Recommendation for the ritual:

These natural ingredients are chosen for their therapeutic properties, which gently penetrate the skin, revitalizing and nourishing your body deeply. After your bath, you will feel a deep sense of gratitude from your body, which will thank you for this moment of care and relaxation.
