Seed to store

When you think about the ingredients in your skin care products, do you ever stop to think about where they actually come from? I mean, apart from envisaging a factory, or scientists hard at work in a laboratory, do you ever wonder where the botanicals included in your products are actually grown? I know I didn’t. But then I visited the Jurlique farm and walked through fields and fields of crops; and followed the farm workers as they handpicked botanicals; and stood inside the drying room; and saw how precious oils were extracted. And it was only then that I really started to think about where my cosmetics came from. You see Jurlique beauty products aren’t like your run-of-the-mill beauty products. The key botanicals used in each and every one of its formulations are farmed using a combination of biodynamic and Certified Organic methods, which enables them to produce the most powerful naturally-derived active ingredients for your skin care needs – while simultaneously protecting and preserving the environment. But it goes even further than that; thanks to this hands-on farming method, Jurlique has the unique ability to follow the journey of every botanical harvest, right through from seeding to when it hits the store! This means that Jurlique can pretty much track the day that the roses used in your Rose Hand Cream were picked, or know exactly when the calendula essence in your Calendula Redness Rescue Restorative Treatment Serumwas extracted from the flower. Pretty amazing, given that it’s often extremely difficult to find out the exact origin of the foods we eat, never mind the ingredients we put on our skin. Add to all of that some top-notch scientific research and development, and you’ve got a great Australian grown, born and made brand whose products utilise the best natural produce and deliver effective skin care results, without compromising the environment.
