MY EXPERIENCE AT YSABEL'S DAUGHTER WELLNESS WEEKEND
Last June 25, I was cordially invited for a Wellness Weekend by Ysabel's Daughter. A brand that is proudly made in the Philippines that promotes wellness and celebrates nature by creating their products 100% organic and synthetic-free. It is my first time to try out this brand and I am really excited!
This event is the perfect chance for me to know about Ysabel's Daughter Bath and Body Products. I will be able to know their history, goals and what it latest that they offer. At this time, their new products are the face and body mist as well as a new line of bar soaps.
I had fun checking out all the products that they offer. I love aromatic bath essentials and organic products and Ysabel's Daughter's caters both of my reason in choosing what products to use.
They have a lot to offer from shampoos, conditioner, lotions, bar soaps, body wash and now they extended to a face/body mist.
From the owner, Ms. Coty Cruz, she personally shared with us the story of Ysabel's Daughter on how it started. Basically, the main reason that she chose to keep synthetic chemicals off her bath and body products is because it turns her off as she knows it can cause adverse reactions with its toxic ingredients.
She quoted that just because something is applied on the skin, it does not mean that it does not get into the body's system. She has a lot of good point, right? There are a lot of ingredients in skin and household products that can affect hormones, can cause allergic reactions and worst case scenario, it can lead to cancer.
By using a synthetic-filled product can affect us in a harmful way so why do we need to continue using it? Since Ms. Coty Cruz kept asking herself about this, it led her to create the Ysabel's Daughter Bath and Body.
Ysabel is a real person and she is Ms. Coty Cruz's mother. She dedicated her products to her mother and named the brand after her. Unfortunately, Ms. Ysabel is not present in the event because she lives a little far from the area, I would love to meet her too.
Ysabel's Daughter believes that every clients has the right to know on what is inside the product that they buy and use and they are transparent and honest in the products that they produce.
One of their main ingredients is the use pf honey that is produced from their own backyard. Honey has a natural antibacterial and healing properties and it is known even during the ancient times. It is famously used to treat soldiers' wounds. Besides its antibacterial properties, the honey also has the ability to moisturize, soothe the skin, protect it from skin damage.
I am amazed that they have their own backyard bee colony.
The event is not all about knowing about Ysabel's Daughter, they also wanted us to experience their products by having a pampering afternoon with them. While waiting for my turn at Foot Spa and Massage, I was able to check out their products and ate the delicious food that they served.
I did not get dizzy in smelling all their products because all of it are wonderfully aromatic. I am already imagining what my room would smell like if I stock up on these items at home. I will now share with you their products available.
When we use commercial soaps, it may contain chemicals that can have adverse reactions like triclosan that interacts with chlorine in the water that forms chloroform gas that can disrupt our hormones.
