Australian Scent Natural Skin Care
A small natural skin care company in Houston Texas, Australian Scent, is doing some pretty amazing things with its products and in the process developing a strong dedicated following.
Australian Scent is the result of the husband and wife team of Eddie and Megan Enriquez who started the company after becoming frustrated with conventional solutions to common skin conditions like psoriasis.
The company has developed a diverse line of skin care products made from 100% natural ingredients. The formulations are designed with the most sensitive of skin types in mind. “We formulate without using water to dilute and without artificial fillers, so all of our products are highly concentrated, often enabling immediate results,” said co-founder Megan Enriquez.
“Using only essential oils and organic botanical extracts for scent and color, our approach to every product is a positive 'no compromise' approach. no parabens, no sulfates, no animal cruelty, no worries.”
The company’s best selling product is the Balm of Gilead, a concentrated face and body moisturizer. This product showcases what Australian Scent is all about. Balm of Gilead hydrates while conditioning and provides the skin essential nutrients. Balm of Gilead is ideal for all skin types and its high content of essential fatty acids bring natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties with them.
Sustainable is Good Products had the opportunity to try a number of Australian Scent’s products. Overall we found them to be of consistently high quality and the attention to detail in the product formulation is clearly evident. When you first look at Australian Scent products you realize you have a product reconceptualizing the conventional idea of skin care. The only other line of products we’ve seen that are somewhat similar are those produced by the UK skin care company Lush.
Since skin care is such an individual class of products with people having different needs from their products we felt it would be better to focus on the overall quality of the products as opposed to reporting on them individually. However there is one product which we all felt was truly unique and worth singling out.
Cleansing Stream is that product. All we can say is wow – having tried and tested numerous skin care products we’ve never encountered anything like this.
It’s a cleanser and toner in one. When first applied the product seems a little oily not what you’d expect from a toner. However using the recommended small amount on a tissue and spread over the face the product quickly absorbs into the skin. The results are simply amazing. All of our testers commented on how the product left their skin feeling soft and wonderfully conditioned.
Australian Scent products are available locally in the Houston area and on the internet through their web site.
The company encourages customers to send back used packaging bottles, which they sterilize and reuse. The company owners dislike waste and are focused on delivering a natural product in the most eco-friendly way.
We will definitely keep an eye on this company and report back on new products and future developments.

Hey everyone,
Another great ORGANIC skin care line that is certified is MADE FROM EARTH. I have been using their products for the last 6 months - and now stopped. . . Because my skin has naturally improved itself using its organic ingredients.
I have seen a real decline in the amount of wrinkles on the side of my eyes. I would recommend the "VITAMIN ENHANCED FACE FIRMING SERUM". This is the anti wrinkle serum I only used for 6 months and now stopped because it naturally has improved my owns skins ability to heal itsefl and become much firmer. This is because it uses the organic compound DMAE and is infused with REAL vitamins….not synthetic vitamins…
As a body lotion, I use the HONEY HONEY lotion. It smells like honey and my husband likes it. I recommend you buy from their website….because at Whole Foods they are usually sold at full price….but the website now has a sale going on… www.madefromearth.com

I'm working to operate my very own website yet I believe its as well standard and I would like to concentrate much more on smaller tips. Becoming all items to all most people is not really all that its crumbled as much as be.

I haven't tried one of these Australian Scent products yet. But, I am intrigued. I have stumbled upon plenty of 'natural' cosmetics and beauty products, which still have a truck load of chemical ingredients in them. I'll make sure I grab one of these Australian Scent products soon.
