Whilst working in the beauty industry for most of my life, I continued to see how skincare products impact the environment.

I remember unpacking product orders, noticing every item within plastic sleeves, inside plastic bags, all surrounded by plastic packing cushions.

There was no need for all this excess plastic packaging.

Working in the industry I had also enjoyed high-quality skincare, the ingredients and the results.

For many years, I have been a devoted user of personal tanning products. They have played a significant role in building my confidence, and I have tried various tans, including creams, dark mouses, and foams.

Despite using different tanning products, I never could find one that I truly loved and continued to use consistently. Additionally, upon researching the ingredients of these tans, I realised they were filled with unfamiliar ingredients and harmful chemicals.

I became aware how these products made my skin feel after using them. I often was left with incredibly dry skin, clogged pores and even break outs. As a skin therapist, I understood the rituals with skincare and quality ingredients that should be in them. It was clear that these products couldn’t be good for long term use.
