Meet Rachael – “I have extremely sensitive skin… and I finally got to stop looking for a new moisturiser every few months”
Feb
Rachael’s a mum of 2 with extremely sensitive, reactive skin and a dry skin condition that had her looking for a new moisturiser every few months to try soothe and calm her tight, sore skin.
She was over the disappointment of continual failed products and is so relieved to have found her ‘forever’ moisturisers.
Here’s Rachael’s story…
“I’m a mum of two very busy little ones, work part time from home. Love a good wine and a gorgeous waterfall.
I have extremely sensitive skin, get eczema and I react to vitamin E so was struggling to find a moisturiser that didn’t make my eczema worse.
My skin was very sore and tight and I when it got really bad above my eyes and on my eyelids it made me quite self-conscious.
I’d tried Everything. QV, LaRoche Posay, MooGoo. If it was for sensitive skin I’ve tried it and it all failed.
I love the yellow Soothing Baby Cream and recently tried the hemp one and it was very lovely. It will become my day cream while the yellow is my night or on very dry skin days.
In the two years I have been using it …my skin is now no longer flaky and never looks dry and it feels a bit…bouncier?
Like more nourished and less saggy. Very even skin tone as well.
I use a warm face washer with just water or shower and lightly rub with the water and my fingers, then pat dry and moisturise. Daily Moisturiser with Hemp in the morning, Baby Cream with Calendula at night (some mornings if I feel dry). That’s it.
I finally got to stop looking for a new moisturiser every few months and the constant disappointment when my skin would react.
It’s so nice to have something that works so well and I love the sample tins for travelling.”

We are beyond happy for Rachael!
It’s always a win when you finally find something that calms the look and feel of sore sensitive skin and softens dry flaky skin …so you can stop looking for a new moisturiser every few months!
Now you might be wondering why Rachael’s Ecology Creams work so well for her when so many other products haven’t…?
Our skin cells are like bricks… and in between our skin cells, sits a glue or mortar made up of cholesterol, fatty acids and ceramides.
…it works like a living wall that keeps allergens, microbes and irritants out and moisture in.
When our skin’s barrier function becomes disrupted, this is when water can escape from skin and allergens and irritants can get in… leading to redness and irritation.
Cholesterol in particular is helpful for skin that’s dry, sensitive and damaged …but it’s found in so few products.
Cholesterol is in our Ecology Creams, because it’s found naturally in our hero ingredient… grass-fed tallow.
Grass-fed tallow is a gently rendered fat (like emu oil), but it comes from healthy, grass-fed cows
(so this isn’t for our vegan friends!)
Grass-fed tallow contains the same kinds of fats and oils we have naturally in skin. So it soaks in nicely and helps support skin’s barrier function, keeping allergens and irritants out and moisture in.
…so it helps to calm the look of redness and leave skin looking plump and well hydrated.
Grass-fed tallow also:
- Contains fat soluble vitamins A, D, E & K …all of which are crucial for healthy skin (some of these are also antioxidants)
- Is balanced in omega 3’s and 6’s …both are important for healthy skin and balancing immune function
Not only that, as we get older, our skin produces less of those lipids (the fats and oils) that keep it soft, supple.
…so grass-fed tallow is helping to put back what time takes away for soft, healthy looking skin at every age.
Rachael loves our Soothing Baby Cream and Daily Moisturiser with Hemp and Vanilla…

We’ve had good feedback from other customers (like Rachael) who’ve used our Soothing Baby Cream, Daily Moisturiser with Hemp and Vanilla and the other moisturiser in our Dry Skin Conditions Trial Pack (our Replenishing Cream) to help soothe sensitive skin, and soften dry, flaky skin prone to dry skin conditions.
The Replenishing Cream is ultra rich. It has only a handful of ingredients (no essential oils) and is perfect for anyone with dry and sensitive skin or dry skin conditions.
The Soothing Baby Cream is just as gentle as the Replenishing Cream, but a little lighter in texture.
And the Daily Moisturiser with Hemp and Vanilla is the lightest of these 3 moisturisers in texture and it has the same mild vanilla aroma.
