The brand was founded by Jamie Geurtjens. Whilst doing a bit of research on natural products for families with sensitive skin, she discovered that not all natural skincare products are toxin free. After studying and completing a range of natural health and medicine papers which included topics such as massage, aromatherapy and nutrition, she decided to create the Clean Green Skincare Company. The skincare company prides itself on being 100% natural and toxin free, and has just become an organic skincare company.
The company is based on the belief that everything we apply to our skin is absorbed into our bloodstream (something I totally agree with!), therefore, all the products we use on our skin should be 100% pure and natural. As well as using safe products on our skin, Jamie also believes in the importance of looking after the environment. You can rest assured knowing that any of the products residue that washes off down the drain, will not be harmful towards precious marine life and is completley eco-friendly.
After contacting Jamie regarding trying out some of her wonderful products, she was generous enough to give me the Healing Salve – with Calendula, Tea Tree & Lavender Essential Oil to try out and review. Heres what I thought!
Made from 100% certified ingredients including sunflower and olive oil, New Zealand beeswax, shea butter and lavender, calendula and tea tree oil, this product smelt and felt amazing. The texture of the salve was smooth and velvety, perfect for applying to sensitive, irritated and dry skin. Only a small amount of the salve was needed which immediately resulted in skin feeling soothed and hydrated. Before going to bed, I would apply a thicker layer which helped to heal my skin over night. While reviewing the product, I came down with the flu which left me with dry, sore skin around my nose. The healing salve worked instantly to heal my skin, and I really noticed a difference after the first use.
I found it perfect to use as a natural nail/cuticle treatment for applying after removing nail polish, and wonderful for soothing dry skin (I used mine on blemishes that had dried out and any other dry patches on my face). The calming ingredients in this product such as Lavender Essential Oil were also wonderful to use as a natural sleep aid.
Rating: I throughly enjoyed reviewing this product. It should be a staple product in every household. Since recieving it I have used it as a moisturiser for dry skin, nail treatment, lip balm, blemishes, for cuts and scratches and to soothe the skin around my nose during and after having the flu. At just $24.00 per pot, it is definately value for money. It has been one of my favourite products to review yet and I look forward to browsing through the website for any new products they bring out. 10/10!
