Agafia’s Bath is a cosmetic line produced by Pervoe Reshenie (First Solution), a Russian beauty brand known for its natural and organic cosmetics based on natural ingredients. It is specifically designed for use in a steam room. One of the most popular products in the line is Bitter Orange Thick Body Butter that makes the skin soft and silky smooth.
Agafia’s Bath body butter is suitable for all skin types, but it is especially great for dry skin. Its key ingredients are bitter orange essential oil, lavender wax and organic sea buckthorn oil. They provide the skin with the nutrients and moisture it needs and help to keep it hydrated. These ingredients also produce a slight lifting and anticellulite effect, as well as help to prevent premature skin ageing.
Sea buckthorn oil has long been used in traditional medicine to treat various skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, as well as to accelerate the healing of minor injuries, primarily burns. As it may stain skin because of its high content of carotenoids (yellow pigments), sea buckthorn oil is mostly added to various skincare products rather than used in pure form.
Sea buckthorn oil is extracted from either the seeds or the pulp of the fruit of sea buckthorn. It is rich in essential fatty acids (few other vegetable oils contain a similar quantity of palmitoleic acid and palmitic acid), tocopherols and tocotrienols (vitamin E), carotenoids, and plant sterols. Sea buckthorn oil helps to keep the skin nourished and hydrated, prevents premature skin ageing due to the antioxidant properties of vitamin E, and makes the skin noticeably softer.
Another natural ingredient contained in Agafia’s Bath Thick Body Butter is floral wax. Floral waxes are by-products created during the manufacture of essential oils and absolutes. Floral wax retains many of the characteristics of the plant it was extracted from, along with its scent. That’s why floral waxes are mainly used as natural fragrances, but this is not their only application.
Bitter Orange Thick Body Butter by Agafia’s Bath is formulated with lavender wax. Lavender is known for its soothing and healing properties. Floral wax derived from this plant relieves irritated skin, produces an anti-inflammatory effect, and accelerates the healing of minor skin injuries. Besides, lavender wax is a natural UV filter that helps to protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays. However, you need to keep in mind that this body butter can’t replace sunscreen.
Finally, the last but not the least important ingredient in the body butter is bitter orange oil. Bitter orange, also known as Seville orange, is a hybrid between mandarin and pomelo. It is a source of three types of essential oil. Petitgrain oil is extracted from the leaves and green twigs of the bitter orange tree, neroli oil is produced from the flowers, and bitter orange oil is expressed from the rind of the ripe fruit.
Bitter orange essential oil is known for its strong anticellulite effect. It helps to get rid of toxins and excess moisture, makes the skin smoother, improves skin elasticity and body contour, and produces a rejuvenating effect. Besides, it has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties like all essential oils.
Bitter Orange Thick Body Butter by Agafia’s Bath has a light, floral scent and a rather thick texture. Despite this, it spreads easily over the skin, absorbs well and doesn’t leave your skin feeling sticky or greasy. The product doesn’t stain clothes and doesn’t clog pores. It is free of parabens and other potentially harmful synthetic ingredients.
Although Agafia’s Bath products are most effective when used in a steam room, you can simply include them in your daily skincare routine. Use the butter every time after a shower or a bath to keep your skin hydrated and make it soft and velvety smooth.
