Koah Skin Naturals Effective, plant-based, planet-conscious skincare But it's also more than that. Skin care can be so much more than just caring for your skin!

Koah was created from a desire to use simple, sustainable, plant-based and effective skincare for my family and our own dry-skin-related issues, as well as from a life-long curiosity and love of natural, kinder alternatives. It's about taking a moment out of a busy day to appreciate the beautiful ingredients, to appreciate the feel of them on the skin and to immerse yourself in the exquisite essential oils, noticing the effect that they can have on your mood.

Bakuchiol

ORIGIN: Seeds and leaves of the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant (native to India and used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries)

BENEFITS: Many scientific studies now prove that bakuchiol shows similar regenerative results to retinol in terms of improving signs of aging, UV damage and scarring, but without the sensitivity issues that retinol can bring as it functions differently in the skin. It repairs and calms, and improves texture of the skin.

This rest and regenerate formulation blends the maximum recommended use level of bakuchiol with squalane, rosehip, vitamin E and beautiful neroli essential oil for a moment of caaaaaalm before bed, or ahead of a busy day.

USE: I love this as a few drops on damp skin as a face oil, or added to a usual moisturiser to supercharge it (daytime followed by SPF).

RESULTS: One week in, skin feels really lovely and soft, though I'm yet to measure the wrinkle depth for comparison 😍

Let's see how it goes!

Thank you for everything, planet. You're amazing ❤️

In honour of your awesomeness, I thought I'd include a few of my favourite recent photos to show my appreciation 🌿

Wow, I smell amazing! 😁
My Neroli essential oil blend arrived this morning - I'm obsessed! I had forgotten how much I love it.

Neroli - or Orange Blossom - is an expensive oil.
The fragrant white flowers (which would go on to be Seville oranges) are hand picked and the oil extracted by steam distillation.

As a by-product of this distillation process, Orange Blossom floral water is produced - this makes an amazing toner base!

Neroli is known for its ability to promote healthy glowing skin and is highly effective in products for mature skin, stimulating the growth of new cells.

Emotionally, it's the go-to for anxiety, nervous tension and depression, with a euphoric, sweet, floral fragrance.

It's often the base of high-end perfumes too!

I think this essential oil will be finding its way into a facial serum very soon!

Big shout out to CLEAVERS
(also known as goosegrass, sticky w**d, bedstraw, and lots of other names!)
At some point in our lives, we've all walked around with a piece unknowingly stuck to our backs!

But here's a fun fact: it's often enjoyed as a refreshing cold infusion made by infusing the aerial parts (leaves and stems) in boiling water, and enjoyed with ice throughout the day. It is a powerful diuretic - flushing out toxins, decreasing lymphatic congestion and reducing swelling.

It appears in the spring when immune systems are sluggish and in need of a boost (clever!)

And for the skin, it has a long history of traditional use in Chinese medicine to treat skin infections and wounds and has been used for centuries to treat sunburn, eczema, psoriasis and acne.

I just love that these little miracle plants are all around us, appear when we need them most, and we don't realise just how amazing they are!

This was an early attempt at a potent overnight moisturiser with:

🌱 zero-waste and super-light cucumber seed oil
🌱 luxurious and rich rosehip seed oil
🌱 fabulous squalane for softness and elasticity

🌱 Two botanical extracts are added to address wrinkle depth and skin smoothness (YES, please!)

And I wish you could smell it: just a very delicate fragrance of clary sage, which is believed to help ease frazzled nerves.

Perfect combo for bedtime!😴

Gorgeously light and quick to sink in, cucumber oil is also ZERO WASTE. I use this oil in a number of formulations where a light feel is needed. It's another one of my favourites

Avocado oil - brilliant on mature and dry skin as it's rich, intensely nourishing and highly protective.

Avocado oil is especially lovely in a blend if you struggle with dry, flaky skin - particularly in the winter. Applied to damp skin, it locks in moisture and protects against the elements.

Intense yellow-almost-green in colour, with a nutty aroma. It's a dry-skin essential (or rather a not-dry-skin essential) :-)
