Professional Beauty July/August 2019

WHAT INSPIRED ECOCOCO’S
PROFESSIONAL TREATMENTS AND
WELLNESS PROTOCOLS, AND WHAT
PHILOSOPHIES AND CULTURES HAVE
FORMED THEM?
Our professional wellness treatments and
protocols were originally inspired by our
salon and spa stockists who wanted to offer
their clients more than skin and body
benefits. They were realising that in this
busy modern age, people are looking for
relaxing treatments that offer mental and
spiritual wellbeing, as well as physical
results. As a result, we began designing
treatments that incorporated calming and
healing rituals inspired by ancient Chinese,
Indian and Thai practises that would treat
the outer body, the lymphatic system, and
the clients’ state of mind. Our professional
treatments focus on the notion of wellness
and tend to both inner and outer wellbeing,
while our range of retail products means
clients can continue the daily self-care
rituals at home.
THE WELLNESS
MOVEMENT HAS
SOARED IN POPULARITY
BECAUSE WE’RE BUSIER
AND MORE STRESSED
OUT THAN EVER.
WHAT SETS ECOCOCO APART FROM
OTHER FACE / BODY / HAIR CARE
RANGES ON THE MARKET?
Our hero ingredients and essential oils
definitely set us apart from other brands
that are out there, because they enable us to
provide products that achieve real results,
naturally. 100% certified organic coconut oil
forms the basis of all ECOCOCO products,
and we supplement this amazing ingredient
with high- performance, natural ingredients
like Kakadu plum, charcoal, rosehip oil, goji
berry and acai berry, and beneficial, allnatural
essential oils that can calm and relax
(or invigorate and uplift!) the mind and
body. Our wellness rituals and the use of
energy-healing crystals in our professional
treatments also help set us apart from
other brands.
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO INTRODUCE
CRYSTALS TO THE RANGE, AND WHAT DO
YOU HOPE THEY BRING TO THE ECOCOCO
TREATMENT EXPERIENCE?
Crystals have really made a comeback these
past few years, along with the rise of wellness
philosophies and holistic health, so we knew
they were definitely something we wanted to
incorporate into our treatments. According
to ancient philosophies, crystals carry
powerful energies that positively interact
with your body’s energy field, or chakra, and
holding them or placing them on your body
is thought to promote physical, emotional
and spiritual healing. Whether or not you
believe in the healing powers of crystals,
their use brings an additional tactile
experience to the treatments (we suggest
warming or cooling them to achieve different
sensations for your clients) and clients really
seem to love them.
HOW DO YOU SEE THE WELLNESS
MOVEMENT AFFECTING THE
PROFESSIONAL BEAUTY INDUSTRY?
The wellness movement has allowed the
professional beauty industry to introduce
‘experiences’ into their services, rather than
simply offering skin ‘treatments.’ In doing
so, it’s highlighted the importance of the
mind/body connection, and how achieving
this balance can be so beneficial to our
overall wellbeing. This more holistic
approach to professional beauty services
means clients are getting even more out of a
visit to the salon or spa, leading to increased
customer satisfaction and loyalty. And that
can only be a good thing! ■

CRYSTAL GUIDE
ECOCOCO incorporates a range of crystals into its
treatments — read on to discover their uses and benefits.
ROSE QUARTZ FACIAL CRYSTAL
Perhaps the crystal most synonymous with the
current wellness movement, rose quartz
is the ultimate beauty crystal, believed to
reduce impurities and stress in the skin.
ECOCOCO’s rose quartz face crystal is
designed for use in a soothing facial massage
aimed at increasing microcirculation to plump and
smooth the skin and encourage cell rejuvenation.
ROSE QUARTZ & AMAZONITE
PALM STONES
Designed to fit in the palm of your hand,
palm stones are versatile pieces that can be
incorporated into treatments in a number
of ways. Whether held by clients during
treatment or placed on various parts of
the face or body during facials and massages,
ECOCOCO’s palm stones can be a comforting,
grounding tool for your clients.
JADE EYE MUSHROOM
A highly calming stone, jade is great for use
on irritated and inflamed skin and is thought
to improve skin elasticity. ECOCOCO’s jade
eye mushroom crystals are designed to be
used below the orbital bone in gentle gliding
movements that encourage lymphatic drainage,
and reduce puffiness and the appearance
of fine lines.
JADE EYE MASK
The coolness and weight of this mask helps
reduce pore size, decreases puffiness and
relax fine lines, and ECOCOCO recommend
keeping it in the fridge for ultimate results.
BLUE CALCITE BODY MASSAGER
This large, smooth crystal feels beautiful in
your hand and is thought to clear negative
energy, promote physical healing and
encourage rest and relaxation — making it
the perfect ECOCOCO piece for use
in massages.
