Spring has Sprung, or Why you need After-Bath Oil Spray

May 11th and high in the 90s with 70% humidity. Aaaah, Spring in Austin. Aaaaa, air conditioning.


Sitting in the AC all day and/or night can dry out your skin just as much as sitting in the sun. Violet Crown's After Bath Oil Spray is a wonderful way to give your skin some much-needed moisture. Spray it on after you get out of the shower or bath, before you towel off, and pat it in.


It's made with Liquid Shea, Passionfruit, Kukui Nut, and Coconut oils in a cyclomethicone base. You're probably familiar with Shea Butter and Coconut oil. You can read about them on our website under the Ingredients link. But I'd like to tell you a little about the more exotic sounding oils, and about cyclomethicone.


Hawaiians have been using Kukui Nut Oil for hundreds of years. It contains very high levels of linoleic and alpha-linolenic essential fatty acids. This oil is readily absorbed into the skin and provides important essential elements. It's particularly good for use after sun exposure, as well as for dry skin.


Passionfruit Oil is renowned for its soothing properties. It is emollient and rich in vitamin C. Passionfruit oil contains high levels of linoleic acid, which nourisht and moisturize your skin.


Cyclomethicone is an unmodified silicone that stays on or near the surface of the skin. The molecules are too big to enter past the upper living cells. Instead, they associate with the upper layer of drying skin. They evaporate quickly after helping to carry oils into the top layer of epidermis. From there, the oils may be absorbed by the skin. Cyclomethicone is non-toxic, does not stain and is not harmful to humans or the environment. I promise - I wouldn't put it in Violet Crown products - the same products that my family and I use - if it were.


After-Bath Oil spray is available in several fragrances, scented with either essential oils or fragrance oil. Visit the Violet Crown Soap Company website and see what's on the menu today. If you don't see your favorite scent, let me know - this spray is easy to customize.


Do your skin a favor - try some. Warning - once you try it, you won't want to be without it. Honest.
