Harvesting fresh ingredients on a weekly basis, local business owners Calisle Siedenburg and Bale-Shabaka Kaza- Amlak have recently launched their new Renuatum Naturals line of handmade organic cosmetic and healing products available at Renuatum Spa's new Christiansted location at Kalima Center on King Street and island wide to select retailers.
Utilizing local plants like Hibiscus, Aloe, Noni and Coconut,the products are definitely tantalizing. The Hibiscus Honey Exfoliant, for instance, with its bright red color, looks good enough to eat! The addition of pink Himalayan sea salt adds a memorable energetic charge on the skin!
The Noni plant, aka the "Painkiller," has remarkable results in Renuatum's Noni Rub and Noni Oil, aiding in everything from sun burns, insect bites, aches and pains to broken bones.One product that flies off the shelves is Rosehip and Collagen Face Oil with anti-aging, moisturizing, sun damage and scarring reversal, and acne treatment "all in one" for multi-generational appeal. It's absolutely magical, producing that glow that we all want!
Renuatum's aim, with this new line, is to provide a safe and effective alternative to the conventional 'natural products' on the market. "We use no artificial ingredients, fillers, or petro-chemicals, let alone false or misleading advertisments - what you see is what you get."
The importance of using natural, organic, and chemical-free products is paramount to living a healthy and sustainable life. To explain this - when eating, food is processed throughout a network of filters within the digestive system but when products are applied to the skin they are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, without filtration.
Many people are intrigued with the word, Re-Nu-Atum, pronounced ray-nu-atoom. Renuatum was a prince and alchemist who lived in the Ptolemaic period of ancient Egypt (3rd Century b.c) and was revered for his knowledge of plant alchemyand the combined chemical-electrical force of the pyramids. His name, he would often say, was the basis for all life - Re, the God of the Sun: Nu, the God of the Primodial Ocean, and Atum, the God of the Primordial Hill. The use of these elements is part of the concept embraced by Renuatum Spa and their products helping to interpret our unique balance within nature.Through the practice of Ayurveda, (an ancient healing system known as the "science of life"), they work with clients through consultations and educational programs to discover, uncover, and maintain sustained radiance in everyday living. With dietary awareness, herbal knowledge, detox benefits, body and skin care, and energetic healing, clients gain radiant and glowing skin plus the inner energy to support renewal and rejuvenation long term.
Renuatum Spa at Kalima Center will continue to offer massage, facial treatments, and life coaching along with Sauna and Wellness Retreats. Raw Meals are provided by Lalita and incorporated with hotel stays at the Club Comanche.
