Thailand, the ‘Land of the Free’ is a place known to behold the smallest and largest creatures. It is rich in various cultures and traditions evolving from Buddhism, Animism, and Westernization. Besides this, Thailand has unique beauty rituals that many of us may be unaware of. One of these is the Luk-Pra-Kob or Thai Medicinal Herbal massage which involves steamed compress of Thai herbs (lemongrass, ginger, prai, turmeric, tamarind, plai, zedoary and camphor) and a generous massage using native techniques with Lemongrass oil used to relax tense muscles and stimulate blood circulation.
The Global Beauty Secrets’ Thai Lemongrass Body Cleanser is an inspiration derived from this Thai wellness and healing ritual of Lu Pra Kob. It has been specially formulated with pure lemongrass essential oil especially sourced from Thailand.
Lemongrass as an ingredient is widely used by Thai women for its amazing skincare. It is an amazing exfoliating and detoxifying agent and is infused with antifungal and antibacterial properties. Its ability to constrict the blood vessels renders it as an excellent astringent. It not only tones the skin but also acts as a soothing agent for pores, thus cutting on those pesky pimples. Additionally, the cooling effect of Lemongrass makes it an excellent bathing ingredient to experience as it freshens the skin and leaves it supple, smooth and rejuvenated.
However it is not just this wisdom that we have borrowed from the Thais but also their beautiful symbolic culture.
The Kranok forms the centerpiece of our lemongrass tinted packaging, this motif is very crucial to the Thai culture and is featured extensively across all major landmarks, tripitikas, and temples. We believe that the Thai Lemongrass body cleanser enriched with the ingredients like the Mulberry extract and papaya, rich in antioxidants will surely help to achieve youthfully, wrinkle-free and moisturized skin – says, Aishwarya Sawarna Nir, Founder Global Beauty Secrets.
