Handmade Beauty
Written by: The Red Flower Spa Team
Red Flower is one of our cherished skincare product partners, and we couldn't be more thrilled to collaborate with them. Known for their commitment to natural ingredients and eco-friendly practices, Red Flower embodies the perfect blend of luxury and sustainability.
At Red Flower, we are obsessed with the replenishing power of beauty, creating hand-picked formulations straight from nature. When you experience a signature Red Flower treatment at The Spa at Hemlock Neversink, you are not only receiving the benefits of potent natural ingredients; those ingredients are blended by hand mere miles away, in greater New York City. Our commitment to small batch production is at the heart of what we do, but what exactly does small batch production entail?
Why Small Batch Production Matters
Small batch production is the antithesis of mass production. Every lotion, oil, mist, and masque for The Spa at Hemlock Neversink is hand crafted in micro-batches, using only the finest natural ingredients to ensure quality and freshness.
In an era where sustainability is paramount, small batch production significantly reduces waste. By producing only what is needed, we are creating environmentally and socially responsible products that turn consumers into contributors to the world at large.
Handcrafting products in small batches allows for a personal touch that is often lost in mass production. This artisanal approach ensures that every product is a labor of love, embodying the skill and passion of our small team. For us at Red Flower, this translates to products that not only deliver exceptional results but also provide an elevated sensory experience to connect you more deeply with the natural world around you.
Red Flower Return to Nature Ritual: A Deep Dive
The Return to Nature Ritual being offered at Hemlock Neversink is a red flower staff favorite for its transformative healing power. All products used in this treatment are designed for head to toe rejuvenation. The ritual based treatment begins with an invigorating exfoliation using bioactive berry white peat exfoliant. Carefully sourced arctic white peat from Finland contains thousands of years of plant decomposition that is rich in nutrients, essential fiber, fatty acids, and minerals that produce warming enzymes, combating dry skin and improving the moisture balance. Bio-active arctic berry seeds offer a surge of vitamin c and powerful omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, encouraging cellular turnover and increased blood flow. Superfine grains of certified organic sea salt disintegrate on contact, functioning like an instantaneous peel, removing dead skin cells and excess toxins while pulling moisture and minerals in. The soothing essential oil of the geranium treats dry skin, firms and helps balance oily complexions, and aloe butter and algae provide a powerful antioxidant boost to restore a smooth complexion, keeping skin dewy fresh, energized and healthy.
Following the exfoliation, you are enveloped in a luxurious wrap of lymphatic phytopower sea cleanser and masque. The whole essential oil of juniper berry gently plumps the complexion and conditions the skin to reduce inflammation, puffiness, and signs of acne and eczema. A curative blend of aloe and sea algae balances and repairs environmentally damaged skin. Beta-glucans found in certified organic reishi, chaga and maitake mushrooms encourage collagen production and rid the body of excess fluids and toxins. One of the most powerful essential oils, helichrysum is known to heal and repair damaged skin, awakening a newfound radiance.
The ritual closes with a soothing float in the healing waters of organic birch mineral hydrotherapy soaking plunge. Hand-harvested certified organic grey sea salt from the coast of Brittany rejuvenates and stimulates cellular turnover, and the soothing bark extracts of birch and fir ease muscular and joint pain, while reducing inflammation. This warming holistic soak brings to mind the burning fires of dry aged wood inside a hot cedar sauna, leaving the body feeling refreshed, revitalized and alive.
The Return to Nature Ritual is an immersive experience that reconnects individuals with the natural world, reminding them of the healing power inherent in the earth's resources. By utilizing ingredients that are beautiful, active, and alive, the ritual offers deep health benefits that extend beyond the skin.
Red Flower’s meticulous approach to small batch production ensures that each product you experience is crafted with care and intention, delivering unparalleled results. By returning to nature and embracing the beauty and vitality of natural ingredients, Red Flower and The Spa at Hemlock Neversink provide a holistic approach to well-being that is truly exceptional.
