Our Story

This story began when I developed eczema for the first time at around 50. Not understanding what was happening to my skin I went to my doctor. Who diagnosed my eczema and prescribed steroid cream.

I had previously heard about topical steroid withdrawal so it was not a path I was willing to go down.

I visited my pharmacist instead. Who read through the ingredients of all his top-quality skin care products and finally said in his wonderful English accent:

Australia doesn’t really do skin care very well

Hearing that from a professional with experience beyond Australia I began to research natural skin care remedies for eczema. During my research I learnt so much more about eczema but also of the changes women can expect for their skin and hair after around 40.

The Embrace Your Skin products are the result of intensive research. I am proud to present three products for your and your family’s skin.

  • Embrace your skin for anyone in the family with itchy irritated skin of any age;
  • Embrace Your Face and Embrace Your Scalp for those of us over 40 experiencing aging skin and hormonal hair loss.

Our Philosophy

Your skin is your largest organ, so just like we avoid ultra-processed foods for our gut health, we should also avoid ultra-processed skin care products for our skin.

You wouldn’t knowingly put chemicals or preservatives into your gut. Why would you knowingly put chemicals or preservatives on your skin? Particularly the petroleum side products many skin care products contain.

Our basic philosophy is:

If you wouldn’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin.

Read your skin and hair care labels as carefully as you would your food labels.

Our Formulas

Embrace Your Skin products are 100% organic, natural, chemical and preservative-free. They are edible, and they are proven to work in tests amongst myself and my friends. Embrace Your Skin products are specifically formulated to protect and repair the skin barrier when it is irritated by eczema or other skin irritations, including pollen, pollution and aging.

On skin of any age irritated by eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis or other conditions they are formulated to repair the skin barrier and use essential oils to provide relief from the itch. For more mature skin our formulas include an added kick of Rosehip and Rose Essential Oil. All well known for their properties in assisting mature skin.

For those experiencing hormonal-related hair loss our formula includes Lavender, Rosemary, and Cedarwood Essential Oils which are all known for ensuring a healthy scalp. A healthy scalp is essential to reduce hair loss and for healthy, soft, smooth, sweet-smelling, glowing hair without mass-produced, chemically laden products. And I make it myself. So I know exactly what is in it, and exactly how it is made.

Our base formula for all our products is:

Glycerine: a natural humectant that draws the water in your body and the surrounding air to your skin to moisturise. Coconut oil: to seal in the water and repair your skin barrier. These base ingredients work together to repair damaged, irritated skin and rejuvenate aging skin and scalps.
