Founder Emaan Abbass experienced the benefits of the oil during periods of menstrual discomfort and says:

“As someone with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), my periods were constantly fluctuating. I would go months without a period, and when I did have one, the pains were unbearable,” explains Abbass. “I was tired of popping pain killers. I wanted to find a natural remedy that would help calm and soothe my body during my monthly cycle. The Potion, when massaged onto areas of tension, did just that. It not only helped with my discomfort but it smells incredible, too.”

The Potion that comes as a topical ointment boasts of 100% natural ingredients like hemp seed oil, lavender oil, clary sage oil, bergamot oil, eucalyptus oil, and arnica. The soothing army of the aforementioned oils offers calming aromatherapeutic properties that aim to soothe and comfort on contact. The topical product creates a multipurpose formula, to be applied at specific pressure points that soothe muscle tension and ease the harrowing period gremlins.

Directions for use

For obtaining the targeted soothing effect, gently massage a few drops onto your abdomen, lower back, wrists, and temples. To use for all-over massage, apply a liberal amount (1–2 droppers full) on larger areas of the body for head-to-toe aromatherapeutic TLC*.

To get the best out of The Potion, Ketish recommends a soothing ritual, pre-application:

Throw the kettle on and prepare a tea fusion inspired by the product—peppermint leaves, lavender, and bergamot flowers. While your tea brews, gently massage the soothing oil all over your body, using firm but loving circular movements. Gently rub small drops on the temples, before sitting back and enjoying your herbal tea. The aromas will transport you into a blissful haven. You deserve it, after all.

Huda Kattan, chairwoman of HB Investments and Founder of Huda Beauty said:

“The Potion is a great addition to the KETISH collection of feel-good products for women. It is the perfect product to soothe, comfort, and give your body a little extra TLC when you need it most. Definitely an essential for any beauty cabinet.”

The solution to your period cramps is priced at $32 and was long overdue and. It comes as another prized addition in Ketish’s determination to replace the shame and the stigma that entails every woman’s body image. At the heart of the brand is to champion sensuality and self-love through education and empowerment.

Coppafeel! is determined to break the cycle of young people thinking cancer doesn’t affect them, after a recent revelation stated that a quarter of young people don’t realize they are at risk of developing breast cancer. Through their latest campaign ‘Know Yourself’, the charity is encouraging young people to become more familiar with their bodies, to ensure any changes are spotted quicker. 

The campaign documents a diverse group getting to know their bodies; squeezing bums, touching boobs, grabbing bellies, and much more. The video is realistic, showing a range of different body shapes and identities.

Speaking on ‘Know Yourself’, campaign director Jess Kohl said; ”The idea for the project was not only to raise awareness around an important issue – that young people of any gender can be affected by breast cancer – but also to encourage young people to get comfortable with their bodies, to embrace themselves whatever shape and size, however, they identify, and by doing so potentially protect themselves from a life-threatening illness.” 

Coppafeel! also included real-life stories in the campaign, including that of Lucy, who was 26 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Lucy hopes her cameo will show that young people are affected by the disease, whilst also spreading awareness of the black community being at risk. Speaking on the issue of previous breast cancer adverts not being inclusive enough, Lucy said; “When I see these adverts about cancer, I don’t see black people, I don’t hear about people speaking about cancer. I almost felt like it just didn’t happen to us.”

To ensure everyone who sees the campaign is able to spot changes in their body, the campaign’s website, Coppafeel.org comes with a self-help 101 on how to accurately check your boobs, making certain that everyone knows what to look out for, and how the symptoms of breast cancer can feel or appear.
