Flower, fruit, leaf and root extracts used in Feel for This Products

Anti-Oxidants
Feel for This products all contain significant quantities of plant ingredients, naturally rich in skin-active antioxidants.

Beetroot
Benefits: Beetroot (Beta vulgaris) is a fantastic natural colour - as well as being a great vegetable to eat! Naturally sweet, with a vibrant purple-red colour. We have used beetroot powder instead of artificial colours, but don't worry - neither you nor your bath will come out looking purple!

Found in: Rosy Glow BathPod, Berry Bliss BathPod.

Black Rice
Benefits: Black Rice (Oryza sativa var Indica) is naturally black - like wild rice. The purple/black colour of the outer layer is packed full of flavonoid anti-oxidants which are skin-active antioxidants, fighting free radicals caused by pollution, sun and ageing damage. Rice generally is an ancient beauty secret, and black rice is even more effective. Rice also contains natural polysaccharides (sugars) which when dissolved will soothe your skin.

Found in: Black Rice Body Kit.

Cocoa Beans
Benefits: Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) is naturally high in antioxidants, which can help your skin combat pollutants, sun damage and ageing. The aroma of chocolate can help induce feel-good endorphins in the body. Skin-treatments have all the benefits and none of the calories of eating chocolate!

Found in: Chocolate Bathing Chunks.

Coffee Beans
Benefits: Although there are a large number of anti-oxidants in coffee (Coffea arabica), it is the caffeine content you benefit from in beauty products. There is strong evidence for many benefits from caffeine consumption including a reduced risk of Parkinson's disease. Caffeine increases the expression of dopamine receptors in the brain. Caffeine is also used in many anti-cellulite creams. The ¡Café Olé! BathPod contains 50mg of caffeine per bath - the same as a cup of strong coffee!

Cranberries
Benefits: Cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon) are full of natural anti-oxidants and fatty acids which help to fight the signs of ageing and the effects of pollution and sun damage.

Found in: Crushed Cranberry Face Mask, Cranberry Body Buff, Berry Bliss BathPod.

Ginger Root
Benefits: Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is an excellent root - especially when used in cooking. We have used ginger root powder for its aromatic properties: the essential oil is highly beneficial in combating depression and relieving pain. Ginger essential oil is sought after due to its aphrodisiac and stimulant properties. Uplifting in many ways!

Found in: Citrus Fling BathPod.

Grapes
Benefits: Grapes (Vitis vinifera) contain beneficial compounds called flavonoids, which give the vibrant purple color to grapes, grape juice and red wine; the stronger the colour, the higher the concentration of flavonoids. The main flavonoids are quercetin and resveratrol. These components are best consumed by eating black grapes or drinking black grape juice or red wine. BUT the anti-oxidants may also be skin-active.

Found in: Red Wine Bath Crystals.

Green Tea
Benefits: There is increasing hard evidence for the health benefits long associated with drinking green tea (Camellia sinensis) including a reduction in cancer and cholesterol. Not bad, considering it tastes great too! Green tea is rich in catechin polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants. Try our Jasmine & Green Tea bags today. Your body will benefit!

Hibiscus

Peppermint
Benefits: Peppermint tea (Mentha piperita) is high in anti-oxidants, great for the digestion and can promote good sleep. Peppermint is one of the most important flavours therapeutically.

Raintree
Benefits: Raintree (also known as Cupuaçu) (Theobroma grandiflorum) is a member of the chocolate family. The tree bears fruits that are about the size of a cantaloupe.

Also like chocolate, the Raintree has beneficial effects, containing a high level of polyphenol anti-oxidants.

Roses
Benefits: Roses have been used for their appearance, their scent, and their therapeutic properties from time immemorial. Rose fragrance has been scientifically shown in many studies to have sedative effects. Because of its excellent fragrance, it can also be regarded as an anti-depressant. Rose oil is an antiseptic, and this combined with its slightly tonic and soothing qualities and its action on the capillaries (increasing blood flow), make it useful for virtually all types of skin. It is particularly good for mature, dry or sensitive skin, and for any kind of redness or inflammation.
