When I was studying for my Diploma in Organic Skincare Formulation, one of the key topics is preservation and the importance of preservation of the skincare products.Products that are not properly preserved can pose significant health risk to the customers. Anytime a product contains water content, a proper preservation must be in place. However it is not always a straightforward science to preserve skincare products, it will need to depend on the water content, the temperature, the ingredients and the environment. One thing for sure however is that clay is very a hard ingredient to preserve once activated with water i.e. when turned into mud. And it is almost impossible to preserve mud with natural preservatives. Any mud mask you buy in the market that is already pre-made i.e. in mud form (not dry powder) will need to be preserved with

I had a breakthrough last week with my formulation. 🤗 Let me know what to think? Would you be interested? ❤ I'm formulating a gentle, nourishing, organic and 100% natural Facial Cleanser and Face and Eye Make up Remover.

It glides beautifully, and the oils I

I first decided to use calendula and chamomile oil infusion when my baby at the time suffered from severe eczema and his paediatrician prescribed him steroid cream to be applied 3 times a day. At the time, I already started my journey to a cleaner and healthier living, minimising uses of commercial products with toxic chemicals, especially products applied to the skin. Skin is our biggest organ. Constituents in skincare, including those found in chemicals and preservatives applied to the skin get absorbed through the skin and end up in our bloodstream. A lot of these chemicals and preservatives are highly toxic and when applied regularly, can result in increased level of toxicity in our body, creating all sorts of health issues.I was determined not to

Over 5 years ago, while I was pregnant with my first child, I started researching organic baby care products. I had read about the toxic chemicals and preservatives in baby care products, and I was adamant not use them on my baby. Searching the internet I found many amazing DIY recipes which inspired me to embark on a DIY journey by making my own organic personal and baby care products. It has been a steep learning curve but I have never looked back.  The products I am promoting are ones I’ve perfected over the years. I love them. My friends and family love them. Zacoli Organic is set up with the goal to provide these beautiful range of natural and organic personal care products to the public.
