Akhassa is a new line of natural, holistic skin care remedies and treatments based on the age-old Southeast Asian traditions remembered from the childhood of Lisa and Roslyn Gillespie who grew up in Southeast Asia. Their interest in Asian therapies and treatments was inspired by their Thai mother, who introduced them to traditional Asian healing remedies at an early age. Akhassa is the ethereal fifth element in ancient Siamese culture, binds and balances the tangible elements of earth, water, fire and air. I have yet to try these beautiful products {made with such ingredients as bamboo shoots, galangal, pikul flower, tamarind, and more…} but the packaging really draws me…what a surprise…{Thanks to Joanna for the tip!}
