What We Mean By Natural
Raw Materials - gluten/soy/nut-free
Organic, Naturally Sourced
We strive for transparency, sustainability and quality with our products and offer botanical, food-based formulations and avoid adding what we wouldnât actually eat.
Our gluten/soy/nut-free raw materials are predominately organic, naturally sourced and naturally derived.
Where we can, we even grow some of own ingredients, such as our olive oil from our olive grove on our beautiful 250 acre Adelaide Hills based farm. In some instances we utilise nature-identical compounds such as vitamins or other naturally occurring classes of ingredients, that are not only generally recognised as safe, but widely accepted to be conducive to general good health.
Green Methods
As Nature Intended
We are not only discerning with our starting materials, but we also carefully analyse their processing methods as well, vetting them through our âCustodian Modelâ, which ensures they meet certain criteria, so they remain as close as possible to their original state, as nature intended. For example, we allow more minimal processing methods such as fermentation or saponification (used to create soap), but would not accept more significant processing methods such as ethoxylation or quaternisation, where compounds are considerably transformed, and no longer considered natural.Â
Our Custodian Model also helps us select materials that have been processed through âgreenâ methods, designed to minimise impact on the environment.
Tried and True Ingredients
History of Traditional Use
We tend toward tried and true ingredients with a long history of traditional use, preferably with additional in-vivo clinical data and a large body of scientific literature to prove efficacy and specific skin benefits.Â
We have spent the last decade formulating for the Day Spa industry, and have trialed our formulas on literally on thousands and thousands of people, particularly those with sensitive skin, and we eagerly wait for the opportunity to help you too.
