When the desert temperatures soar over 100 degrees, consider the melon skincare remedy. Created by The Body Deli in Palm Desert, these melon-inspired products—the Melon Foaming Cleanser and Melon Peptide Creme Gel (anti-aging)—are hydrating and balancing and truly take the sting out of triple-digit temperatures, mainly because of the purity of the ingredients. The Body Deli, a Coachella Valley legend, specializes in keeping the ravages of extreme weather at bay, leveraging the potencies of fresh, organic, raw superfoods to formulate their personal care products.

   This is thanks to two local "Cosmetic Chefs," David Parker and Margaret Clark. Their pioneering brand was created in Palm Desert and Palm Springs, both internationally recognized resort towns. They successfully put The Body Deli on the skincare map worldwide, crafting their products in a small factory tucked near both stores, one on Highway 111 the other on Palm Desert's famous El Paseo. Their meticulous method of creating every customized product, such as Melon Foaming Cleanser, with ingredients such as a touch of turmeric, which helps "neutralize skin sensitivity," is one of the secrets of The Body Deli's popularity and success.

New on the shelves of The Body Deli is their Pure Therapeutic Essential Oil collection, with soothing choices focused on alleviating anxiety. Suppose you're concerned about coping with anxiety, stress and tension during this daunting era of Covid-19 era. In that case, a few drops of Orange Remedy with essences of verbena, ylang-ylang and blood orange is a natural solution. The Green Detox essential oil blend features rosemary, ginger and lemon. Should the intense heat of our desert temperatures make you yearn for a healing lip balm, The Body Deli comes to the rescue with Mandarin Vanilla, Peppermint Tea-Tree and Rainforest Berry Lip Balm. Finally, travelers concerned with carry-on skincare products on commercial airline flights should consider A Body Deli Mini Kit". The bestseller mini kit, including the most popular facial products, is ideal for carrying with you as all the pure and natural products are under one ounce.
