Skin is the largest organ of the body and although it is waterproof, what we apply to our skin is absorbed into our blood stream, if this was not the case then pain relieving and nicotine patches would not work. What we apply to our lips is also ingested.  When we understand this we realise that it is far healthier to use products on our skin that are safer to ingest and absorb into our bodies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mineral oils may appear to moisturise the skin but in fact they create a film on the surface of the skin and with long term use suppress its normal healthy functioning. It does not contain any vitamins or fatty acids and can even prevent the skin from being able to absorb fat soluble vitamins. 

 

The skin becomes dependent on more applications and this can result in a detioration of the skin and its healthy functioning.  This is often seen in people who need to constantly use lip balms.

 

Baby Oil is often made of 100% mineral oil.

 

Mineral oil is very cheap and has a long shelf life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fragrances are used in nearly all skin care products even in 'natural' products to make the product more appealing and to conceal the orginal fragrance of the products. Although the product smells good these synthetic fragrances not only do not have any benefit to the skin, but also can cause skin problems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Often derived from animal products (calf foetuses), I once read a shocking artical explaining how in China the skin from dead prisoners was being used for collagen and sold to the skin care industry.

 

Active Ingredients 

Even if a product does contain active ingredients, often it is tiny quantities and mixed with harmful chemical ingredients.

 

 

 Especially For You

 

 

 

Vegetable oils are readily absorbed by the skin, most vegatable oils contain vitamins which are vital for healthy skin functioning such as vitamin A, D and E. As they are absorbed they feed the skin and help it to function healthier. They help the skin retain its own moisture levels more effectively. 

 

They also contain Essential Fatty Acids which are also good for the skin.  Each vegetable has its own therapeutic properties, whether it be rejuvenating, healing, or even reducing the size of pores.

 

Each vegetable oil is carefully chosen to meet your skins requirements and blended in the correct ratio to bring you excellent results.

 

 

 

Each essential oil has unique therapeutic properties and after a detailed consultation the correct essential oils are chosen whether it be do rejuvenate, heal, or to help skin or hair care problems

I source only the highest qualitity essential oils.

 

Essential oils are absorbed by your skin and can have a physical effect on your body's systems, they also have a psychological effect when you inhale them as our sense of smell is directly linked to the brain. Essential oils have relaxing and uplifiting properties and this is also taken into account when choosing the right oils for you.
