Aside from whole food, organic personal products have become a top choice for city dwellers who seek healthy alternatives and want to bring themselves closer to what nature has to offer. It is safer. It is free from toxic chemicals. It offers natural benefits. It also promotes sustainability.
Last year, skincare and spa product creator Panpuri went green by introducing the Panpuri Organics range highlighting organic formulations. Certified by NATRUE and BioAgriCert, the 100% chemical-free and environmentally-friendly line distils organically grown ingredients into two sumptuous scents, Sunrise Lemon and Black Jasmine.
This year, making use of the certified organic collection its flagship retreat Panpuri Organic Spa holistically combines pure naturalness with luxury wellness into Sunrise Lemon Invigorating Body Treatment and Black Jasmine Nourishing Body Treatment (3,500++ baht). The Panpuri Organics body polishes and oils from the eco-friendly line are infused in the new therapies.
Panpuri Organics Lemon Sunrise collection.
To be pampered and get revitalised, I went to the spa to try the Sunrise Lemon Invigorating Body Treatment. As Panpuri Organic Spa is renowned for its unsurpassed service and claims to offer “everything organic” (including bathrobes, towels, sheets, fresh fruit and refreshments), I tested how well the spa could combine their skilful hands with the natural antidotes.
Panpuri Organics Sunrise Lemon collection contains organic extracts of lemon, orange and grapefruit. The first impression about the product is tangy freshness of citrus fruits, which naturally invigorates one’s senses.
The treatment started with a one-hour body scrub. With rosehip oil, zesty lemon and orange that are natural skin lighteners and exfoliators, the Sunrise Lemon body polish left my skin velvety soft. The therapist continued with a whole body massage fusing traditional and modern techniques to relieve tense muscles. Although this top-to-toe bodywork normally applies medium pressure, the therapist thoughtfully gave me an extra rubdown to target my sore points.
Also, thanks to a blend of coconut, jojoba and vanilla, the Sunrise Lemon body oil richly nourishes the skin, while the citrus aroma uplifted my spirit.
Sunrise Lemon Invigorating Body Treatment is a good choice to get spoiled. It offers a full pampering ritual of 150 minutes entirely dedicated to the body.
There is also pre-treatment perk to soak up the en suite steam room. The treatment left me fresh and gave me a state of relaxation — a brief-yet-worthy escape from hectic city life.
