Listen up ladies, your insider beauty expert has tried and tested another gem for you.
Bang on the trend of Ritual-inspired beauty comes a range of Quench oils which take the home spa concept to new levels and draw from Polynesian mystic tradition.
The range of five gorgeous oils are made using Monoi de Tahiti, a purified concentrate coconut oil gathered from Polynesian coconuts which is solid in form and liquifies with warmth of hands. The ritual in the production of the oils themselves is incredible- the barrels of oil are left open to the elements with the indigeous tiare flower for a minimjm of three months.
The light of the moon is thought to intensify the properties of the Monoi oil, before the addition of the essential oils create each variant with indivudual properties. Designed to nourish, restore and revive the soul the range of Quench oils includes Farenheit, Breeze, Aqua, Rock and the delicious Chocolate Cherry. Here is the skinny on the gorgeousness:
Fahrenheit
Warming, comforting, sensual and exotic, this oil combines cinnamon and orange along with pure Monoi to offer an intoxicating aroma, reminiscent of cosy winter evenings and log fires. Ideal for those who suffer from poor circulation and who feel frail and / or vulnerable and those of a nervous disposition. Representative of the Fire element in ancient Hawaiian scriptures.
Breeze
Light, subtle and uncomplicated. A blend of pure Monoi with grade A Gardenia extract to provide a fresh light fragrance, that sits lightly on and caresses the skin. Ideal for those who feel overwhelmed and run down and who need a lift of their spirits. Representative of the Air element in ancient Hawaiian scriptures.
Aqua
Mandarin, Lime, Rosemary and Basil combine with pure Monoi to create an oil that lingers lightly on the skin and is refreshing, awakening the senses, stimulating and energising. Ideal for those who feel lethargic, tired and stressed. This oil helps clarity of thought and expression and adds zing and zest throughout the day as it gently gives off citrus and herbal notes. Representative of the water element in ancient Hawaiian scriptures.
Rock
Pure Monoi blended with exotic and indulgent earthy sandalwood, spicy ginger and the grounded notes of Eucalyptus and Pine. Woody, spicy, exotic and totally grounding. This oil is ideal for those who need to be more grounded and who have a tendency to dream and wander. Great for those who need to tackle things head on, and need to concentrate. Representative of the Earth element in ancient Hawaiian scriptures.
Chocolate Cherry
A quality oil that offers the beneficial anti-ageing properties of pure cocoa, with the exotic and therapeutic properties of heady and evocative, sensual rich black cherries. Quench chocolate cherry oil releases feel good endorphins from the brain with every inhalation. Lift the spirits, the mood and clam. The oil that keeps on giving. Quality chocolate contains potent anti-ageing anti-oxidants as well as over 500 trace elements, to feed and condition the skin. Black cherries provide an additional cocktail of potent anti-oxidants and health giving compounds. This combination is powerful and rewarding. Ideal for dry and devitalised and even flaky skin.

We tried the Aqua Quench, and having used it on my hair and skin I have honestly fallen in love with this stuff.
Rub it in, bathe in it, wear on pulse points for a fabulous fragrance or inhale to lift the spirits. Just get some, it rocks.
