Luk Beautifood - lash nourish mascara - review

8/16/2023

0 Comments

 
Feed your beauty naturally with Luk Beautifood Lash Nourish Mascara, a stunning 100% natural and lash-healthy mascara that is available in two shades: an inky Black Tea and a rich Espresso. It is designed to awaken eyes for a fresh, natural look as it hydrates and nourishes lashes, a 2-in-1 fusion of mascara and lash care.  
Picture
The mascara has a unique flexible hourglass rubber brush that grabs every single lash and coats them evenly with the buildable, not-too-wet-or-dry formula. This results in super smooth, well-defined and fanned lashes that are smudge and flake resistant, yet easy to remove.

​Luk Mascara is free of synthetic ingredients, parabens, sulfates and phthalates. It is also cruelty-free and vegan.  Luk mascara is health food for your lashes, every single ingredient is actually nourishing and healthy for your lashes, unlike mainstream mascaras which are full of eye irritating chemicals and can damage your eyes.
Picture
Luk Beautifood is an Australian company based in the Northern Beaches in New South Wales.  They make natural makeup and beauty products that are nourishing, healthy, and eco-friendly. The company was founded by Cindy Luken, a food scientist and former chef who wanted to create cosmetics that were as high-quality and delicious as the food she ate.
​
She believes that what goes on your skin goes in your body, so she uses only natural ingredients that are backed by science and free of toxins, cruelty, and synthetic chemicals.

Luk Beautifood products are designed to look, taste, smell and feel amazing, while hydrating, nourishing, and protecting. The products also come in sustainable packaging and are certified by various organizations such as Choose Cruelty Free and Safe Cosmetics Australia.
​
The company has won several awards for its products and innovation, such as Best of the Green Edit 2023 and the Organic Beauty Award 2021.  Luk Beautifood is a company that aims to make clean and conscious beauty accessible and enjoyable for everyone. 
​
Picture
​Luk Beautifood Mascara is made with plant-based ingredients that hydrate, protect, and strengthen your lashes. It contains a proprietary wood-derived cellulose polymer complex called CELL-U-LASH, a patented technology that lifts and separates your lashes for  high-definition. Extracted from pine trees and containing thousands of long-chain sugar molecules, each cellulose fibre measures between 20-110 microns and naturally coats lashes with a hydrophilic and breathable formula that improves follicular health and increases lash density, volume, and length.

​
The mascara has a creamy texture that glides on smoothly and evenly, without clumping or flaking. The flexible hourglass brush helps to coat every lash from root to tip, creating a natural and flattering curl.   It is suitable for sensitive eyes and easy to remove.

Each mascara uses fully recyclable PEFC-approved packaging components, vegetable-based printing dyes, and TerraCycle™️ friendly hard materials.   I love the look of the elegant gold tubes.

Picture
Luk Beautifood Mascara is made from plant and mineral based ingredients that are gentle and beneficial for your lash health. Some of the key ingredients are:
​
  • Argan oil: This oil is rich in essential fatty acids that moisturise and strengthen your lashes. It also helps prevent lash breakage and promotes lash growth.
  • Cucumber seed oil: This oil is high in vitamin B5, B7 and E which hydrate and protect your lashes. 
  • Avocado oil: This oil is packed with vitamin E and antioxidants that nourish and repair your lashes. It also helps prevent lash loss and improves lash elasticity.
  • Green tea extract: This extract is a powerful antioxidant that protects your lashes from environmental damage. It also has anti-inflammatory and caffeine properties that stimulate lash growth.
  • Coffee bean extract: This extract is another source of antioxidants which also enhances the colour and depth of your lashes.
  • Bamboo stem extract: This extract is rich in silica, a mineral that strengthens and lengthens your lashes. It also adds volume and shine to your lashes.
  • Cocoa butter:  Cocoa butter can help to keep eyelashes hydrated and prevent them from becoming dry and brittle. This can make them look fuller and more voluminous.

Luk Mascara comes in two shades - Black tea, which gives lashes a deep, black colour and Espresso, which defines lashes with a rich brown shade.  It is not intentionally scented, but the ingredients provide a beautiful light earthy rose scent which I love.  It does not smell like chemicals like many mascara do.  I've never come across a mascara which has had such a beautiful scent as this one.

