CALIFORNIA NORTH LAUNCHES APPELLATION SPA LINE

Inspired by the sun and sea, and designed to combat their damaging effects to skin and hair, California North provides true performance skincare and refined, comfortable fragrances. Formulated for active men and women, every product combines science and technology with the purity of the finest natural ingredients.

Grapeseed extract is one of todays most effective antioxidant ingredients in skincare and spa treatment products.

The antioxidant properties of grapeseed extract provides more antioxidant power than vitamins C, E and beta-carotene. Grape seed extract have the ability to bind to collagen and thereby promoting youthful skin, healthy cells, cellular elasticity and flexibility.

California Norths grape seed extract is derived from an all-natural cold filter process. It is not extracted with the use of chemicals. This results in a finer grapeseed allowing easier absorption.

The first two products to launch in California Norths Appellation Spa Line are Therapeutic Grapeseed Muscle Soak and Purifying Clay Facial Mask.

The Therapeutic Grapeseed Muscle Soak is a spa treatment bath blended with extracts of grapeseed, green tea, rosemary, sage, willow bark and yarrow to induce relaxation. Oils of bergamot, eucalyptus and juniper conditions dry skin. Soothing arnica, clove and ginger comforts overworked muscles. Place a full lid of product on top of a drawn bath and let stress melt away. Suggested retail price is $32.50 for 16 oz.

The Purifying Clay Facial Mask is a deep cleansing, firming and polishing spa treatment mask with crushed grapeseed, Vitamin A, E and arnica. The mask will unclog pores, moisturize and revitalize and has great detoxification and antioxidant properties. Suggested retail price is $26.50 for 4 oz.

Both products are available at select Nordstrom, as well as at fine spas, resort shops, pharmacies, cruise ships, gift shops and on-line at www.californianorth.com.
