Trading Chocolate For Neroli
As we approach Valentine’s Day, we thought it would be appropriate to talk about one of Shamanuti’s favorite ingredients (and known aphrodisiac) – Neroli.
Neroli is a rare and precious essential oil made from the flowers of the Bitter Orange Tree (Citrus Aurantium). Its exquisite aroma and oil has been used for centuries as an aid to soothe, relax and uplift the spirit, improve circulation, relieve muscle spasms and for its aphrodisiac properties. Historically, Victorian brides wore a sprig of neroli in their head dress and carried neroli in the bridal bouquet in an attempt to calm nerves and stimulate romance on the wedding night.
Neroli is a key ingredient in the luxurious recipe of Shamanuti’s beloved Crème No. 1. While this highly nourishing cream and moisturizer works at the cellular level to stimulate cell repair, block against environmental damage and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, it’s the soothing, calming, even mildly hypnotic effect that is experienced when using the product that keeps us wanting more.
In fact, the reputed aphrodisiac quality of Neroli stems not from a directly hormonal or stimulant effect, as with some oils, but rather from its ability to calm any nervous apprehension.
This year, we say forget the chocolate and indulge in our Crème No. 1. Your body and mind will thank you.
