New Replenish

A reformulated Replenish Hand & Body Lotion is now available on the Skinflint Website.

Replenish Hand & Body Lotion is a blend of two formulae - Hand & Nail and Replenish. These are now deleted and replaced with the new product. I've researched for many months to create the perfect formula for this product. It's an all-in-one hand and body lotion, so there's no need to clutter up your bathroom with lots of different products.

Replenish is scented very lightly (though the first batch is a bit strong) with a unique blend of essential oils that I've been working on for weeks. It contains light Ricebran oil which is blended with Shea butter and Rosehip oil.

Rich in Vitamins B and E, Rice Bran oil increases elasticity of your skin and keeps it hydrated and soft. Rice bran oil is unique in that it contains different kinds of both vitamin B and vitamin E, making it a more complex ingredient for your skin.
Shea butter is renowned for it's ability to soften and soothe. The traditional use of the butter is to reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars and stretch marks, and to ease a variety of skin irritations, such as psoriasis, eczema and sunburn.
Rosehip oil is a source of essential fatty acids that include omega-3, 6 and 9. They are vital for the health of our skin but our bodies are unable to produce them. Essential fatty acids help to regenerate skin cells and to repair damaged skin tissue. It is the essential fatty acids in rose hip oil that quench dry, sun damaged skin and help to improve the appearance of burns, scars, wrinkles and stretch marks. It is also a good source of vitamin A, which is important for skin regeneration.
A myriad of other fabulous ingredients make this a wonderful moisturiser for your whole body. Due to it's urea content, it has the ability to soften calloused skin areas such as elbows, knees and heels. It will also soften cuticles. Oat Protein provides the necessary protein building blocks for skin cell renewal and Calendula Extract is a soothing botanical for irritated skin.Scientific studies find that extracts of calendula can speed the healing of skin wounds and burns.

Check out the website for the introductory special for the rest of the month of August or until stocks of the first batch last.

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Yes, I'm a busy little bee at the moment, making supplies for upcoming shows. Lip Balms yesterday and Gardener's Balm today. I can't do much more today as I have a Council Meeting this afternoon.

Gardener's Balm is a unique product that I created to help people who have trouble with really dry, cracked skin on their hands. Of course, it's not just for gardener's, it's excellent for farmers.
Gardener's Balm contains urea, a skin softener, plus allantoin which is known for it's healing properties. Olive Leaf Extract contains flavonoids which stimulate connective tissue and promote regular growth and balance in the skin. Olive and jojoba oils along with pure organic cocoa butter provide emolliency and softening to the skin.

I have a fabulous testimony from a customer who came to me last year at the Newdegate Field Days and showed me her cracked, bleeding hands. She helps her husband run a cattle farm and was despairing at what to do as working in the yards had become difficult with very sore hands. She went away with a tub of Gardener's Balm and two weeks later rang me to exclaim how thrilled she was that her hands were healing! I knew that the balm would help soften the skin in order to allow healing to take place, but had no idea that it would happen so quickly or so dramatically!

What wonderful news. She came to me in Newdegate again this year to show how good her hands were as she's been using Gardener's Balm religiously since then.

NEW PHOTOS
If you check out my website, you'll notice some lovely new photos. Kellie Guest (nee Dolan, from Nyabing) has been photographing all my products to ensure consistency throughout the website. Up until now, I've been taking them and they're a mish mash of different lighting, backgrounds and effects!

Such a horrible day weather wise today. Hot wind making everything even more dry than it is and now a movement ban so we can't shift any sheep to water.  It's been a shocker of a season for grain farmers here and everyone will have to tighten their belt next year. It's good to know that I can provide good quality skin care products at reasonable prices so my local and other farming customers will still be able to afford Skinflint
