Thann Potpourris, a Breath of Fresh Air:

In each of the 3 Aromatherapy Body care collections, Thann offers a concentrated version of the uplifting blends of essential oils. They are 100% pure essential oil with no added artificial colour or fragrance to ensure the healthiest and most beneficial aromatherapy experience. The Oriental Essence (Lemongrass and Kaffir Lime) and the Aromatic Wood (Orange, Tangerine and Nutmeg) come with a glass jar filled with attractive natural tree bark. Once the bark has absorbed the oil, you can enjoy the safe and continuous subtle scent day after day. These potpourris are particularly ideal for refreshing and scenting small spaces such as washrooms and closets. They are also a trendy and innovative way to naturally scent car interiors as the jar conveniently fits into the cup holder. The Mediterranean Floral essential oil (Lavender and Rosemary) comes along with a simple wooden hanging piece that can be hung anywhere your heart desires. The oils themselves can also be used in many different ways. To scent larger rooms, simply drop a few drops in water in an oil burner or add a few drops to a hot bath.

Treasure from the Paddy Field

Rice Bran Oil is the oil extracted from the germ and inner husk of rice. Despite its uncommon use in skincare in the West, this oil has a long and successful history in Japan where women, known as the “Rice Bran Beauties” have been using the oil on their face and body for hundreds of years. Rice bran Oil has been shown to reverse the effects of aging by slowing the formation of wrinkles thanks to its concentration of three Vitamin-Es. Recent research has shown the benefits of such Vitamin-E group anti-oxidants, Tocopherol, Oryzanol and Tocotrienol. In fact, Rice Bran Oil is one of the best sources of tocotrienol, a powerful antioxidant that fights to dramatically reduce free radicals (caused by pollution). Oryzanol, when applied on the epidermis can also prevent UV rays from entering the underlying tissue. This miracle oil has a high percentage of fatty acids and also has a much smaller molecule than other oils allowing the nutrients to penetrate even deeper into the underlying tissue of the skin, protecting it from within from the sun and harsh environment. It absorbs almost instantly, never leaving a greasy feel or residue. The skin becomes clear, supple and effectively moisturized for a longer period of time. Rice Bran Oil is the key ingredient in Thann’s skin care products and the highest quality Rice Bran Oil is used, providing all the benefits that it has to offer. Try Thann’s beautiful range of natural Bath & Massage Oils (containing 95% of rice bran oil) which can also be used as intensive weekly moisturizing treatments. For face care, The Rice Collection also contains a high percentage of Rice Bran Oil.

Protect, detoxify and nourish your skin

Stressful busy lifestyles, inconsistent diets and lack of sleep can all have a harmful impact on our complexions. Plus, the combination of the ozone depletion, increasing pollution and climate changes wreak havoc on our health, and unfortunately signs can usually show up first on our skin. Due to all the environmental pollutants in the air, our skin needs much more help these days than just healthy food and sleep. It requires daily protection as well as weekly deep cleansing. Dull, uneven skin texture or acne starts when the pores become clogged with dirt, toxins and sebum (oil produced by the skin). It’s necessary to cleanse twice a day with a gentle cleanser. The Shiso Facial Cleanser soothes and softens skin while it gently cleanses and helps purify the delicate skin on the face. Thann’s Face Care products all contain powerful natural antioxidants that are essential for fighting free-radicals caused by pollution. Once or twice a week, it’s vital to scrub away rough skin and dead skin cells in order to start revealing a brighter complexion. You can do this while nourishing your skin with the Oatmeal Face Scrub which contains antioxidants and vitamins A, B and C. Exfoliating is important before a weekly 15 minute detoxifying treatment. The Detoxifying Clay Mask clarifies skin by absorbing toxins and dirt that become embedded in the pores while the rice bran oil deeply nourishes. Rice bran oil is also a main ingredient in the Rice Extract Moisturizing Cream which acts as natural U.V protection as well as provides daily natural antioxidants to the face (3 vitamin Es). It is non-comedogenic meaning it will never clog pores.

