What I Say:
To be quite honest, when I was approached and asked if I wanted to trial
the cream, I’d never heard of Subtle Energies before. But a little bit of
research into the brand and its products quickly got me very intrigued..
Subtle Energies is an Australian owned, family business that offers a
range of Ayurveda Aromatherapy blends, treatments and skincare. The products and
treatments are based on traditions dating back over 5,000 years in written
texts and 40,000 years by oral teachings. The products are made by combining
the optimum methods and knowledge found in these respected ancient sciences,
with modern aromatherapy techniques, to create safe and effective products with
properties to enhance wellness and promote vitality to the skin. How amazing
does that sound!!
And the Divine Passion Double Cream is nothing short of amazing. It combines the
skin softening elixirs of Saffron, Patchouli and Mogra essential oils, which
are extremely beneficial for hydrating and soothing dry, stressed and roughened
skin. Also contains the beautiful Sandalwood essential oil to nourish the
soul. These pure essential oils are combined with an ultra-rich cream of
natural butters and plant extracts, to provide skin with the extra moisture and
protection that it needs to promote a radiant glow.
The products from Subtle Energies are also made combining the traditional techniques and benefits of Ayurveda with the added benefits of Aromatherapy and Marma techniques, using the rare and unique flora pharmacy of the Indian essential and base oils, providing a holistic sensory experience.
And true to its name, the Divine Passion Double Cream really is amazing
and smells absolutely divine, and you can clearly detect the Patchouli, and although new to me, no doubt also the Mogra Absolute,
which is extracted
from Jasminum Officinalis, which is said to be one of the most fragrant flowers
that originated in central Asia.
The Indian science of Ayurveda and Ayurveda Aromatherapy is based on the
Elements, Doshas / Prakruti (genetic constitution) and Vikruti (presenting
condition). There are three Doshas, Vata (Air & Ether) Pitta (Fire &
Water) & Kapha (Water & Earth) – originating from the five basic
elements Air, Ether, Fire, Water & Earth. It is said that we are born
with an inherited genetic blueprint, or Prakruti of these Doshas within us,
some more pre-dominant than the others. When the Doshas are balanced according
to our Prakruti, they support the body. When not in balance, they cause disease
and disorders.
The
Subtle Energies products also works to achieve balance and harmony at the
individual Dosha level, whilst also nurturing the skin and senses.
All of this is new to me, so luckily the Subtle Energies website has a
small test you can do to calculate your dosha – which you can do here.
Mine is predominantly Pitta!
The Dosha effect of the Divine Cream claims to pacifies Vata and Pitta,
resulting in a synergy that calms the fire and balances the air and ether
energies within us, providing moisture, with soothing effects to skin and the
senses.
Now finally on to the actual cream…
The cream has a quite thick consistency which would make you think it
would leave the skin feeling greasy, but that is far from the case. It absorbs
quickly and leaves the skin incredibly soft and deeply hydrated, throughout the
day without the need to reapply. And the skin is left with a nice healthy glow.
And what I love too, is that divine scent keeps lingering on the skin for most
of the day too.
The cream also gets bonus points for being formulated without the use of petrochemicals, parabens or synthetic fragrances or colours.
It comes in a heavy plastic tub, which is so heavy that I initially thought it to be made from glass. It has a simply white screw lid with the brand’s logo embossed into the lid – and it simply just looks classy and elegant – and very luxurious too, one of those that you’d leave out on display in your bathroom!
What I Like:
- Comes in a luxurious looking jar
- Smells utterly divine and the beautiful scent lingers on the skin
- Absorbs quickly into the skin and without making it feel greasy or sticky
- Makes the skin feel thoroughly moisturised and gives it a nice healthy glow
- Thick and creamy consistency
- Doesn't contain petrochemicals, parabens or synthetic fragrances or colours
What I Don’t Like:
- A little pricey
Overall, this is an amazing cream, and I love the research
and development that has gone into making it and the other products from Subtle
Energies, making it more than just a body cream. It not only feels so lovely on
the skin, it smells so incredible too – like turning an ordinary shower into a
spa experience. Sadly it is not cheap, but if you can afford the splurge or
feel like treating yourself, you won’t regret it!
