A Basket of Chocolate

Without the calories...

 It's finally available! My new labels have arrived and Chocolate Kiss Lip Balm is ready to go.

New Chocolate Kiss Lip Balm has a delicious flavour rather like Chicos, those luscious chocolate babies.


All Skinflint Lip Balms are formulated with a blend of coconut, castor seed, jojoba and almond oils and contain kokum butter and natural plant waxes plus vitamin E.


They keep the skin of the lips soft and smooth, protecting them from the elements. At only $4.50, you'll be hard pressed to find a cheaper hand made petroleum free lip balm!

October Special



This month, both Enriching and Clarifying Cleansers are reduced by 15%. That means the 130ml tube will cost you only $10.20!

Skinflint Cleansers are different from the more common detergent based foaming cleansers that most companies produce. They are a milky,  wash off cleanser, which makes them far more gentle on the skin, while still being very efficient in removing dirt and make up.

Enriching Cleanser is formulated with almond and castor seed oils and contains both olive leaf and nettle extracts. It's gentle, effective and washes off completely without leaving any residue. Your skin will feel refreshed and soft, rather than squeaky clean.

Detergent based cleansers such as Dove Foaming Cleanser, Clinique's Rinse Off Foaming Cleanser and Nivea Foaming Facial Cleanser all contain harsh surfactants such as those used in your dishwashing liquid.
These strip the skin of it's natural oils and leave it tight and dry. They are no more effective than oil based milky cleansers, yet many people still persist in using them, especially teenagers.

Clarifying Cleanser is formulated with coconut and castor seed oils and contains a small amount of yucca extract, a natural surfactant from the yucca plant that helps cleanse oily skin.  It's very mild, yet cleanses the skin of  extra oil, dirt and make up without leaving it feeling tight and dry.
It's important for people with very oily skin not to over-cleanse as this leads to over active sebum production, creating a vicious cycle and stressing the skin even further.

If you like to have a stronger cleansing effect, try using Skinflint Face Polish. Containing bamboo powder, Face Polish has a mild exfoliating effect that doesn't irritate dry or acne prone skin.
Clarifying Face Polish also contains Rhassoul Clay, a wonderful, slightly gritty natural clay that assists in gently cleansing the skin. Leave on the skin for a few minutes to allow it's drawing effect to cleanse deeply into pores, before gently massaging and scrubbing away dirt and grime.

All Skinflint products have a 100% Money Back Guarantee.
