centsuosity 2012 catalog
About Lea J. The development of Scentsuosity body care products has been a labor of love and passion for me. Studying and researching how natural ingredients affect body chemistry and understanding what application of blends bring about the smoothest and healthiest skin. This is infused into every Scentsuosity “experience” I create. The vision for creating natural products and seeking a lifestyle of wellness & well-being came to light for me in 1997. I walked into Wild Crafters Gallery & Gift Boutique in Mt. Vernon, NY and found myself completely captivated. The air was filled with an aroma of uplifting essential oils and the shelves were adorned with nourishing natural handmade products, books and accessories which made this boutique whole. I was drawn in and the passion to learn more about aromatherapy and making natural products was now a part of my daily journey. This was all new to me but it had a feel of something so familiar, I knew my soul was leading me. I remembered saying, ”one day I will make and sell my own products in a place that is Natural, Soulful, Creative.” Today is that day, come to my studio and revive your senses... Enjoy! —Lea J. Alston

The combination of yogurt, which will soften the skin, and honey a natural humectant, makes for a good everyday cleansing moisturizer.
