Want soft, smooth, hydrated skin?
Here are Five Essentials for Beautiful Skin in our 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and beyond!
#1. Supporting our Skin’s Barrier Function
As we age, our skin barrier weakens and our skin produces less of those fats and oils that keep it soft, supple and hydrated.
So we might notice our skin is drier, flakier, scaly, itchy, sensitive, prone to redness and breakouts.
We can love and support our ‘grown-up’ skin with moisturisers that contain the same kinds of fatty acids and cholesterol found naturally in our skin and skin barrier for softer, smoother, more hydrated skin.
#2. Protective Cholesterol in our Skin – I kid you not!
Cholesterol is critical for healthy skin and for strengthening our skin’s barrier function.
But as we age, the protective cholesterol in our skin goes down by as much as 40%
This weakens our skin’s barrier, causing dry skin, redness and fine lines and wrinkles to look deeper.
Moisturisers containing cholesterol can help soften, smooth, hydrate and protect dry skin (like ours ⬇️)
#3. Skin Smoothing Collagen
As we age, we lose collagen in our skin causing our skin to shrivel, shrink and fold in on itself.
It’s a natural part of aging – but we can slide more softly into our 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and beyond by eating or drinking collagen to help boost our body’s own collagen production.
This can help smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity.
#4. Vitamin C + Antioxidants
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from UV and free radical damage …and it also helps regulate collagen in skin.
Both Vitamin C and collagen are essential for supporting our skin structure and barrier function to retain moisture in skin for plump, hydrated looking skin.
The best whole food sources of Vitamin C on the planet are: Camu Camu, Acerola and Kakadu Plum.
#5. Omega Essential Fatty Acids
If we’re not getting enough Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids – our skin’s barrier becomes weakened and our skin is drier, rougher, flaky, scaly or prone to redness and irritation.
Omega 3 fatty acids are essential for helping our skin stay soft, supple and hydrated at every age.
Eating Omega 3 containing foods or taking Omega 3 supplements can support our skin’s barrier to ensure our skin is looking at it’s very best.
Is there a woman who hasn’t looked in the mirror and wondered if they need some kind of 8-step ‘anti-aging’ beauty routine?
We think you shouldn’t have to use a whole heap of skin care products to look ‘beautiful’ (or even ‘acceptable’) – especially in our 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and beyond.
Our ethos at Ecology Skincare is simple is good and less is more…
…which is why we make it possible to simplify your skin care routine down to just a few products that support your skin’s barrier function and leave skin looking plump and healthy at every age.
We think healthy skin is beautiful – with or without wrinkles.
…and our Ecology Creams are the perfect multi-tasking moisturisers for healthy looking skin.
They contain the same kinds of fatty acids and cholesterol found naturally in healthy skin.
Cholesterol is found in so few skincare products, but it is in our Ecology Creams, because it’s found naturally in our hero ingredient… grass-fed tallow.
(grass-fed tallow is like emu oil, but it comes from healthy grass-fed cows – so this isn’t for our vegan friends)
Grass-fed tallow supports our skin’s barrier function to better soften, smooth, hydrate and protect ‘grown up’ skin.
Our range of moisturisers are perfect for supporting barrier function for sensitive and super dry skin.
We make them by hand in small batches on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria
And you can use them anywhere that needs a little TLC or hydration – face, hands, arms, legs – everywhere

Don’t just take our word for it…
Meet Tracey – “I have spent $1,000’s on organic moisturisers, trying to find the right one for my very dry, sensitive skin”
“I work in the mining industry, which is very harsh on my skin… my skin was always dry again by lunch time, no matter what product I tried.
Since I discovered Ecology, my skin holds its moisture, even after 12 hrs. I moisturise in the morning and I can still feel my skin is smooth and hydrated at the end of the shift.”
Meet Jenny – “I wasn’t sure if my fine lines were improved until I looked back at some photos from last year. Wow there is a difference”
“I am retired and have been travelling around our beautiful country in my caravan for a couple of years… but the harsh Australian climate has not been kind to me.
I love the dry skin range as my skin always feels soft. I don’t have that tight, dry feeling ever with the Ecology Rejuvenating Cream… even when its cold.”
Meet Cathy – “I’ve had this skin hyper-sensitivity most of my life, so when I say nothing’s ever worked like this it’s no exaggeration”
“My skin reacts to everything… I just can hardly believe the difference the Soothing Baby Cream has made to the area above my top lip which had blistered from medication reactivity…
First application to my upper lip area calmed it down noticeably, three days later most of the redness was gone & flaking skin had started to disappear.”
Meet Grace – “I can not believe the visible difference… I have less fine lines around my eyes and plumper skin”
“I thought I would put this ‘to the test’ and religiously applied the Ecology Skincare to one side of my face and my current product on the other side.
After three months, I can not believe the visible difference in the two sides of my face …and people can see the difference!”
