San Francisco, CA (ContentDesk) July 10, 2006 -- Studies show that dark chocolate offers many health benefits including lowering blood pressure and fighting off heart disease from the high levels of antioxidants and polyphenols found in the cocoa ingredient. On the beauty front, dark chocolate soothes, moisturizes, and heals which is why Susan Kim, founder of Asiana, formulated a therapeutic milk bath using real dark chocolate from Ghirardelli for its premium quality and product integrity and blended in certified organic coconut cream (boasting a fat content of over 70%) thus bolstering the hydrating ability and functionality of this treatment. The dark chocolate coconut cream milk bath is accompanied by other spa inspired treatments including a range of organic fruit juice facial masks, mocha and organic rice body scrubs, and shea and mango body butters fusing unorthodox and traditional ingredients from tropical Asia and the West formulated to work efficaciously with the skin to repair, renew, and treat skin with spa-strength quality and clinically proven ingredients.As a skincare Specialist at Sephora and Manager at Nordstroms beauty counter, creator Susan Kim sharpened her knack for personal care products and noticed that many of the mainstream products emulate each other but with a slight twist or change in color or fragrance. Looking for an alternative and after a few inspiring and memorable spa treatments during a trip to southeast Asia, Susan Kim set out to bring a kiss of tropical Asia influence across the Pacific through modern spa formulations using ingredients like papaya, ginger, and lemongrass and leveraging a patented organic rice bran, certified organic coconut cream, and Ghirardelli dark chocolate and dark mocha powder resulting in delectable, effective skin and body care solutions.Asianas spa therapy products are FD&C color free, sodium laureth sulfate free, and cruelty free and launches its collection out of San Francisco, CA. Some products are available on 7/24/06.
