Tell us the inspiration behind making the Rose Geranium Facial Cleanse?
Our Rose Geranium Facial Cleanse embodies our commitment to gentle yet effective skincare solutions. Formulated with natural ingredients like Decyl Glucoside for gentle cleansing and French Pink Clay for gentle exfoliation and detoxification, it removes impurities while treating inflammation and promoting skin repair. Infused with Rose Hydrosol for its soothing properties and Rose Geranium Essential Oil for skin tightening and brightening, our cleanser provides a luxurious and rejuvenating experience, leaving the skin refreshed, balanced, and radiant.
Where do you get your inspiration for new products from?
The inspiration for our new products stems from the boundless wonders of the natural world. We're constantly amazed by the diversity and potency of botanicals, each offering unique properties that can be harnessed to deliver healing and hydration to our skincare formulations. Our approach is deeply rooted in listening to the needs of our customers, understanding the challenges they face in navigating the plethora of skincare options available today. We strive to alleviate decision overwhelm by crafting products that embody simplicity and practicality, while still encompassing a comprehensive range of benefits. Lastly, my personal experiences and challenges with skin health guide me to create products that I wish existed or that I know could benefit others.
What's the biggest lesson you've learnt from starting and running a business?
The biggest lesson I've learned is the importance of resilience and adaptability. Running a business is a journey filled with highs and lows. There will be challenges and unexpected turns, but how you adapt to these changes and persist through difficulties defines your path forward. Embracing failure as a stepping stone rather than a setback has been crucial for both personal growth and the evolution of my business.
What does mental health mean to you?
To me, mental health forms the core of our overall well-being. It's about emotional resilience, the ability to handle life's ups and downs with strength, and maintaining healthy relationships with ourselves and others. Nurturing our mental health allows us to navigate challenges, express emotions constructively, and connect with the world in meaningful ways. It's a journey of growth, self-discovery, and balance, emphasising the importance of self-care and mindfulness in our daily lives.
How would you tie using skincare to improve one's mental health?
Skincare routines can be a powerful act of self-care and mindfulness. The ritual of taking time to care for one's skin can serve as a daily reminder to pause and focus on oneself. It's not just about the physical act of cleansing or moisturising but about the intention behind it—nurturing oneself, acknowledging one's worth, and taking a moment to breathe and connect with oneself. The sensory experience of applying products with soothing textures and uplifting scents can also be incredibly calming, creating a moment of peace in a hectic day.
Velvet Ash's Rose Geranium Facial Cleanse is included in MyTreat's May 2024 'Mental Health' Wellness Box with four other treats for only $67.50 if you prepay for a year.
