So much of the focus in the natural & organic beauty world is on ingredients to avoid. It’s easy to forget that what’s so great about the products we discover that don’t have any of the bad stuff, is that they’re chock full of good stuff! In a new feature called “5 Things Friday”, we’d like to highlight some of that good stuff in 5 points.

Today’s 5 things come from a new line to Spirit Beauty Lounge: Amala.  Amala (ah-mah-la) means “most pure” in Sanskrit, “revered mother” in Tibetan and “love her” in Spanish. This German company seeks out high potency organic plants and custom distills them to ensure they retain their full therapeutic value. By protecting each plant, they’re able to formulate incredibly effective skincare with proven results!

Their 5 key ingredients:

1. Organic Emulsifiers One of the most unique aspects of this line  is their proprietary organic milk emulsifier. Often the emulsifiers that make lotions and creams feel so luxurious can be tainted with impurities.  Instead of making excuses, Amala made promises – and to stick to their commitment to purity, developed their own emulsifier derived from local German organic milk.  The emulsifier is used throughout the Hydrate line.  Note the impossibly creamy, luxe feel of the Hydrating Hand Cream.

2. Blue Lotus Nymphaea caerulea. The entire Purify collection for oily and combination skin is rich in this calming ingredient. Amala’s Blue Lotus is wildcrafted in India and custom distilled by a master distiller there. Blue Lotus acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, high in amino acids in the purify line.  Our Blue Lotus must-haves are the Purifying Gel Cleanser and Gel Moisturizer which pamper rather than batter breakout prone skin.

3. Jasmine Jasminum Officinale. Certified organic Jasmine is cultivated and custom distilled in Egypt by Amala’s Fair Trade farm partner there. This divine extract helps nourish, moisturize and soften dry skin, while providing antioxidant protection. The unforgettable aroma of Jasmine in the Hydrating Cream Cleanser makes face-washing an intoxicating experience.

4. Cocoa Bean Theobroma Cacao. Amala’s African cocoa bean is Fair Trade and certified organic. The entire rejuvenating line owes it’s dramatic results to cocoa bean’s  insanely powerful antioxidant properties. Cocoa Bean helps stimulate microcirculation while restoring elasticity and providing protection from free radical age damage.  In fact, in an independent 28 day clinical study, using Amala’s cocoa bean-rich Rejuvenating Serum, 100% of women experienced a significant improvement in the depth of lines and wrinkles!

5. Myrtle Myrtus Communis.  Perfect for use in body treatments, myrtle cleanses and conditions skin while helping to remove impurities.  In just days of using the Detoxifying Body Polish and Body Butter, our rough, bumpy legs and arms were smooth and silky!
