"This elixir is good for your skin, good for your digestion, easy to make and it is absolutely divine happiness." - Sofiia Manousha
Inspired by Cleopatra, this Pearl Beauty Milk is an homage to a Queen who crafted elixirs and beauty rituals with ingredients like rose and milk to amplify her radiance. With the addition of Pearl and Beet Root powder, this almond milk makes the perfect deliciously pink, creamy base to all our beauty potions.
Almond milk is a source of youth and beauty...Almonds are a fatty acid that are essential to the beauty of our skin. They are also rich in fiber, potassium, magnesium and protein which makes them an essential food to integrate into your daily diet.
I created this beautifying almond milk as an elixir inspired by the ritual of Queen Cleopatra who poured donkey milk and rose petals into her bath. This elixir is good for your skin, good for your digestion, easy to make and it is absolutely divine happiness. You can integrate into your smoothie, latte, breakfast, or simply to satisfy your thirst.
"Pearl powder is a beauty superfood of excellence... A source of minerals such as calcium, zinc, iron, selenium and amino acids. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties support the body's natural collagen production...a beauty food venerated by Taoist herbalists to support our inner and outer shine."
