Ecology Stories
Meet Rosslyn – “I can see the benefit in my hands, especially. They are softer and firmer and don’t look as wrinkly.”
Nov
Rosslyn’s poor dry hands bruise easily nowadays and have been extra dry with all the hand washing.
But then she found our Daily Moisturiser with Hemp and Nerolina and she loves that it protects her hands and helps protect her granddaughter’s skin when they’re prone to acne breakouts.
Here’s Rosslyn’s story…
“I hate having dry skin, but I especially felt sad seeing my grand daughters worrying about their acne. Life can be hard enough without having to cope with teenage acne.
I live with my husband in a unit we built in the backyard of my son, daughter in law and three grand daughters. Family is very important to me.
My face and hands were dry in winter months and my two older grand daughters were just starting to get acne.
I’ve tried everything, both natural and not very healthy, but nothing worked long term.
My grand daughters had not used anything and I didn’t want to start them on the usual skin routine of cleanser, toner and moisturiser.
I use the Ecology Daily Moisturiser with Hemp & Nerolina. This is also my grand daughters’ favourite and it works for them, getting rid of the acne. With hormonal changes, it does come back at times, but they always use your Ecology Creams at the first sign of acne.
The smell is divine, with the lemon scented tea tree, frankincense and vanilla, being very uplifting, making me feel good in myself.
It feels great on my face but is particularly good on my hands, which bruise easily. Just a little bump causes a bruise these days. Think my skin is thinning, due to age most likely. The bruises now disappear within two days and a red, angry looking scratch on my hand has gone too. It’s wonderful stuff.
I can see the benefit in my hands, especially. They are softer and firmer and don’t look as wrinkly.
We all only use the basics, which is to cleanse our skin with your konjac sponge, then use your moisturiser. I use these every day. The girls use often, but very quickly use daily if acne appears.
I love that my skin is soft and never dry. I am glad that my grand daughters are happy with their skin and being able to keep acne away.”

We are beyond happy for Rosslyn and her grand daughters!
It’s always a win when you finally find something that not only helps to soften and hydrate dry skin and leaves your skin feeling moist and comfortable all day – but also helps to calm the look of acne prone skin.
Now you might be wondering why Rosslyn’s skin loves her Daily Moisturiser more than all the other moisturisers she’s tried…
Our Ecology Creams are handmade with a little known ingredient called 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 might be ‘little known’ now… but everyone from the Aboriginal Australians to our great grandmothers used to use traditional animal fats like tallow, for everything from burns and chafing to blisters and wound healing.
And the reason why grass-fed tallow is so amazing for skin – particularly dry skin?
- It really closely mimics fats and oils found naturally in healthy, youthful skin.
- It contains fat soluble vitamins A, D, E & K …all of which are crucial for healthy skin (some of these are also antioxidants)
- It’s balanced in omega 3’s and 6’s …both are important for healthy skin
So this means grass-fed tallow can help replace missing lipids (the natural fats and oils) in skin’s outer layer …keeping moisture IN and allergens and irritants OUT.
…and helping to soften dry skin and leave it looking plump and well hydrated.
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.
So why is it the big brand moisturisers fail to really nourish super dry skin?
It’s because big brand moisturisers are typically 50-80% water (or aqua)
Take a look and you’ll see water as a first ingredient in many of these products.
But this means, there’s only 20-50% left for the skin nourishing ingredients.
Compare this to the Ecology Moisturisers..
they’re are 100% natural fats and oils (no water), so they’re highly concentrated to better soften skin and smooth out the look of fine lines.
Rosslyn likes our Daily Moisturiser with Hemp and Nerolina + Konjac Sponge…
Daily Moisturiser with Hemp & Nerolina
Less rich and perfect for normal combination skin Contains camellia and frankincense to soften skin and smooth fine lines. Lemon scented tea tree and hemp can be helpful for breakouts.
Facial Konjac Sponge Pure
For gentle cleansing, just add water perfect for dry and sensitive skinWe’ve also had good feedback from other customers (like Rosslyn) who’ve also used our Rejuvenating Cream, Replenishing Cream and Daily Moisturiser with Ylang Ylang to help hydrate dry skin.
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 and skin issues.
The Rejuvenating Cream is also ultra rich and contains kanuka oil (which is in the same family as manuka oil and tea tree). Kanuka oil is well known for helping with skin irritations.
The Daily Moisturiser with Ylang Ylang is lighter in texture than our other Ecology Creams… it contains camellia, kakadu plum and frankincense to protect against signs of ageing… and it has a delightful aroma.
