How to use --- DISCOVERY + GIFT SET

Idan Oil:

This natural product will solidify in cooler temperatures. Opt out of being busy for a while whilst you wait for it to melt.

Place under warm/hot running water or in your shower until it returns to liquid. 
After bathing or showering apply to damp skin, massaging all over the body to leave a glowing silky finish.

We love to use this for absolutely everything from leave-in hair conditioner to body oil, or if we are feeling really indulgent, slathering it head to toe before bed and rinsing off in the morning for truly silky fragranced skin. Some customers have even been known to decant it and use as a solid perfume. Let us know what new uses you discover.

Raw Ivory Shea Butter:

Suggested use: All you need is a small amount, let it melt between your hands and apply everywhere - body, face, feet, and hands.

Face: Raw Shea butter is rich so use it on dry patches on your face or has a 10-15mins face mask or a DIY overnight mask depending on your skin type.  Use to treat chapped lips and an aftersun treatment. 

Body: All over body butter - great for really dry areas especially hands, feet, elbow.  Has been known to help skin conditions like eczema. Also, use it as a base to make your own creations.

Baby: Made from one natural vegan ingredient so it’s great for babies and kids. 100% safe. Use for nappy rash, moisturiser, belly balm.

Liha's Tip:

Layer on after your Idan oil ritual on extra dry areas like bottom of feet, knees and elbows and massage into cuticles before bed. A wonderful barrier cream for extreme sports lovers perfect for being out in the elements to protect against cold weather and winds from hiking, skiing or sailing!

Ose Gidi Soap:

Suitable for daily use on body, twice weekly as a facial exfoliant.

Liha's Tip:

Team the soap with the Idan oil in the morning for a super refreshing and calming start to the day. Make your shower a little manifestation station by washing with soap all over and imagining all negative emotions disappearing down the drain with the water. Emerge feeling cleansed, burn some incense (or our candle) and give yourself a massage all over with Idan oil after air drying. Repeat positive manifestations or journal to get your day started right!

Queen Idia Candle:

The burn time for the 90g is 15 hours and the 220g is approximately 40 hours.

Liha's Tip:

Try flame gazing if you find you are too restless for straightforward silent meditation. Play some high vibrational music or frequencies (852 hz is a personal fave, look on youtube). Sit comfortably, light the candle and take some deep breaths. Focus all your attention on the flame moving and your breath. When you become distracted just watch the flame, and watch your thoughts go by with it. Distance yourself from ‘monkey mind’ and come back to the present.
