About Ali O. and Her Skin Care Products
 |
| Ali O. in Heavenly Lavender Field |
My Mother always taught my Sisters and I how important it was to take care of our skin, and I am so thankful to her. She insisted on teaching us her skin care regime which involved washing, exfoliating, toning, and moisturizing our skin. It was ingrained in us. I guess we’re lucky, because we enjoyed the ritual of it all. Needless to say, our Mom ended up paying for all these products. Yea!
When I left home, I of course continued on with my ritual, and became interested in making products that were more natural than you could find in the stores. Making my own products was also fresher, custom, no garbage ingredients, and less expensive. That was 17 years ago, and my passion is still going strong.
Because of my skin care product passion, I became interested in herbs, botanicals, medicinal essential oils, and complimentary alternative (holistic) medicine. That interest led me to believe that I needed more education. I found an accredited school in Portland, Oregon-The American College of Healthcare Sciences. There-I received a certificate in Natural Product Manufacturing and a certificate in Aromatherapy. This experience was and still is-SO inspiring and consuming-a true Love.
I believe my products reflect my love and passion for excellent skin care products. I am proud that I have researched and formulated each product with only beneficial ingredients that I would use myself-which I do everyday!!!! I bring my products to you, as fresh as can be, and formulated for skin health. Ali O.
Through the years I have learned the terminology of cosmetic ingredients and what they are, by reading the labels and using my cosmetic dictionary. Getting familiar with the terms helps me make buying decisions. Below are two books-cosmetic ingredient dictionary and safe cosmetics. You can find these books at Amazon.com.
A Consumer’s Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients, 7th Edition: Complete Information About the Harmful and Desirable Ingredients Found in Cosmetics and Cosmeceuticals by Ruth Winter (Oct 20, 2009)
There are also online databases that you can use to look up ingredients. I prefer to have my dictionary with me in the store.

| Yummy Fresh!! REAL!!!!! |
The video below, also has to do with ingredients– in the food industry and their food label claims and food label guidelines, . Mike Adams who is known as ”Health Ranger”-has solved the mystery of the missing blueberries. It’s quite an interesting video on the blueberries that are missing in the foods that are advertised as having blueberries. Instead these foods have petro-chemical food colorings and who know the effects of food coloring, hydrogenated oils, and a plethora of other items that make up BLUEBERRIES!!!!! They also mention some companies that actually HAVE blueberries in the product, AND some even organic!! These companies that make false claims and false blueberries are raking in the money on cheap, crappy, bad for you ingredients. Don’t buy into this. I want real blueberries AND we do have a choice!!
Ali O. It's fun to find out how you came to your level of passion and your expertise in making your skin care products.
ReplyDeleteI've used your minty fresh exfoliant and really liked the zing. Also your rich emolliant moisturizer and lotion. Oh yeah and your lavender foam lives in my guest bathroom!
Your facial care products are fantastic.
It's nice to see that you are a real person!
