With its proximity to the south coast and its fastidious choice of beauty partners it is no wonder that Voya has been part of the Lime Wood voyage since inception.
With its roots on the Atlantic coast of western Ireland Voya is a beauty range born from the sea, inspired by the ocean and the ancient Irish tradition of seaweed bathing. The family run, and owned company developed its products to reflect customers’ love of the seaweed bathing house and today there are over 20 products that they can take home to replicate the myriad of wellness benefits that the seaweed bathing offered.
Their flagship product – beautiful bath salts, Lazy Days is still a best seller internationally, and has been instinctively followed by a face and body skincare range that has been embraced by retail and professional markets alike.
The range has also been incorporated into a stunning choice of treatments in the Herb House Spa, including the Voya Lavender and Seaweed Sugar Glow. An invigorating and exfoliating hour-long indulgent and body awakening treatment which combines the rush of the exfoliating sugar glow scrub with the relaxation of lavender buds and nourishment of the seaweed!
A swift rinse followed by a massage with Voya’s ‘Softly Does It’ moisturiser literally leaves one feeling brand new!
This partnership between two forceful ambassadors of wellbeing and two parties that are in touch with nature – is powerful.
It makes complete sense that Voya have made such a success from seaweed, its available to harvest in organic,
sustainable and abundant licenced quantities. It’s proven – you don’t have to take Neptune’s word for it!
The range varies through beauty, skin concerns, home fragrance, and teas. The Fennel Fusion was the perfect accompaniment to the treatment and felt as good on the inside as the scrub and massage did on the outside!
Owner and ocean adventurer Mark Walton runs Voya, (proudly setting the bar as the world’s first certified organic seaweed-based skincare company in 2006), with his wife Kira. Mark spends much of his time challenging the water, in contrast to his beautifully balanced relationship that he has with its harvest and all it has to offer us land lubbers.
The newest product to wow the converted and those who are yet to experience the incredible results of this brand, is ‘Renewal Eyes’, 100% organic seaweed eye masks, just rehydrate and activate these individual masks, again Voya has recreated a go-to treatment to be used at home, offering a cool soothing treatment to the delicate under eye area, these little gems hydrate and support elasticity and suppleness, and let’s face it there isn’t one of us that wouldn’t agree to that after a hard week?
Everyone needs a Lime Wood and Voya fix occasionally, and while it’s on your mind why not make that reservation in the inimitable Herb House?
And next time you walk along the shoreline or swim amongst the seaweeds of this country, remember what incredible properties are within.
