Uplift and refresh - all day protection with Natralus lemon myrtle deodorant. Another amazing and efffective natural product from Natralus Australia. Their natural deodorant was runner up in the beauty heaven Best of Beauty Awards 2022. I am so happy I have discovered this brand and wish I had done so sooner. Natralus also supports a large range of charities and organisations throughout the year.  I have been using Natralus lemon myrtle natural deodorant for a while now. I tend to sweat more in winter because I'm wearing so many layers of jumpers and jackets to work and I become really self conscious of how much I am sweating, the worst part is arriving home at the end of the day and my good blazers are not smelling so great! This deodorant leaves me feeling fresh all day and does not leave any white stains behind on clothing, which is something I have noticed with some other natural deodorants.
I have given this deodorant a very good test run, all day long in a busy heated environment, on weekends going out shopping, long walks on the beach and yoga classes. This vegan and eco-friendly deodorant works extremely well. I don't sweat as much as I used to and I don't have any odour problems. I also love that the deodorant is gentle on my skin. I have very sensitive skin, and I haven't had any irritation or breakouts, I can even use it straight after shaving. The ingredients are all natural and kind to your skin, at the same time equally or even more effective as a chemical laden deodorant, without the harsh side effects and actually caring for your skin. An important factor is that this is aluminum free, aluminum is a controversial ingredient that has been linked to a number of health problems, including breast cancer. This deodorant is a safe and effective way to keep your underarms feeling fresh and clean without the use of aluminum. Lemon myrtle is a natural herb that has antibacterial properties, so it helps to keep armpits free of odor-causing bacteria. It also has a fresh, citrusy uplifting scent that I really enjoy. Sage extract is a natural ingredient that is often used in deodorants because of its antibacterial and deodorizing properties. Sage extract contains compounds that can kill odor-causing bacteria, as well as compounds that can help to absorb sweat. Aloe vera extract helps to soothe and protect skin. The aloe vera plant is non-irritating and less likely to cause allergic reactions than some other ingredients found in deodorants. It helps to reduce body odour and reduce the growth of bacteria. Aloe vera is a natural humectant, which means that it helps to draw moisture into the skin. This can help underarms feel soft and smooth all day long and less irritated. Rosemary is a herb that has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. It is a natural antibacterial and antifungal agent, which means that it can help to reduce the growth of bacteria and fungus that cause body odor. Rosemary also has astringent properties, which can help to tighten the pores and reduce sweating. Rosemary has a fresh, invigorating scent that can help to keep you feeling awake and alert throughout the day. Vanilla extract contains vanillin, which has been shown to have antibacterial properties. This means that it may help to reduce the growth of bacteria that cause body odor. Vanilla is a naturally sweet and pleasant scent that can help to mask body odor. Witch hazel extract is an all time favourite ingredient of mine. It is a natural product from the witch hazel plant that has been used for it's antibacterial properties. It can also help to reduce redness, swelling and infection. I can highly recommend Natralus natural deodorants as a great option for people who are looking for a safe and effective way to reduce body odor. Paraben free, cruelty free and and the packaging is a recycable glass bottle. They also come in a beautiful range of natural scents, I'm looking forward to trying the Cool Spice and Sea Berry next. Available at Natralus Australia.

Natural paw paw strawberry lip butter I have been using the Natralus strawberry paw paw lip butter for a few weeks now and I am very impressed with it. My lips are usually dry and chapped, especially in winter, but this lip butter has really helped to keep them hydrated and soft. The texture of the lip butter is smooth and creamy, and it goes on easily without being greasy. It also has a light, natural pleasant scent as it is infused with natural strawberry extract, which I love, the strawberry scent brings me back to my childhood and summer days. It gives a long lasting hydration and is non-sticky. Perfect to wear as a natural gloss during the day, giving lips a healthy looking glow. The lip butter is also enriched with other natural ingredients, such as shea butter, beeswax, and vitamin E, which help to hydrate and protect lips. I would definitely recommend Natralus paw paw lip butter to anyone who is looking for a natural, moisturizing lip balm. It is effective at healing chapped lips and it leaves my lips feeling soft and smooth. I also like that it is free of artificial fragrances and colors. This is one that you would want to keep in your handbag at all times, especially if you're working in an office environment with heating/air conditioning and that dry office air. Applying this is a nice pick me up and keeps lips feeling soft all day. Natural paw paw balm Natralus paw paw balm is a natural, multi-purpose balm that is made with the extract of high potency paw paw fruit. The balm is also enriched with other natural ingredients, such as shea butter, coconut butter, calendula and vitamin E, which help to hydrate and protect the skin. It has a slightly thicker consistency to the lip butter. My skin is usually dry and sensitive, especially in winter, but this balm has really helped to keep it hydrated and soft. The texture of the balm is smooth and creamy, and it goes on easily without being greasy. It also has a light, pleasant natural scent. I have used this paw paw balm on my lips, face, hands, and feet, and it has worked wonders on all of them. I particularly like to use this on my hands and cuticles, it has helped to soften the painful, dry cuticles I tend to get in winter. I've been keeping it on my bedstand and use it as a hand cream and foot cream, especially on my cracked heals. Also great for treating dry, sore sensitive skin around the nose area after having a cold or bad hay fever, a great natural alternative to vaseline. Overall, I think this paw paw balm is a great option for a natural, moisturizing balm. It is effective at healing dry skin and it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. I would definitely recommend it to others. I have extremely dry skin and this helped when other products have failed. It has also helped to strengthen my nails and stop them from breaking. These are very high quality natural products which have been dermatologically tested and also very affordable. Available at Natralus Australia and Coles Supermarkets nationwide.
