Lotus Wei began in 2000 when Katie Hess — a flower alchemist + spiritual seeker born near Minneapolis — decided to share her custom-blended flower remedies with a handful of private clients.  Today, their flower essences + elixirs are sold in retail stores in 12 countries, at some of the world’s leading hotels + transformational spas, and to people like you.  The word “wei” has two meanings. The first is“transformative action” and the second is “for the benefit of all”.  At Lotus Wei, they believe that one of the simplest ways to ignite “transformative action for the benefit of all” is by using flower essences — pure, natural elixirs with the power to shift your mood + physiology. They believe it because they’ve felt it, seen it, researched it, and observed it — for over 13 years.

Product

Infinite Love Energy Mist is flower power courtesy of wild fireweed, Hong Kong orchid, pink magnolia & other exquisite aromatic plants come together to dissolve irritation, codependency, past trauma & hard heartedness with every spritz.  You’ll feel a dramatic difference in your everyday state of mind within 2-3 days as these flower essences magnify gentleness and compassion, promoting unconditional love for yourself and others around you.

How It Works

Flower alchemy is simply another way of receiving the nourishing properties of plants — but instead of taking in oxygen, you’re taking in pure flower essences, suspended in water— liquid energy that transforms your mood + your mind through your acupuncture meridians.   Flower alchemy is based on the premise that your body operates like a finely-tuned instrument. Sometimes, it rings with perfect pitch — everything in perfect alignment. Sometimes, it needs a little re-tuning. Flower essences act as a natural tuning fork — bringing your body back in tune with a subtle electrical vibration.

Shea Radiance is an eco-luxury beauty brand, located in Columbia, Maryland a surburb in the Washington DC metropolitan Area. They create effective and luxurious beauty products using shea butter as our key active ingredient. Their products are delivered in sustainable packaging while positively impacting the lives of women and children in Northern Nigeria.  Their journey began in 2005, while seeking a natural solution for their sons’ dry & eczema prone skin. It led them back to their homeland, the savannah in West Africa, the source of shea butter.  They were touched by the lives of the women who gather the nuts to produce raw shea butter.  Lack of access to education and good health care keeps them in a perpetual cycle of poverty despite the abundance of beautiful, natural resources that surround them.  Shea Radiance aspires to make a difference by sourcing fairly traded shea butter.  The income generated helps provide a better life for the women making the shea butter, and their children, creating a full circle of giving that uplifts women all the way through the value chain, from seed to shelf.
