Ecology Stories
Meet Lorraine – “I’d tried numerous creams over the years that promised the world, but did not really seem to work…”
Jul
Lorraine was initially skeptical about the Ecology Creams …and who can blame her?
When you’ve tried so many different products on your dry and reactive skin only to have them cause redness, irritation and breakouts – it’s going to take something quite different to soften and calm dry and easily irritated skin.
But Lorraine’s so happy she decided to try the Ecology Creams…
Here’s Lorraine’s story…
“I am retired and love to travel, sew, walk and spend time with my grandchildren.
I have dry skin, but when using most moisturisers my skin seemed to break out or get red and irritated.
I also suffer from psoriasis, so had tried steroids and numerous creams over the years that promised the world, but did not really seem to work.
I kept on looking for creams that would help – with no real luck.
I saw your ad [for the Ecology Creams] and was skeptical, but thought I would give it try.
I guess the idea of the ingredients in the moisturiser had me intrigued…
…plus you have all of the little tins to sample at a very reasonable price. So really not much of a risk to try even if I didn’t like them.
And once I tried them, I love them all.
The creams are all lovely to use, moisturising, but most of all – don’t cause breakouts with my skin.
It really is an amazing cream.
I use this every day on my face and neck. It is also great for hands and even smooths down dry hair.
I wash my face and apply one of the creams. Usually the pink Daily Moisturiser in summer and the green Revitalising Cream in winter and at night.
I am retired now so don’t have much money to try expensive creams and yours provide a lot of applications per tin.
One tin does multiple tasks. The small tins are great to put in your purse and take everywhere. It is easy to use and ideal when travelling as it is portable, doesn’t take up much space and has multiple uses.
Thanks so much for inventing such a great product.”

We are beyond happy for Lorraine!
It’s always a win when you find something that helps to soften and hydrate dry skin without causing redness, irritation or breakouts …even when it seems like nothing works
Now you might be wondering why the Ecology Creams are so helpful for Lorraine’s dry and reactive skin when other products cause irritation…
Well, 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 dry, itchy skin and irritation.
Cholesterol in particular is helpful for skin that’s dry and easily irritated …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 itching 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 and youthful looking.
…so grass-fed tallow is putting back what time takes away.

We’ve had good feedback from other customers (like Lorraine) who’ve used the moisturisers in our Redness Prone Skin Pack – the Revitalising Cream, Replenishing Cream and Soothing Baby Cream to help Redness Prone Skin.
The Revitalising Cream is rich and has a simple formulation… it contains only a handful of ingredients, including manuka and kanuka oils which are known to be helpful for breakouts and wound healing.
And Lorraine’s other favourite, the Daily Moisturiser with Hemp and Nerolina is lighter in texture. This one is helpful for balancing oil and for plumping and protecting dry or dehydrated skin. It also contains nerolina and lemon scented tea tree oil which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.
