Zoom on the Moringa vegetable oil that you can find in the scented oils of La Bastide d'Isalinore...
Moringa oleifera is native to India (valley south of the Himalayas) and Sri Lanka. Today, it is well acclimated in the entire tropical and subtropical zone. It is present in many African countries (Senegal, Ethiopia, Mali, etc.).
It is attributed various names such as "Never die," "Tree of Heaven," or "Miracle Tree."
Since ancient times, the Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians recognized the moisturizing properties of Moringa vegetable oil. They used it as a base for their perfumes because it has the ability to absorb and retain scents. The Egyptians applied it daily to their skin to protect themselves from the sun's damage and the harsh conditions of the desert. Vases of Moringa oil were found inside some ancient tombs, indicating that this oil was once considered precious and almost sacred.
In Europe, the oil had an application in the perfume industry in Grasse during the 19th century. Its development was only hindered by the imposition of taxes.
Sesame is a plant that has been known, cultivated, and used for over 3000 years.
According to excavations and writings on papyrus, it is reported that it was initially cultivated and used by the Sumerians and Assyrians. Wealthy Assyrians used sesame oil as an ointment and medicine.
2000 years ago, this plant began to be cultivated and used by the Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese.
Protective of the central nervous system (CNS), this oil, known for its "heavy" texture, is the ideal oil for long Ayurvedic massages. The significant presence of unsaponifiables in sesame oil makes it a therapeutic oil that goes beyond simple cosmetic care.
Being highly penetrative, it regenerates and softens the skin, addressing issues like flakiness. It also has antioxidant properties.
In Greek mythology, we relate that the Rose is born from Aphrodite’s tears, shed when Adonis was dying. To the rose, Aphrodite gifts the beauty, Dionysus grant it the nectar from which it takes it intoxicating perfume and we even say that Zéphyr, incarnation of the wind of the West, hunt the clouds et allowed in this way to Apollon to send his sunray to make it bloom and become the Queen of flowers.
Originating from China where it was known 5000 years ago, the Rose has been appreciated since ancient times. A probable cross between the Provins rose (Rosa Gallica) and the wild dog rose (Rosa canina), the Damascus rose (Rosa Damascena), discovered by the Western world during the Crusades, remains the most sought after as it yields one of the most precious essential oils. It has been cultivated in Bulgaria since the late 17th century, but Turkey and Morocco are also significant producers.
In aromatherapy, the Damascus rose has properties similar to those of rose geranium. On the psycho-emotional level, it speaks to the heart.

Vanilla is one of the ingredients you will find in our products.
The vanilla bean is the fruit of a flower native to the region of Mexico, belonging to the orchid family. This flower used to be pollinated by a specific species of bees, which was essential for the formation of its fruit. When the plant was introduced to other countries, the bees did not follow, and that is why human intervention is now required for pollination.
The history of vanilla is closely linked to that of chocolate. The Aztecs and earlier the Mayans would add vanilla to a cocoa drink called xocoatl to balance the bitterness of the cacao. The Pre-Columbian civilizations attributed aphrodisiac and healing properties to vanilla.
In the Aztec language, vanilla was called "tlilxot chitl," which means "black pod." In 1518, a Spanish conquistador named Hernan Cortés brought the first vanilla plant to Europe. He named it "Vaynilla," which means "little pod."
