Marmalade Dreams

The other day I came home from work and just could NOT wait to wash my face. How bizarre, right? I didnt want to get the mail or check my messages, or have a cup of tea. I got home, went straight to the bathroom, got my Sheer Goddess Marmalade Dreams Facial Cleanser and washed my face and instantly relaxed. Later on as I was doing some work in the kitchen, I got to wondering what it was about this product that made me feel so good and why my face feels so wonderful. I mean, I have more than a whole shelf full of skin care products, cleansers, toners, lotions, etc etc. Products from nice department stores, some from the grocery stores, some from popular catalogs. So, I pulled up a chair and I started to read the labels of all of these products I have and are now gathering dust since I started using the Marmalade Dreams. What I found was really amazing.

First, I know there is a HUGE vibrational difference between regular products and Sheer Goddess products. Each and every Sheer Goddess product is consecrated on the point of Erzulie Freda by our own beloved Mambo Sam.  But even before the consecration, Mambo Sam has made sure to choose the absolutely finest ingredients, observing fair trade philosophy and selecting organic ingredients whenever possible. What I am trying to say here, is that the good vibrations from these products start way back at the source of the ingredients, and the philosphy behind the products, and then are blanketed by the consecration.

Second, I noticed something very interesting. When I looked at the ingredient lists on the multitude of products I have on my shelf, almost every one of them listed water first. A few listed alcohol, then water. When I looked at the list of ingredients for the Sheer Goddess products, what did I see…..

ALOE!

The first ingredient in each and every Sheer Goddess product is aloe juice. Aloe has been known for years for its healing and nutruring properties.

Aloe Vera is well-known for soothing sunburned skin as well as healing dry skin. Along with caring for our skin, Aloe Vera has a wide variety of valuable uses from treating acne and PMS to treating stomachaches and ulcerations. Aloe Vera is one of the most famous and widely used herbs of all herbal remedies. It is also one of the oldest known herbs even being mentioned in the Bible.

Not only beneficial for soothing sunburned skin, Aloe vera is also used in the treatment of frostbite and different types of burns, including burns resulting from chemicals and radiation exposure. It has been used for thousands of years to treat wounds as well as for wound-cleaning and also has a pain-relieving effect when applied which is due to its content of magnesium and salicylic acid which promote an analgesic effect.

Because the plant was considered healing to the skin, Alexander the Great conquered the island Socotra, where aloe was first cultivated, in order to preserve a good source for treating his soldiers’ wounds.

Aloe vera is also used internally to treat ailments such as constipation, heartburn and inflammation of the esophagus. It is beneficial to the kidneys and is used to prevent the formation of kidney stones as well as reducing the size of existing stones.

High in Vitamin C and selenium, Aloe vera is considered to be an antioxidant, which is thought to protect the cells from damaging oxidation better known as free radical damage.

Awesome stuff, really, when you think about it. AND the first ingredient listed on all Sheer Goddess products. Only the best for your skin and your spirit!
