Miessence FAQ

1. Allergies

If I have a nut allergy can I still use miessence products?

miessence tend not use nut ingredients, as a rule, except the tamanu nut oil in the Ambrosia Essence. If someone is highly allergic to nuts, miessence recommend they read their ingredients to ascertain what exactly is in their products. They don’t use nut oils like hazelnut, almond or peanut.

Can I use miessence products if I’m allergic to aloe vera?

Unfortunately, there is not much miessence can do with that, because miessence products are based on aloe vera. Products that don’t contain aloe vera are miessence shimmer crèmes, lip cremes, blush powders, and mineral foundation powders.

Would people who are allergic to plants, trees and grass be able to use miessence product?

It would depend on their specific allergies. Obviously, the fact that miessence products are comprised of ONLY plants, being allergic to plants may pose a problem! miessence suggest that you consult a medical professional prior to using any product if you have any allergies.

2. Aroma & Parfum

 miessence organics

Masks

Rejuvenessence Serum

Ambrosia

Jaffa Lip balm

Lip crèmes

Concealers

Foundation Powders

Blush Powders

Miessence Superfoods

What is the proprietary blend of essential oils (parfum) in miessence products?

This is a proprietary combination of steam-distilled aromatic derivatives of natural herbs, leaves and twigs. It is definitely NOT a synthetic fragrance or perfume. It does not contain added preservatives or antioxidants, has not been irradiated, does not contain genetically modified ingredients and is allowed in certified organic products. It is listed as “parfum” on miessence labels because it is a proprietary blend of many extracts, not just a single extract, and the International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients specifies such ingredients are to be listed as ‘parfum’ or ‘aroma’.

3. Ingredients

Miessence certified organic ingredients

What is the percentage of active ingredients in miessence products?

100% of the ingredients in miessence products are active.

Why do miessence use ethanol (sugar cane alcohol) in the products?

Organic sugar cane alcohol is used to extract miessence fresh herbs and flowers, which are central to miessence products. The percentage of alcohol does not approach a concentration that is considered harmful in any way; nor is it drying to the skin. Alcohol carries the plant extracts into the skin and is a natural emulsifier and stabiliser.

Is benzoin used in any of miessence products?

Benzoin is synthesized from benzaldehyde in the benzoin condensation. Benzoin is not a constituent of benzoin resin obtained from the benzoin tree (Styrax) or tincture of benzoin. The main component in these natural products is benzoic acid. No forms of benzoin or benzoic acid are used in miessence products.

Is the Aloe Vera Leaf Juice in miessence products the whole leaf or is it the inner gel?

Inner gel only.

Which antioxidants do miessence use?

miessence use rosemary and olive juice and leaf extracts. They protect both your skin and the polyunsaturated oils in miessence products from free radical damage. They also reduce skin damage caused by pollution and UV radiation, therefore protecting the skin from photo aging. They also improve skin hydration and elasticity.

Do miessence use any dairy products or derivatives?

No, none of miessence ingredients are derived from dairy products.

Is sodium bicarbonate (bicarb soda) the same as sodium carbonate or baking powder?

No, sodium bicarbonate (bicarb soda or baking soda) is completely different to sodium carbonate (soda ash) or baking powder (which contain aluminium compounds). Sodium bicarbonate, as used by miessence, is completely free of harmful effects.

Can miessence tell me about the CO2 extracts of carrot and calendula?

Super critical fluid extraction (or CO2 extraction as it is also known) is a highly technical process by which CO2 is liquefied under pressure. This liquid then acts as the solvent in extracting compounds (e.g. oleoresins, essential oils, flavours) from a product.

This method of extraction has numerous advantages:

– No solvent residues

– Selectivity – solvent power and selectivity is readily adjustable by small changes in process conditions, allowing     more than one extract product.

– CO2 is acceptable as a food grade “solvent”.

– Low temperature processing means sensitive products do not deteriorate.

– Gentle extraction process.

– High quality separation that eliminates the need to remove solvent and other residues by further processing.

What is miessence opinion of producers using lanolin in creams?

