One of our most popular products is our PhytoHealth Revitalising Serum. 

Revitalising Serum 30ml all logos and box

One of the oils we use in this product is Tamanu Oil for its antibiotic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.

Tamanu

The Tamanu tree is native to South East Asia, with unusual black bark and shiny leaves, it blooms twice a year with white, fragrant flowers that produce a fruit that looks like a small apple.

Tamanu

As the fruit ripens, it turns from green to yellow and then hardens and turns to brown and eventually shrivels up, at this stage the seed (kernel) is removed from the fruit and dried in the sun for several weeks before the oil is extracted by cold press. 

100 kilograms of Tamanu fruit are required to produce just 5 kilograms of oil.

The oil contains a unique fatty acid Calophyllic acid which is a natural antibiotic called Lactone, it also contains a natural, non-steroid anti-inflammatory called Calophyllolide, this is what sets Tamanu oil apart from other oils as it is not found in any other oil.

It has a low comedogenic rating of 2, which means it is less likely to clog your pores.

Tamanu is another expensive ingredient that we use, because of its cost, we know other skincare companies might skip using Tamanu oil as an ingredient, but we know the benefits are worth it and our customers expect the only the finest from us.

Amino Acids

What are Amino Acids?

Amino Acids

What are Amino Acids?

 Amino Acids are building blocks making up proteins.

There are 20 amino acids, 11 of which are considered ‘Nonessential’, and 9 that are considered ‘Essential,’ 

Nonessential does not mean that they are not important, on the contrary, it simply means that the body already makes them on its own. 

Essential means that the body cannot make them on its own, so they must be acquired through either diet or topical.

The nine essentials are found in proteins, such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy and plants. 
For Vegans essential protein options include quinoa, buckwheat and soybeans.

In skincare, amino acids enhance the skin’s overall quality and appearance.  

Studies (Farris, P. et al. Journal of drugs in dermatology JDD 13.1. 41-46 (2014)) show amino acids are an effective measure for lessening the appearance of the signs of ageing, making the use for skin an option to infuse into topical cosmetic formulations for anti-ageing benefits.

   The Benefits:

     Promoting cellular repair
          Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles
        Hydrating the skin
       Reducing inflammation
      Building collagen

They are essential components to maintaining the appearance of healthy looking skin and can be found in all types of skincare products, from moisturisers, serums, eye creams, and cleansers. 

Unlike many skin care acids that require some caution when being introduced to your skincare regime, these acids are easy to incorporate into your current routine as they work well with all skin types.

However, as always, it is recommended to perform a patch test before using any skincare product and stopping use if you have any adverse reaction.

Amino acids are contained in our Face Spritzers with added Marine Phytoplankton, our PhytoHealth™ Premium Blend Beard Oil, our Intense Serum and our 100% Prickly Pear Seed Oil, all of course Certified Organic by Ecocert

NO ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCES OR PERFUMES

We use no artificial fragrances or perfumes, this is all part of our Clean Code.

Many skincare brands use artificial fragrances to cover up the smell of the chemicals used within their formulas, this can often be the cause for irritation to the skin.

All of our packaging is recyclable.

NO GMO’S

GMO stands for ‘Genetically Modified Organism’.

NO ARTIFICIAL COLOURS

In the world we live in, nature provides a vast spectrum of colours for the eyes to see.

The artificial colours used in skincare are often derived from a string of synthetic chemicals which could have adverse effects on your skin such as irritation or sensitivity.

We do not use any artificial colours, the colours you will see are derived from the natural and organic ingredients themselves.

POWERFUL CERTIFIED ORGANIC INGREDIENTS

Every  ingredient we use holds its own unique ability, not having one, but a blend of powerful ingredients to obtain maximum benefits and achieve potent results.

We choose not to use the common ingredients, we use the extraordinary instead, not only for the prestige factor, more importantly for the benefits of their multi-functional composition.

Our products are formulated with highly active certified organic and naturally derived ingredients, pure essential and botanical oils, rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids.

The efficacy in our products comes from the organic nature of our ingredients. Organic is better for our health, well-being and the environment.

NO WHITE OR PRIVATE LABELLING

New Technology Horrors

New Technology Horrors

The PURE Collection

After having worked most of our working life in an age when humans ruled the office, and common daily use of computers were still in their infancy, it was quite a challenge to start anew, not only a new career forming The PÜRE Collection, but also with new computer technology, that seemed to be advancing far quicker than we were!

Would we be embracing  all this technology if it were not for our business, other than maybe Facebook for our own personal use?  Almost certainly not.  

Social Media

As for technological software programmes, online gaming and even social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Pinterest… and the list goes on with new ones added, what appears to be overnight, these are a whole world unto themselves with their, language, social etiquettes and structures.

Our office library used to consist of rows of tomes, not chips.

Physically, we are not nearly as old as computer technology makes us feel.

 Seeing young children playing videos and learning games with as much knowledge and gusto as we had did with board games and abacus (remember those?), instantly makes us feel both ancient and shame, now we quickly hide the pen and notepad we still carry around in our pocket.

Our  salvation is that I doubt the kids of today know they are, let alone know how to use them.

Having leapt head first into the 21st century, we have taken on board all this technology, embracing, (albeit grudgingly)  what needs to be learnt and doing so with much yelling, screaming and at times hair pulling, however we are getting there and learning new things every day.

Language

Who would have known that Chaps are not necessarily my friends, but Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol, WEP is not to be done with tissue in hand when frustrated or very happy, but Wide-area network, DAM is not a word spouted in frustration, but Database activity monitoring.

So, as each day comes we embrace computer technology and become more and more proficient.

We are no longer petrified of it, but slowly easing away from being afraid and accepting it as our friend.

We are determined not to let technology beat us and it will not.

It’s all about the size

Now when we are hear the phrase “we need more RAM”, we do not run in panic.

We now know it is time to increase our computer memory and “spreadsheets” assigned to Excel.

Female in bath of milk

Was Cleopatra so Extravagant after all?

Was Cleopatra so extravagant after all?

If so, more than 700 donkeys would have to have been milked daily, just to provide the quantity of milk necessary for her.

However, was this really so extravagant?
