New York-founded holistic wellness brand now available in PH

Bring home the 5-star hotel experience with Purism’s Palo Santo Wellness Line

If you have experienced the therapeutic benefits of Okada Manila’s The Retreat Spa, you can now replicate the feeling as the once exclusive partnership between the 5-star hotel and Purism’s Palo Santo Wellness Line is now available in the Philippine market.

Purism is a pioneering wellness brand from New York, founded by two Filipinas, Becs Domingo and Dr. Jeanne Damian. In response to the global shortage of medical resources during the Covid surge, the duo took charge of their health and the health of their loved ones through the use of aromatherapy and essential oils. Purism provides an all-natural, affordable, and easily accessible source of physical, mental, and spiritual wellness, as well as clean beauty.

“We’re so excited. We’ve been looking forward to this event because we want the opportunity to share something very special with you, something that is born out of love, out of our passion, and out of our desire to share the gifts we received from mother nature,” says Becs.

The brand’s Palo Santo Wellness Line is deeply rooted in South American culture. It is derived from Palo Santo trees harvested three to four years after natural death and replaced with new trees. Palo Santo has long been a staple of integrated medicine in Latin and Central America, and Purism utilizes it to offer a distinct cultural heritage, holistic impact, and unparalleled luxury wellness experience, with a focus on love, beauty, and wellness.

“There has been a lot of evidence about the benefits of essential oils over the years,” says Dr. Jeanne Damian, a licensed physician in internal medicine, pulmonary, and sleep medicine. “Alternative medicine has found its way into the mainstream, including practices such as meditation, yoga, acupuncture, and aromatherapy. It’s not meant to replace what conventional or western medicine has been doing for ages but to complement it, ensuring the best possible outcomes in any situation.”

Here is the list of Purism’s Palo Santo line:

1. Massage and body oil: A luxurious multi-functional 100 percent natural oil that nourishes, moisturizes, and revitalizes the skin, restoring tired and aching bodies, muscles, and joints.
2. Wood sticks: Actual Palo Santo smudging sticks that cleanse spaces of negative energy, attract positivity, and promote creativity.
3. Sacred mist: A Palo Santo-derived smudging spray that promotes rest, focus, and meditation, sanitizes the body, rooms, and surfaces, and repels insects.
4. Relief roll-on: A handy companion to combat and help relieve body pains, muscle aches, soreness, headaches, and stress, boost positive energy, and cleanse the body and mind.
