My Why…
Starting menopause, I experienced horrendous hot flushes resulting in severe sleeplessness. In searching for a natural way to manage that, I learnt that my skincare products, shampoo, conditioner, make-up, laundry detergent and softener contributed to my symptoms! I discovered that these products contained toxins that disrupted my oestrogen and progesterone balance: preservatives (parabens), artificial fragrances (phthalates) and ingredients to produce a smooth product (Sulphates) which made the night sweats, sleeplessness, and mood swings worse!
At the time, and to my dismay, I discovered that there were no skincare products available without these toxic chemicals. The thought occurred that I’m not a pharmacist for nothing, so I set out to formulate and create skincare products that were safe for my body and friendly to my hormones. I gave some as gifts to friends, and they were impressed, wanting to purchase some. And voila, my skincare range was born in New Zealand in 2017, and I’ll be sharing this with you.
My products:
My aim is to create, professionally produce and provide toxin free, high quality, handcrafted products from carefully selected organic natural ingredients (wherever possible). The purpose is to regenerate cellular processes, enabling our body’s natural innate healing ability to restore, balance and improve our health and beauty from the inside out – starting at a cellular level.
My products are preservative free, as most preservatives are hormone disruptors, with the cleanser and scrub as exceptions, as they contain an eco-preservative that does not disrupt hormones. As a result, I make a fresh batch at the end of each month. Therefore, I recommend a shelf life of about 30-60 days. Some women have stretched it beyond that, and while the products do not lose efficacy, ‘fingers going into pots’ does introduce a certain amount of contamination that cannot be prevented.
Our products are bespoke, made to order and we do not carry any additional stock. We produce a fresh batch on the last Friday of each month (usually) and your ‘parcel of happiness’ is sent out by courier.
