Novella~The Ice Mermaids Rhapsody~Body Caviar
The stories told of warm blooded mermaids, are far and wide. Tropical sirens from oceans which lay at the navel of the earth, who sing their songs while sun bathing on warmed rocks on the shores of the clear blue seas. But it is the Ice Mermaid, we hear little to no legends, of these enchanted creatures of the Arctic sea.
The Ice Mermaids reside in the land of the glaciers, where ice caps the world, and ice islands float for eternity. Novella, her voice so beautiful, sailors could sit at her feet and listen to her sing for a thousand years. Her beauty beyond compare, men plunge into freezing waters to swim to her. She is the keeper of stories, and why you do not hear much of her. She enjoys her solitude in the sea, and is rarely seen by the other mermaids. She keeps deep in the sea, where the waters are dark, ushering the ebb and flow of the stories around the world. She sings the song of stories, her rhapsody, preserving the tales told, keeping them true and clear. They spiral up from the center of the earth, and as they do, Novella sings her song, guiding the stories where they belong.
The scent of the icy waters captured in a hydrating, moisturizing body cream. The cooling, fluffy gel-cream is infused with the perfume of the Ice Mermaid. Jasmine, which appears at first, but also lingers on the skin, paired with Lavender, Incense Resins, Precious Woods, is light, ethereal, ozonic, and oceanic.

The scent is downright divine, and the botanicals used help stimulate blood flow, protect skin, and give skin a healthy, glowing appearence, while dusting skin with a heavenly floral perfume, cool and oceanic, which invokes the icy sea where Novella resides.
Novella's Body Caviar is a cool, gel-like cream, often called Body Souffle, but for Novella's sake I've coined it Body Caviar! It is ultra-light and non-greasy, and absorbs immediately. The formula is a vibrant icy blue, but unlike the other blue formulas in this collection that utilize plant dyes, this formula is infused with all natural blue mica crystals. Micro-fine pearl powder leaves skin positively glowing. Hyaluronic acid plumps skin, and draws in hydration, while Cloudberry oil, Kukui Oil, and Avocado Oil nurture and smooth skin, sealing in hydration, and keeping skin moisturized. I've included natural triglycerides and esters, which helps keep the formula ultra-light while also feeding skin the fatty acids it needs.
