The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills continues to bring guests the finest treatments and products from around the world with the introduction of ila, a new generation of skin care from England.

ila, which means “earth” in Sanskrit, has gained international status with its line of “beyond organic” products and bespoke spa treatments. The philosophy of ila centres on delivering a unique spa experience complete with innovative treatments designed to be both restorative and uplifting. By hand-blending plants, herbs and essences that are specifically chosen for their synergistic effect, ila ensures that the finished product contains only the purest and most vital of nature’s ingredients. Spa treatments harness the potent beneficial properties of these natural raw ingredients to promote a deep sense of well-being while restoring balance to the body and mind and enhancing natural beauty.

ila products use three key ingredients as their base, chosen for their purity and ethical growing conditions:

Damascena rose oil – Harvested from a single source in the foothills of the Himalayas, this is one of the most precious of all essential oils, said to nourish, relax and nurture the emotional and physical heart. One of the finest skin-care oils, it is ideal for dry, sensitive and mature skin.

Argan oil – Wild-grown and cold pressed from the fruits of indigenous argan trees ( Argania spinosa) – known as “the trees of life” in Morocco – this oil is naturally rich in fatty acids, which deeply nourish the skin, and the antioxidant vitamin E, which helps protect the skin against free-radical damage caused by pollution and the sun’s radiation. The precious oil is harvested by Berber women who work together as a co-operative.

Himalayan salt crystals – Mined from deep in the mountains and formed 250 million years ago, these salt crystals contain the ionic forms of minerals, which can be rapidly absorbed into the body. The crystals emit beneficial negative ions when warmed.

ila treatments offered exclusively to guests of Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles include Bio-Energising Body Wrap (90 minutes), Manipura Experience (60 to 90 minutes), Ku Nye Massage (60 minutes), Ananda Facial (60 minutes) and Essential Body Exfoliations (30 minutes).
