Fall Coconut Spice - Hydrating Body Oil and Bar Set

The tree leaves are turning a gorgeous warm tone, pumpkins will soon be decorating porches and doorsteps, and the rich aroma of spice is just what we need to ease us into the autumnal months. This really is the season for sugar and spice and body care that is oh-so-nice! That's why we are excited to share our latest collection - the Calypso Glow Coconut Spice Body Oil and Bar set. Our unique blend of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves powered by deeply nourishing coconut oil is perfect for pampering and hydrating your skin this fall.

Inspired:

With hotels called Mount Cinnamon and Spice Island Beach Resort, it’s little wonder that at this time of the year, we are so readily inspired by the Caribbean island of Grenada. This island is historically known as one of the largest exporters of the world's most treasured spices particularly nutmeg and cinnamon. Add a little clove and altogether you can enjoy the quintessential fall scent and a touch of festive Caribbean goodness!

What’s new about Fall?

Though we all love the beauty of autumn, we should also expect that a change to cooler temperatures, drier air, and harsh central heating may cause our skin to lose much of its water. Dry patches and dull-looking skin may steadily replace our summer glow. If you’re already seeing a noticeable difference in your skin, then you may be experiencing the effects of Fall-dry skin. Now is the perfect time to upgrade your moisturizing routine, before winter really takes hold. You need a cleanser and moisturizer that offers hydration to relieve dryness and leave skin soft. If you’ve already tried our coconut oil based body bars, you will know that they have great skin nourishing properties that replenish moisture to your skin while keeping it soft and smooth. Our body oils are richly moisturizing; helping to keep your skin naturally glowing even on cold winter days.

Fall in love with the Coconut Spice Set - Hydrating Body Oil and Body Bar

Developed with the help of award-winning experts and based on the traditions of the Caribbean, the Calypso Glow Hydrating Body Oil and Bar Set is our latest solution to winter skin care. As with all of our tropical skincare range, we start with coconut oil, for its nourishing goodness. Our cleansing Hydrating Body Bar has a lovely creamy texture and tiny hand-grated nutmeg and clove pieces that provide a mild exfoliation, to help maintain clear and soft skin. Both Oil and Bar contain cinnamon and nutmeg. Here is a little information about the skin benefits of these wonderful spices:

Cinnamon - When raw it’s fragrant, yellowish hue is a compelling spice that reminds us of spiced cakes and richly flavored West Indian curries. However on skin, Cinnamon is known to improve fine lines by plumping the skin. It can also relieve skin irritations and its natural antiseptic properties help keep bacteria at bay while improving the complexion of dry and patchy skin.

Clove – A mineral rich spice full of calcium, hydrochloric acid, iron, vitamin A and C and many others. Clove has been known to help with acne and, due to its rejuvenating properties, it is also found in many products formulated to treat aged skin and wrinkles.

Nutmeg – Rum Punch or Guinness Punch anyone? Nutmeg is a favorite spice grated for flavoring local drinks in the Caribbean and no doubt, you have some in your cupboard for one purpose or another. You'll find the nutmeg exposed within a fleshy ripe fruit and under an interesting thin vine-like cover known as mace. Another natural antioxidant, the seed is sought after for its ability to promote circulation and thereby plumping the skin where fine lines and wrinkles would otherwise be. It is also a natural cleanser and its anti-inflammatory properties are put to good use by those suffering from skin irritations, inflammation, and blemishes.

So when looking for a seasonal solution to dry and patchy Fall-skin you’ll find the above ingredients in natural and essential oil form in our new Calypso Glow Hydrating Body Oil and Bar Set.
