Pitta Pacifier
In a state of high Pitta, stressed minds and bodies may be overactive and agitated, and will benefit from soothing, cooling and calming. Exotic ESPA body oils, Bhringaraj herbal concentrate and restorative plant extracts such as Palmarosa and Myrrh bring calm to agitated minds, reduce muscular tension, and cool and soothe the skin.

Kapha Stimulator
In a state of Kapha the skin may be dull or oily; there is a tendency towards puffiness and weight gain, and a negative reaction to humidity and damp. Balance is retrieved through purifications and stimulation to improve energising circulation of the body. ESPA detoxifying body oils are blended with Ashwaganda, an Indian herbal concentrate, and marine algae to clarify the skin, stimulate the circulation and mind, and warm the body.

Vata Comforter
Dry skin, anxiety, hyper-activity and coldness are present when Vata is out of balance. The Vata personality seeks warmth, nourishment, hydration, comfort and healing. Oshadi clay, marine muds and warming oils are blended with Brahmi, a concentrate of ancient Indian herbs, to restore balance to the rational mind, peace to chronically stressed bodies and comfort to the skin.
