WALA stands for Warmth-Ash-Light-Ash, representing the rhythmical, water-based extraction process used after plants are harvested by hand at sunrise?when the oils are most concentrated?yielding bath oils, skin treatments and cosmetics without alcohol or preservatives. "Rather than suppressing one symptom like dryness or oiliness, we activate the skin's ability to heal itself," says Kurz, whose book, Awakening Beauty, will be published...
