Embracing Nature's Wisdom: The Benefits of Vegan Skincare for Healthy, Radiant Skin

It’s quite confusing why we started using petroleum-based products on our skin. These products can block the good stuff from getting into our skin and sometimes, the chemicals used for fragrance can cause headaches and other problems.

Switching to vegan skincare is a smart move for anyone who cares about their skin's health and glow. By choosing products made from natural, plant-based ingredients, you're using the power of nature to heal and protect your skin, while avoiding the risks that come with synthetic chemicals.

Going with vegan skincare isn’t just a fad; it’s about getting back to the traditional ways of taking care of our skin that have worked for centuries.

Vegan skincare means only using natural, plant-based ingredients in products. These products don’t have any animal-derived ingredients, making them not only ethical but also gentler on the skin. Choosing vegan skincare means you’re using products that are less likely to cause irritation, offering a pure and mindful alternative to regular skincare products.

A great example of effective vegan skincare is our Facial Care Set - Rosehip. Specially formulated for those with sensitive, dry, or aging skin, this set addresses common concerns such as dehydration, sensitivity, and the visible signs of aging.

• Facial Cleansing: Infused with soothing green tea and calendula, this gentle cleanser is perfect for sensitive and dry skin types. Green tea, a powerful antioxidant, reduces irritation and redness, while calendula's calming and anti-inflammatory properties soothe delicate skin. This vegan cleanser effectively removes impurities without stripping natural moisture, keeping your skin healthy and hydrated.

• Facial Massage Oil: This luxurious vegan massage oil is packed with apricot kernel oil and lavender. Apricot kernel oil, rich in vitamins E and K, deeply nourishes the skin for a soft, smooth texture. Lavender adds a calming aroma while helping to reduce skin stress and inflammation, making it ideal for sensitive skin. This vegan massage oil supports your skin's elasticity for a healthy, youthful appearance.

• Moisture Cream Rosehip: Our star product, this vegan moisture cream combines the power of rosehip, macadamia, and jojoba oils to deeply moisturize and revitalize your skin. Rosehip oil, known for its anti-aging benefits, helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while also treating dry skin. Macadamia oil, rich in skin-replenishing fatty acids, enhances the skin's barrier function. Jojoba oil, closely mimicking the skin's natural oils, offers optimal absorption and hydration.

Our founder, Ami Nakamura, discovered the magic of rosehip during her early explorations in Tasmania, a land rich with these vibrant berries. Despite suffering painful thorn pricks during her first collection, Ami was captivated by their potential for vegan skincare. Committed to harnessing nature's gifts, she wasn't deterred by the initial discomfort.

Inspired by this natural wonder, Ami's dedication led her to develop a safer rosehip oil extraction method using a sheep's wool comb. This innovative approach ensured the creation of potent rosehip oil without relying on animal-derived ingredients. This star ingredient is now a key component of our Moisture Cream Rosehip.

Ami's passion for vegan skincare is evident in every jar of the Moisture Cream Rosehip. The oil is meticulously tested, including through Ami's own O-ring method, to ensure its suitability for even the most sensitive skin. Her dedication to this approach to skincare shines through in every aspect of the product, embodying our ethos of personal care and natural efficacy.

After applying the rosehip cream consistently for 30 days, Ami noticed a significant transformation in her skin. The lines around her eyes visibly diminished, revealing a smoother, more youthful complexion. This remarkable change not only proved the efficacy of the rosehip cream but also inspired our ongoing commitment to developing vegan skincare solutions that genuinely work. Ami's experience is a testament to the power of natural ingredients and our dedication to providing vegan skincare that nourishes and delivers visible results.

Nature’s Best for Nourishment:

Vegan skincare is full of natural vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help keep your skin healthy. Ingredients like aloe vera, green tea, and tea tree oil fight stress on the skin and refresh it naturally.

No Harsh Chemicals: Many regular skincare products have strong chemicals that can remove natural oils from your skin and mess up its balance. Vegan skincare products, focusing on natural ingredients, avoid these harsh substances.

Great for Sensitive Skin: Because they don’t have animal by-products or strong chemicals, vegan skincare products are generally better for people with sensitive skin. They are gentle and can reduce the chance of skin problems like inflammation and breakouts.

Good for the Planet: Choosing vegan skincare helps support a market that doesn't rely much on animal farming, known for its big environmental impact. Plant-based products often have a smaller carbon footprint, making them a better choice for the environment.

Choosing vegan skincare means using products filled with effective, natural ingredients. Let’s explore some key ingredients in our Facial Care Set - Rosehip, and their benefits for the skin:

• Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis): A powerful antioxidant, green tea reduces skin redness and signs of aging, making your skin more elastic and smooth. It’s included in our Facial Cleansing and Moisture Cream to rejuvenate and protect your skin from environmental damage.

• Calendula (Calendula Officinalis): Known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, calendula helps heal and calm sensitive skin. It’s an integral part of our Facial Cleansing and Moisture Cream, helping to restore and maintain the skin’s natural barrier.

• Apricot (Prunus Armeniaca) Kernel Oil: Rich in vitamins E and K, this oil nourishes and strengthens the skin, keeping it hydrated. Apricot kernel oil is a key component in our Facial Massage Oil, providing a soft, non-greasy texture and promoting vibrant, healthy skin. It also supports the skin’s natural ability to retain moisture, enhancing its texture and resilience against environmental stressors.

• Rosehip (Rosa Canina) Oil: Celebrated for its ability to regenerate skin cells, reduce scars and fine lines, and improve skin moisture levels, rosehip oil is a critical ingredient in our Moisture Cream. Packed with essential fatty acids and vitamins, it is a superb agent for promoting skin health and elasticity.

Choosing vegan skincare aligns your beauty routine with your values, focusing on skin health and environmental care.
