The Request for something special

It’s been 10 years since I started making all-natural skincare products, helping as many as I could to resolve a variety of issues from dryness, cracked skin, acne, eczema, burns and scars.  I would never have thought that during my most trying times that I could my own frustration and experiences to help others.

Most recently, I was asked to make a new bespoke product for my client, who has been struggling with dehydration of her skin whilst undergoing chemotherapy.

My thought process is always about what are the best all-natural ingredients that can be combined to give the most effective results.  I wanted to chose ingredients that provide the most benefits without overpowering the smell of the blend, especially when applied to sensitive areas like one’s face.

Utilising my array of studies in Holistic Skincare Products & Aromatherapy, I began researching what kinds of all-natural ingredients would be best to help resolve not only facial dryness but wrinkles caused from chemotherapy treatment.  Asking my client to send me a picture of her face, I decided that a liquid blend would be the better option to assist in rehydrating and rejuvenating her skin’s condition.

With Aromatherapy, some oils and essential oils can’t be used for certain health conditions, or age groups.  Writing my list of potential ingredients and calculating what would be added, I began blending a thickish liquid that can be applied quickly.  I wanted to ensure the product would be easily absorbed into the skin.   What’s great about being the Alchemist is trying the products that are made.

After a quick shower, I lathered myself in the leftover product, applying it to my arms, tummy and legs, noticing how wonderfully soft it is, and how far those few drops can be spread.

A blend to help calm the ADHD over-activity, I made a blend including Vetiver, Cedarwood, Rosemary, Peppermint, Lavender, Ylang Ylang and Frankincense in a Coconut Oil base.  This blend was applied to the nasal and wrist areas to assist with relaxation.  This comes in a 10ml serum bottle.

For an autoimmune condition that appeared all over the bodies of a few kids in our area, I made an anti-bacterial blend that was easily spreadable, with ingredients like Eucalyptus, Tea Tree Oil, Tamanu, Grapeseed Oil, Lemon and Carrot Seed.  This comes in a 50ml bottle.

Within a short space of time, the bumpy rash that was all over the child’s skin had subsided until it disappeared completely 2 weeks later.  We were so relieved with the quick results as it meant the itching irritation had gone.

Others clients have requested bespoke products due to the existing range containing ingredients that they are allergic or intolerant to. Making blends without Wheatgerm or Coconut oil to ensure that using the Essentially Lili range does not have any unwanted side-effects.
