"I believe in simple, accessible care for your skin - not treatments that take hours to prepare and endless bottles spilling out of the cupboard. Having beautiful skin isn't about miracle cures and vast expense - it's about excellent ingredients, expert knowledge and simple daily care. Naturally, the products have not been tested on animals, but on members of my family, friends and many patients.
NATURAL
Because all my range is natural, I try to keep any surfactants or emulsifiers to a minimum, the feel is different to that of more commercial products. Using natural extracts means you can't control things the way a big commercial product would. Sometimes my creams turn out pinker or more orange because they contain an extract of tomato and every tomato has a slightly different colour. Personally, I like this. It reminds me that what I use comes from real growing plants - it also adds a bit of fun when I'm looking at products - what shade of peach will this one be today? I ask.
AND ONLY NATURE…
It worries me to see so many women using formulations filled with synthetic perfumes or colours, when there are natural alternatives which smell better, feel better and are often more effective. I won’t use synthetic colourings.
All my fragrances come from pure essential oils - they smell delicious, with stimulating or relaxing fragrances depending on which product they’re composed for, but each oil has its own benefits as well.
HOW MY PRODUCTS ARE DEVELOPED
I’ve travelled the world to study different therapies, but sometimes the best insights come from ordinary people using the world around them. For example, in the Caribbean, I saw women crushing tamarind pods and using the oil to protect their skin. My research confirmed tamarind is high in anti-oxidants, helping neutralise damaging free radicals, stimulate skin repair and protect against environmental pollution. From that I worked with cosmetic scientists, using the latest, most technically advanced processes to develop some wonderful natural products for my clients.
COMBINING THERAPIES
My products work on many levels: from their scent to each balanced combination of ingredients, they work holistically to care for your skin. Formulations are designed to suit your skin’s natural rhythms, so some ingredients work better at night when your skin is repairing itself and others act during the day for added protection.

AROMATHERAPY UNDERSTOOD
Aromatherapy is more than just a nice scent, although the natural oils do make my products smell delicious. Essential oils are potent concentrations of plants. It takes four to eight tonnes of roses to produce just one kilo of rose oil and approximately 750 petals have gone into each pot of some of the products I create.
I won’t compromise on the quality of my ingredients. Different varieties of plant have different qualities: rose species grown at varied altitudes and soils, will have specific benefits. It’s no good just buying the cheapest!
I have a passion for researching, developing, testing and creating products which combine the best properties for restoring, hydrating and repairing skin that will help and provide benefit for women of all ages.
