If you’re an observant kinda gal (which we know you are when it comes to all things beauty), you may have noticed that there has been a big move towards skin care products that are free from the nasties – parabens, mineral oil, SLS, and the like.
As a result, lot of beauty brands are working hard to make sure their products are chock-full of the good stuff – namely, pure and natural ingredients, so that your skin is at its best both inside and out.
So if you’re looking to take care of your skin in a more natural way, you might want to stock your beauty cupboard with these goodies:
The Jojoba Company
As the name suggets, the Jojoba Company is based around the jojoba bean and the ‘oil-like’ liquid wax it produces. With properties that mimic youthful skin’s natural function, founder Vicki Engsall is committed to no nasties, chemical or preservative based formulas that complement the skin care benefits of jojoba. What we also love about this brand is that it is 100% Australian made and owned.

What are your favourite natural skin care brands?
I am about 1/3 way through the Salt by Hendrix hyaluronic acid gel. I am really impressed by it. It feels cool to apply and I wake up with a fresh feeling face.
