Hosted by
Bianca Valerio, the event had a nature setting – mini gardens, blooms, and even
wood crate boxes as if to emphasize the fact that these ingredients were
sourced from the most exotic locations. There was even a mini-spa to get a
revitalizing experience with The Body Shop’s new skincare collections.
 |
| The Body Shop recently launched its precious ingredients infused skincare ranges—the Oils of Life and Spa of the World at SM Makati. |
To create its Oils of Life, The Body Shop searched the world and
selected 3 precious seed oils known for their revitalizing and repairing
properties, and infused this in its recently launched skincare range.
The Oils of Life’s
three precious seed oils have been infused in highly sensorial textures to
bring new life into your skin: Black Cumin
Seed Oil from the Egyptian Nile Valley, which is known for its concentration in antioxidants; Camellia Seed Oil from the evergreen trees from
China, which is naturally rich in nutritive oleic acid; and Rosehip Seed Oil from the Andes
Foothills of Chile, which is rich in Omega 3 and 6.
 |
| Spa of the World’s Relaxing Ritual helps one de-stress, unwind, and reconnect with body and mind with the African Ximenia Scrub, Himalayan Charcoal Body Clay, Japanese Camellia Cream, and French Lavender Massage Oil. |
And
when you choose Oils of Life™ skincare, you help plant seeds and make a
positive difference. In partnership with World Land Trust, The Body Shop aims
to plant 1 million seeds of native tree species in degraded areas within
seasonal dry forest in the Cerro Blanco Protected Forest. The planting will be
followed by monitoring and maintenance actions to promote regeneration of
forest cover.
The
project will take place over a two-year period and will commence in August
2015. Seeds will be collected for
storage and preserved for planting, and later in the year, the plantation site
will be prepared for sowing. This is in
line with The Body Shop’s commitment to help protect the earth’s varied
biodiversity and to help preserve and enrich life on the planet.
Escapism, on the other hand, starts
