The Essaouira Body Serum by Kahina Giving Beauty takes its name and inspiration from the Moroccan coastal village of Essaouira (pronounced es-suh-weer-uh) and lends an elegant, decadent, and ultra-nourishing feel to the skin. A blend of organic argan, sunflower, olive, coconut, and watermelon seed oils are superfoods that promote healthy-looking skin in all seasons. A crisp bouquet of lavender rose, sandalwood and geranium is perfectly balanced with petitgrain for a lightly scented serum that offers a feeling of all-day skin protection.
HOW TO USE IT
Apply onto clean skin -- wet or dry -- and massage -- always in the direction of the heart. Massage any leftover body serum into fingertips and toes to make cuticles feel nourished.

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Founder Katharine L'Heureux discovered argan oil on a 2007 trip to Morocco where she became enchanted with the beauty traditions of its indigenous Berber women. Inspired to build a modern beauty line based on their traditional beauty rituals, she sources her ingredients through working cooperatives that directly benefit the women of this semi-desert region. Katharine visits regularly to gauge how Giving Beauty can best support the women of the region which so far has included funding the organic certification of a women's argan oil cooperative, providing housing and drinking water for girls in school, buying sheep to provide wool and milk and planting trees in rural villages. Each of Kahina Giving Beauty's argan-infused bottles bears the signatures of the women who extract the precious golden oil, recognized as the artisan heroines behind the brand and emblematic of the exchange of beauty and energy that make up this consciously crafted skin care line. Using its signature ingredient, argan oil, in conjunction with pure botanical actives, this sophisticated collection matches luxury with soul.
