When i was a child i began to pay attention of the natural ingredients used for making creams and cosmetics, i discovered that I have very sensitive skin: I could only use creams sold in some perfume shops, rich in chemicals such as petroleum, silicones and paraffins that it greatly inconvenienced my skin and causing annoying redness . Then I started to study on the Internet, in medical books and consulting experts in the cosmetics field to understand what i was smearing on my skin every day and what were the most harmful ingredients to avoid. The passion to make cosmetiques at home,i can create it with my hands and the benefits are many: it is more convenient, simple and really fun. Plus I know exactly what I put on my skin and according to my needs using different types of oils or other active ingredients.