Lanolin is “wool fat” or grease, chemically akin to wax. It is produced by wool-bearing animals such as sheep, and is secreted by their sebaceous glands., which are associated with hair follicles. Lanolin is chiefly a mixture of cholesterol and the esters of several fatty acids. Lanolin is great for the skin, but it can be contaminated with the organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides used for dipping sheep.

4. Environment

green products company

Does certified organic automatically mean non-cruelty to animals?

Certified organic means that only ingredients allowed in organic foods are allowed in the product. These are the only ingredients miessence use in their products, and they most certainly do not require, nor are subjected to, animal testing.

Do miessence buy ingredients from other companies that test on animals?

No. Most of miessence suppliers are organic farmers, or intermediaries.

Are ingredients used in Miessence products tested on animals? If not, why don’t miessence carry the Animal Cruelty Free logo? Are miessence registered with Beauty without Cruelty or PETA?

miessence do not test any of their ingredients or products on animals, nor do their suppliers. Furthermore miessence do not condone endorse or see any need to test on animals in this day and age. miessence actually test their products on themselves before sending them out to the public.

miessence don’t carry the logo as it is misleading to consumers. Any ingredient used in cosmetics, by law, must have been tested on animals at some point.

The logo indicates however that none of a company’s products or product ingredients have been tested on animals by the company, anyone on its behalf, by its suppliers or anyone on their behalf them within a period of five years immediately preceding the date of application for accreditation.

This is despite the fact that ALL chemicals have been tested on animals at some time in the past.

Remember, miessence ingredients are all food-based ingredients, so animal testing is not something miessence need to do or ever will do. miessence have chosen not to carry this symbol as they do not use any cosmetic ingredients that have been tested on animals in the past or will ever be tested on animals in the future.

Besides sourcing organic raw materials for miessence product, how else do miessence support the environment?

miessence are pleased to say their entire operation, including their overseas freight and director’s promotional activities are carbon-neutral. miessence have committed to this, whilst they work diligently to reduce miessence ecological footprint on the planet.

miessence packaging is recyclable. miessence have absolutely no harmful waste released from their factory into their waterways via drains. All of their cardboard and paper is reused and recycled, both within their office, and after it leaves their factory. Their promotional literature is printed on recycled paper.

5. Manufacturing

Miessence

How are miessence herbs extracted?

Our organic herbal extracts are macerated in organic alcohol and water.

What is the emulsifier system that miessence use?

miessence use their own proprietary natural emulsification system they have designed. Everything is listed on the label!

(Please note: The emulsification system used in Miessence products is a trade secret. For legal and commercial reasons this information is to remain confidential)

What is the cold-formulation process miessence employ?

Cold-formulation is the method of manufacture miessence employ in making their products. None of miessence precious essential oils, herbal extract or cold-pressed fruit, seed and flower oils are subjected to any external heat during manufacture. This ensures that the heat-sensitive vitamins, minerals and other nutritional factors maintain their potency and viability, to literally feed your skin!

Where are your suppliers based?

miessence source their raw materials from organic farmers all over the planet.

Do miessence manufacture all their own products?

miessence manufacture all of their miessence products to Narelle’s own formulae. InLiven and FastTract, which are their exclusive formulae, are contract manufactured by an outsourced supplier.

6. Packaging

miessence_certified_organics

Should the products be refrigerated?

No, refrigeration is not necessary, although the products do need to be kept out of direct sunlight and in cool conditions. The ideal conditions for the products are normal ambient temperature (around 15-20°C or 60-70°F). Miessence freight providers do not courier in climate-controlled vehicles, so the products have been tested to withstand periods of extreme temperatures (between 0°C-50°C or 32°F-122°F), which emulate year-round international shipping conditions, and will remain stable and continue to fulfil their intended function.

Does freezing affect the product potency?

Products which may have become frozen during delivery may be thawed and used without a loss in potency.

Is the cardboard packaging of miessence products made of recycled materials?

miessence cardboard boxes are part virgin/part recycled. Fully recycled boxes can’t be sealed with tape, as the fibres are too short and the tape won’t stick to it.

