Narelle Chenerery – Founding Director of Organic & Natural
Enterprise Group
(ONE Group) by Narelle
For those of you who are interested in how I got started in this business - here is my brief story
While completing a Bachelor of Applied Science in Information Management in 1992, a friend introduced
me to a new natural skin care range on the market. The company prided itself on producing the best
products from "science and nature." They talked a lot about the good ingredients, but didn't say much
about the bad ones; in fact they denied have any bad ingredients at all! Even though the products
contained ingredients I could not pronounce, because they claimed to be from natural ingredients like
coconut and palm, I just presumed they were natural and safe.
One day, soon after I began selling this "natural" skin care range to my friends and family, a cosmetic
ingredient dictionary "jumped" out at me while I was browsing through a health food store. The dictionary
told me of the dangerous properties of the ingredients in the products I was using. YUCK! I was
disillusioned, and quite annoyed! I felt that I had been deceived. Hence began my search for TRULY
natural products.
My mother-in-law (God bless her) gave me some books on aromatherapy, herbal remedies, and how to
make your own skin care out of natural ingredients. Surprisingly, even these books recommended the
use of toxic preservatives, (which I wasn't going to touch!) So I started experimenting with some skin
creams and giving them away as gifts.
As I was researching how to prevent my natural concoctions from growing mould, I remembered a little
bottle that I had taken on my trip to Thailand a few years before to kill bugs in the water. I tried this, with
some other natural extracts I had been researching, and they appeared to do the trick!
As my research continued, I was captivated with the many wonderful offerings of Mother Nature, and
grew more concerned about the toxic synthetic ingredients that most cosmetics seemed to contain. I was
inspired to let people know about the toxins in skin care, and felt I could offer a real alternative. Some of
my articles were published in some well-respected natural health magazines, and I realised there was a
demand for knowledge about toxic ingredients and truly natural products. Apparently, I was on a winner!
My hand-made products turned out to be quite popular and my hobby grew into a home-based business
- Intelligence Cosmetics. It was great; I had just given birth to baby number 3, and this was something I
could do in my own time at home.
Eighteen months later, Alf Orpen approached me after I had stall at a natural products expo and
challenged me to create certified organic products. I had been eating organic food since my first
pregnancy in 1994, and I believed wholeheartedly in the organic philosophy. I was up for the challenge!
Even within my "Intelligence" range, I used ingredients that I was not entirely happy with. After another
eighteen months of research and development, the Miessence Certified Organic product range was
born!
However, it does not stop there! Our intention is to create a whole range of certified organic lifestyle
products, from cosmetics, to garden products, household cleaners, pet products, as well as a range of
healthy food supplements to increase our wellness and vitality! Let there be no doubt that we will
revolutionise the health and beauty industry! Stay tuned to this company!
One of my personal objectives is to help level the playing field between multi-national companies, with
big marketing budgets, and the consumer. Education is the key here. If we know how to read labels, we
can choose to avoid toxins.
We, as consumers, are incredibly powerful; we just need to own it! The cosmetics industry alone is worth
something like US$20 billion a year. Most of this turnover supports the use of toxic chemicals. If we tell
the big multi-nationals, we will no longer put up with the toxic waste they put into our bodies and the
environment through their products (by refusing to buy them) they will have no choice but to make the
changes we wish to see!
As Ghandi said, "Non-cooperation with evil is a sacred duty." There are so many candy-coated evils
promoted to us by tabloids, women's magazines, and television. We need to look beyond the hype of big-
business propaganda, and not believe everything we hear! If we commit to educating ourselves and
acting responsibly upon that new knowledge, there is no limit to what we can achieve.
- Be a beacon of light in the sea of ignorance and apathy - stand up and be counted!
- Act to improve your health and wellbeing, daily!
- Support companies that support the ethical use of the earth's resources!
- Educate your colleagues and families about toxins in their environment and food!
- Pray for the enlightenment of our planet's leaders and power brokers. God knows they
need it!
- Wishing you health, happiness, and lots of love.

"Education is the key to empowering consumers to see

recognize products for what they really are. Misleading
labels and clever advertising relating to organic content
often mask he use of potentially toxic ingredients, which
seriously undermines the integrity of the organic claim."

I love having an organic, home based business with ONE Group. I am able to be actively engaged in my daughter's life, continue to be a stay-at-home mom and have time to pursue my own personal interests .
It also affords me the opportunity to help other motivated people make their own dreams a reality.
