As an 80’s child growing up in New Zealand, I have fond memories of mum lathering any old commercial sunscreen on my body, head to toe. 25 years later and through my own journey, I have come to realise that there is so much more to your average sunscreen than we are lead to believe.
Rasasara is a boutique Ayurvedic Organic ‘skinfood’ line that is carefully formulated in Melbourne, Victoria by the passionate Sonia Llyod. I was first introduced to the world of Ayurvedic skincare a couple of years ago when the lovely Lizzy of Primal Junction fame, kindly gifted me with an eye gel for Christmas. It wasn’t until moving to Melbourne that I stumbled upon the full line at my favourite Organic grocer, and of course you know with me – the rest is history!
If you are reading this, you know I’m not just any old natural beauty blogger.
In fact, those closest to me would likely say I am a little obsessed with beauty products, especially those of the Organic kind. When this obsession becomes a blog or as I like to call it – a community to share your passion with the world; there is one question I am commonly asked:
‘so what would you recommend for x, y or z?’
I first stumbled upon the Eco by Sonya brand when I was researching alternatives to conventional fake tans. Perhaps I should clarify that – on one of my many adventures to the health food store looking for a chemical-free alternative to common tanning products, I discovered Eco Tan.
Founded by Sonya Driver in 2011, her product Eco Tan Invisible Tan was launched out of a very personal desire to create Australia’s first Organic tanning product.
We were lucky enough to be gifted some Buddy Scrub to trial – it’s an all natural body scrub which aims to exfoliate, nourish and moisturise you. This product is made in Melbourne, Australia. It’s all natural and tested on humans not animals. I didn’t need any more encouragement to get down and dirty in the shower with this buddy!
