Why should you make your own DIY skin care?
Because additives in our daily care products are often bad for your skin, but also for nature.
Many ingredients are potentially carcinogenic or hormone disruptive. The palm oil that is used affects the habitat of the last orang-utans. And the jars and bottles disappear into the plastic soup.
Fortunately, there is a solution:
Make your own DIY skin care
Make the switch to sustainable. Buy sustainable products. And if a label contains a jumble of incomprehensible words, leave it be. If you make your own DIY skin care products, you know exactly what is in them.
And especially what it doesn’t contain.
Say goodbye to harmful additives
It is much better for you and for nature.
If you want to make your own DIY skin care, where should you start?
I started DIY skin care myself years ago. I still buy products, but I make the basics myself.
I have compiled some of my most important recipes in a DIY skin care free e-book. You can download it for free and start making your first DIY skin care products today.
DIY skin care products that are good for you and for nature
- Why making your own products is a good way to take care of yourself and of nature

- How to make a body scrub and bath salts in different scents.

Why should you make skin care products yourself?
Because skin care products are often Skin-irritating
Because ingredients are used that are cheap or because it foams. Can you believe that? Skin care products that do exactly the opposite of what you buy them for. Yet it is often the reality.
Because skin care products accelerate deforestation
Try to find products that do not contain palm oil. It is quite a job. You really have to be an expert to read skin care product labels. If you know that palm oil and its derivatives are hidden under 200 different names. The Orangutan Alliance lists over 200 names of products or ingredients derived from palm oil on their website
Tropical rainforest is being cut down and exchanged for palm oil plantations. Not only for skin care. But why would you use products that help end something as beautiful as tropical rainforest? Especially if it can be done differently. Better for you and for nature.
