Microbeads have been making waves (for all the wrong reasons) in the beauty industry. In the past few years, the media has really shone a spotlight on just how detrimental microbeads are to our planet.
What are microbeads?
Microbeads are minuscule beads of plastic commonly found in beauty products such as exfoliators and body scrubs.
How do microbeads damage the environment?
Microbeads are made from plastic and when used in beauty products, they cannot break down. Instead, microbeads are washed down the sink and invariably end up in our rivers, lakes and oceans 🌊
Microbeads contain toxic chemicals which when ingested by our marine life, can cause irreversible damage. To make matters worse, when we ourselves farm and consume fish, we are also ingesting microbeads. It’s a neverending cycle that’s harmful to all involved.
Just one beauty product containing microbeads can result in 5,000 to 100,000 microbeads being released into the ecosystem 🌱
What action is being taken against microbeads?
In positive news, the American Food & Drug Authority has banned the use of microbeads in cosmetic and beauty products with both America and Canada listing microbeads as a toxic ingredient.
In Australia, the use of microbeads isn’t yet banned. However, large supermarket chains like Woolworths, Coles and Aldi are taking action by banning products that contain microbeads from sale.
✔️ Meet the alternative: Jojoba Peeling Cream! 🥰 a mechanical exfoliant that re-surfaces and smooths the complexion. Containing all-natural spheres of jojoba wax, not only are the beads planet-friendly, but they also break down during the exfoliation process leaving the waterways clear.
✔️ Jojoba Peeling Cream is a crowd-pleaser 👑 suitable for all skin conditions. Because of the spherical jojoba beads the skin will not be scratched or irritated.
✔️ The result? Pores are thoroughly cleaned while dead skin will be removed without damaging the skin’s protective mechanism.
✔️ Over-exfoliation can strip the acid mantle. It’s best used twice per week to remove blackheads, treat congestion, improve skin vitality and minimise flaking.

feelin’ herbie? 🌿
herbs2peel is a successfully proven, natural peeling method for skin regeneration based on a mixture of pure herbs. Its natural composition is completely free from chemical substances, synthetic binders and abrasives, without any toxic side effects. This natural blend contains proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, enzymes, phytohormones, mineral salts, tannins and trace elements.
So how does it work?? 🤔
The herbs are combined with specially developed products and massaged into the skin. Micro-particles from the herbs will remove the uppermost layers of the skin while active nutrients penetrate deep into the skin where their nutritive properties remain active for a longer time period. When touching the treated skin, clients feel a “needling effect”- demonstrating the herbal particles effects in the skin over a longer time period. Skin’s circulation is increased, regeneration is stimulated. A potent method based on the power of pure herbs.
Okay perfect! Is it suitable for me? The amazing thing about this peeling method is that it’s suitable for all skin types / skin conditions with 5 different peeling methods. There is zero downtime. This peel is recommended once a month and results can be maintained with a suitable home care routine.
