Stylelist Giveaway - Ojon's NEW Batana Show Gel & Body Cream
Calling all skincare junkies! Five lucky winners will be among the first to try Ojon's brand new Batana collection, which debuted Friday at Sephora. The paraben-, preservative- and artificial color-free bath and body collection is packed with good-for-your-pelt natural ingredients like Acai, Biritu, Copaiba and Swa oils, plus, of course, the company's signature Ojon oil. The sulfate-free shower gel is created with a naturally foaming surfactant, and infused with oils to hydrate while it cleanses. The body cream is clinically proven to instantly increase skin's hydration by 51%, and the effects last up to 24 hours. Potent antioxidants protect skin from aging, and there's no greasy residue - it absorbs instantly. I'm using it and adore it - it literally changes the texture of my skin on contact and (bonus!) smells like the beach, all coconut and warm vanilla.
If you're not familiar with Ojon's amazing products, let me give you a little background: The line is based on oil extracted from the Ojon nut, harvested for centuries by the native Tawira people of Central America (known locally as "the people of beautiful hair" - really!) to hydrate their hair and bodies. In a story that rivals Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, company founder Denis Simioni traveled to the rain forests of Honduras to source Ojon oil, befriended the local people, and in cooperation with MOPAWI, developed a corporate partnership involving thousands of Tawira producers. This relationship has brought work to the formerly poor area, creating jobs for thousands and a local industry, while helping the Tawira people preserve their traditional lifestyle and the rain forests around them.
The Batana launch even took place at The United Nations in New York, at which Jorge Arturo Reina, the UN Ambassador to Honduras, expressed personal gratitude for the work Ojon is doing with the Tawira people in Honduras. As a seasoned beauty editor, I can vouch for the fact this was not your normal press event - most take place in trendy lofts or hotel suites - and to see firsthand the difference Ojon is making in Honduras was truly touching.
Isn't that a great story? But, what makes it truly impressive is that Ojon's products are like nothing you've ever tried before. See for yourself - sign up for our giveaway!

I've never tried Ojon, but I like that they source their materials with the help of the indigenous people of the area, and I'd like to try it!