 Brisbane-based clothing label BeauTex Designs (BeauTex) has just announced an exciting new collection of sustainably sourced, bleach resistant, and ethically made workwear in collaboration with hair industry powerhouse Tabatha Coffey.
The Tabatha by BeauTex range is made from 100 per cent recycled plastic bottles, turning would-be trash into a textile must-have. The sleek black fabric is bleach resistant and boasts stylish, gender-neutral designs durable enough to withstand the harsh chemicals for the modern urban worker. BeauTex founder, Brooke Jones, is actively and passionately changing the landscape of Australian textile design with conscious manufacturing by diverting everyday trash from ending up in landfill and oceans. “Once I started in textile design and manufacturing, I became aware of the serious environmental impact that clothing manufacturing has on the planet, and that drove my passion for setting about changing the process behind it,” Ms. Jones said. “Learning about the unbelievable amount of plastic waste combined with the end-of-life textile waste from workwear opened my eyes to what was going on, so I decided to offer a solution to the industry that tackled both.” “I wanted to have the greatest impact possible, and workwear was the way to do that by targeting an industry that mass produces textiles that are often overlooked, such as capes, aprons and promotional t-shirts.” Australian hairstylist, salon owner, coach, Master NLP Practitioner, certified hypnotherapist, and global brand ambassador for Matrix, Tabatha Coffey also saw and understood the need for such a necessary change in the fashion industry. With her creative passions and belief that sustainable living is the only way forward, a collaboration with BeauTex was a no-brainer for Ms. Coffey. “These clothes are designed with inspired distinction, blending creativity, comfort & boldness with sustainable living,” Ms. Coffey said. The 2021 capsule collection is designed to be gender-neutral with all body types in mind and encourages diversity, versatility, and inclusiveness with seven core styles, including a waterfall jacket, a hoodie dress, leggings, a round neck top, harem pants, a tunic blouse and a tie front shirt. It’s a range that can be mixed and matched and worn to the wearers own unique taste and style and will continue to release six new styles per year. The black recycled polyester fabric is made from 100 per cent RPET (repurposed plastic bottles) through a process whereby the RPET is flaked, pelletised and extruded into yarn and finally woven into a textile. The whole process is an incredibly sustainable option for solving plastic and textile waste as it eliminates the use of crude oil usually required to make virgin polyesters, saving up to 300,000 tonnes of emissions for every 100,000 capes converted to the BeauTex textile. “We are incredibly proud to say that the Tabatha by BeauTex range has diverted 180,122 bottles from landfill, saving 3,737kg of carbon emissions which is equal to 470,113 smartphone charges. It’s a massive achievement.” Ms. Jones said. In addition, BeauTex also only uses OEKO-TEX approved dyes which are 3rd party tested to ensure no toxins are released into the environment and waterways during the dying process. BeauTex is also Global Recycling Standards certified and are a proud member of Sedex, an ethical trade membership organisation that helps businesses maintain responsible practices and sourcing. Throughout all of their innovation regarding how the BeauTex textile is made, quality and durability have always been a top priority for Ms. Jones. The four-way stretch technically woven polyester built to the highest durability standard with moisture-wicking technology included. Each piece of the collection has been tested for the highest grade of anti-pilling standards whilst maintaining its bleach and hair resistant feature, making it easy to care for and long-lasting. As part of the BeauTex mission to support women and drive impactful change, $1 from the sale of each product in the Tabatha by BeauTex range will donate to Hair Aid, a non-profit organisation that works globally to make a difference and create change by teaching people living in critical poverty the skill of hair cutting. Working with the right people who understand and feel just as passionately about their vision for better manufacturing practices is an integral part of the BeauTex brand. As part of this mission, BeauTex also supports job creation for social enterprises by providing orders that help these organisations grow and provide further training, further education and better manufacturing practices for people and the planet. For more information on the collection, visit BeauTex Designs Blue Tansy Facial Oil from Peggy Sue is at the top of my favourite organic beauty products. The colour, the feel, the beautiful scent. It feels like I'm placing a magical forest elixir on my face made by pixies and elves. This blue tansy oil has now replaced the retinol I was using every night recently. It is much kinder to my skin and I feel it has made my skin feel even more plump and soft than the retinol cream I was using. The magical natural scent smells like a misty forest with mysterious flowers starting to open up and reveal their scent and beauty secrets. It makes me feel like I'm doing something amazing for myself and my skin, rather than how I feel when I'm using products which aren't natural.  