Description
An algae-infused, brightening body oil created for high summer. Galatea is created with rich Moroccan argan oil and spirulina, an ancient blue-green organism with a history that stretches back billions of years. Biologically rich, by the 16th century there are records of it being gathered and made into nutrient-dense dried cakes by the Aztecs and through the centuries, it became prized in skincare for its naturally occurring antioxidants and skin-conditioning and rejuvenating properties. The scent of Galatea is bright and awakening with bright yuzu and bergamot, cool citruses that are used extensively in aromatherapy to relieve anxiety and uplift the spirits.

Galatea is a rich argan and algae body oil that tones and smooths the skin, leaving it healthy and moisturized with a luminous glow. Highly concentrated in Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, this blue-green microalgae is a deep sea secret for protecting and brightening the skin, fighting free radical damage, and slowing the signs of aging.

Galatea
In ancient Greek mythology, Galatea is one of the fifty daughters of Nereus, the old man of the sea, and is the goddess of calm seas. She is often depicted as a beautiful and nubile woman riding side-saddle on the back of a sea monster.
