Paraben & sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner
Let’s rewind for about 15 years. I was five years or so into my massage career and discovered a world of new and wonderful “alternative” ways of living and enjoying life.
When I started massaging, I was brand new to using essential oils. I’d heard of them, and my brother had even given me a book and an oil burner, which I treasured but which were unfortunately used for collecting dust. With baby steps, I started using them in my massage oil, and then I dug out the oil burner and started using it.
Discovering the Power of Essential Oils
When I started reading about each oil’s therapeutic properties, I couldn’t stop thinking about how much they could be used for…. I thought, why are these only being used in oil burners?
I started experimenting with therapeutic oils for clearing up problem skin, which was still a problem for me in my late twenties.
Hormone Interrupters in Personal Products
I stumbled across a wholesaler that made all the bases for the products I wanted to try. Most of the ingredients were organic and if not, natural and safe. In particular free from parabens, sodium lauryl sulphate and synthetic fragrances. I will explain more about parabens and sodium lauryl sulphate in a post specific to these not so nice ingredients unfortunately found in many of the beauty products we use today.
After several months my skin had never looked better. I knew I needed to be a qualified aromatherapist to work with essential oils on a deeper level. So off I went to get my diploma in aromatherapy.
You would be surprised at what products contain sodium lauryl sulphate & parabens....
Product to Market...
Over the next few years, I worked on blends, base products, and the range I could put together. The most frustrating part of this process was knowing where to go first. I needed labels, but I needed a graphic designer first. I spoke to a graphic designer who said I needed packaging first. Then how do I sell it? Online, of course. So then I had to find a web designer. Anyway, it was confusing and time-consuming.
All my products are free from artificial fragrances, colours, SLS and parabens. They contain ingredients to nurture your skin and hair and are not harmful to you or the environment.