I love the stunning blue colour of this oil, I place a few drops onto the palm of my hand and smooth it onto my face, neck and decolletage. It melts into my skin without feeling too greasy and leaves my skin looking dewy and fresh. It contains the perfect amount of natural oils for my oily/combination skin. The aromatherpy properties help me to relax at night and get me into a calm state of mind.  This is a very unique product, as it contains so many beautiful organic herbal ingredients which you won't commonly find elsewhere. The main ingredients is blue tansy, combined with milk thistle and jojoba oil. Blue tansy oil comes from the blue tansy flower, which is part of the chamomile family, it is also known as morrocan chamomile. This is explains why the scent makes me feel so calm. It is also full of anti-oxidants and is anti-inflamatory, which is great for sensitive skin and acne prone skin, it reduces redness and helps to calm skin down, this has a beautiful effect on my skin after being in the sun too much. Jojoba oil is my all time favourite for natural skin care products. It mimics the sebum naturally produced by skin and balances moisture levels. It's also an oil which will keep for a very long time as it has a very long shelf life. Milk thistle, when applied topically has comparable skin benefits to applying vitamin C and E. It is full of antioxidants and is the perfect choice to be combined with blue tansy. This serum also contains a stunning array or fruit oils including watermelon, blueberry and acai! I love this oil so much, it appeals to the mystic in me with it's mysterious blue colour and scent of the forest. It makes my skin feel like it's being nourished by nutrients it was missing before. Suitable for all skin types and be found at Peggy Sue, an ethical Australian brand run by women who know the importance of self care.  Scandinavian Biolabs innovative plant based hair growth products use 100 percent natural ingredients to help hair growth and prevent hair loss, naturally. They work with leading experts in the field to ensure the effectiveness and safety of each and every product. Their natural formulas are produced in their own lab in Denmark. I really love how they have combined nature with science. There is one major sign of looking attractive and healthy and that is having beautiful, shiny hair. As we age, our hair can start to become less thick and become brittle. Even in women, it may start to thin out and we wonder what happened to our once lustrous mane of hair. But, there is something we can do about it. Bioscandinavian labs have developed their naturally formulated products to help hair grow back to it's shining glory. There are many organic or natural shampoos out there, but this is the first natual shampoo which has literally helped to grow my hair, using clinically proven ingredients.  This hair loss may even happen in our 20's, with a condition known as Alopecia, which can be caused be a hormonal imbalance, vitamin deficiency, exposure to toxins or even when under severe stress. It can be devastating when this happens, as you feel a loss of control, especially if you don't understand why this is happening and have no idea what you can do about it. These innovative hair care products can help to give you back the confidence you may have lost through hair loss.  Scandinavian Biolabs have created a 3 step system to help you recover your hair to it's healthy and natural state - Step 1 - Strength Shampoo This shampoo contains some amazing natural ingredients, one of my favourites being Niacimide(B3), which, from experience, has helped me to get my hair back thick and shiny. I actually take B3 internally as a vitamin, so am very happy to find it in a hair growth shampoo, as I know this ingredient really works to help thicken and grow hair (it's also amazing for skin repair). Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract is a seed extract of the amaranthus plant. It's an ancient plant known as “the golden grain”. It contains a high amount of peptides and helps to repair damaged hair. It is also rich in fatty acids and squalene which makes it a great mousturizer emollient. Also containing the wonderful Aloe, did you know aloe also helps hair loss by repairing damaged cells in the scalp? This also helps boost hair growth and improves the health of hair follicles. Aloe is an amazing plant. This shampoo moisturises and prevents dandruff. Step 2 - Recovery Conditioner A great conditioner which helps to detangle and protect hair without leaving it feeling greasy and heavy. Helps to heal damaged hair, in turn helping to prevent split ends and dry hair. It contains a nourishing amino acid called Alanine which neutralises static electric and helps to control hair