Winterize Your Skin

 As cold weather approaches we have to pay closer attention to our skin to keep it healthy and soft. Winter can result in many of us having dry, tight skin which becomes very itchy.  Here are some ways to winterize your skin:

1. Use a moisturizer that keeps your skin soft and supple and helps maintain the proper moisture balance.
2. Limit the time spent in hot water.  When showering use warm water and limit the time in shower to about 5-7 minutes.
3. Use a gentle cleanser that won't strip your skin of it's natural oils.
4. Use an oil bath as a way to soften skin on occasion.  Place a few drops of olive oil or other light oil in the bath tub for a brief soak.  
5. Drinking water is always vital for your skin.  Drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin.

Mineral Eyeshadows

 In case you haven't visited the website to see all of the goodies.  I'll give you a sneak peek into some of the goodies. 

The loose mineral eye shadows are vibrant, bold, and filled with color not fillers.  Without all of the fillers and chemicals mineral make-up is considered to be non-comedongenic so it won't clog you're pores like traditional oil and silicone based products.  Another benefit is they won't break the bank.

Product Testers Needed

Want to test natural hair and body products?  If the answer is yes, then Pura Body Naturals is searching for you.  We are searching for men, women, and children of all ages to test hair and body products to provide reviews and feedback.  

Who We Are?

Pura Body Naturals is a company that specializes in hand made natural body, hair, skin, and mineral make-up products.  We were birthed out of necessity since most of the commercial and hand made products today use the same ingredients that don’t work for everyone.  We searched the depths of the Amazon and Tropics to find products that are superior to shea butter, coconut oil, and the same old ingredients people tend to use without exploring other options.

Our Products:

Our products are not your ordinary, average products.   We use the best emollient rich, moisture enhancing ingredients and they’re natural as they come directly from fruits and nuts.  Yes shea butter may be good, but other butters are much better.  Some ingredients in our products are:

1. Murumuru Butter- which is the best emoillent nature has to offer.  It forms a moisture barrier on hair and skin to help retain moisture while giving hair flexibility and elasticity.
2. Cupuacu Butter - which helps water loss on the skin and hair due to its high phytosterol and triglyceride levels.  It has a tremendous capacity for water absorption and offers moisturizing benefits to restore natural elasticity and moisture to skin and hair.  
3. Brazil Nut Oil - Brazil nut oil is often found in high-quality shampoos and conditioning products. It is a wonderful hair conditioner; bringing shine, silkiness, malleability and softness. It helps renew dry, lifeless hair, split-ends and allows hair to remain very soft and healthy. It acts as a wonderful scalp and skin moisturizer. Brazil nut oil in skin creams helps keep skin soft and smooth. It helps lubricate and moisturize the skin, providing antioxidant benefits, helps prevents dryness and leaves skin soft, smooth and hydrated.
4. Babacu Oil - Babacu nut oil is used in exclusive high-end facial moisturizers as it has been prized in South America for its great moisturizing quality and beneficial effect on the skin and hair. Babacu nut is the third most important oil of palm in the world. Growing wild in Northeast Brazil, It’s a superior emollient, beneficial for both dry and oily complexions, gently moisturizing the skin without contributing to an oily sheen, often to treat eczema, itchy, dry and inflamed skin.
5. Sapote Oil - Sapote oil is extracted from the sapote fruit large glossy dark brown kernel and has a pleasant almond-like odor. This oil serves as a nice conditioning body oil and a great hair moisturizer. Studies have shown that sapote oil  helps to stop falling hair caused by seborrheic dermatitis. Sapote oil is a good source of nutrients such as, vitamins A and C, Calcium, Iron, Potassium and more. It is not known to many, but growing popular in hair dressing today.

Murumuru Moisture Milk Anyone?

Once again I'm blogging about Murumuru Butter because it's my favorite butter and I can't get enough.  I would walk to Brazil to get it if they couldn't send me anymore (Ok, I', exaggerating LOL), but it's just that amazing.  The butter can be used on hair and skin so it can serve a dual purpose for natural beauty.

For hair it provides softness, flexibility, and elasticity you won't believe.  If you're still suffering from dry, coarse hair this may be for you.  Murumuru butter along with other nourishing oils provides gloss to dry hair in addition to moisture all hair needs.

• Murumuru butter is obtained from the seeds of the Astrocaryum Murumuru tree which is native to Brazil.

• It is extremely high in vitamin A, making it a superb anti-oxidant.

• It is rich in oleic and linoleic acids which help create a permeable barrier to prevent water loss and give it excellent emollient properties for both skin and hair.

• Murumuru butter helps promote flexibility, hydration and provides gloss to the hair and is highly recommended for Afro-ethnic hair care.

 Cupuacu Hair Butter - Not Your Average Hair Butter

For years after making the switch to natural hair I struggled to find products that worked for my hair.  I used Shea Butter since most commercial products used them I figured it had to be a great butter.  Then I discovered the wonders of the Amazon. 

Cupuacu Butter - Comes from a fruit tree of the chocolate family, native to the northern Amazon.  Cupuacu improves the appearance prematurely aging and thinning skin while being a superior moisturizer with great water absorption. It offers high levels of essential fatty acids, which with its rich phytosterols, help the appearance of your skin’s elasticity and overall appearance of your skin. Cupuacu's high level of fatty essential acids gives it the ability to treat skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. 

Cupuacu promotes smoothness and softness to the hair increasing the natural moisture and elasticity.  The butter has proven to be beneficial for brittle, dry hair due to it's long lasting hydration properties to replenish moisture while promoting a healthy shine.  Cupuacu is considered hydrophpllic (water loving) with a high capacity to retain water and prevent moisture loss.