What is the ‘fill’ used to pack the boxes made of?

The loose fill protective packaging in your box is manufactured from Australian grown wheat. It is reusable, compostable, and will disintegrate quickly when in direct contact with water, so it can be flushed down the drain or the toilet. miessence recommend placing it in your compost, as it breaks down readily and can be reused to nourish the earth from which it came!

What type of plastics do you use? Are they safe?

The grading used for plastics is a universal system used to sort plastics in terms of their ability to be recycled and is based on the type of plastic used.

miessence use a couple of different types of plastics in their containers.

These are:

PET – which has a rating of 1

HDPE/LDPE 50/50 blend – with respective ratings of 2 and 4

The varying nature of miessence range of products requires different plastics with different qualities. Bearing this in mind, miessence company continues to seek packaging solutions that are highly recyclable or biodegradable if possible.

miessence use plastic in the bottles that are used in the shower recess, for the safety of their customers.

miessence use the hardest, food grade, recyclable plastic, PETE (1), which does not leach undesirable contaminants into their products.

Are miessence plastic bottles recyclable?

Yes, they are 100% recyclable.

Why do miessence put their bottles in plastic bags to ship?

The reason miessence use plastic zip-lock bags is because the products were moving around the box during transit and getting damaged. miessence use zip-lock bags because they can be reused by the customer, they prevent damage and breakages, and on the occasion miessence do have a breakage, they isolate any leakages and protect the other bottles in the shipment.

Is Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) a safe plastic?

Polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, has become the plastic packaging of choice for many products, due in part to its inherent properties that are well suited for lightweight, large-capacity and shatter-resistant containers. The scientific testing of PET is based on two key principles: establishing that there is a minimal amount of transfer of substances between the plastic packaging and the product, and establishing that any substances that may transfer from the plastic to the food do not pose a risk to human health.

As a result of advances in analytical chemistry, even the most minuscule level of migration from the plastic to product can now be measured. Tests to determine the levels of compounds that have the potential to transfer from the plastic into product are conducted using conditions that simulate the actual use of the material. These tests have found that the migration of any components of PET plastics under laboratory conditions is well below applicable safety levels. Therefore, USFDA has determined that PET is acceptable to use in the applications for which it has been tested.

The toxicological properties of PET and compounds that migrate under test conditions have also been well studied. The International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) – a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the scientific understanding of issues related to nutrition, food safety, toxicology, risk assessment and the environment – has comprehensively reviewed the scientific and technological aspects of PET.

In a report on PET for food packaging applications issued in July of 2000, ILSI summarizes the large body of test data that demonstrates the safety of PET resins and compounds for food and beverage containers:

“PET itself is biologically inert if ingested, is dermally safe during handling and is not a hazard if inhaled. No evidence of toxicity has been detected in feeding studies using animals. Negative results from Ames tests and studies into unscheduled DNA synthesis indicate that PET is not genotoxic. Similar studies conducted with monomers and typical PET intermediates also indicate that these materials are essentially non-toxic and pose no threats to human health. It is important to stress that the chemistry of compounds that are used to manufacture PET shows no evidence of oestrogenic activity. There is a significant body of evidence that demonstrates that the use of PET is not a concern and is perfectly safe in this respect.”1

In 1994, ILSI published a “White Paper on Refillable Plastic Packaging Made from PET.” According to ILSI, “PET polymer has a long history of safe consumer use, which is supported by human experience and numerous toxicity studies.” In its review of migration studies, ILSI concludes: “[T]he levels of migrants potentially present in beverages packaged in PET bottles are below applicable international extraction limits that are based on safety considerations and orders of magnitude lower than levels causing adverse effects in toxicity studies. The use by consumers of PET polymer in food packaging, therefore, is demonstrated and considered safe.”2

Miessence have chosen not to carry this symbol as they do not use any cosmetic ingredients that have been tested on animals in the past or will ever be tested on animals in the future.

