Launched recently into the United States has been Akhassa, an Asian-inspired home spa collection.

The range includes four lines - Ignite, Retreat, Define and Nurture - and each features a unique combination of aromas and natural ingredients embodied in a Body Oil, Bath Oil, Body Lotion, Shower Cream, Body Scrub, Bath Tea and Soap.

Ignite has been created to boost energy levels with the ancient remedies of holy basil, galangal and bergamot, while Retreat offers total relaxation with the signature scents of lemongrass, mulberry, kaffir lime and bamboo shoot.

Define is aimed at stimulating the circulation and improving body tone with the detoxifying properties of ginger, black pepper and cinnamon, and Nurture is designed to fortify the body and mind by deeply nourishing the skin with pink tea, jasmine and white lotus.

Akhassa's essential oils and extracts are 100 per cent natural and distilled from plants, flowers, fruits and herbs cultivated in Asia to provide a truly tropical home spa experience.

Each line is distinctively packaged in the company's trademark glass jars - with an orange, blue, green or pink label to distinguish between them - and topped off with a signature sugar palm wood cap.

Spas already stocking the new range include the Coronado Bay Resort in San Diego, CA. and the Belladonna in New Orleans, LA.
