When I began researching natural products, I learned about the amazing skin care properties of natural oils, herbs and essential oils.  Armed with my new found knowledge, I started reading the labels of lotions and other skin care products in my own cupboard and realized I couldn’t pronounce most of the ingredients.  The products I was using were full of chemical preservatives, petrolatum (petroleum jelly or mineral oil), irritating sulfates (like sodium lauryl sulfate), parabens, and synthetic fragrances or colors.  Even some so called “natural” products aren’t 100% natural, unable to resist inexpensive manufactured ingredients.  There are so many environmental concerns that we can’t control, what we put on our skin shouldn’t be one of them!

I chose natural skin care as the way to go for me and my family and experimented with skin friendly herbs and essential oils such as calendula, chamomile and lavender.  I combined these herbal extracts with natural and organic ingredients such as apricot kernel oil, aloe vera gel, and rose hip seed oil.  I avoided chemicals by using natural preservatives such as grapefruit seed and rosemary extracts.  My first product, Skin Therapy Lotion, successfully helped me to manage my son’s eczema.  Encouraged, I continued to create more natural skin care products carefully designed to meet the needs of my entire family, including me!  The result of my efforts is a natural skin care line that moisturizes and soothes skin for the entire family.  Please join us in feeling the difference that natural makes!