Apart from using extremely pure ingredients that don’t require animal testing, animal testing is unnecessary and cruel. 

Cruelty Free Products

Miessence are leaders in organics and ethical business and have many outstanding green initiatives:

Carbon Negative

Miessence Carbon Negative

Miessence are pleased to say their entire operation, including their overseas freight and director’s promotional activities are carbon-neutral. miessence have committed to this, whilst they work diligently to reduce miessence’s ecological footprint on the planet.

All our products are flown worldwide carbon negative and help the reforestation of our Planet

Miessence products are shipped all over the globe carbon neutral. Since 2006, we have engaged Greenfleet (www.GreenFleet.com), a non-profit, independent organization to calculate our freight emissions and in turn provide the service of planting trees on our behalf to offset our impact on the environment.

Science shows that 17 mixed native species of trees help create a forest. As they grow, the trees absorb greenhouse gases, as well as tackle soil salinity, improve water quality and provide habitat for native species.

Miessence is committed to the environment and goes a step beyond 100% carbon neutral by going carbon negative by offsetting a further 10% beyond calculated emissions.

Recyclable Packaging

All Miessence brochures are printed on recycled paper and the packaging we use is recyclable.

Miessence also have absolutely no harmful waste released from their factory into their waterways via drains. All of their cardboard and paper is reused and recycled, both within their office, and after it leaves their factory.

All miessence promotional literature is also printed on recycled paper.

Miessence

Packaging Integrity

Some people might ask why we are using plastic instead of glass for our products.

We have three very good reasons.

Following research by the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University in the US, we discovered that compared to glass, plastics use less resources to produce and require less energy to effectively recycle.

Plastics are lighter, which means fewer carbon emissions in transportation.

Vacuum-pump plastic keeps our freshly made, 100% certified organic products in tip top condition. Miessence use no preservatives only 100% active ingredients that suffer accelerated oxidation when repeatedly exposed to air. Our product packaging ensures that every last drop of your product is 100% pure, 100% active and 100% fresh.

But not all plastics are created equal.

Miessence uses Polypropylene which is made from carbon and hydrogen and manufactured without any dangerous emissions. It can be recycled, incinerated or used in landfill without any harm to the environment.

Other plastics contain Bisphenol A (BPA), which is used in polycarbonated plastics and epoxy resins, has been linked to serious health disorders.

We are continually researching better and more environmentally friendly packaging systems and introducing them in our product lines.

Environmental Initiatives to Protect Our Planet

With every new membership, Miessence supports the David Suzuki Foundation to help further their work in environmental education and to help protect and preserve our Planet (www.DavidSuzuki.com)

The Miessence Story

Narelle Chenery founder of Miessence(Narelle Chenery – Founder of Miessence Certified Organics)

Narelle Chenery, the creator of the Miessence products is the past, present and future of Miessence. What started as a hobby in her kitchen has become revolutionary in the cosmetic industry, specifically in the natural and organic segment. In 2001, her pioneering willingness to leap into uncharted territories alongside organic leader Alf Orpen resulted in the world’s first certified organic skin, hair and personal care.

Alf-Orpen Miessence Founder

(Alf Orpen – Founder of Miessence Certified Organics)

Where it all began

“While completing a Bachelor of Applied Science in Information Management in 1992, a friend introduced me to a new natural skin care range on the market. The company prided itself on producing the best products from “science and nature.” Even though the products contained ingredients I could not pronounce, because they claimed to be from natural ingredients like coconut and palm, I just presumed they were natural and safe.

One day, soon after I began selling this “natural” skin care range to my friends and family, a cosmetic ingredient dictionary jumped out at me while I was browsing through a health food store. The dictionary told me of the dangerous properties of the ingredients in the products I was using. I was disillusioned, and quite annoyed! I felt that I had been deceived. Hence began my search for TRULY natural products.

My mother-in-law gave me some books on aromatherapy, herbal remedies, and how to make your own skin care out of natural ingredients. Surprisingly, even these books recommended the use of toxic preservatives (which I wasn’t going to touch). So I started experimenting with some skin creams and giving them away as gifts.

