WHY RE-VITALIZE SKIN CARE?

RE-VITALIZE IS LOCALLY SOURCED: All ingredients used to hand-make RE-VITALIZE products are sourced from Mt. Rose Herbs in Eugene, Oregon.  Mountain Rose curates a sustainably harvested, high-quality line of products that can be depended on for quality and respect for the planet and its indigenous peoples, cultures, plants, and magic.

Take a bit of VITALIZE home with you. Grab yourself a RE-VITALIZE product and turn this once-a-week time for yourself into a daily routine. Five minutes is enough time for a cup of herbal tea. Fifteen minutes is a good minimum time for a magnesium sits bath. So making time doesn’t have to be as big of a deal. In fact, Chinese medicine highly values daily activities that we do to care for ourselves, such as healthy eating, meditation, or exercise.

RE-VITALIZE IS LOCALLY OWNED: Acupuncturist, Herbalist, and clinic owner Sarah Carter L. Ac. is the owner of Vitalize - An Acupuncture + Wellness Clinic located in downtown Portland.  Sarah is also the owner and founder of RE-VITALIZE, a natural, respectful body care product line.

ALL RE-VITALIZE INGREDIENTS ARE NATURAL AND LISTED ON THE PACKAGE: We value transparency.  All ingredients are listed.

RE-VITALIZE PRODUCTS ARE ALL MADE IN SMALL-BATCHES: This is because high quality is important and small-batch controls for freshness.  No preservatives are needed.

RE-VITALIZE SALTS VS SUGARS: Salt baths detoxify and ground, while sugar scrubs exfoliate, nourish, and lock in hydration.

RE-VITALIZE + MCT OIL: coconut oil that has been fractionated is liquid at room temperature.  This is often used as a supplement, added to smoothies, etc.  It is great as a hydrating oil that is easy to absorb, nondrying, clear (allowing for botanical color to show), and light in weight, leaving the skin feeling clean and not oily.

RE-VITALIZE + CASTOR OIL: increases circulation, heavy oil that is great for decreasing puffiness, thickening, and deeply moisturizing.

RE-VITALIZE + JOJOBA OIL: This light amber-colored, sometimes yellow-colored oil is cleansing and hydrating, great for infusions, and easily takes on the scent and other attributes of dried plants, flowers, and spices.

LYE: is used in all RE-VITALIZE facial soaps in small quantities as a cleansing and thickening agent.  Botanical-infused oils, as well as essential oils, are also used, as is shea butter.

RE-VITALIZE LOOSE LEAF TEA: 1 Tbs loose tea, bring water to a boil, pour over loose tea and let steep for 2+minutes.  Use promptly for the freshest flavors.

RE-VITALIZE LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL: sourced from Golden Lotus Herbals in Beaverton, Oregon.  They also make the lung and throat drop that we carry at the clinic.  We asked permission to sell their lavenders under our brand.

RE-VITALIZE GOLDEN MILK: great for digestion, skin, inflammation, pain, joint inflammation, coffee replacement, or afternoon snack.  Add your favorite warm milk or milk substitute to 1Tbs of powder.  Sip and enjoy.  Be careful; this contains turmeric, which stains fabric.

CAUTION WEAR SUNSCREEN: this is VERY important, these products not only don’t protect in some cases, but some ingredients could increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun.
