The recipes given in these courses and workshops are simple and use common, yet effective all-natural ingredients to create exquisite formulas that pamper and soothe everyone, everyday.

Home made skin cares are fresh, natural, with no synthetical colour, fragrance or preservative.

No need of harmful chemicals to achieve texture, color, fragrance and a life shelf of several years!

The ingredients recommended have been chosen both for their therapeutic properties as well as their availability. You can make your recipes again and again.

Do not limit your preparations to the ingredients recommended in these courses. Once you have mastered the basics, the possibilities are infinite.

After years of collecting my favourite recipes, I feel I can pass on information that will not only save you time but also to save you from annoying trial-and-error procedures.

As well as containing pure plant ingredients your preparations will contain lots of love- a truly special ingredient.

• Your products can follow the Australian seasons, the avaibility of the herbs, the feedback of your family or clients. As long you use the best, the purest and the finest ingredients.Your products will contain the energetic and therapeutic benefices of the plants, vitamins and nutrients. The fragrances are from  herbs, plants, flowers, roots, seaweed, bark, honey, vegetable oils and the precious essentials oils. The colors are given by micca and Australian clays and we use filtered rain water or floral waters.

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 -  Many of us have dry skin because 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. 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.

 My Mission

I believe to offer alternative affordable real natural high quality skin cares, to the huge cosmetic industry which is based on money making and advertising, promoted largely by the Medias.

I believe in being "freelance" to exercise freedom of speech and keeping demystifying the cosmetic industries.

I believe in buying only from companies that test for safety without the involvement of animals. I believe in promoting Australian industries and Australian small businesses and producers.

I believe that my courses are good value, that the students are going to share plenty real useful information.

I believe in protecting the world's and specially Australian's, environment, animal rights, human rights and civil rights.

I believe in the concept of caring for the students or clients , helping each other and working together for offering 'REAL NATURAL" superior quality  products to answer the need of people skin.
