Did you know unless it says “organic body oil” on the label, there is a possibility that the beauty product you are using contains formaldehyde? This ingredient is actually present in nail polish, shampoo, body wash, conditioner, eye shadow, and skin cleansers. Typically used as an adhesive, the chemical inhibits the growth of bacteria. Just imagine the ill effects not just on your skin but on your body – if you continue using skincare products that contain such an ingredient.

This is the reason why all natural body oils and beauty products with organic on the label has become hugely popular recently. Organic products are those made from all-natural ingredients which are grown without pesticides and other harmful ingredients. Since they are chemical-free, the products are safe to use on the skin, will not harm the body, and the process behind the manufacturing does not harm the environment.

What’s the Difference between Regular and Organic Body Oils?

Let’s say that you are looking for a specific beauty product like body oil. Why should you choose organic over regular? Here’s a quick list of the reasons:

• The ingredients will be absorbed by the deepest layers of the skin.

Body oils are based from natural ingredients like gardenia, orange blossom, lavender, sweet rose, peony, white jasmine, rosemary, chamomile, bergamot, lemon, cacao, and blackberry. When combined with organic oils and other all-natural ingredients, the formula seeps beneath the superficial layer of the skin. As the oil is absorbed, it leaves a silky, non-greasy finish on the outer skin layer.

• There’s no need for you to worry about allergies from chemical-based ingredients.

When you’re buying a chemical-based hair dye, it is indicated on the label that you must do a skin patch test first. This is because there might be ingredients on the dye product that you could be allergic to. When buying organic oil, there is no need for you to worry about such allergies. Just make sure that the product you’re buying is free from chemicals, parabens, sulfate, phthalate, formaldehyde, triclosan, propylene, and synthetic colors or dyes.

• The consistency and feel of the oil on your skin is ultra-rich and luxurious.

Finally, body oils made from organic ingredients simply feel ultra-rich and luxurious when applied on the skin. They are moisturizing, silky, non-greasy, and has just-the-right amount of fragrance.

With all these benefits and more, there’s no reason for you to choose regular over organic body oils, is there?

Browse through the health and beauty products section of any supermarket or grocery store and you are bound to find a product labelled: organic skin care. The same thing holds true when you go online shopping – there is a huge array of products with all-natural or organic on the label.

Why is it all the rage these days?  Here’s a quick look at the reasons:

• Organic skincare products have ingredients which are derived from nature.

Jojoba, rose, shea butter, lemon, vanilla, peony, gardenia, orange blossom, coconut, vanilla, bergamot, honey – the list of ingredients in organic products is practically endless. The common denominator? They are all derived from nature. Instead of going for chemical-based lotions, moisturizers, and other skin care products, it is better to go with an all-natural formula.  All natural skincare products steer clear of chemicals and synthetic ingredients, some of which may be harmful for the skin. Instead of addressing problems like wrinkles or sun spots, for example, slathering on chemical-based moisturizers will do your skin more harm than good.

• Natural ingredients are better for the skin and the body.

Another promise made by chemical-based beauty products is instantaneous results. Sure, that pricey lotion might give your skin hydrating results after just one use. But will it last for a long time? When it comes to natural beauty, there are no shortcuts and instant results. You have to make sure that whatever product you are slathering onto your skin – the ingredients of which are absorbed into the bloodstream – are 100% safe and natural. Not only will you get the moisturizing results that you want, but you can also build a skin care regimen that will make you look your best over the passing years.  

• Natural works!

Finally, organic skincare is better because it works. It’s that simple. Nature-based products are designed to blend well with the human skin and body. Organic ingredients provide nutrients to the skin, which boosts its ability to heal and mend itself.

So if you are looking for skin care products that will deliver the results that you want without resulting to allergies or undue harm to your skin, look for ones with organic, all-natural ingredients.

Every spring throughout the rocky meadows of the Mediterranean a cluster of yellow fragrant flowers of Helichrysum Italicum begin to flourish.

The flower that never fades blossoms into places where only rare plants can survive. It is defiant in the face of the elements, thus proudly gaining its title of Immortelle or “Everlasting”.

The herbaceous plant, Helichrysum is one of the main ingredients in Ladione’s Ageless Immortelle + Rose Face Oil. It is native to North Africa, Crete and parts of Asia that border the Mediterranean.

 It is a vibrant golden flower that grows in clusters called cymes and appear at the pinnacle of the plant. Helichrysum comes from the Greek word “Helios”, which means “Sun” and  “Chrysos” meaning “Gold”.  

