Favourite Finds – Why we’re loving Jacqueline Evans

April 9, 2014

Jacqueline Evans Organic Beauty Products

You may recall, a little while ago Ruby wrote about one of her favourite finds of the moment – Jacqueline Evans Jojoba and Camellia Nut Balancing cream. Although this was our first experience with her products, we were quickly converted.

Well guess what beauties – we have more to tell!

A Conscious Beauty was fortunate enough to be gifted one of the Jacqueline Evans sample packs from the lovely lady herself. The set of four little sample pots can be bought from Jacqueline’s own store and are a fabulous way to get familiar with one her cleansers, a scrub and two of her moisturisers. As the products are rich in quality, you only need a little so they do last a couple of days.

Favourite Finds – Jacqueline Evans Jojoba & Camellia Balancing Cream

February 17, 2014

The Jacqueline Evans skincare range first caught my attention in an unusual way when she was featured on one of my favourite design blogs – The Design Files. It was her ‘Tasty Tuesday’ fare and attention to the Hippocrates concept of ‘food is medicine’ that made me think this Melbourne Naturopath is really on to something.

Of course, it was fitting that a Naturopath whose goal is to nourish the skin from the inside out, would also create one of the most beautiful Organic Skincare ranges on the market. And did I say the packaging is bold yet elegant? Music to my ears!

The Jacqueline Evans range definitely ticks all the boxes on A Conscious Beauty’s checklist – and some. Her products are 100% Australian owned and made, use the highest quality botanicals, cold pressed oils and are enriched with vitamins and herbals.

Good For You Ingredients – Argan Oil

I love oils! You know I’m head over heals for Coconut Oil but one oil which has recently grabbed my attention is Moroccan Argan Oil. It was an oil that I had heard of but never indulged in, until by chance I was given a bottle as a secret Santa present in December (my friends know me well!).

Moroccan Argan Oil (argania spinosa) is a very rare and special tree, as it is only grown in the dry and harsh environment of South West Morocco. The Berber women of the region have known of it’s healing properties for hundreds of years time but its popularity as a cosmetic ingredient has increased in the Western world in the last 5 years.

Why you should go organic at that time of the month

Being A Conscious Beauty is about living a life that follows a holistic approach to beauty, both inside and out. For us, this means making conscious choices every day about the products that touch our skin. It is being confident that what you put on your skin, is as clean and natural as that green smoothie you devoured this morning.

One product often hidden from view (but plays a pivotal role every month for a large part of a women’s life) are personal hygiene products. Yes we are talking about tampons and pads. Yes Tampons and pads ladies!

One of my little secrets is that I have a number of girl crushes on female entrepreneurs (sprung!). One woman who recently stood out to me, is Aimee Marks and her Australian born and bred company – TOM Organic. She is all things tampons and pads, and her mission that started as a teenager has become an amazing organic product with a huge vision. While I could chat all day about her entrepreneurial skills, we should probably get down to the nitty-gritty of WHY organic tampons?
