Which NECTAR to choose? All six, of course!

Preview Essential Oil Profiles and MONSOON NECTAR chart to learn about the benefits and physical properties of the essential oils used in each NECTAR. 

The time of day, what season you are in, and what is going on with you physically and emotionally will determine which NECTAR will suit your needs. 

Aromatherapy will guide you in choosing the essence for your mood, but it is ideal to have all six NECTARS, and use them interchangeably.

Choose a NECTAR to impart a warming or cooling sensation on the skin, a more energizing or calming effect, or for a specific application of therapeutic oils for specific results.

VIBRANT RENEWAL

Monsoon season is a time of vibrant renewal, and is the inspiration behind HIGH DESERT DEFENSE NECTAR. A natural anti-oxidant moisturizer to be used all over your body, face, and as a conditioner for your scalp and hair.

The NECTARS are inspired by the monsoon season regionally specific to the Southwest United States and dependent upon the winds coming up from Mexico. Spanish names for the NECTARS were inspired by the elements: sun, waterfall, cloud, river, and garden. And all essential oils date back to ancient Egypt.

For both men and women, High Desert Defense Nectar is a natural healthy approach to moisturizing your skin and hair. A powerful formula enriched with therapeutic botanicals and antioxidant vitamins e, c, and beta carotene, omega 3, 6, 9, ester-c and alpha lipoic acid. Liposomes restore moisture and penetrate these regenerative nutrients deep into the cellular level. Repair and diminish early signs of aging due to free radical damage, dehydration and environmental stress. Formulated synergistically to create a natural antibacterial preservative. No synthetic ingredients or fragrances. Not tested on animals. 

All of the nectars have the same carrier base and are differentiated by the essential oils used. (See essential oil profiles for their individual properties.)

Carrier Ingredients: 100% pure essential oil in a carrier of vitis vinifera (grapeseed oil), cocos nucifera (fractionated coconut oil), tocopherol (vitamin e), phospholipids (lecithin), ester c, and alpha lipoic acid.

SOL: tangerine, palmarosa and peppermint

CASCADA: cedarwood atlas, ylang-ylang, litsea-may chang, caraway seed, naiouli and clove bud

NUBE: eucalyptus, lemon, sage and yuzu
 
RIO: lavender, ravensara, cedarwood virginian and clove bud
 
JARDIN: ylang-ylang, jasmine absolute and thyme serpolet

Suggested uses: Incorporate into your daily hygiene to maintain radiant, youthful skin and hair. Aromatherapy is the initial experience but the nourishing qualities linger. Nectar penetrates the skin through heat and moisture and is most effective when applied after bathing.

Moisturize: Slather nectar all over for a deep treatment, or apply to hands and rub onto forearms. Use hands and forearms to apply to legs and then the front and back body. Give yourself a big hug to cover the upper arms and shoulders. Residual amount on hands can be applied to face and hair. After distributing over your whole body, go back and rub it in! This less-than-one minute sequence maximizes the longevity of the product and allows the nectar to absorb evenly into the skin creating a velvety protective barrier. Skin should not feel oily unless too much has been applied.

Scalp/hair treatment: The scalp is an extension of your complexion and should be treated as such. Nourish and detoxify by massaging into scalp after cleansing hair. Comb through and leave on for 5 minutes; shampoo again. For coarse or curly hair try as a leave-in conditioner.

Shave: Use the nectar with a razor while shaving for a velvety touch.

How does it work?

Physiologically, skin care begins with the ACID MANTLE- predominantly composed of sebum; it is our natural defense barrier on our skin’s surface. Every time you bathe you must replenish and restore the acid mantle of your skin after cleansing.

The largest organ of the human body, the skin, is permeable and able to absorb what is applied to its surface. Therefore, it is better to use natural body products that are beneficial for good health and hygiene.

Logically, your skin prefers something that is similar to what it can manufacture on it’s own, which is an oil. High Desert Defense Nectar is formulated with the highest quality ESSENTIAL OILS, ANTI-OXIDANTS, and CARRIER OILS.

High Desert Defense Nectar is aptly named because it does not feel like an oil on the skin but rather something completely different. VELVETY.

Synergistically formulated with anti-oxidants VITAMIN E, ALPHA LIPOIC ACID,  ESTER C, and ESSENTIAL OILS, the NECTAR becomes a natural antibacterial and anti-fungal preservative that guards against rancidity. This synergy is a powerhouse against free radical damage which is directly related to aging. While neutralizing free radicals, the NECTAR also promotes healing and reduces scars, preserving the skin’s collagen, protecting against skin cancer, reducing roughness, cracking, and irritation.

LIPOSOMES drive this nutrient rich NECTAR into the cellular level while restoring and moisturizing the skin. The Nectar’s molecular weight is compatible with the cells of our skin. That is why it is able to penetrate the skin deeply. You can feel it penetrating and assimilating into your cells, completely absorbing, yet at the same time creating a barrier against further drying. 
 
In addition, the Nectars are resistant to bacteria because they do not contain water. A treatment pump allows you to dispense the Nectar without having to open the bottle and expose the product to air which initiates the oxidizing process. You never dip your finger into the Nectar which invariably causes contamination.

It is important to understand that medicine originated from herbs which is where essential oils come from. It only makes sense to use essential oils which are natural and therapeutic on the skin. The NECTARS contain properties and aromas (AROMATHERAPY) specific for treating different ailments on many different levels of a person’s well being, physically and emotionally.

Fragrance vs. Aroma

The word “fragrance” on an ingredients list is used as a collective term for myriad of synthetic chemicals. Natural aromas are indicated by the use of  “100% pure essential oils” and have the qualities of aromatherapy.

Today many people have become chemically sensitive due to the use of fragrances in personal care products as well as household cleaners, air fresheners, laundry products, and pollution in general.

The Green Movement has addressed these chemicals in our environment by promoting natural products and a non-toxic lifestyle for better health for people and the planet.

Effective skin care

High Desert Defense Nectar works instantly and the anti-aging effects are cumulative with consistent use.

Effective skin care does not have to be unaffordable. Compared to most other cosmeceutical grade products the Nectars are less expensive and do not contain carcinogenic ingredients.

Your skin will glow from the moisture, nourishment, and repair that the Nectars provide while aromatherapy stimulates your senses.

High Desert Defense Nectar is not tested on animals, is packaged in recyclable containers, and the ingredients are produced without harm to the environment.

To ensure the potency, keep the NECTAR out of direct sunlight and in a cool place.
