Viritida Ritual Cleansing Balm

Viritida is a euphoric balm-to-milk cleanser made from organic, cold-pressed hemp seed oil. It completely melts away makeup and grime without compromising the skin’s natural acid mantle, leaving skin feeling thoroughly cleansed and moisturized. The scent is composed of verdant notes with a slightly floral edge from oils of clary sage, rose geranium, and green tea, while a wisp of violet leaf hovers suggestively. Viritida brings a sense of ritual and ceremony to your daily cleansing routine.

HOW TO USE IT

Scoop a small amount out of the jar using your dry, clean fingers. Massage well into dry skin, then run your fingers under warm water and massage again to emulsify the cleanser into milk. Remove all traces of cleanser and makeup with a damp cloth, or simply a few splashes of warm water.

ABOUT THIS BRAND

Arcana is an exploration into the mysteries of plants. The word was popularized by alchemists during the sixteenth century as they sought to unveil the greatest secrets of plants, minerals, and animals - the ‘arcana of nature’. At that time, the western world was transitioning from the middle ages to the Renaissance and the desire for knowledge both spiritual and physical was exploding. Alchemists understood that all plants and minerals contained their own spirit, or ‘essence’ which could be extracted and utilized for healing. This knowledge was recorded through art and symbolism in order to bypass language and act directly on the subconscious. Arcana chooses the highest quality ingredients with a focus on plants that are either wild harvested or grown through biodynamic farming. Ingredient choices are mostly informed by the biodiversity of the places that have shaped Arcana — Scotland and southern Appalachia. Arcana’s formulation approach is consciously rich with dualities; common weeds sit alongside the most expensive actives, primitive folk remedies mingle with exotic oils. This is their complex universe, rooted in deep intention and knowledge.
