One of the pleasure we have in
working in the skincare and spa industry is trying new products.
We had the pleasure of trying skincare and body care from
360° Skin Care,
products formulated with naturally derived ingredients and "...crammed full
of Antioxidants, Botanical Extracts, Fruit Extracts, and Vitamins."
All of 360's skincare is
developed to be non-irritating and gentle on delicate facial tissue, and for
all skin types.
360 formulates a Four Step
Facial Care regimen which includes cleanser, toner, facial scrub, and
moisturizer. The complexions for our staff run the gamut from Rosacea
to Acne to Sensitive/Mature skin -- we each tried the Lavender Mint
Facial Scrub and unanimously loved it. This lightly scented and
whipped texture exfoliant is chock full of Microdermabrasion crystals and
jojoba beads, but doesn't feel over harsh. The Facial Scrub
contains jojoba seed oil, avocado oil, shea butter, honey, chamomile
extract, calendula extract, bilberry extract, and more. Gentle enough to use
2-3 per week, but strong enough to do the job -- this is a product we'll use
again (2 oz $25, available in LavenderMint or Unscented).
The complete line of 360 Skincare
incorporates vitamin-rich ingredients like Avocado and Carrot Seed oil,
imported clays from France and Morocco, natural plant extracts of Chamomile,
Calendula & Lavender, a blend of five fruits extracts to gentle buff away
dead skin, conditioning Silk Proteins and anti-oxidants such as Green Tea
and White Peony Tea to fight against free radicals which can damage the
skin.
We also tried several body
care products, including 360's best selling
Caribbean Madness Body Mousse,
a light and fluffy emulsion but
rich in Virgin Coconut Oil, Cocoa Butter, Olive Oil, Vitamin E, and Honey.
We loved it for the rich and emollient feeling
and for that reason it was bound to be a favorite as well, however, the
product didn't last a day in our offices before the daughter of one of staff
members fell in love with the vibrant tropical
fruit scent of mango, papaya, pineapple, peach, lemon, and orange with a
light sweet vanilla background,
and declared it vital for her pre-prom preparation (4 oz $17, available in
Exotic
Breeze, Lavender, Oasis, Paradise, Sunshine, Caribbean Madness).
Additional collections
include the vinotherapy inspired "Wine Therapy Collection" (body
wash, body scrub, body mousse and body lotion), each fortified with the
antioxidant rich grape seed extract from Burgundy, France, and the "Spa
Therapy Collection" including the Bath Collection and Foot
Therapy collection -- foot soak, lotion, cream, and scrub.
360's signature scents are described below.
360 Skin Care's
creator, Yahmika Fenner, tells us "We recognize there are many products
on the market that smell good, but we believe that products should not only
smell good but be good for you. For this reason, we strive to preserve an
exceptionally high standard for quality control. We manufacture all of our
skin care treatments in small batches to ensure freshness and preserve
product integrity. We are strictly against animal testing, our
products are cruelty free and our raw ingredients are responsibly sourced.
Also, we use recyclable packaging -- all of our boxes, bottles, pumps,
and caps are 100% recyclable."