​​Luk Beautifood Mascara is more than just a mascara, it is a lash care product that enhances your natural beauty. It gives you healthy, lush and full lashes that you will love.
​
I have naturally short lashes and when I have worn this people have commented on how long my lashes are looking!  I can highly recommend Luk mascara. Try it today and see the difference for yourself! 😊

Moroccanoil Oud Minéral Collection - review

8/6/2023

0 Comments

 
The Moroccanoil Oud Minéral collection is a luxurious line of body care products that features a unique and intoxicating oud scent of sea salt, smoky cedarwood and petitrgran. The collection includes a shower gel, body lotion and hand wash, all of which are designed to leave your skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated.   The Oud Minéral scent is beautiful, it is a blend of woody, smoky and sweet notes.  I am a huge fan of smoky based aromas, I love the mysterious and exotic feeling it gives me. The scent is not overpowering, but it is definitely noticeable. It is a great scent for everyday wear, but it is also perfect for special occasions.  The scent of Moroccanoil Oud transports me to an exotic location, a luxury resort over looking a driftwood-strewn beach on an overcast morning. 
​​

Moroccanoil is known for its high-quality products and luxurious formulas. The brand's products are made with argan oil, which is a natural oil that is rich in vitamins and antioxidants.  Pioneers in the argan oil infused beauty industry,  Moroccanoil was founded in 2000 by Carmen Tal, who was inspired to create a line of products that would help repair her damaged hair after a trip to Morocco and has since expanded to a range of luxurious skincare products. 

Moroccanoil products are also free of sulfates, parabens, and phthalates. The brand is committed to using sustainable ingredients and practices, and its products are all Peta-certified cruelty free.

Moroccanoil Shower Gel Oud Minéral  is a luxurious shower gel.  It has a soft woody aroma that is sweet and smoky and calms my mind.

The Moroccanoil Oud Shower Gel is formulated with a blend of natural ingredients that are designed to cleanse, hydrate, and nourish the skin. The shower gel contains argan oil, which is a rich source of vitamins and antioxidants. Argan oil helps to hydrate the skin and protect it from damage, it is a rich source of vitamin E.  The shower gel also contains shea butter, which is a natural emollient that helps to soften and smooth the skin.

The Moroccanoil Oud Shower Gel has a luxurious lather that leaves the skin feeling clean, soft, and smooth.  The oud aroma is long-lasting, so you will continue to smell great long after you get out of the shower.
​​

Picture
Moroccanoil Body Lotion Oud Minéral is a lightweight, fast-absorbing lotion that is formulated with a blend of moisturizing oils and soothing aloe leaf extract. It is fragranced with Oud Minéral, featuring notes of Mediterranean sea salt and charred cedarwood.

It is made with a blend of moisturizing oils, including argan oil, tsubaki oil and evening primrose oil. These oils help to hydrate and nourish the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.    Tsubaki oil, also known as camellia oil, is a light, non-greasy oil that is extracted from the seeds of the Camellia japonica plant. It has been used for centuries in Japanese beauty care for its many benefits for the skin and hair.   It is rich in oleic acid, a type of omega-9 fatty acid that is known for its moisturizing and skin protecting properties.

​It also contains aloe leaf extract, which is a soothing and calming ingredient, making it ideal for use after sun exposure or after a long day at work.

Picture
Moroccanoil Hand Wash Oud Minéral is a luxurious hand wash that is both effective and gentle. It is made with argan oil and hyaluronic acid, which help to hydrate and nourish the skin. The hand wash also has a refreshing and invigorating oud scent.

It is effective at cleansing hands, gentle on skin, hydrating and nourishing. It lathers up very nicely and is luxurious and affordable.   The handwash, with its golden amber colour, also looks very opulent sitting on the bathroom counter.

​Overall, the Moroccanoil Oud Skincare Collection is high-quality skincare that is perfect for anyone looking for a luxurious and nourishing treatment for their skin, which also infuses the skin with a luxurious scent.   The Mediterranean sea salt gives a fresh, clean aroma.   Charred cedarwood adds a smoky depth and the petitgrain adds a fresh citrus floral note.  The base notes are rich and luxurious, with a musky, ambery aroma that leaves a lasting impression. It can be worn for any occasion, from work to a night out. It is also a great choice for both men and women.​

If you are looking for a unique, luxurious, and unforgettable line of skincare, Moroccanoil Oud collection is a great option. I can highly recommend these beautiful products.

Natralus - lemon myrtle natural deodorant - review

7/23/2023

0 Comments

 
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.
Picture
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.

Natralus paw paw lip butter & balm - review

6/27/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
Natralus paw paw lip butter and balms are all natural and moisturizing, made with the extract of organic paw paw fruit, which is known for its healing and soothing properties.

These fantastic products are created by Natralus Australia, an Australian skin and healthcare brand with a focus on taking on an empowering approach to natural skin care. With a family history of using natural medicine dating back to the 1920's, their grandfather was a pharmacist who was well known for blending natural ingredients into effective remedies. 

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.

Australian label, Tabatha by Beautex, on creating sustainably sourced fashion in a waste filled world.

7/25/2022

1 Comment

 
Picture
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.

Blue Tansy Facial Oil - Peggy Sue

8/15/2021

0 Comments

 
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.   

Picture
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.   

Picture
​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 - Hair growth routine for women

9/15/2020

0 Comments

 
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.
