Why I Created the Blue Lotus Oil Elixir.

To answer this questions I have to add some context, over the past few years, my journey with blue lotus tea and ceremonial cacao has been transformative. These ancient plant medicines have deepened my connection to nature, grounding me in ways I never imagined.

Understanding Our Connection to Nature: The Concept of Biophilia.

Through this journey, I’ve come to realise how deeply connected we are to the natural world, a relationship rooted in what’s known as biophilia—the idea that humans have an innate need to connect with other forms of life, like plants and animals. This isn’t just a preference; it’s a fundamental part of who we are. Our bodies, including our skin, are extensions of nature itself.

  

The Struggle with Conventional Skincare Products.

Admittedly I am someone who always struggled with committing to a 'skincare routine', I found it challenging to trust the products lining my bathroom shelves. The ingredient lists were often longer than the product descriptions, filled with chemicals I couldn't even pronounce let alone understand. It felt contradictory to put something on my skin that I couldn’t fully understand or trust. The skincare industry is a maze of marketing gimmicks and unnecessary additives, making it hard to find products that genuinely align with a desire for more natural products.

That’s why I gravitated towards natural oils like coconut, moringa, and jojoba for my skin and hair. These pure, simple ingredients made sense to me—they were closer to nature, without the excess. But even in the world of "natural" products, I found it difficult to discern what was truly authentic. The market is flooded with options, many of which claim to be natural but are far from it.

The Inspiration Behind the Blue Lotus Oil Elixir.

Returning to my experiences with blue lotus and ceremonial cacao, I realised how much these rituals had helped me reconnect with nature and heighten my awareness. It made me think: Why can't my skincare ritual offer the same sense of connection? I wanted something that felt as meaningful and intentional as my tea ceremonies or meditative practices.

This led me to explore the properties of blue lotus that could benefit my skin. Blue lotus is known for its calming and anti-inflammatory effects, making it perfect for soothing irritated skin and reducing redness. It’s also rich in antioxidants, which can help to fight free radicals and promote a youthful glow. The natural compounds in blue lotus can help balance oil production, making it suitable for all skin types.

I also research how different oils work together, and I was already familiar with the incredible benefits of moringa oil. Moringa is packed with vitamins A and C, which are known for boosting collagen production and skin cell renewal. It’s also rich in oleic acid, which helps lock in moisture, keeping the skin hydrated and supple. The combination of moringa and blue lotus felt like the perfect marriage of nature’s gifts.

As I began working with this blend, I found myself genuinely enjoying the small ritual of applying it to my skin. It wasn’t just about the physical benefits—though I quickly noticed my skin becoming more hydrated, my dark circles fading, and my blemishes clearing up—it was about the connection I felt to nature and myself in those quiet moments.

Introducing the Blue Lotus Oil Elixir: Aligning with Our Values.

 After months of testing and refining, I decided it was time to bring this Blue Lotus Oil Elixir into our collection. While our brand has always been known for grounding drinks, this oil aligns perfectly with our values: it’s naturally sourced, ethically grown, and made with pure intention.

This elixir is more than just skincare; it’s a bridge between nature, spirituality, and the natural world—a small, daily ritual that connects you back to the essence of who we are.
