Aesop Roll-On Deodorants, two new personal care formulations to refresh body and senses

Aesop is introducing its first Roll-On Deodorants with high-quality botanical ingredients to help reduce and mask body odour on March 5, 2018 across the globe.

The new Déodorant Roll-On and Herbal Deodorant Roll-On offer an aluminium- and alcohol-free alternative for those whose skin may be irritated by conventional deodorants. They are a sibling to the company’s much-loved Déodorant and Herbal Deodorant sprays, which launched in 2010 and 2016, respectively.

‘Our Roll-On Deodorants feature a unique blend of essential oils to impart a refreshing fragrance and effectively inhibit the growth of odour producing underarm bacteria,’ said Dr Rebecca Watkinson, Aesop’s Innovation & Research Manager.

Both formulations have a smooth, creamy texture and contain Zinc Ricinoleate and Wasabi Extract, which work in tandem with essential oils to reduce the development of body odour.

Suitable for both men and women, Déodorant Roll-On features an earthy, woody fragrance conferred by Vetiver Root, Coriander Seed, and Patchouli, while Herbal Déodorant Roll-On imparts a subtly herbaceous aroma from a combination of Sage, Eucalyptus, Lavender and Neroli.

To use, roll generously under each arm after bathing and allow to dry before dressing.

Each Roll-On is packaged in an elegant 50mL amber glass bottle. They are available at signature stores, counters in select department stores, and at Aesop Online.

The magical hair treatment from Neal’s Yard Remedies

Welcome to Neal’s Yard Remedies

Neal’s Yard first opened it’s doors in 1981 in the heart of central London, England. Their belief that beauty should be natural, not synthetic, has been at the heart of their business since they started, over 30 years ago. They believe in nature, honesty and transparency.Their vision was to bring the expertise of the apothecary and holistic approach to health and beauty to people and communities.

Today awareness and interest in natural remedies, skin and body care are on the increase, so here are some products I personally experienced.

Nurturing Rose Shampoo

The nurturing shampoo enhances the vibrancy and shine of dry, damaged or coloured hair, leaving it looking and feeling smoother. The blend of vitamin-rich rosehip, sea buckthorn, and passion flower oils gently cleanses your hair and scalp, and helps to minimise split ends. The shampoos have a natural low lathering foam to avoid stripping away the hair’s natural oils, which can leave it feeling brittle and dry as well as irritating the scalp.

  • Great for dry, damaged or coloured hair
  • Improves vibrancy and shine
  • Low lathering foam

Nurturing Rose Conditioner

The nurturing conditioner replenishes dry, damaged or coloured hair, to leave it looking and feeling shiny and healthy. With a botanical blend of olive and coconut oils, maple extract, and a delicate infusion of rose and calendula flowers, it enhances vibrancy and shine from root to tip.

  • Great for dry, damaged or coloured hair
  • Nurturing and replenishing
  • Enhances vibrancy and shine
  • Makes combing easy

Rosemary & Cedarwood Hair Treatment

My favourite from the range is an intense treatment for all hair types. Used either as a pre-wash conditioner, or left on for a deep conditioning overnight treatment, it restores shine, body, and vitality. The nourishing blend of organic coconut oil with the essential oils of organic rosemary, cedarwood, and lavender make it ideal to use on lackluster or coloured hair.

  • For all hair types
  • Intensive conditioning
  • Helps restore body and shine
  • Pre-wash or overnight treatment

How to use: 

When I first opened the jar I found 2 different ingredients oil and a white residue. Not sure if it was melted due to hot weather in Dubai but I mixed them well together and started applying on scalp as well ends.I perfectly massaged on my dry hair and left it for 30 minutes. You can even leave it on the entire night. The first time I added a bit more than what it should be as my hair was dry and falling but a small amount is enough.To remove from hair, thoroughly massage in shampoo, then rinse with warm water. Honestly from even the first application you will see a huge difference in terms of softness, shine and how easily you can comb your hair. I have been using it for a month now and I highly recommend and will definitely buy this product again.