frizz. I'm someone who sometimes suffers from 'static hair' and this helps alot. Also contains histidine and phenylalanine which help sustain hair elasticity. Alanine also aids in preventing hair loss. The basic amino acids enhance hair strength and shine, while neutral amino acids implement hair smoothness and silkiness. Also contains aloe, amino acid blend, cucuma and hydrolyzed quinoa. Step 3 - Growth serum This serum contains some amazing ingredients, one which stands out is Zinc PCA, which strengthens the roots of hair which in turn helps to prevent hair loss. This also helps to control oily hair and dandruff. Also contains an ingredient called Vanillyl Butyl Ether (HotFlux®). This delivers nutrients and hormones to the root of the hair. This ingredient helps with hair loss and also promotes hair growth at the same. Also contains the active ingredients Aloe, Amino acid blend, curcuma and Niacinamide. These products also contain caffeine which is one of the best ingredients to help with hair loss. Caffeine helps promote hair growth straight from the roots. It targets a hormone called DHT, which is a cause of hair loss. Caffeine is one of the main ingredients you want in your hair growth products. ✓ Reduces Hair Loss and Stimulates Growth ✓ Cleanses while Protecting and Nurturing Hair & Scalp ✓ Perfect Conditions for Sustainable Hair Growth ✓ All-Natural and 100% Vegan ✓ Preserves Natural Oils ✗ No Sulfate | No Silicone | No Paraben I have been using this hair care system for a few months now I feel that my hair has become alot more thick and definitely less brittle. I have had no bad side effects. I love the natural clean scent of each product.
Each ingredient has been scientifically proven to be successful and through my own research I can tell that this company is the real deal. Available at - Scandinavian Biolabs There is also a great range for men too. Peggy Sue are an ethical Australian organic beauty brand, run by Alysha and Shanah, based on the South Coast of New South Wales. Two women who are passionate about helping others through self care. They know how important it is, especially during hard times, to have a safe, nourishing and beautiful skin care routine. Who doesn't love a bath filled with luxurious oils and flowers! Peggy Sue Body and Bath oil is a luxurious organic oil infused with delicate gomphrena globosa flowers and some of my favourite natural anti-aging ingredients. Admittedly I first wanted this oil when I laid my eyes on the stunningly beautiful glass bottle filled with pretty flowers, the nourishing oil my dry skin was craving was an added plus!  I usually look for products which contain jojoba or coconut oil, as these are two of my favourite ingredients for helping my skin stay soft and moisturised. When I first started using organic products, jojoba was the oil I turned to first, I have to say, it's still my number one. Jojoba is the closest thing we can get to our skin, it actually isn't an oil, it's a wax ester, which means it's not heavy and greasy like some other oils. It comes from a nut-like seed of the jojoba plant. Wax ester is a component of our own sebum, the oil our skin naturally produces, so this makes jojoba an excellent oil to balance our skin. Coconut oil is another long term favourite of mine, the reason coconut oil is great is it can penetrate all layers of your skin, it absorbs really well and also doesn't leave skin feeling oily. Coconut oil boosts collagen production, so it helps to strengthen underlying tissues and prevent wrinkles. I used to buy the big tubs of it and smother myself in it!, but the quality wasn't great compared to the high quality organic coconut oil in Peggy Sue's bath and body oil. It's an all together different pampering experience, day spa quality! Grapefruit oil is the other main ingredient, which I am quite new to, but I love it. It's high in Vitamins A and C, which are two of the best vitamins in helping keep skin youthful and supple. Rather than turning to harmful retinol A creams and synthetic vitamin C lotions, this is by far the better option and one which I will be using. This is such a lovely lightweight oil, good for all skin types, I have combination skin, slightly oily and dry. This really is the perfect body oil. It's wonderful and soothing for sensitive skin and itchy legs, I use it all over. Wonderful on the decollatage area too. The oil has a delicate soft vanilla scent.  This oil has helped me rediscover how relaxing it feels to have a bath again, espceially one filled with amazing oils and delicate flowers. I hope you can rediscover this too, it's so important to pamper and take care of yourself using top quality organic ingredients.
No parabens, sulphates, synthetics, palm oil or artificials. The bottles are made of printed glass which can be recycled, this also means no printed stickers, what a great idea for sustainability! I also find the entire Peggy Sue range to be very affordable for such high quality organic products. Available at - Peggy Sue - helping you to feel beautiful while preserving the beauty in the world around you.