Herbalists have used immortelle oil for centuries for its anti-inflammatory, calming and anti-bacterial properties. They believed it could close wounds and heal bruises, cuts and burns.  

Ladione incorporates this oil into a luxurious ageless blend that combines nature’s most potent botanicals to reduce visible signs of aging and transform dry or damaged-looking skin.

Rich frankincense essential oil helps reduce the appearance of inflammation while Sea Buckthorn essential oil acts as an astringent, quickly reducing the effects of age and environmental factors. Neroli essential oil defuses unevenness for softer, brighter, and more youthful skin. Ageless Immortelle + Rose Face oil is  formulated in highly absorbent and nutrient-rich base for immediate results.

A popular question in the skincare industry is, "What are the differences between face oils and face creams?"

Face oils by nature are formulated with a smaller molecular weight, which helps soak into the deepest layers of your skin whereas face creams and moisturizers tend to sit on the surface of the skin. 

Everyone can benefit by using night face oils, no matter the skin type. Using night oils adds a sense of luxury to your nighttime routine.

 As the name implies, night oils should be gently pressed onto the skin at nighttime because they’re typically too heavy to layer under your makeup. That is because they are formulated using heavier, thicker oils that may give your complexion too much of a shine during the day.

LADIONE’s Revitalizing Nightfall Face Oil is perfect for protecting, rebalancing and nourishing the skin for a luminous natural glow.  Our night oil is an intensive overnight oil that works throughout the night to repair moisture loss naturally.

Nightfall Face Oil works to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, working endlessly throughout the night to lessen the visibility of damage caused by the sun and everyday exposure to daily aggressors and pollutants. 

Bursting with botanicals such as Organic Lavender Oil, Organic Coriander, Organic Baobab Oil and cold-pressed extracts of Avocado, all promote skin strength and radiance. It is rich in antioxidants and Vitamin E that intensively hydrate the skin.  

These soothing botanicals will make you feel calm and relaxed for a good nights sleep. The very next morning your skin will be dewy, luminous, and glowy from the first application.

How To Use:

• Apply 3-6 drops to entire face and/or neck daily by gently pressing into your complexion with the heat of your hands. 

You can use our night oil under our Revitalizing Nightfall Hydrating Face Moisturizer to supercharge your nighttime routine. 

When your skin is healthy it simply shows. It is naturally well balanced from within and glows beautifully.

Unfortunately there are daily factors that challenge the skin such as pollution, stress, sunlight, hormones or even lack of sleep. All of these things affect us all.

Natural Triggers are produced deep within your skin to defend itself. However, these immune triggers can become over stimulated. When this happens the natural equilibrium of the skin is disrupted. Over time, healthy cells and your skin’s elastin are damaged. Your skin won’t be able to repair itself and it will eventually lose its glow with age and time.

LADIONE’s Ageless Immortelle + Rose Hydrating Face Moisturizer is naturally formulated to reduce this cycle of damage that happens overtime balancing your skin from within.   

As soon as applied, the powerful ingredients of Immortelle and Bulgarian Rose are absorbed into the skin and begin to calm these immune triggers. The Ageless Immortelle + Rose Hydrating Face Moisturizer revitalizes the skin, boosting its radiance and helps visibly minimize the appearance of fine lines.

The Result? Balanced, beautiful and glowing skin. Discover our collection at www.Ladione.com.

If you’re interested in trying oils as moisturizers, but fear that they may be too heavy on the skin, organic dry body oil may be a better option to keep your skin soft, supple and nourished.  

Here at LADIONE we love using our organic dry body oils in the cooler months of the year when our skin tends to need more nourishment and moisture.  Our Dry Body Oils work instantly to revitalize the skin, soothe the senses, and combat stress.

What is A Dry Body Oil?

When we say dry oil we are simply talking about the end result and the finish that the oil leaves on your skin. Oils that are typically “dry” tend to be high in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Carrier Oils such as Sunflower Seed Oil, Camellia Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, Squalene Oil and Rosehip Seed Oil are commonly known for being fast absorbing oils.

Our Dry Body Oils are formulated using Organic and Natural light weight and quick-absorbing oils that will not leave that sticky greasy residue on the skin. 

Each of our Organic and All Natural Dry Body Oils are handcrafted to deeply nourish and hydrate parched and lackluster skin, leaving it radiant. Its weightless texture comes from a blended formula of Organic Camellia Seed Oil, and Organic Sweet Almond Oil. Also added Macadamia Nut Oil, Avocado Oil and Organic Sunflower Oil to help deliver the necessary fatty acids to the skin.

All of these lightweight Dry Body Oils sink in the skin, each fragranced with Essential Oils that smell absolutely beautiful, and do not just disappear.

