Artisan Chai-Infused Oil Body Scrub

A Cozy Vanilla Chai-Infused Sugar Scrub Experience

Following last week's introduction of a simple sugar scrub, this week brings a new level of indulgence and comfort with a unique body scrub, carefully crafted to elevate your self-care routine. The luxurious formula features Jojoba wax (oil) infused with aromatic chai tea, creating a blend that combines nourishing properties with a captivating fragrance.

The infusion of chai tea into jojoba oil releases a symphony of cozy scents, reminiscent of spiced tea and sunshine. This inviting aroma fills each application with warmth, offering both uplifting and soothing effects. The result is a body scrub that not only pampers your skin but also transforms your routine into a moment of sensory delight.

Ingredients & Their Benefits

• Jojoba Oil Infused with Chai Tea provides comprehensive benefits, including intensive moisturization, regulation of oily skin, and support in combating acne. It is effective in calming inflammation associated with conditions such as eczema and sunburn, encourages wound healing, and helps diminish visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and reduced elasticity. Owing to its resemblance to the skin’s natural sebum, combined with antioxidants like Vitamin E and antibacterial properties, this product is non-comedogenic and generally suitable for most skin types. The Chai Tea Blend adds a spicy aroma to the blend along with skin loving benefits (see benefits of the herbs below).

Some suggestions on herbs to use for your Chai Tea Blend (or use a premade one):

a.     Cinnamon Sticks: Adds warmth and sweet spice to the infusion. Cinnamon is known for its antibacterial properties and can help improve circulation, promoting a healthy glow.

b.     Cardamom Pods: Provides a fragrant, slightly citrusy note. Cardamom is rich in antioxidants, which may help protect skin from damage and support an even complexion.

c.     Cloves: Imparts a bold, aromatic spice. Cloves have antiseptic and anti- inflammatory qualities that can soothe irritated skin and support overall skin health.

d.     Black Peppercorns: For a hint of heat and depth. Black pepper helps stimulate blood flow and can enhance skin tone and texture.

e.     Ginger Root (fresh or dried): Delivers spicy, invigorating notes. Ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, which may help calm redness and boost radiance.

f.      Star Anise: For a licorice-like undertone. Star anise contains compounds that may help smooth skin and maintain its elasticity.

g.     Vanilla Bean: Adds a sweet, creamy finish. Vanilla is soothing to the skin and has antioxidant properties that may help protect against environmental stressors.

• White and Brown Sugar: Offers natural exfoliation, helping to smooth and soften the skin while imparting a subtle sweetness.

• Golden Jojoba Beads: Adds gentle exfoliation and boosts hydration with a touch of golden luxury. (Optional)

• Essential Oil Blend: A carefully balanced array of Vanilla Botanical Extract, Cardamom, Black Pepper, and Ginger Root CO2 delivers a complex, comforting scent profile. Each essential oil contributes its own unique note—sweet vanilla, spicy cardamom, a hint of peppery warmth, and the invigorating zing of ginger.

1. Vanilla Botanical Extract: Vanilla is rich in antioxidants that help protect the skin from environmental stressors and premature aging. It also has soothing properties that can calm irritated skin and offer gentle hydration, making it ideal for sensitive or dry skin types.

2. Cardamom Essential Oil: Cardamom is known for its antibacterial qualities, which can help cleanse the skin and reduce the appearance of blemishes. It also has a toning effect, supporting a brighter and more even complexion.

3. Black Pepper Essential Oil: Black pepper stimulates circulation, which may promote a healthy glow and support detoxification. Its warming effect can help ease muscle tension and invigorate tired skin, while its antioxidant content helps defend against free radicals.

4. Ginger Root CO2 Extract: Ginger is renowned for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can soothe redness and irritation while supporting the skin's natural repair processes. It also helps revitalize dull skin, leaving it looking refreshed and energized.