ESK is an Australian cosmeceutical brand created by Dr. Ginni, a very well known and respected doctor in Australia. Together with her husband and a team of doctors, dermatologists and scientists, she created the ESK range with the aim of producing amazing skin care products which are evidence based, ethical and easy to use. This appealed to me greatly as I think it's not only important to use natural skin care, but to also combine it with thorough research and science to back it up. I have been using the ESK normal skin anti-aging kit every day for the past few months and I’m very confidant in saying that their skin care is one of the very best I have used. The results on my skin are evidence enough. I have received compliments on my skin and people have asked me how I’m turning back the clock. This is the only change I have made, so it really is called evidence based skin care for a reason. I particularly noticed a major improvement in my under eye area, the dark circles and puffiness disappeared. I developed a smoother and overall even and vibrant complexion. My cheeks and the lines around my mouth also felt more plumped up and tightened. Before and after photo -  I originally did a review for the ESK Ultimate A moisturiser and was so was impressed with the effects of it's hero ingredient, retinal, a Vitamin A derivative, that I was more than happy to test out one of their full kits. When ESK suggested the following kit for me after filling out their online questionnaire, I couldn't wait to see what the results would be on my skin. I loved the convenience of this as it’s always hard to know which products are best for my skin, it takes lot of experimenting and spending alot of money on products which might not be the best for my type of skin and they end up sitting on the bathroom shelves for years. All you do is fill out the questions on their skin survey and they will get back to you with an email. It also saves money on having expensive skin care consultations in a salon and for those times when it’s hard for us to leave the house. There are 5 bottles in a kit which come in a high quality white zipped bag which you’ll be able to re-use as a make-up bag :)  1- Hydroxy cleanser A beautiful fresh cleanser containing hydroxy acids which removes dead skin and promotes new skin cell growth. Also contains cucumber, aloe, lavender and rose. I love the subtle clean scent of the flowers and herbs. I struggle finding a good cleanser, some are just too harsh or don’t do enough or have an over powering scent. This is perfect for my skin and I can’t imagine not using it! It has a light foaming action and is soap free. It leaves my skin feeling very fresh and smooth. 2 - Reverse C serum Vitamin C is one of the major game changers when it comes to skin vibrancy and anti-aging. But you also need to use the right type of Vitamin C. The vitamin C contained in this serum is L-ascorbic Acid, which is the most pure form of Vitamin C. It's an anti-oxidant which helps to repair damaged and aged skin and helps to protect skin from sun damage. This serum also contains vitamin E in it's most potent form (tocopherol). This vitamin is also a powerful antioxidant which fights off free radicals and helps to strengthen, moisturise and heal skin. I like to think of this as a wonderful protection and healing serum for my skin. 3 - Zinc shade This zinc oxide moisturiser is perfect for my skin. It's light enough to wear under make-up every day and works fantastic as a primer. It has been very effective in protecting my skin from the harsh Australian sun. As I am a bit of a sun lover, I do like to get my vitamin D, but I don't want wrinkles! This provides against UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays. It's sps 15 + and provides against the harshest sun of the day. Also contains the calming jojoba seed oil, lavender oil and rose oil. 4 - Smooth Serum An Alpha Hydroxy Acid exfoliating serum for use at night. This potent serum renews the skin by promoting skin cell turnover. The result is a more balanced and smoother skin tone. It removes dead skin, revealing a brighter layer of skin. Helps increase collagen production leaving skin feeling more fresh and plump. Serums deposit highly concentrated forms of active nutrients which absorb into the deeper layers of skin. This keeps skin hydrated without feeling oily and really seems to be able to smooth out wrinkles. Contaning witch hazel, lavender oil, rose damascene, backhousia citriorda oil and hydroxy acids. 5 - Ultimate A
My favourite night cream of all time, the two powerhouse ingredients in this turn this into a super wrinkle smoother. The amazing night cream contains vitamin A (Retinal) and B3 (Niacinamide). These two ingredients would have to be two of the most effective anti ageing ingredients. I've been reading a lot about Niacinamide lately and this is the ingredient you want to be using on your skin. There has been a lot of research into this and it I can say myself that it does help to improve elasticity of skin, it helps with collagen and this in return helps to smooth out fine lines, even helping my under eye area look less puffy. The retinal contained in this cream is the most superior form of Retinol you can use, being the closest to prescription retinoic acid, but natural and without the extreme harsh side effects from chemical based retinal. I can highly recommend ESK products with confidence, their products are high quality, effective and safe for all skin types. They do result in a smoother, younger looking complexion, even helping 'cheek wrinkles', which seem to be a hard to thing to eliminate unless people turn to fillers or botox, which is something you really want to avoid. Kits are available from ESK for all skin types including acne prone, normal, mature, sensitive, pigmented and expected mums. |
