Did you know that much of what we put on our skin absorbs into our body, almost as if we had eaten it?
There is a myth in our modern culture that somehow all the lotions, hair products, and soaps that we put on ourselves are only affecting our exterior – with zero impact on our interior. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
On the hunt for more facts, I recently sought out skincare expert Rachel Pachivas from Annmarie Skincare (our favorite wildcrafted beauty brand) to answer some burning questions we had. She took me through a few powerful ways to prevent unwanted toxins from finding their way into your medicine cabinet, and also how to naturally nourish your skin.
I’ve shared the full video interview below, but here’s a vital warning / tip before we get to that…
A gentle warning that the word “organic” doesn’t always guarantee that your skincare products are 100% toxin-free. After digging into some of the biggest “natural” beauty brands, we found that many have cut corners and exploited loopholes.
When researching your favorite lotions, oils, and shampoos, please be on the lookout for these sneaky intruders:
1.) Parabens – An extremely common preservative that has been shown to disrupt estrogen production and has also been detected in malignant tumors.
2.) Phthalates – Usually hidden under the word “fragrance,” a known hormone disruptor linked to reproductive defects.
3.) Benzoyl Peroxide – Known skin and eye irritant; linked to the promotion of tumor growth.
4.) Triclosan – According to the EPA, this is a serious pesticide. Enough said.
Our bodies just don’t know how to process things that aren’t natural, aka from the Earth. Lab-made facial products are prone to cause inflammation, breakouts, scarring and even more serious things like cancer.
Ok, are you ready for some fun, practical, and natural DIY beauty tips?

How do I order these products
Hi Carroll,
You may click here to order 🙂
I believe there is something amiss with your website here for orders.
Hi Barbara,
How do you mean? To order this specific offer, please click here.
Really enjoyed the chat … hope to hear about their hair care products once they launch it.
Glad you enjoyed the interview! Stay tuned for more 🙂
Thank you for the interview with Rachel from Annemarie skincare. I have tried these products and they are absolutely heavenly! A bit expensive but considering their pureness and the essential oils which are expensive one can understand why. On top of that the dark glass used for the products are the perfect match to make them top quality. I won’t be buying the offer this time because I’ll be needing travel size bottles that will last a whole month for a future trip to Asia. These will last only a week. I recommend everyone Annemarie’s products. You won’ t regret it.

Hi Rachel, I would love so much to trial and use your products, but the postage to Australia is
so very expensive. Is there any way around this. Best Wishes, Mim.

Great interview Nick…..I LOVE this company and have used several of their products consistently since their early days! They add so much to my day, and at 63 (today is BD), I’m often told my skin is lovely! And, of course, I then share why….hehe! Aging, and/or aging gracefully, beats the alternative….put in the time to care on all levels. Blessings…..G
I really love hearing you talk about your product, company,unfortunately at my age following through with your research is just so time consuming, so much so I would never get out of my home or the organic shops with so many questions. Love your video regards Lynette from qld Aus please don’t inundate me with much literature.