Have you been using those aggressive peel-off charcoal masks? Did you know that this latest craze in the skincare industry can actually be damaging your skin?

When you apply these types of masks to your face and try to peel it off, the mask is actually adhering to everything on your face. It is removing the necessary protective natural oils that sit on top of your face as well as the hair.  These types of masks can also lead to rashes, chemical burns and pain. Yikes! 

Our natural oils are actually protecting our skin from daily aggressors in the air and bacteria. So when you peel off your mask you're actually stripping these oils in the process; doing more harm than good. 

Our Charcoal Mask deeply soaks into your skin and goes to work right away to cleanse your pores, absorb oil, exfoliate and remove blackheads and dirt. The best part is with Ladione's Clarifying Activated Charcoal Face Mask you can wash these impurities away-not rip them off. 

Active Ingredients That Work 

Active Charcoal

Did you know that active charcoal has been around for years? Doctors have been using it as an absorbent on patients who have many have accidental poisonings for overdoses. This is because active charcoal absorbs foreign substances in the body.

The same idea applies when we spread it on our skin. It deeply penetrates the skin and the active charcoal draws oil, dirt, toxins, and bacteria out of the skin when we rinse our face.  

Kaolin Clay

We incorporate delicate White Kaolin Clay in our Face Mask because of its ability to mildly exfoliate sensitive skin. Like active charcoal, it draws out impurities such as germs and dirt, leaving the skin cleansed and unclogged.

This superior clay is one of our favorites in that it pampers the skin and overall improves the appearance of skin leaving it radiant and soft.

Hyaluronic Acid 

Did you know Hyaluronic acid, known as Hyaluronan, is actually already in our skin? This carbohydrate molecule is a lubricant found in our bodies, specifically in the connective tissues of our joints, skin, eyes, and nerves.

Why do we love it in the skincare industry? It delivers an immense amount of moisture to our skin! This molecule can actually hold up to one thousand times its weight in water.

As the active charcoal and clays draw out impurities, our active ingredient hyaluronic acid acts as a humectant to deliver skin-soothing moisture and anti-inflammatory properties.

 Your skin will be cleaner, healthier and smoother after each mask application! 

How to use:

Apply a thick, even layer to clean, dry skin. Leave the masque on for 10–15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. To get the best results, masque 2-3 times a week if you have oily to combination skin, or 1-2 times weekly if you have dry or sensitive skin.

How do you relax?

We can easily get carried away with the stresses of life that we often do forget how important it is to take some time for ourselves at the end of the day and unwind. 

A relaxing warm bath at the end of the day is a great way to soothe your mind and body.

LADIONE’S bath salts are composed of a prestigious blend of the world’s finest Dendritic, Atlantic and Epsom mineral crystalline salts deriving from the Mediterranean Seacoast of France, England, and the Great Salt Lake.

Our bath salts not only look and smell beautiful but have beneficial minerals easily absorb into the pore’s of the skin and detoxify it. While you soak in your warm bath, our bath salts go to work right away to draw out impurities, toxins, oil, dirt and sweat from the skin.

Each of our luxurious high moisturizing bath salts are hand-blended with essential oils and flower petals sure to leave your skin soft and supple.

How to use:

While Filling Bath With Warm Water, Add 1 Cup of Bath Salts. Indulge And Soak For 20-30 Minutes.

The finishing touch? Nourish your skin with our rich Dry Body Oils. Apply all over, focusing on your elbows, knees, and heels, which can be drier in the cooler months! 

Enjoy! We wish you a relaxing bath! 

Do you feel that nip in the air? Autumn has begun and we have officially transitioned from Summer to Fall. Temperatures begin to fall, beautiful hues of orange and yellow transform the leaves as the sun sets earlier in the day.

The summer sun brought with it hot and humid weather, which in return caused increase sebum production. This could cause our skin to become heavily congested as sweat, dead skin and oil built up throughout those summer months.

Exfoliating once or twice a week is a great way to shed our dry summer skin. Did you know that your skin is constantly replenishing skin cells from old ones to healthy new ones? As we age, the body’s natural exfoliation process slows down. 

This is why we can combat the outdoor elements by using body polishes. Ladione’s Organic and Natural Body Polishes gently exfoliate and micro-polish the skin leaving it soft, smooth and hydrated. Each jar is infused with premium oils such as Jojoba, Sweet Almond Oil and vast synergy of essential oils.

Ladione’s collection of body polishes gently exfoliate using the ever popular raw turbinado sugar which carries minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron. Your skin will thank you for this one.
