Australia’s only Naturopathically Formulated and Certified Organic Skincare
Australia’s only Naturopathically Formulated and Certified Organic Skincare
We’ve just drawn the January winner for our monthly competition that asks entrants to tell us why using organic skincare is important to you (or why you want to make the change to organic skincare).
I love reading through these entries each month as we get some inspiring (and hilarious) answers. Here are a few of my favourites that might encourage you to make the switch (if you haven’t already done so):
“Because I don’t have to worry when my 1 year old learns how to open my jar of face cream and eats the entire tub.”
“Because they are made with superior ingredients. It’s like cooking, better ingredients mean better results. Those with sensitive skin like myself can especially benefit from organic beauty products that contain high quality ingredients.”
“Harmful chemicals in my products make me see RED! (Not in anger but in allergens)”
“There’s so much about my health and wellbeing that I can’t control, so I love the idea of taking charge and making a change in an area where I’ll see and feel immediate results.”
“It’s my dog’s favourite! She especially loves licking the ultimate SOS balm. I think it makes her coat shiny and has improved her health with all those organic ingredients.”
“We don’t smoke so we don’t hurt our lungs, we avoid drinking so we don’t hurt our liver, but we all use non-organic skincare and hurt our skin every day! If you can’t eat it, why would you let it inside your body?”
“Roses are red, violets are blue, organic skincare is the bomb for you.”
“I need to change my complete skincare products to organic because I’m tired of supporting all these international companies that use harmful substances in their products and promote them as beauty. These chemicals can have detrimental effects on mine and my family’s health. I also want to set an example for my daughter so that I can instill healthier habits.”
Want to share your reasons for making the switch to organic skincare? We'd love to hear from you!
When my skin looks and feels good, I feel amazing. But this is not as easily achieved as I get older. The decrease of hormones available in my body in my current state of perimenopause plays a huge factor in how well my skin stays hydrated and how it looks. Progesterone and oestrogen play many roles in the skin’s health, in particular the stimulation of skin sebum (the skin’s natural oils), the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid (which keeps skin thick and plump), and the stability of the skin’s barrier (which affects skin sensitivity, amongst other things).
We are so excited to announce that we have won seven awards in the international Beauty Shortlist Awards, making us Australia's most awarded natural and organic skincare range. These awards are held annually and showcase the very best of beauty products from around the world.
And the winners are...
Our skin is a creature of habit and it loves a routine. When you suddenly change the products you have been applying to it – either by adding in products or by changing products completely – you will very often see a reaction in one form or another. This reaction can be either good or bad. A good reaction sees your skin improve. A bad reaction is very often a skin purge. Let's talk more about skin purges, why they happen and what you can do to lessen their effect.
