Last week at A Night For Green Beauty, I met Jessica Richards, owner of Shen Beauty Brooklyn.  She saw that I was pregnant and immediately grabbed me and taught me all about Annee de Mamiel’s new line of products. It does not get more Clean, Green, or Holistic than this, people.  Annee holds degrees in anatomy physiology, acupuncture, Chinese medicine and aromatherapy.  No fluff here.

One of my favorite products is the Altitude Oil.  Knowing I was going to get on a flight home soon, I quickly snapped this up!  Several essential oils that have antibacterial, antiviral and antiseptic properties are hand mixed into a jojoba oil base.  The result is delicious smelling, sinus clearing magic that supports and protects the immune system while coaxing you into a calmer, happier state of mind.  A clear winner – pun intended.  Cost: about $37.  Purchase it here.

Directions: Put a drop under each nostril or a few drops on a tissue and inhale deeply several times.  Great for stuffy environments, public transportation, and when you feel like you are getting sick, or are sick!

Ingredients: Lavender (Lavandula augustifolia)* Antiseptic, antiviral, soothing, calming and helps release stress and tension.  Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus radiata)* Antibacterial, anti viral, decongestant. Helps to clear the head.  Fragonia^(TM) (Agonis fragrans) From western Australia, this precious oil contains anti-infectious and antibacterial properties and supports a healthy immune system It is a floral tea tree oil which packs a punch but the smell really softens the blend.  Peppermint (Mentha x piperita)* Refreshing, cleansing, antiviral and antiseptic oil.  Pine (Pinus sylvestris)* Antiviral, antiseptic, helps to clear the sinuses.  Lemon Myrtle (Backhousia citriodora)* Helps to kill bacteria, whilst also providing a mentally uplifting effect.  Patchouli (Pogostemom cablin)* Antiseptic, grounding and balancing.  Jojoba – As a base oil it is one that has great affinity for the skin, antibacterial.
