It’s a month of markets!
This Saturday I’m back at Johnstone Town Hall with the fantastic Wild Ivy. These are such beautifully curated events with such a wonderful array of talented artisan. Take a wee look at my stories to see what mean.

Rescue Balm made its official debut at last Saturday’s market and it was a sell out. Back in the apothecary today making a fresh batch.

This is a product very close to my heart, being one of the very first preparations I formulated. It was made with so much love, and specifically for my son.

Since he was a very small toddler he has been affected by eczema. Over the years we tried various natural remedies and balms and sometimes had to resort to steroid creams when things became unmanageable.

Anyone who suffers with this condition knows how distressing it is and to watch your child become an adult with this constant battle is heart breaking. To have been able to support my son's skin was what powered me through my journey to become a skincare formulator.

For so long this balm has been known as 'Dillon balm' in our family. But now it's making it's debut with a new name,

Formulated with the unique Tamanu Oil a power house anti-inflammatory that has demonstrated an ability to rapidly regenerate new skin, repair nerves and diminish scars.

Medicinal herbs Calendula, Comfrey and Lavender further enhance its healing qualities to soothe and repair inflamed, irritated and itchy skin.

It's a medicine cabinet staple, it's great for soothing bug bites and minor cuts and grazes and 'rescuing' skin from eczema and inflamed acne flareups while also supporting skin issues including rosacea, rashes, itchy inflamed skin and psoriasis.

All set up for today’s market at the Cutty Sark Centre Ayr

How’s your skin barrier?
Exfoliators, cleansers with harsh surfactants or over-cleansing strips away the protective lipids and proteins your skin needs to retain moisture. This leaves skin vulnerable to dehydration, redness, irritation, and breakouts.

A compromised barrier lacks the resilience to keep environmental irritants out, leading to sensitivity and dryness. The tell-tale sign that your cleanser is damaging your barrier is a “squeaky-clean” or tight sensation after cleansing. Healthy skin should feel soft, plump, and comfortable after cleansing.

Purity Cleanser Concentrate has been formulated to support the protective skin barrier it’s beneficial blend of organic plant oils have been chosen for their ability to effectively dissolve impurities on the surface of the skin and within the pores, without disrupting our natural protective skin barrier and beneficial microbiome.

Rich in carotenoids and antioxidants from botanicals including Lavender, Calendula, and Liquorice and anti-inflammatory oils such as Chia and Seasame seed, it has antibacterial properties, to relieve irritation and calm the skin.

Rooted in nature, informed by modern science, this is organic skincare crafted with whole plants to truly nourish and support skin, for a glow that is wild!