As I was researching how to prevent my natural concoctions from growing mold, I remembered a little bottle that I had taken on my trip to Thailand a few years before to kill bugs in the water. I tried this recipe with some other natural extracts I had been researching and they appeared to do the trick!

Eighteen months later, Alf Orpen (now a director of Miessence) approached me after a natural products expo and challenged me to create certified organic products. I had been eating organic food since my first pregnancy in 1994, and I believed wholeheartedly in the organic philosophy. I was up for the challenge!  After another eighteen months of research and development, the first products of the Miessence Certified Organic range were born.”

How do you pronounce Miessence

The correct pronunciation of Miessence is “MY-ESSENCE”

“The “Mi” actually came about as a “my”, but the spelling didn’t look right! The “essence” alluded to one’s true nature, from the dictionary. The basic, real, and invariable nature of a substance, containing its characteristic properties in concentrated form.”

What is the meaning behind the leaf?

MiEssence-bodhi-leaf

The Miessence logo features a single Bodhi Leaf with several points of significance to our company.

The Asiatic fig is known as the Bodhi Tree, bodhi meaning being awake, enlightened or supreme knowledge. Miessence seeks enlightenment through product development and business practices that retain our organic standards, are consistent with environmentally sustainable principles and add value to our worldwide community.

The Bodhi leaf’s heart shape has symbolic parallels with love, truth and happiness.

The simplicity of a single leaf resonates with Miessence’s philosophy of organic, raw, cold formulated ingredients – a true legacy of the beautiful colors and fragrances nature has provided in the plant kingdom and the healing properties that are hidden within.

Importantly, the leaf compliments the message of Certified Organic.

How To Get Gorgeous Skin

How To Get Gorgeous Skin

 

How To Get Utterly Gorgeous Skin

How_to_get_gorgeous_skin

Gorgeous, smooth, glowing skin is undeniably one of the most distinctive features of looking and feeling really beautiful.

Many women worry about their skin and dislike the idea of aging because they are influenced by the media, that tells them, to have beautiful skin they need to buy expensive creams that promise the world or they need to cake on the makeup (which is especially bad advice as MOST skin creams and foundations are full of toxic chemicals that are bad for your health)or resort to invasive treatments that risk the longterm health of your skin.

Attain Really Beautiful Skin Without Sacrificing Your Health

Without resorting to artificial overpriced creams, invasive treatments or needing to hide your skin with chemical makeup, there are actually natural ways to have the most beautiful skin ever.

 

Here are the 9 steps that will give you AMAZING skin, with results you (and everyone else) will definitely notice:

 

1. Protect yourself from The Sun

protect your skin from the sun

One of the best ways to keep your skin looking beautiful is to stay out of the sun during the hours of strongest UV radiation(this is usually from 10am to 4pm). If you do go into the sun, try to limit the time you’re in direct sunlight and protect yourself with a hat, clothing, sunnies and a safe suncream (the chemicals in most suncreams are really toxic and can even be carcinogenic, so find a natural one that works).

UV exposure can lead to premature aging of your skin and is responsible for up to 80% of visible wrinkles because it damages the DNA of the cells, breaks down the collagen and healthy structures that keep it supple and youthful looking.

 

2. Stay Hydrated

does drinking water help prevent wrinkles

Every day your body uses between 2 to 3 liters of water just to perform all its bodily functions and to cleanse itself of toxins.  Drinking enough water is vital to your health and an excellent beauty elixir for soft and smooth skin.

Most people are chronically dehydrated which makes their skin dry and prone to wrinkles, so if you drink plenty of water every day you’ll notice increasingly glowing skin that is radiant, healthy and youthful.   To have a beautiful complexion drink at least 8 to 12+ glasses of pure water each day.


3. Get Beauty Sleep

Sleep is vital for the body to regenerate and heal itself and is very noticeable in our skin.  Sleep reduces the cortisol level in your body (Cortisol is the stress hormone that ages your skin), so if you sleep well you’ll have younger looking, more beautiful skin.  Its best to sleep 1 or 2 hours before midnight and sleep at least 7 – 8 hours a night, to always wake up looking and feeling refreshed.

