Love it: Sodashi's Samadara Ultimate Age-Defying Elixir

A new Sodashi product always takes time to come to fruition, mainly due to the absolute quest for perfection constantly adhered to by the company’s inspirational founder, the wonderful Megan Larsen.

Considered by many to be “the purest skincare brand in the world”, Sodashi is an Australian skincare company that has successfully harnessed the benefits of natural ingredients to produce effective, chemical-free skin care products and spa therapies since 1999. As a lover of those rare moments when all natural-meets-high performance in the world of beauty, I fell in love with it pretty much on sight, and have never looked back.

Sodashi products are formulated using a unique combination of biochemistry, aromatherapy and Ayurvedic principles, and are all produced at the company’s own laboratory in Fremantle in Western Australia. A Sanskrit word, Sodashi translates to ‘wholeness, purity and radiance’ – the values on which the company and its products are based. As well as producing beautiful, desirable products, their absolute commitment to working in harmony with nature is reflected across all areas of the business, a factor you can’t help but admire. Not a single synthetic chemical, preservative or fragrance is used in the Sodashi manufacturing process. Products are never tested on animals and Sodashi packaging is recyclable and printed with natural vegetable dyes, and they must be doing something right as the range is available at many of most exclusive resorts and spas worldwide.

One of my all-time favourite beauty products is the brand’s absolutely in-cred-ible Samadara

Ultimate Age-Defying Crème, which is the ultra eco-luxe brand’s powerful anti-ageing treatment to reawaken the skin. A truly transformative number, it uses a unique alchemy of pure plant ingredients and rose quartz crystal water to promote skin’s own natural healing abilities from within. Regular use dramatically boosts skin cell renewal to tone, firm and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and the velvety-smooth crème comes even with two rose quartz crystals to massage the treatment into the skin for maximum benefit. The ingredient list is blissfully and proudly chemical free, and includes treats like organic Damask Rose, lavender and sandalwood that also give it the most beautiful-yet-delicate scent.

An accompanying Samadara eye cream joined the pack a couple of years ago, and now the heavenly pair has been joined by Samadara Ultimate Age-Defying Elixir, a wee bottle of amazingness that I have been lucky enough to be trialling for the past week or so.

An intensive overnight repair treatment to diminish lines, reduce pigmentation and refine pores, it is made up of “a unique alchemy of the purest botanical ingredients enlivened with Rose Quartz Crystals” that boosts the skin’s natural renewal cycle with some pretty serious results. 

A super fine, exquisitely scented oil that is an absolute pleasure to use each and every time you unleash a few drops into your palm, it seriously makes the night time ritual just that - a sensorial experience that also happens to result in beautiful skin. The results are immediate too - the oil is absorbed into the skin immediately and gives you a glowy, soft and velvety look and feel that is almost impossible to believe until you’ve tried it.

So try it you must! This beauty is available online at www.sodashi.com and via selected stockists of the brand, who you will also find details for at the same address. RRP $274.00 and IMHO, worth every penny.
