Well its mostly Ray, your formulator.

Sometimes I have a helper or two but 98% of the time it’s me, growing, sourcing, infusing, blending and bottling oils and creams for us all.

I’ve always been passionate about clean beauty. It started when I was in my 20’s and I was told that most woman (likely men too now), start the day by putting 12 products on their skin! I freaked. Then I started counting. It starts with toothpaste, cleanser, shampoo, conditioner, toner, serum/oil, moisturiser (face & body), tanner, sunblock, perfume, hair products, makeup…..well thats more than 12 already.

It’s fine and luxurious to apply so many wonderful products into our routine BUT, how many chemicals are in each product? I replaced all the chemical bottles and jars (cleaning products included) and replaced them all with products free from parabens, SLS, and phthalates. I was a warrior! I would buy people natural products and inspire the change, starting with the children.

We all know that what you put on your skin matters. Using only safe ingredients that work in harmony with your skin’s natural function is key.

I’m radically transparent: every product is labelled with its list of natural ingredients, so you always know exactly what you’re putting on your skin. I avoid all preservatives created synthetically and don’t allow aqua into my formula’s, except for some that require it.

I love oils and butters so I’m messing with them all day. I’m an oily woman and wouldn’t live without them. I believe my skin has stood the test of time using oils for 25 years, and I certainly feel the changes in texture and hydration when I add something new (which is often).

A synthetic product mostly always has a natural alternative, so be natural and free from unnecessary synthetic chemicals!

You owe it to yourself and your loved ones.