 

4. Don’t use Chemical Skincare or Makeup

harmful chemicals in skincare

Most products on the market are full of toxic chemicals that overload our bodies with unnecessary toxins that harm our health. Using chemical makeup can also block pores and make your skin dull and lackluster. Chemicals are harsh and abrasive to the skin and over time can do a lot of damage.  

Burdening your body with toxins is unnecessary because amazing certified organic makeup and skin care already exists.

Use certified organic skin products to nourish, protect and hydrate your skin with real vital nutrients, herbs, flowers and oils, instead of chemical creams that were synthetically fabricated in a laboratory.

5. Use Weekly Clay Masks

Apart from the baby softness clay masks will give your skin, they also renew your skins surface, remove toxins and make your skin look really clear and beautiful.  Implementing a weekly clay mask will tighten your skin, reduce pore size, remove dead skin cells and impurities and will let you see a noticeable difference to your complexion right away. For best results do a clay mask at least once a week.

 

6. Exercise Regularly

Exercise stimulates circulation and blood flow, flushes cellular debris and makes your skin look extra healthy and vibrant. Exercise also helps nourish your skins cells and keeps them vital and is a great way of cleansing your skin from the inside.

7. Use Topical Vitamins

This is a great way to reverse sun damage and heal the skin. I started to use vitamin A, C and E on my skin 6 years ago, (when it was very sun damaged, dry and painful) and have since noticed such a difference in how youthful my skin looks. Topical vitamins have the ability to reverse sun damage and combat aging. I get complemented all the time on how beautiful my skin is and people always think I’m a LOT younger than I chronologically am.

 

8. Use a Dermal Roller

Dermal Roller for skin rejuvenation

Before I found out about this magical skin rejuvenation treatment, I didn’t realize there was something so effective I could do to reverse the aging process and make my skin look younger than ever.

It’s called Collagen Induction Therapy and it works by rolling tiny stainless steel medical grade needles over the skin to build up the connective tissue in the lower skin layers (dermal layers) while keeping intact the protective upper layers of the skin (epidermal layers).

It’s completely natural and works by stimulating the production of elastin fibres and collagen, to reveal smoother, thicker, firmer, more even toned skin.   It makes fine lines disappear, it reduces pore size, makes deeper wrinkles soften and it’s the safest way to build skin from within for safe and effective results.

I wouldn’t recommend using a needle larger than 0.5mm at home (and if you want to use longer needles its best to go to a licensed practitioner, beautician or surgeon).  Also make sure you purchase a very high quality dermal roller.

Make sure your dermal roller is clean, (always disinfect it before use) because you don’t want to get an infection or get any dirt under the skin. Also never share your dermal roller with anyone else.

How to use your dermal roller:

  1. Wash your hands.
  2. Disinfect your dermal roller. I use both boiling hot water and then 99.99% alcohol
  3. Thoroughly wash your face
  4. Apply a pure organic skin serum to your face before and after(which deeply nourishes the skin and makes it heal optimally).

Do not use any chemical products on your skin with the roller that you would not want to go deep into your skin(as when the needles penetrate, it also takes any product deep into the skin). All Miessence products are safe and beneficial to use with your dermal roller.

During the collagen induction process, the dermal roller will penetrate through the epidermis but doesn’t damage it. Since the epidermis is only punctured, it will heal rapidly. The skin will feel like its slightly sunburnt and red which will then initiate a cascade of growth factors that result in new collagen production and over time utterly gorgeous skin.

 

9. Eat the Colors of The Rainbow 

how to get healthy skin naturally

By eating a clean, pure healthy diet with lots of vibrant colors and a high ratio of fresh fruits and vegetables your body will have plenty of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to build new cells and give your body all the nutrients it needs. Health on the inside always reflects radiant health and beauty on the outside.

 

If you follow these suggestions I’m sure you’ll notice a huge difference in how beautiful your skin looks.
