"There are two reasons why we chose to use Armenian ingredients [in
our products]," says creative and brand director for AMS Naturals,
Ani Martirosian. "First, these ingredients contain a potency and
resilience that we weren't able to find in like ingredients grown
elsewhere...and secondly, Anahit, [face and body balm], merges my
Armenian heritage with my Hawaii upbringing."
Martirosian was 10 years old when her parents moved to Hawaii, and she
explains that the roots, flowers, and herbs they use to make Anahit
grow wild in the Armenian highlands. The extremely high elevation
of the Ararat mountain region, coupled with its unique climate and
undeveloped and unpolluted environment, make for a perfect growing
environment. Anahit's all-natural concoction includes ingredients
such as pine tree, myosotis extracts, geranium and apricot extracts,
as well as cacao-tree oil and beeswax. And that's it!
"When combined in the right proportions, these ingredients make a
very effective all-in-one skin solution." she says of the balm named
after the Armenian goddess of healing.
AMS Naturals products are made here on Oahu in the family's factory,
where they've been in action for the last five years (three and a
half of which were purely devoted to research and development). The
company is a spin-off of Aloha Medical Supply, a medical supply and
equipment company founded by Martirosian's parents that has been
doing business on Oahu for the last 14 years.
With a consistency that looks and feels like strawberry puree mixed
with Waxelene, Anahit transformed my skin from the color of a dry
potato to that of a plump pillow of sweet plum jelly. Like a 3-second,
tinge-free, I-just-had-an-acid-peel makeover, this face balm actually
leaves a glow.
It's perfect for anyone fighting corpse-colored skin, chapped cheeks,
or an I-can't-smile-or-I-might-crack-my-lips episode. Treat yourself
to elasticity.
