Acai Health Watch

In keeping with our acai berry skin care theme of the last few days, we thought we’d show this lovely acai pomegranate soap.

The South of France French Milled traditional soap line is 100% vegetable based and contains soothing olive oil and moisturizing Shea butter in a long lasting 8.8 oz. bar. Infused with natural fragrances and essential oils, these rich lathering, cruelty-free bars are produced using a traditional recipe from Provence.

Soap Bar Acai Pomegranate 8.8 Oz

We love homemade facial treatments and this like a great acai recipe for your face.  We aren’t familiar with the brands in this article so if they aren’t available in your area, any type of freeze dried acai berries and type of honey or agave nectar should suffice.

We were delighted to hear from one of our favorite sites, Treehugger about Kiehl’s new acai beauty products.  The line includes a damage correcting moisturizer, repairing serum, toning mist and cleanser, all featuring the antioxidant power of acai.  This is exciting for such an established to offer this eco-certified line featuring acai.  Here’s an excerpt:

“Packed to the gunwales with wrinkle-zapping antioxidants, the oft-lauded Amazonian miracle berry is the star attraction of Kiehl’s upcoming Açai Damage-Repairing Skincare Collection, a quartet of age and environmental-stress busters due on counters in a couple of weeks.

The collection sets a litany of precedents for Kiehl’s: Not only is it the beauty brand’s first EcoCert-certified organic, 100 percent natural origin lineup, but it’s also the first to receive Cradle-to-Cradle Gold certification. “

Here’s how Kiehl’s describes it:

“This collection helps skin repair the visible effects of both physical and environmental damage, while helps to stimulate skin’s natural renewal process and restore skin’s tone, texture, and elasticity due to environmental oxidation, sun exposure and other external skin stressors.”
