Everyone knows the importance of skin health and taking care of your skin. Skin is the largest organ of the body and its first layer of defense, so we ought to take care of it. However, we tend to give a lot of our attention to facial care or the areas of skin that are most visible. Your face makes up a fraction of your total skin, so there’s much more to cover. So, you need a multi-step routine with the same benefits as a facial skin care routine that will take care of your body, a regimen that cleanses, moisturizes, and nourishes your skin. 

The new Body Ritual Trio is our first addition to Shaklee Body Care. It’s nutrient-rich, vitamin-infused, three-step, daily routine that supports healthy, hydrated, and firmer-looking skin. Have a look at this collection of products that’s been inspired by nature and perfected by science. 

Why Shaklee Body Care 

Here are a few reasons why you should add our Body Ritual Trio to your wellness routine. 

1. Made with Powerful Nutrients
   The Body Ritual Trio is about giving you Nutrition from the Outside In. Vitamins are essential nutrients that your skin needs to function optimally, so our Body Ritual Trio is infused with vitamins A, B3, B5, and E. Each nutrient has different health benefits, from providing antioxidant support and moisturization to helping smooth skin’s texture and tone. The Body Ritual Trio also contains omega fatty acids and ceramides, lipids that help form the natural skin barrier. They are the glue that holds our skin cells together to keep our skin barrier intact and healthy, and a healthy skin barrier helps keep moisture in and harmful elements out.
2. Rich in Potent Polyphenols
   One of the driving forces behind the Body Ritual Trio is an patent-pending polyphenol blend to help protect and slow the breakdown of collagen and elastin, (1,2) visibly firming the skin. (3) It features high concentrations of antioxidants, including those naturally present in the muscadine grape, one of nature’s rarest, most potent fruits and native to North Carolina and other parts of the southeastern region of the United States. Muscadine grapes have a unique polyphenol profile with high concentrations of ellagic acid and ellagitannins, giving them immense antioxidant power. The blend also includes chardonnay grape seed extract, which was developed using a double-patented, natural process that concentrates specific polyphenols, and resveratrol, a natural compound found in trace amounts in the skins of grapes, red wine, and peanuts. 
3. Clean Body Care
   We’ve proven before that you don’t have to sacrifice safety and purity for efficacy. The Body Ritual Trio contains no parabens, sulfates, phthalates, silicones, artificial colorants, or PEGs (polyethylene glycols). In fact, our body care line is free of 2,500 ingredients that are potentially harmful to health or to the environment. Instead, we opt for ingredients derived from nature, including our patent-pending polyphenol blend and 12 additional botanical oils and extracts: jojoba oil, baobab seed oil, coconut oil, sunflower seed oil, oat kernel oil, shea butter, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice, magnolia bark extract, rosemary leaf extract, thyme leaf extract, sage leaf extract, and lemon balm leaf extract. The Body Ritual Trio is also cruelty-free and vegan.

Your Daily Bath and Body Ritual 

With the efficacious, clean, and luxurious Body Ritual Trio, bath time is like a trip to the spa. Here’s what your daily body routine will look like; a simple three-step process that will wrap your body in wellness. 

Step 1: Revitalize 

Your daily body ritual starts with Revitalize Body Wash, a creamy, ultra-nourishing multivitamin cleanser. Revitalize Body Wash contains soothing botanicals, antioxidants, vitamins, and omega fatty acids to revitalize the skin with nutrients and oils. Plus, an invigorating tea scent of ginger, bergamot, geranium, and peppermint uplifts the senses for an experience that leaves you feeling clean and replenished with a youthful, healthy glow. 

Step 2: Restore 

Restore Body Serum follows the body wash. Apply this silky serum all over your clean, dry skin and then allow it to dry. This firming, nutrient-rich, age-defying treatment helps slow the breakdown of collagen and protects against premature aging caused by free radicals with a patent- pending polyphenol blend, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide for younger, firmer-looking skin with better tone and texture. The body serum has sensual, clean notes of creamy coconut, lavender, white woods, and black pepper. 

Step 3: Nourish 

Once your skin is dry, apply Nourish Body Lotion generously all over your body and hands. This luxurious, long-lasting multivitamin moisturizer seals in hydration and is infused with antioxidants from our patent-pending polyphenol blend to help support the skin barrier and keep your skin looking younger and feeling smoother. Like the Restore Body Serum, the Nourish Body Lotion has notes of creamy coconut, lavender, white woods, and black pepper to create a calm and grounded feeling as you step into your day. 

Let Nutrition Sink In 

Our Body Ritual Trio is our essential collection of nutrition for the body, and together these products nourish the skin to leave it irresistibly soft, visibly firmer, and aging well in three simple steps. While this body care line is set to ship in September 2022, you can pre-order today. The Body Ritual Trio is the perfect addition to your daily wellness and self-care routine. And if you’re not already looking forward to your next bath or shower, now you will.
