Native American Summer Skincare

How Did Ancient North American Peoples
Protect Their Skin From Sun Damage

We all love the sunshine, but the intense rays, salty sea breezes, and chlorinated pool water can take a toll on our delicate skin, leading to dryness, sunburn, and even premature aging.

4,500 years ago, Native American Tribes Used Sunflower Oil

They took advantage of its nutritional benefits and its healing properties. They learned that applying sunflower oil to their skin helped protect against the harsh elements, from the intense sun to the dry winds of the plains. The oil's high content of Vitamin E and essential fatty acids provided a natural barrier, keeping their skin hydrated and resilient.

Embrace Summer with Akasha Beauty Oil

In today's world, we can take a leaf out of these ancient books and apply similar wisdom to our summer skincare routines. Akasha Beauty Oil, enriched with sunflower oil and lavender, is your perfect companion for the sunny months ahead.

Why Akasha Beauty Oil is Essential for Summer:

Sunflower oil’s deep hydrating properties are crucial during summer when skin can lose moisture quickly. Rich in linoleic acid, sunflower oil locks in hydration, keeping your skin plump and nourished just like it did for Native American warriors prepared for the sun’s relentless exposure.

Lavender oil in our blend isn't just calming to the senses; it's also a powerful anti-inflammatory agent used historically in Mediterranean regions. It helped to soothe sunburns and repair skin damage caused by UV rays—a benefit we still need today!

How to Use Akasha Beauty Oil This Summer

Morning Ritual: Start your day by applying a small amount of Akasha Beauty Oil after your shower. It absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy residue—just soft, hydrated skin ready to face the day, whether you're hitting the beach or running errands.

Evening Care: After a day in the sun, treat your skin by gently massaging in our oil. Let the relaxing aroma of lavender work its magic as you unwind, and allow your skin to repair overnight, just as ancient cultures did after a long day under the sun.

Don’t let the summer sun dull your glow. Embrace these timeless rituals with modern benefits, and keep your skin healthy and radiant all season long.
