Hey friends!
Well.....sh*t! I usually operate at a certain level of perfection when formulating products buuuuuut, that has been tested and this time around I made a mistake. Lucky for you, my slight error means you get to save money and enjoy a slightly off version of my silky Body Custard AT 50% OFF!!
The Body Custard is still the beautifully rich and creamy blend you know and love. The difference is slightly more botanical extract at the bottom of the jar. It may look like water but I promise it's extra goodness and perfectly safe to use.
Simply stir and use as you usually would.
PRO TIP: Combine with the Body Nectar for an ultra lush silky feel on your skin. The perfect treat for the changing weather.
At this price, it's the perfect opportunity for those wanting to try the Body Custard and a good time for Body Custard lovers to stock up!!
SUPPLY IS LIMITED SO RUN NOW AND GET YOURS

SELFCARE IS A DAILY PRACTICE
Selfcare is more than just getting a massage or treating yourself to things. This involves respecting yourself, not being hard on yourself and honoring your limits. This allows you to feel not ALIVE but PRESENT in your own life.
Selfcare is a life-skill and often we have to re-learn this practice and continously reshape it as we go through life.
Start slow.....check out our 5 day Selfcare Challenge
What selfcare practices will you take up daily to support your daily life??

Skincare PSA ๐ข
You see influencers on IG and YT and TT do it all the time and you think it looks cute....It ain't!
Look, there's absolutely no need to drag a dropper over your face while dispensing product.Why?
BACTERIA BACTERIA BACTERIA๐คข
Most products are designed & preserved to work with the ingredients they already have. Introducing your facial oils & bacteria to the mix simply creates a petri dish of nasties that you do not want hanging out on your skin.
Avoid contaminating your well made products that you've spent your hard earned cash on.
Droppers drop product onto your fingers or palms....
NO FACE TOUCHING!!!

Traditional Uses:โฃ
โฃ
Once considered ๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ๐๐, the marula tree was linked to ๐๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ and happy marriage in ancient times. In multiple cultures, marula oil is so revered itโs given as a gift or used in ceremonies to ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ค ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐โand new mothers use it on themselves and their babiesโฃ
โฃ
Many parts of the marula tree are used as ingredients in food and traditional medicine throughout Africa. โฃ
โฃ
The locals use every part of the tree:โฃ
โฃ
โข The softwood is used for carving bowls,stools, and canoes.โฃ
โข The inner bark can be used to make rope and was once used to make a brown dye.โฃ
โข The bark is also said to have medicinal qualities, helping to treat dysentery, rheumatism, insect bites, allergies, malaria, and other ailments.โฃ
โข The leaves are used in traditional medicine to soothe spider bites & burns and to relieve heartburn.โฃ
โฃ
The gem of the treeโthe fruit (The part the elephants like - ever heard of druken elephants?) The fruit is the part of the marula tree is our focus today. The size of a small plum with a light yellow skin, it can be used in a number of ways:โฃ
โฃ
โข Eaten freshโthey say itโs tart, sweet, andโฃ
refreshing, similar to a guava.โฃ
โข Cooked to make jam and juices.โฃ
โข Pureed and frozen to make juice blends.โฃ
โข Cooked, fermented, and distilled to make wines and the popular Amarula cream liqueur.โฃ

Beauty Benefits:โฃ
โฃ
โข ๐๐ข๐๐ก ๐ข๐ง ๐ฎ๐ง๐ฌ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐๐ข๐: Oleic acid, as mentioned above, is an omega-9 fatty acid that sinks much deeper into the skin than many other moisturizers. The result is more intense, longer-lasting moisture. A 2002 study, for example, found that oleic acid enhanced pe*******on more than synthetic pe*******on enhancers. Clinical tests have found that marula increases the skinโs ability to hold onto moisture.โฃ
โข ๐๐ข๐๐ก ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ฑ๐ข๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ: Marula, like most natural oils, is rich in protective and anti-aging antioxidants.โฃ
โข ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ง ๐: Vitamin C is a powerhouse ingredient for skin, helping to protect from environmental stressors, firm and tighten, as well as brighten skin.โฃ
โข ๐๐ข๐๐ก ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ง ๐ ๐ญ๐จ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ก๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฌ: These fat-soluble compounds protect, and provide a radiant look to the skin.โฃ
โข ๐๐ญ๐๐๐ฅ๐: Because of its unique makeup, marula is a stable oil, and easily resists oxidation, which means it will last on your shelf. They say itโs 10 times more stable than olive oil.โฃ
โข ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฅ๐ค๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ฅ: Marula oil is medium rich and silky to the touch, making it ideal as a massage oil. African women have long used it to massage babies and as a body lotion.โฃ
โฃ
Have you tried Our Body Nectar yet? It's an intoxicating sensory rich experience
