Begin your day with the cool grace of Beatrice...

Beatrice creams are laced with their own unique blend of essential oils. These oils not only give the creams their signature scents, but also offer healing and therapeutic qualities.

Let’s look at the day cream…  a combination of rose geranium, cypress and frankincense oils.

Rose Geranium is grown for its beauty, and that is exactly what it does to our skin- it beautifies. Our skin becomes clear and vibrant, and has that healthy glow that we all long for.

This is no new discovery, the Egyptians commonly used rose geranium oil to promote beautiful and radiant skin.

Its astringent qualities reduce wrinkles and sagging skin. It increases blood circulation right below the surface of the skin, which helps to heal skin damaged by the sun, by rashes, or acne. It also helps to reduce inflammation, as well as alleviating anxiety and balancing hormones. And on top of all of that, who doesn’t love the sweet floral fragrance - it’s a staple in the perfume industry! 

Cypress oil has a clean and fresh aroma. It is a base note, so it is earthy, anchoring the other essential oils in the daycream.  Cypress has antiseptic, and antibacterial properties keeping our skin from becoming congested. The antiseptic qualities in cypress oil are due to the presence of camphene, meaning it’s a gem at keeping our skin clean. Cypress oil contains monoterpenes, making it very beneficial for oily skin conditions.

Cypress oil has a grounding, yet stimulating effect on the emotions, it lifts the spirits!

And lucky last is Frankincense oil, which is often referred to as the ‘king of essential oils’ and boy, is it ever. In Christianity it was one of the first gifts given to Jesus by the  three wise men. Its healing qualities are endless, and only a miniscule amount is needed. Where do I start?... it can help relieve stress and anxiety, support healthy cellular function, reduce pain and inflammation, boost immunity, and improve circulation.. The list just goes on... it helps prevent signs of aging, tones and heals the skin, improves elasticity, has astringent properties, and balances hormone levels. 

Frankincense inspires feelings of peace, relaxation, satisfaction, and overall wellness.

After years of experimentation in search of a distinct, yet subtle fragrance that acts as a double agent; providing therapeutic actions, our herbalist, Donna finally fashioned the perfect combination of rose geranium, cypress and frankincense oils.

The pure splendour of Beatrice

If I could choose just one product to use on my face, without a doubt, it would be witch hazel – its truly magical. I’ve been using Beatrice Toner for years - a carefully crafted combination of witch hazel and rose water. I love the whole experience; the freshness, the aroma, even the noise as you spray it, and of course, the effect it has on my skin! It makes me feel crisp and clean, alive, both tightening and moisturizing. So how does it do it?

Witch hazel is a plant that is native in North America and parts of Asia, which has naturally strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and astringent properties. This means it has the ability to kill bacteria that lives within the skin’s pores, reduce cellular damage, speed up healing, and prevent signs of ageing. It removes excess oil and toxins from the skin, and closes pores.  Its great for people that suffer from acne.

Rose water, like witch hazel, is suited to all skin types; oily, dry, or a combination. Apart from adding a soft, calming fragrance to the toner (the aroma itself is said to reduce stress and anxiety), rose water has a few healing qualities of its own. It helps maintain the skins ph balance, has anti-inflammatory qualities, removes excess oil and dirt in clogged pores, hydrates and revitalizes, is anti-bacterial (helps heal wounds) and is said to keep wrinkles at bay.

Combining these two magical ingredients, Beatrice toner will leave you with radiant and glowing skin. 

Secretly, I love a spritz of toner on my face during the warm months purely to cool me down. I spent a little time working in the shearing sheds, quite literally ‘out the back o’ Bourke’, and would spray on Beatrice toner religiously throughout the night to keep me cool & refreshed in the 45 degree temperatures – with no air conditioner! You’d hear my little spray bottle going all night. My skin felt great - I even had a few shearers using it; the toner would get handed around after a hard day’s work. We all had glowing skin!
