Healthy Skincare Ingredients

Less is more when it comes to ingredients for healthy skincare.

Fresh mint, turmeric, Frankincense, beeswax, honey and Rosemary in small glass containers, signifying pure, fresh and healthy skincare ingredients.

 

There are consequences to applying a chemical 💩 storm of ingredients to your skin twice a day, every day, for years on end. The skyrocketing rates of sensitive skin, rosacea, adult acne and peri-oral dermatitis tell us something is very wrong with modern skincare.

These conditions share a common driver: a damaged skin barrier and disrupted skin microbiome. The result is a dysregulated immune system creating inflammation and irritation. Inflamed skin is red, dry, sensitive and angry.

Common skincare ingredients - preservatives, fragrances and emulsifiers - are convenient for manufacturers in the same way additives are convenient for processed food producers. They create products with long, stable shelf lives. But they don't nourish your skin any more than ultra-processed foods nourish your body.

What are you feeding your skin?

Our Healthy Skin[care] range is formulated by naturopath, nutritionist and herbalist Sarah Luck to contain only ingredients that are best for your skin, non-toxic for your body, safe for the environment and ethically sourced.
