And during the time of Hippocrates, healers were encouraged by him to use sea water in submerging their patients who have muscle pains. Hippocrates also detailed the benefits of curing many ailments using sea water. When a physician named Charles Russel, around 1753 A.D. made, “The Uses of Sea Water”, it made points on the different therapeutic properties of sea water. When people heard of this, they suddenly began flocking to the coasts. Scientists still today focus on research and studies on sea water's benefits for many ailments, including health, beauty and overall well-being.Bubbling Bubbles4 in 1 gels: Bubble Bath, Shampoo , Shower Gel , Fabric Cleaner

Emulsions & CreamsIndulge.... is the motto of the seasonEnfleurageScented PomadesEnfleurageEnfleurage : One of the oldest methods of extracting the essence of flowers, herbs and various botanicals . Traditionally , animal fats are used to render the precious oils , but MoonaLisa uses the hot enfleurage method using only vegetarian fats , butters and waxes. This method is considered the oldest known procedure for preserving plant fragrance substances. Once the fat is saturated with fragrance, it is then called the "enfleurage pomade". This "pomade" is then transformed into various unique offerings. Coming this Holiday Season!House of WaxIlluminations and OrnamentsHouse of WaxThe oldest known "candles" were made of beeswax by the Egyptians. In ancient Japan and China, candles were made from various seed and insect waxes , and then rolled into paper. Here you will find hurricane, paraffin and soy candles.

SoapsA soap-like material found in clay cylinders during the excavation of ancient Babylon is evidence that soapmaking was known as early as 2800 B.C. A formula for soap consisting of water, alkali and cassia oil was written on a Babylonian clay tablet around 2200 BC. The Ebers papyrus (Egypt, 1550 BC) indicates that ancient Egyptians bathed regularly and combined animal and vegetable oils with alkaline salts to create a soap-like substance. Egyptian documents mention that a soap-like substance was used in the preparation of wool for weaving.Sprays/MistersMystical enchanted airSprays/MistersComing this Holiday Season !UnguentsThe ancient art of ointments , salves , and balms.
