Innersense Organic Beauty: Smooth Embrace Body Lotion
I think that these guys really outdid themselves in the "subtle aromatherapy" department. Innersense Beauty's Smooth Embrace body lotion smells like jasmine and grapefruit, which together make a fascinating blend of tranquility, meditation, energy, and alertness; but it also contains extracts of plumeria, lemongrass, and various roses -- as well as the very rare, very beautiful, very exotic Lotus blossom. I have yet to find an affordable skin cream or lotion that contains real, honest lotus extract and oil. For those of you who have had the pleasure of smelling any of the pure lotus oils, this is a divine treat. The last time I inhaled lotus oil, it was a blend of blue lotus and white lotus, and I was almost in ecstasy for about an hour. It opened up my third eye and helped me meditate better.
The scent of lotus in this lotion is not really detectable, if at all -- you really need to sniff it out and concentrate. However, its effects are definitely there. I just massaged the lotion into my hands and smelled it, and I am at such peace. My mind is so calm and quiet -- and for a diagnosed epileptic with ADD, that's fantastic.
Not to mention that this lotion has all of my favorites: Sea buckthorn oil, Rooibos Tea, Olive oil, Cranberry oil, Echinacea, and Tamanu oil -- and tamanu is excellent for healing bruises and scars, and is a well-known topical pain reliever. I use it on my knees all the time.
As for the feel of the lotion, it is surprisingly light but unbelievably moisturizing. It absorbs very quickly and leaves an almost powdery feel once it dries. And the extremely subtle, quiet fragrance lingers like the barest hint of perfume, something you'd need to lean in close to detect.
Overall, I'd say it's an ideal lotion for those who want some psychic relaxation and stimulation with their smooth, soft skin.
