For years, Anouk Geurts worked for high-quality cosmetics brands from Belgium, Paris and New York. Until them A/N/G Skincare started, a brand that focuses on natural care with a luxurious feeling. This locally produced skin care has organic ingredients. The formulas have been developed to create plant-based skincare with a strong effect using the latest scientific insights. Besides the fact that the products spread wonderfully and leave behind beautiful skin, we are perhaps most impressed by the fact that A/N/G was founded by a passionate Dutch woman. A/N/G has a fairly compact collection with one cleanser, exfoliator, toner and eye cream and a choice of two day creams plus a few specials. The same delicious products for every skin type.
For Oolaboo it is important to offer hair and skincare products that are as natural as possible. All products are also free of parabens, sulphates and mineral oils. This reduces the chance of irritation after use, because the ingredients have a milder effect (sounds logical, right?) The products are divided into lines, handy, because this way you can directly get to the products that suit your hair and skin type. Think of products especially for curly, damaged or lifeless hair, but also skincare that helps with acne, dry skin or oily skin.

Perfume in care products is quite hot topics. Now that we like to apply natural perfume as much as possible, adding synthetic perfume is quite sensitive.

Fan of the vitamin sweets from the very beginning Yummy gums. First there were the vegan and natural Multi and Hair, which we already enjoyed at home (only two a day). Mini comes every day with the jar and takes her daily dose of supplements (without mom forgetting). And for grown-ups there is the Hair for better skin, nails and fuller hair. Yummygums became a hit and started to expand. There are also sweets for Mommy and Kids (sugar-free). And for babies and kids there are D3 and K2 drops. Young and old order from the cheerful Dutch brand for tasty, healthy vitamin sweets.
There are some products that you think can never be made completely natural. Self-tanner is one of those. So it is possible after all. Face Tan Water is 100% natural self-tanner. Even more special is the story behind the Eco by Sonya Driver brand. The Australian brand was founded by a mother who, after her life turned upside down due to the sudden departure of her daughters' father, wanted to make a natural self-tanner for her sister who was recovering from cancer. Hello feminine strength and perseverance. Its certified organic brand became a great success and is now spread all over the world. Sonya is happy and we are happy with a natural self-tanner. And we all lived happily ever after…

When a product is called Pink Cloud it should be tried, tested and tested. With a name like that, expectations are high, even higher than high. And with a little bit of fear in the back of our minds, because such a beautiful cream in a picture of a jar shouldn't be disappointing, right? All eyes on the cloudWe went to work with full hope. Or actually, the ingredients do: Rosewater, Aloe Water and not to forget White Tea Extract. You can probably feel it coming, we're all in happy and in the pink clouds with the pot. A good start every morning and finally in the evening on the toe (even the most sensitive), just wait and see (apply, apply, apply) because soft skin is on it's way. Minor downside: the pink pot is not suitable for dry skin. We prefer to wear it during the warmer months, when the nourishing creams are unnecessary and this beauty can be left on the sink. shine.
Another nice brand: Austin Austing Organic. A natural brand from the inside out, packaging made from 100% recycled material and making delicious products. Who, yes, really do what they promise. Then we are talking about a win-win-win beauty label. Although Austin puts a lot of effort into it, because man man, what delicious packaging. I've probably seen those brown pharmacy-esque bottles with such an abstract face on the label. Austin is almost an addition to your interior (so be sure to check the hand soap and creams, which come in the same beautiful packaging and place them shamelessly in plain sight). We always go for the shampoo + conditioner combination here (okay, actually to keep it a bit varied). For the simple reason that it smells wonderful, makes your hair feel stronger (placebo or not, we like it) and of course that the whole shebang is natural.

Hello Nuxe! The French, or even Parisiennes, do it well in many ways. Including in le beauté world. We don't even have to mention some names before they pop into our minds. One such fine French brand is the luxurious Nuxe, which (completely coincidentally) is natural and as much as possible organic ingredients used. Without being aware of it, the Rêve de Miel jars were devoured, until the day came when a little more background information was gained about the brand. That's a nice fact. Another fun fact about Rêve de Miel: it is a lip balm (almost forgot to mention it due to blindness of enthusiasm), is made from honey and sunflower oil and is one of the few balms that provides soft lips all year round. Something that is very exceptional. Even on your most wintery day, Nuxe Rêve de Miel is your salvation.
sky high on the wishlist is everything (and probably everything that is yet to come) of the natural brand under the denominator Drunk Elephant. Just because of all the positive messages about the brand. So much good is being shared about this brand. So we had to test, although we started small (because it was a bit too pricey to just put it to the test). We really are fans, don't get us wrong, but like that hyped It can't help but be a little disappointing. A touch I do not know-feeling or better explained: well, is this it? We tried the Virgin Marula Facial oil, which is really delicious. Nice scent, god yes, wonderful now that we think about it, and a wonderfully soft face. A very good added bonus: the oil is not too heavy and is really suitable for every skin type. It is also definitely worth a try for difficult skin types.
Biologique research introduces Collagen Original: a restorative anti-wrinkle serum for an at-home treatment to combat wrinkles.
Unfortunately, as we get older we notice that the skin becomes thinner. The skin produces less collagen and elastin, which means it no longer repairs as well. As a result, the skin is no longer as thick and hydrated, causing wrinkles to become visible.
What to do? The French brand Biologique Recherche is launching a serum that gives your skin more resilience and strengthens its firmness. The serum makes the skin tighter and smoother. So what's not to like, go get it!
Two young Dutch girls start Roquebrun, a junk-free self-tanner. One liked to bake in the sun with oil and the other sat in the shade with SPF. Together they discovered the risks and damage caused by the sun and that you don't need the sun for beautiful colored skin. But applying an orange, staining and sometimes even toxic self-tanner was not the solution either. Roquebrun has a face and body serum and body mousse for a bronzed glow with high-quality ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, collagen and aloe vera. Furthermore, Roquebrun is vegan and contains no perfume, alcohol or parabens. It is also nice that it does not stain clothing and bedding.
