Which products are the best for pregnant women's stretch marks?
The Intensive Body Cream is beautiful for a pregnant woman's expanding belly. The Ambrosia
Essence would also be brilliant because of the nourishment and support it imparts to expanding
skin!
The aroma of the products is quite different to what I expected. Why?
The organic, fresh herbal aromas of our products often stand in contrast to the perfumed and
artificially scented products that line store shelves today. Once you acclimatise to the natural
beauty of the aromas of Mother Nature you will never be able to walk down conventional skin
care aisles again without being repelled by the synthetic chemical fragrances. Some of our
customers experience this amazing transformation in as little as one week.
I've just started using Miessence hair care, but it is not lathering. Why?
The shampoo probably won't foam for you until you eliminate the plastic coating on your hair
from past hair care products. This can be done by either:
- time - using our products until it happens (slow)
- detoxing your hair with a few baths of 1 cup sea salt, 1 cup apple cider vinegar 2 cups
bicarb soda (hop in the bath and swish your hair around in it)
- making a paste of bicarb soda and our shampoo and washing your hair with it a few times
- making a paste of clay (one of our masks - or just clay from the health food store) with our
shampoo and washing your hair with that a few times.
While your hair is detoxing, it may feel dry and knotty. This is normal, as the hair is eliminating
the silicone derivatives (dimethicone, cylcomethicone, any chemical with ...'cone' in it) from your
hair. Once they have been dissolved, you will find our shampoo foams and you hair is silky and
soft.
Do your shampoos strip synthetic hair colours and dyes?
Some people have reported hair dye being stripped from using the Lemon Myrtle Shampoo.
But others have claimed that they use both our shampoos on dyed hair without any stripping of
colour. We, therefore, cannot say categorically whether it will strip colour from the hair. We
believe it is dependant on the hair dye used.
I just started using Miessence skin care, why am I breaking out?
It is not unusual to experience a period of detoxification when you first start using Miessence.
Because Miessence skin care supports the natural eliminatory functions of your skin, without
subjecting it to further toxic overload, your skin will breathe a sigh of relief, and will naturally
begin to eliminate accumulated toxins from past products. Skin cells are renewed every 4-5
weeks, depending on your individual health, metabolism, and eating habits, so in a month or
two, you should have glowing “Miessence” skin.
Do any of your products get rid of head lice?
We do not make anything specifically for getting rid of head lice, but try the Buzz Free Zone as a
head lice preventative. Just spray it on their hair in the mornings.
What would you use on an abscess on someone's leg?
I would recommend the Purifying Mineral Mask, which contains green clay – a potent healing
and drawing agent.
Can the body wash be used for babies?
Yes, it should be fine to use. However as with any product, please pay close attention to any
signs of discomfort or reaction.
Do you have any products which will assist with childhood eczema?
In-Liven has been shown to improve skin conditions such as eczema.
Intensive Body Cream will help to sooth the skin while adding plenty of moisture.
What would suggest as a range of baby products for new born babies and how would
you suggest using them?
We currently don't have any products specifically for the delicate skin of new-borns. However
new born babies need almost nothing for skin care.
You could try 1 or 2 drops of lavender oil in the bath to soothe and calm them. Or a couple of
drops of Sunflower Body Wash will do the job of cleaning them gently. The Intensive Body
Cream is lovely also if their skin is a little dry. As a general rule for babies, less is more.
For nappy rash, you could try some Soothing Couperose Gel or better yet, let them go nappy-
free as much as possible!
I have purchased your Buzz Free Zone insect repellent. Is this safe to use on a 13mth
old baby?
It should be gentle enough, but definitely avoid the face. Pay close attention in case it does not
agree with their skin though.
I've just started using the shampoo and I'm noticed more hair loss than usual. Why is
this?
Our products are loosening the sebum plugs that house the hair follicles in the scalp, which may
have been blocked / clogged by previous product usage (especially those containing mineral
oils). This means that, for a little while, you will notice more hair than usual falling out. The hair
that grows back will be healthier and stronger.
Whilst my hair is detoxifying, it's really dry and wiry, what can I do?
Pre-treat your hair at night before washing. Massage organic coconut oil into the hair before you
go to bed and wash out the next morning. Be sure not to use so much that the pillow cases end
up a mess!
My children don't like the toothpastes, what can I do?
No doubt your children prefer the sickly sweet taste of aspartame-ridden toothpastes. (Whose
wouldn't?) My children have been using our toothpastes for years (since they were toddlers).
They complained a lot at first, but are well and truly used to them now. In fact, they love the Anise
Toothpaste.
I just started using the toothpaste; the top of my mouth is sore and slightly swollen
and my gums are bleeding after brushing. What's happening?
Since you've only been using it for a short while, you may be detoxing (eliminating toxins through
your mucous membranes in your mouth). I'd suggest persisting through it. It should cease within
a month, and the end result will be much healthier gums.
Can I use the Liquid Hand Soap as a shampoo?
Absolutely! However, the issue with soap is that when it is used in hard water, precipitation
occurs. The calcium and magnesium ions, which give the hardness to water, form insoluble
salts that settle on whatever is being washed (i.e the hair). Build up can be reduced with use of
the Clarifying Hair Rinse, but, eventually, it will build up and weigh the hair down and the hair will
look a little limp and lank.
What can I do to tackle freckles?
I would suggest creating a very small daily fresh batch of an infusion of ascorbic acid (pure
vitamin C) dissolved into water. Soak a cotton wool ball wipe it all over your face. The vitamin c
will slowly bleach the skin and will also contribute to collagen synthesis so new skin will be
formed. It is a long term solution, not a quick fix.
Why should you not use a metal spoon when mixing a mask?
The clay minerals contain metallic minerals and it is good not to interfere with the magnetic
frequency of the minerals which are highly beneficial in the mask that's why we recommend that
you mix with plastic or ceramic, don't contaminate it with other metals.
If I have a nut allergy can I still use your products?
We tend not use nut ingredients, as a rule, except the tamanu nut oil in the Ambrosia Essence. If
someone is highly allergic to nuts, we recommend they read our ingredients to ascertain what
exactly is in our products. We don't use nut oils like hazelnut, almond or peanut.
