Save the majestic Ceylon elephant

The majestic Ceylon elephant is under threat of extinction over the long term, due to loss of its natural habitat – from smaller unplanned chena cultivations as well as major agricultural and development projects.

The resultant human-elephant conflict in Sri Lanka is unfortunately taking a toll on the elephant population while also affecting the livelihoods of families living adjacent to the traditional forest habitats of the Ceylon elephant.

Therefore, as a special initiative, Spa Ceylon Luxury Ayurveda - Sri Lanka’s premiere Spa lifestyle brand - has launched the ‘Save the Majestic Ceylon Elephant’ campaign – to help raise awareness about the plight of the Ceylon elephant and to help fund conservation projects to safeguard the elephants.

To kick off the campaign, Spa Ceylon has created an exclusive range of Save The Majestic Ceylon Elephant themed bath, body and home aroma products with the forest trail aroma - a fresh and invigorating blend of fragrant essential oils inspired by the natural forest habitat of the Ceylon elephant.  

The aromatic forest trail blend is enriched with essential oils of organic lemongrass, eucalyptus and patchouli to help take away stress, pure peppermint to cool and spearmint to promote a sense of joy, while cedar wood, vetiver and cardamom help uplift, refresh and invigorate. The formulae also include powerful ayurveda actives working in harmony to soothe, calm and relax your body, mind and soul.

The Save The Majestic Ceylon Elephant range consists of nearly 50 items including bath and shower gel, hand and body lotion, hand wash, bath soak, body scrub, hair cleanser, hair conditioner, home fragrance oil blends, elephant shaped cleansing bars, luxury candles, home aroma diffusers, elephant shaped aroma incense, safari sets, home spa sets, aroma greeting cards, aroma stationary, aroma car fresheners, room aroma sachets and a collection of luxury gift sets with these formulae.

As a socially conscientious brand, Spa Ceylon proudly donates 10% of their turnover from the sale of the Save The Majestic Ceylon Elephant range towards specific elephant conservation projects in Sri Lanka and invites conscientious persons to purchases these products and help support the cause.  

Spa Ceylon also invites socially conscious persons and wildlife activists to join their campaign to help Save The Majestic Ceylon Elephant by becoming a fan at www.facebook.com/spaceylon or www.facebook.com/ceylonelephant and also participating in conservation events in Sri Lanka, starting January 2012.

The Save The Majestic Ceylon Elephant products are now available at all Spa Ceylon locations as well as all Paradise Road outlets, Odel Ward Place and Queens Kandy, Barefoot Colombo and Galle Fort as well as at selected resort hotels. With its planned overseas expansion in 2012 to India and Singapore, Spa Ceylon expects to retail these products at their overseas locations as well, further expanding the project at an international level.

The overall Spa Ceylon brand captures the romance of old Ceylon combined with ancient Ayurveda wisdom to create their range of majestic royal spa rituals and luxury product formulae designed to soothe, calm and relax the body, mind and soul. The complete range comprises of prestige skin, body, bath, scalp and hair care preparations, oils, balms and portions, home aroma blends, candles, handmade stoneware and spa accessories.

The all-natural Spa Ceylon formulae are enriched with local herbs and mostly Ceylonese essential oils. T
