In 2002 Marina's Ambrosia came to life when I was able to help my own skin when no one else could. I had suffered from constant and ongoing reactions to chemicals in skincare and had no idea that this was happening. I just thought this or that particular brand is just not suiting me so I need to try something else.
WOW I gotta tell you, it started to get very very expensive. Lucky for me, just when I was at my wits end and about to go on some serious oral medication, I started a new module in my Natural Therapies studies.
This module in particular highlighted natural plant based ingredients like cocoa butter, jojoba oil, essential oils and other raw ingredients being good for the skin. I found this absolutely fascinating and decided to go and actually read the ingredients on the back of one of my cleansers. Believe me I had over 12 different types of shop cleansers in my collection during my quest for something that will fix my skin. The label had words on it that seemed to use every letter of the alphabet. I decided to try the Internet search engine to help me decode as to what these ingredients were.

OH MY GOODNESS..... I couldn't believe what I was reading!!!! The ingredients were those used in industrial cleaning agents, heavy metals, petroleum extracts, solvents and these were just to name a few. The more I researched the more shocked I became. The only question that came to my mind was "Does anyone out there know of this information??" and then another question followed "Why are they putting this rubbish in our personal care products?" Well the answer to both of those questions is "NO" people don't read their labels to know and if they did they wouldn't understand what was in it and the BRAND MANUFACTURERS use these ingredients because they are cheap, they do the job and the make a lot of money. Simple as that.
But what we now see happening is that people are getting sick.... and they don't know why. It makes me very sad.

| Primrose Moisturizer |
In 2002, I formulated the Primrose Moisturiser. In 3 weeks my skin had improved immensely! It was like a magic cream. But being that I had been let down before by other brands that worked for a short time before my skin reacted, I gave the cream some time. After 6 months, not only did my skin completely heal up, it was looking so very healthy and come THAT time of the month.... only 1 blemish would come through. I learnt to make friends with that 1 blemish that would appear in different areas of my face. That one blemish I could handle. (Sometimes I would wish that if it HAD to come up, it would come up on my backside instead of my face!!) BUT the burning, itching, irritation and a rash like break out...... NO SORRY I cant handle and I wont tolerate.
Just take a moment out of your busy day and just do yourself and your family a favour and just enlighten yourself on what is in ONE of your personal care items, Whether it may be a shampoo, moisturiser, eye cream or even your baby's bath gel. Knowledge is power and it is up to us to arm ourselves with it and pass it on.!!
