I create beautiful, gentle, skincare and handmade soaps designed to soothe and calm, made from 100% natural oils and botanicals.
Fabula Botanical Skincare products are lovingly made for all types of skin, even the most sensitive skin (like mine).
I use clays, pure essential oils, herbal extracts and infusions, vegetable oils and healing botanicals.
You won't find any synthetic fragrances, sulphates, parabens or harmful colourants. My soaps and skin care products are pure, natural, calming and moisturising.
No nasties, No chemicals, No bull!
I have a passion for natural healing. With my struggles with eczema and allergies I have tried all of the mainstream drugs including many doses of steroids, even immune suppressants to calm my flare ups. But I believe balancing the body and mind naturally is the best way for long term health. Reducing the chemicals we are exposed to is essential for sensitive skin and natural, pure products are the way to keep our system from becoming overloaded. I have a Diploma in Natural Skincare and an absolute passion for healing with the plants that have been grown for generationns for this purpose.
I believe in sustainable Palm Oil so all of my soaps contain just that. I buy it from a soap making supplier in Auckland who sources from a member of the RSPO (Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil). The RSPO was started in 2003 by the World Wildlife Fund for Nature and partners. Growers must meet 8 main principles and criteria to be members.
There are alternatives to Palm Oil (some of them are actually cheaper) and I have started investigating them to see if they produce a good bar of soap. My main concern is that replacing palm oil with some other types of vegetable oil would mean that much larger amounts of land would need to be used, since palm trees produce 4-10 times more oil than other crops per unit of cultivated land. This would result in serious environmental damage, with the risk that more forests would need to be converted into agricultural land.
When I started making soap – I chose RSPO certified suppliers because the people who are growing and producing using sustainable practices need our support. If everyone stops buying from them, then only the unethical operators will be left and the deforestation and animal displacements will be worse.
I believe that everyone needs to make their own call based on their beliefs about what is right and what is best.
