Day cream with sun protection

Summer is coming and we all know we have to protect our skin everyday from the harmful rays of the sun. 
There are several natural ingredients that can be incorporated into skin care products.
 Om Cinnamate is a natural suncreen occurring in certain plants, like balsam of Peru and cinnamon leaves. Used with other natural sunscreens like titanium dioxide they will give powerful UVA and UVB protection.  

It's so important to use products with sun protection included.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to produce erythema and pigmentation on the skin. When directly exposed to the sun, there is 10 to 100 times more exposure of UVA than UVB. UVB (considered the Burning Ray) has an immediate, harmful impact on the skin within minutes. UVA (considered the Aging Ray), which you do not feel, has been shown to damage the skin by penetrating deeply into the dermis  producing premature aging, wrinkles, and tumors.
Sun screens are inactive ingredients that are able, however, to avoid chemically or physically UV radiations (UVA and UVB) to penetrate the skin layers. They provide therefore effective protection from the skin damaging effects of the sun rays. Chemical sunscreens act by absorbing UV-light. Physical sunscreens reflect or scatter light in both the visible and UV-spectrum. 

"Daylightful" day cream has several different natural sun protection ingredients. Works great as added protection under your SPF face makeup and for normal sun exposure.

This is an all natural vegan product and is not  SPF rated. It is not recommended for sun bathing or extreme sun exposure.

The Benefits of beautiful Blue Chamomile essential oil

Blue Chamomile is one of my favorite oils.

Blue Chamomile is truly blue.
It gets it's blue color from the high content of azulene, the active organic compound of chamomile. Azulene has anti inflammatory and skin healing properties.
It also has a sweet, gentle scent and is one of the reasons I love to use it in my baby products. However the more I learn about it the more I love it for all my products.
It can be used for acne, burns, skin wounds, eczema, skin rashes and sensitive skin. Because of it's strong anti inflammatroy qualities it's also great for working on muscles, relieving tension, spasms and tightness, it's even good for headaches.

This is the stopper from the bottle of chamomile. What a gorgeous blue this essential oil is.



Blue Chamomile has been used for years as a stress reliever, relaxant, insect repellant and of course in skin care products.

It is an expensive essential oil, but well worth the cost.

Just a few of our products that include blue chamomile.
