Elizabeth Reynolds Lux Aromatics

I love skincare. Probably even more than makeup. I have a strong belief that we need to prepare and nurture the skin and invest in high quality skincare before we invest in makeup. I have to constantly remind women of the importance of great skincare because in order for the makeup to glow, the skin must be in optimal shape. I have also found that in most parts of the world, women value the care of their skin and take great measures to repair and renew it. America, on the other hand has an obsession with cosmetics often times neglecting the skin or just using whatever is in the bathroom cabinet.

As soon as I saw Elizabeth Reynolds Lux Aromatics I knew I found a quality, luxurious line that was safe for the skin. I had the pleasure of testing some of these products: Skin Care Oil, Pumpkin Jasmine Serum, Facial Skin Nutrients,Palace Nights Rejuvenating Hand Cream and Immune Stimulant. The Skin Care Oil was my cleanser and literally melted the makeup off while gently cleansing my face. I alternated the facial oils, using the Facial Skin Nutrient for day time and the Pumpkin Jasmine Serum for evening. My skin has felt very soft and supple, which is a great benefit to aging skin! The Immune Stimulant also made a great antibacterial for the hands while we were on our trip, while the Palace Nights is the most decadent hand lotion ever! I am really excited to offer Elizabeths line at Belly Sprout and we are arranging her to teach classes as well. Please read about her passionate journey to creating a completely non-toxic skincare line that is both luxurious and high performing.

About Elizabeth Reynolds, founder of Elizabeth Reynolds Lux Aromatics:

As a Master Aromatherapist, I have spent more than 22 years researching and teaching about the healing properties of essential oils as well as formulating custom blends for clients in the US and Europe.  I’ve learned a tremendous amount about the complexities of essential oils and how they benefit us physically, emotionally and spiritually. The healing power of essential oils continues to amaze me as well as my clients. There are thousands of scientific studies showing the benefits of essential oils. I personally believe we are just now arriving at a time in our culture when we are beginning to acknowledge and appreciate the healing benefits of essential oils and I want to help that process along.

I am passionate about the purity of the ingredients we use, as well as the integrity of our company. This is manifested in our products. We are local, green, handcrafted, and non-toxic to the environment. We NEVER test on animals — willing friends and family only. Our line is 100% pure, active botanical extracts, and expertly formulated. Elizabeth Reynolds Lux Aromatics is a family owned and run business; I along with my two daughters do it all. We have extremely high standards for making the purest and most effective products possible. The enthusiasm, appreciation and repeat orders we receive from our clients let us know we’re doing it right.

We live in a world where the consumer is stuck between mass market, low quality production and advertising. Unfortunately, so-called natural aromatherapy products, including ones listing ‘essential oils’, are not exempt from big business getting in on the action and replacing quality ingredients with cheap, less effective, and sometimes toxic substitutes.  Many of these companies use synthetic fragrances that are manufactured to only imitate true essential oils. Even many small companies use essential oil derivations and water and glycerin as fillers because they are so inexpensive.  I firmly believe it is possible to provide consumers with products they need without sacrificing quality.

Elizabeth Reynolds Lux Aromatics products are liberating – a little goes a long way. One bottle of Luxury Skin Care Oil can be used to cleanse, moisturize, exfoliate, remove make-up, and shave. It heals and repairs the acid mantle of the skin, balances oil production and restores your skin to its youthful appearance. The effects compound over time, thus the more you use our Luxury Skin Care Oil, the healthier and more balanced your skin becomes. I help women get their skin off  “junk food” and onto a healthy diet of botanical oils containing vitamins, minerals, proteins, and essential fatty acids.  Our Facial Skin Food contains a soothing botanical Retin-A instead of the pharmaceutically, synthesized Retin-A that often irritates skin.  We’ve been taught to “over-cleanse” our skin. This approach compromises our skin’s normal function. Cleansing with oil makes sense when you think about it. It literally dissolves grime, make-up and excess sebum without ever stripping our skin’s protective barrier. It’s brilliant in it’s simplicity and ease. I am sure many of us can relate to applying drying chemicals to combat oily skin, then we need to slather on a moisturizer to soothe our now sensitive, dehydrated skin.  What our skin has been craving all along is the gentle nourishment that nature designed more expertly than science ever could.

I am passionate about wellness in all forms; spiritual, physical and emotional. I’ve spent decades researching and formulating therapeutic essential oil remedies, and holistic health care practices. My company is aligned with my commitment to integrity and health. The Lux part of my brand refers in part to luxury, but more important to me is it’s true meaning, a unit of illuminance, from Latin, literally Light. I love the idea that I am doing my part to bring Light and healing to the planet through the essential oils. I see myself as a steward for these botanical oils and the formulations.  Essential oils really have the power to transform.
