About the Spa

Illumination Spa has chosen to offer vegan and mostly organic supplies for the simple reason of a sustainable earth and a healthy body and mind. Certain chemicals within a lot of the spa industries products are harmful and toxic to the body. Products for years claimed they were "safe" and that the chemicals within the products caused no lasting or long term effects to the body. It is now being discovered otherwise. They are finding that certain chemicals that were used on the public for years are carcinogenic to the human body and so we want to use products that we know in 10 years they are not going to come back and tell the public that they have toxic chemicals and materials that contain carcinogens in them.

Hurraw Balms

Hurraw! Balm lives in Whitefish, Montana; a tiny ski town nestled among the amazing peaks of Glacier National Park. We started out of pure intent; a personal obsession to create the perfect balm: all natural, vegan, made from premium raw, organic and fair trade ingredients...complete with a bunch of natural and fun flavor options! It also had to meet some tough criteria...

Criteria: Super smooth, not draggy, not sticky, not sweet, not too glossy, not too smelly, never grainy, long lasting; plus, it had to hold up to being in a back jeans pocket all day without melting! It took us several obsessed years to formulate Hurraw! Balm and put it through all the rigors. We love it, use it, and hope you do too!

Hurraw! Balm is a Certified Vegan product! "Vegan" means no animal products (ie: beeswax) are included in our product. We are proud to also be CCIC approved. The CCIC provides the leaping bunny logo which assures our cruelty free standards (no animals are used/harmed/tested on in any stage of the manufacture of our product, including our suppliers).


Vegan nail laquers that are free of DBP, Formaldehyde, and Toluene.


SpaRitual Vegan Nail Laquers

Color has the physiological power to soother, nurture, or ignite. By fusing the disciplines of color therapy and numerology, SpaRitual has designed a lush, shimmering palette of over 80 nail lacquers orchestrated in a range of four dynamic harmonies. Each SpaRitual shade is associated with a unique message or meaning and numerological value. Our color experts have carefully hand-blended each hue for superior shine, dry time, and coverage.

With over 50 years of experience and extensive research that has proven the effectiveness of Eminence's superior spa treatments, special care is given to choosing and developing the most effective scientific combinations of fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs.

Eminence Skin Care

Eminence believes in providing the best skin care products that are safe for your skin and therefore are proudly free of parabens, animal by-products, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfates, harmful colorants and fragrances, mineral oils, petroleum, and other harsh cosmetic chemicals. Celebrating over 50 years of supporting beautiful skin care is an achievement of which to be proud. Creating products that are kind to the environment is even more reason for pride.

Eminence is committed to being the industry leader in keeping our planet green and has always been concerned about the environment; since its inception in 1958, the company has been using sustainable farming and green practices to create organic products-long before the green movement was hot. Eminence is constantly looking for ways to reduce its carbon footprint, from the harvest and production of products to how they are packaged and, finally, how they reach spa clients.

Over the past years, Eminence has stepped up its green factor by enlisting wind and solar power energy in the making of products, using recyclable packaging, vegetable-based inks in printing, FSC certified post-consumer recycled paper and with our Beyond Organic line created with Biodynamic farming practices. The company is committed to providing the best quality skin care while being environmentally responsible.

Illumination Spa is proud to use Dr. Alakaitis 100% organic-vegan skin care products.

Use Dr. Alkaitis skin care products every day as part of the steps towards your healthy lifestyle while preserving your skin and natural beauty.

To radiate and shine with an inner glow, your internal and external body must be in perfect health and harmony. Additionally, your skin care products do not only affect the way you look but also, the way you feel - inside and out. Your skin is the largest organ of the body, reflecting our states of vitality. Caring for it is not merely a quest towards superficial beauty, but an integral investment towards preventive health self-care.

As a research scientist investigating cancer treatments using plant life, Dr. Alkaitis concludes that there is indeed a correlation between our society's dependence on synthetic chemicals and the rapid increase in people suffering from cancer, disease and other degenerative illnesses. In probing the ingredient labels on products in the marketplace that are marked: 'pure' and/or 'natural' cosmetics, he discovered that these supposedly 'pure' products were actually constructed, derived, created from chemicals. Chemical-derived natural products do not support your skin's natural ability to heal.

Applying the synergy of science and nature, Dr. Alkaitis has created the Alkaitis Holistic Organic Skin Treatment Product line. These authentic natural products are steps towards your pure approach to beauty that is 'more than skin deep'. He discovered that only organically-grown plants or those harvested from the unpolluted wilderness contain the superior therapeutic properties. For you, this discovery means that each and every one of the Dr. Alkaitis skin care products are created exclusively via organically grown or wild-crafted plants and unpolluted sea life. Our herbal extracts are made in-house with pure water, certified organic grape alcohol and/or vegetable glycerins. To preserve the healing power of our products, we blend only small batches at a time. Simply pure and natural.

All life springs from the Earth and within this truth is the foundation of Dr. Alkaitis Skin Care.
