"Dash Weh Da Chemical Dem!"

Over the years, we all have become accustomed to many well known brands/products for our skin and hair care routines. Products that provide little to no moisture, watery and filled with chemicals. Yes it is true, branding plays a vital role in the products we purchase; if we see a logo we are familiar with, we automatically trust and believe their products provide the results that they claim. This however isn't always the case. 

There are many skin and hair care products that deliver the opposite results to what they claim, causing customers to continue going back for more, expecting a different result. This is profit over product, a motto we at Skin by Marla do not believe in. 

If you see any of the following ingredients within your skin/hair care bottles, run for the hills:

- Parabens

- Formaldehyde

- Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS)

- Petrolatum

- Alcohol

- Hydroquinone

- Oxybenzone

- Artificial Fragrances

We pride ourselves on supplying strictly all-natural products which deliver results without the use of harsh chemicals. Only using ingredients Mother Nature has provided, which has worked for centuries in Africa and Asia without fail. 

Ingredients such as:

Turmeric

Turmeric contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components. This helps provide a natural glow and enhancement to the skin. Turmeric also helps fade the appearance of scarring and hyperpigmentation.

Shea Butter

Shea butter is an excellent moisturiser for the face and the body. It locks in moisture and keeps it hydrated for a long period of time. Shea butter can nourish the skin with its fat content, it penetrates the skin easily without clogging your pores.

It can also be used as a natural conditioner. It is highly effective in locking in moisture, without leaving your hair greasy or heavy.

Vitamin E Oil

Vitamin E may alleviate the dryness and itching associated with eczema and other skin conditions. 

Coconut Oil

The vitamins and fatty acids in coconut oil help nourish your scalp and penetrates the cuticle of the hair. Thus promoting thicker, longer and healthier hair.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba is rich in vitamins and minerals that nourishes your hair, including Vitamin C & E. As it can be used to strengthen hair, it is also believed that jojoba oil can prevent hair loss and promote hair thickness. The idea behind this is that the oil moisturises hair follicles, which prevents dryness that leads to hair loss.

If you haven't figured it out already, oils are literally your hair and skin's best friend, hence the hashtag #OilsAreYourBestFriend. Trust us on this one!

Believe in a brand that puts your skin and hair first. A brand that helps maintain your natural curls and provides that natural glow back in your skin, without the need for artificial ingredients.
