After using natural skincare, 94% of our clients agreed the look and feel of their skin was transformed. The skin was softer, smoother and more supple at a fraction ot the price of commercial products.
Large cosmetics companies are corporations that are designed to generate profit. Your skin's health is not their concern. The bottom line of these corporations is profit. 30% of l'Oreal belong to nestle. Yes! food industry!
Cosmetic often offers nice smell and nice texture, hand made products are much more!
Do You Read Skincare Labels?
- The first ingredient of any product is what makes up the majority of that product. For example; the first ingredient of your cleanser and moisturizer is water, the majority of your cosmetics nothing but water. Let's say you paid $100 your moisturiser made of 80% of water, you actually paid $80 for 50ml of water!
- To get the appellation of “anti-wrinkles” cream, some night moisturisers can contain sunscreen,(usually titianium dioxide or Zinc dioxide). Why to use sunscreen at night?
- To claim about effecting and penetrating the skin, cosmetics must have printed numbers on their labels, it means they have a license and have been animal tested. Cosmetics with no printed number, do not have a license and can not claim about effecting or penetrating the skin.
- Read the small print. The media is trying to impress you and be aware the claims of the products can be misleading, because the law is on your side, they should claim only right information and you will find them in tiny print on the side of the advertised picture or the packaging.
Are you interested in knowing what you are applying to your skin?

Be Soap conscious! Most of the skin care are actually petro-chemical based detergents which are harsh on the skin , damaging the skin 's natural layer of protectives oils, the sebum, leaving it dried and more open to infection.
What causes sensitive skin?
Environmental factors such as stress, pollution, cold weather, drying winds and summer sun, as well as central heater and air conditioning and the quality of tap water can intensify the drying and the ageing of our skin. The repetition days after days of the use of soap with strong chemicals and detergents may result in skin problems or even skin allergies.
Why consider natural skin care?
When we consider the vast array of cosmetic products available in supermarkets and stored in our homes, It is easy to see that we are living in an environment saturated by harsh and potentially damaging chemicals.
Some known environment impacts include:
- Pollution to air and waterways (via waste water system) from non- biodegradable synthetic chemicals. Possibility of substances leading to gene/cell changes, cancer and interference with reproductive processes in organisms.
- Bio-accumulation of toxic chemicals in fatty tissues leading to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), resulting with allergies and skin conditions and Resistance of ‘superbugs’
The easiest way to know which chemicals you are using on your skin is to choose natural ingredients and are safe enough to eat.
Why do I do this?
A few reasons.
-
When I see big name cosmetics that have 2 cents worth of ingredients for $50- $60 and even hundreds of dollars. I get mad!
-
When I see big name cosmetics selling hope, instead of ingredients and misleading the consumers. I get mad!
-
When I see products for bee stings for $17 and realize they were trying to sell me some common household ammonia. I get mad!
-
When I see all the harmful chemicals, preservatives, colorant and fragrances, used in cosmetics and even used in baby products. I get mad!
-
When I see petrol-chemical cosmetics using oils made of animals dead millions years ago, instead of fresh vegetable oil. I get mad!
-
When I see ressources used, waste and pollution created through marketing, manufacturing, packaging and distribution processes. I get mad!
-
When I see pollution to air and waterways via water system from non-biogradable synthetic chemicals. I get mad!
-
When I see bio-accumulation of toxics chemicals in fatty tissues leading to sick building syndrome, allergies and skin conditions. I get mad!
The skin is the largest organ of our body - a barrier between us and the "outside", and our first line of defense against pollution, chemicals, and the germs and dirt of everyday life.
Our skin is also a delicate filtering system, allowing substances to enter our bodies and even our bloodstream (as an example, think of the many medications that are administered through the skin), and helps us eliminate toxins from our systems.
Many of us have dry skin, and most lotions, salves, and oils contain high percentages of mineral oil or other petroleum products.
Unfortunately, mineral oil does not absorb well into the skin, and in fact clogs pores and makes it difficult our skin to eliminate toxins.
Mineral oil is also a non-renewable resource; it is a by-product of the distillation of gasoline from crude oil. Given these facts, it's preferable to use natural vegetable oils as the base ingredient in natural lotions, salves, and moisturizing oils.
Many products also contain colorants, fillers, and fragrances that unfortunately do little except irritate sensitive, delicate skin.
Synthetic fragrances and synthetic ingredients can also exacerbate eczema, pzoriasis, dermatitis, acne and allergies.

Since ancient times fragrances from herbs and flowers have been thought to benefit the body,mind and emotions. Old manuscripts tell us that they were ingredients used in charms and ceremonies, as well as in remedies, cosmetics and food.
In the Middle Ages, in particular, monks cultivated herbs and discovered many of their restorative properties, carefully blending them into liqueurs to be administered to patients. Peppermint and anise oils are just two examples.
Any of the ingredients used in herbal skin creams have long hiss of medicinal use.
-Until the First World War, lavender was used as a wound disinfectant.
-Cleopatra is said to have used aloe vera gel to perpetuate her youth, and Alexander the Great used it to heal the wounds of his soldiers.
-Rosemary stimulates blood flow and was once burned to kill germs in French hospitals.
-Rose water has been used for centuries as an ingredient gentle, cleansing eyewashes.
-Rose-scented geraniums were used through Europe in ointments and poultices.
-Chamomile and calendula have been used to ease pain and swelling.
Herbal skin creams can go a long way towards healing, moisturising and protecting dry skin.
Soapconscious offers hundreds of recipes containing natural ingredients that softest and smooth the skin, such as beeswax and vegetable oils, herbs and essential oils.

What they said:
"I did your baby spa course in August and thoroughly enjoyed it. My friend and I have made some soaps and shower gels and moisturizers and things. I'm currently getting ingredients together to make some Christmas presents for family and friends." Claire
"A little about myself and my goals. My professional background up until now has been mostly in party-plan sales and I wanted to start my own business based around this. Giving Mums, like me, a chance at having a career whilst still having time for their children. I have been experimenting with your products, there are not enough hours in the day to do all I want to do sometimes! I made my first emulsion - I wanted to make a handcream for my mum so I gave it a go. It turned out really well, she wants more for a gift for a friend. I also made some pet spray for my dogs using just .5% essential oils, I did an anti flea and a sensitive skin one. The whole family is using my products :) Thank you for putting me onto mineral makeup, I think it is something I want to pursue." Amelia
"I received my last test and lesson today, thank you. I hope to get it done over the weekend. It is always exciting when the new lesson arrives, to see what yummy things I will be making and new recipes! I am getting my products together, packaging etc, it is the little things that always take more time than expected. I have named my business, it is all falling into place, now all I have to do is sell some products!" Rose
" I have been so busy madly making products so I could sell at my first market on the weekend. It went well, I was pleased with the response. I sold a few hand-creams, some face moisturisers and cleansers, some mossie spray I made up - the area I was selling at is reknowned for it's mossies- and I also sold a bronzer. There are so many more products I want to make for the next one. My website is up but I haven't put in many products yet."Julie
