Q1: What percent of coconut oil is in your new cleanser? I read that coconut oil can clog pores.

I don’t recommend using coconut oil on your face by itself as it has a comedogenic rating of 4 on a scale from 0 to 5, where 0 is non-comedogenic and 5 is highly comedogenic. This means it has a relatively high potential to clog pores, especially for those with oily or acne-prone skin. Saying that, it has numerous skin benefits, especially for cleansing when properly blended. You can tell the % in our cleanser and all of our products as ingredients are always listed in descending order from most to least. Out of all the oils in our cleanser, it is the least amount. I assure you that our cleanser unclogs pores and restores and nourishes the skin's essential balance.

Q2:  Any studies on benefits of copper dry brush?

Unlike regular dry brushing, the friction that is created between the copper bristles and your skin creates negative ions that protect the body from free radical damage, and environmental stressors & counteracts digital technology. The neutralizing ions increase health benefits by restoring electromagnetic balance in the body, increasing circulation and collagen fibers, encouraging cellular turnover and skin renewal, and helping the lymphatic flow work more effectively.

We share a ton of information on our website and even have an entire blog post dedicated to this subject.

Q3: What are the benefits of body gua sha?

The state of our face is a direct reflection of how well our circulating energy life force “qi” or blood flow is. No matter what you do, if you do not take care of the whole body, you cannot make permanent changes to your face. Blocked blood flow impacts aging signs, affecting skin vitality. The face reflects overall well-being, and neglecting blood flow hinders lasting facial changes.

The Golden Secrets Sculpting Stone Gua Sha Body Tool, rooted in ancient Chinese self-healing practices, releases trapped lymph, aiding in waste expulsion and toning the body. This sacred stone, rich in trace elements, produces therapeutic waves, ultrasound, negative ions, and beneficial minerals, offering comprehensive anti-aging effects.

Q4: Can I use Aura Beauty Mist as a toner?

Yes! The Aura Beauty Mist helps balance the skin’s natural pH levels, strengthens the skin barrier & allows better penetration of your other skincare products - helping to make them more effective.

Aura delivers an instant dose of potent ingredients in a lightweight, water-based, complete botanical mist without drying the skin out, supporting clarity & giving it a boost of hydration!

It is meant to be used immediately after cleansing, before applying our oils, and anytime your skin needs a refresh and instant boost of radiance.