Conscious Candle Lover

Some candles smell far too strong or artificial while some can release toxins in the air as well as make a big mess! That’s why Thann’s range of Aromatherapy Candles make a beautiful natural choice for the more health conscious candle lover. They are lead free and made from pure palm oil with no paraffin or any other petroleum by products. Many candles claim to be aromatherapy when they’re in fact scented with chemical ingredients, and these are very far from having any therapeutic benefits. However, Thann’s candles contain no artificial colour or fragrance and are infused with invigorating pure blends of essential oils that fill the air with exceptionally beautiful scents, naturally. For practical use, the candle flame is perfectly stabilized and safe in Thann’s stylish glass pot, never leaving marks on furniture or allowing the wax to drip. Relax before bed with the Mediterranean Floral Candle (Lavender and Rosemary) to help soothe away tension and stress, or uplift and energize your body and spirit with the Aromatic Wood Candle (Orange, Tangerine and Nutmeg). It’s interesting to know that it is not only the smell that your mind and body react to but also the actual molecular structure of the plant that is carried by the essential oil. There are four scents (collections) to choose from for creating the most perfect atmosphere, and for complete indulgence, match up your favourite candle with Thann’s natural aromatherapy skincare products.

Shiso cares for all skin types.

Sometimes it can be hard to figure out what skin type you have, and what products are most suitable. Most skincare products are targeted towards one very specific need whether it be for acne, sensitive skin or wrinkles... This can be frustrating as it seems as though most people have combination skin. It is not uncommon for someone in their 20s ,30s or 40s to have mild acne but also to require wrinkle protection for his or her dry and/or sensitive skin. Luckily, Thann has formulated a complete collection with this in mind. The Shiso plant from Japan has been found to help other plants and trees grow around them by restoring and maintaining nutrients in the earth. The Shiso extract has been specially formulated by Thann’s scientific team to now benefit the skin in a similar way. This gentle ingredient has powerful properties such as anti-bacterial and anti-histamine which work to maintain fresh, clean and clear skin. It also fights aging free-radicals protecting the skin from pollutants as well as maintaining balanced moisture. The Shiso Anti-aging Face Cream also contains Black Tea extract which promotes the skin’s ability to maintain and reproduce elastin and collagen, effectively fighting fine lines and wrinkles. Combining this with other Shiso products such as the Shiso Facial Cleanser (with green tea) and the gentle alcohol-free Shiso Astringent Toner (with Algae) will ensure that you are targeting many needs at once such as fighting blemishes as well as wrinkles. The diverse properties that the Shiso Collection offers make this line of products ideal and effective for almost any skin type at any age.

Spa Results at Home

Not everyone thinks about treating themselves to a day at the spa... But what if you can do the same thing in the comfort of your own home? It’s quite amazing the results that you can achieve just by finding the right products. With Thann’s line of paraben-free, natural therapy products, you can create a three step intensive detoxifying and rejuvenating treatment that will have you feeling like you just woke up to brand new skin! The first step is to deeply cleanse and “wake your skin up” by scrubbing away dull dead skin cells. Take your time to gently massage one of Thann’s Aromatherapy Salt Scrubs all over your body concentrating on dry rough areas, and don’t forget your feet! Rinse off and pat dry. This will improve circulation and prepare your skin for the next step. You might want to cover your bed with towels before and possibly get your partner or friend to help you, or even better, to take turns with you! Cover as much skin as you can with Thann’s Body Mud Mask or work in sections. This special mineral treatment works deep down to eliminate toxins embedded in the pores as well as rejuvenate, clarify and firm your skin. Lie down and relax for 15 minutes, then rinse off thoroughly. Just when you think you can’t feel any softer, the final step is to smooth on Thann’s Top product- The Shiso Body Butter! Its rich non-greasy formula will deeply nourish, tone and brighten your skin. As a result, your skin is dramatically transformed, healthy and clear. After fitting this at-home three step routine into your weekly schedule, you’ll have a hard time matching the results, even after a weekend spa retreat!
