Forest Secrets Skin News

Forest Secrets at the Mobos in Liverpool

I was in Liverpool last week to promote Forest Secrets and to pre-launch our new producs iBright and iBright plus, 2 products to even skin pigmentation.

This year I was able to enjoy the event much more as my friend Sacha was there to support me and so I could tune in with what the Mobo is all about:

great opportunities for young talents (great dancers and singers)

community

celebrating life through black music

I met several dancers that looked really sweet face to face and then transformed themselves into a passionate being transporting the audience onto a state of euphoria and excitiment. I also came across top celebreties that despite being big are very friendly and available for a shot. For example boy band JLS (these young men are quite something, on stage and off stage and won UK best album and UK best performance) and Jermaine Jackson.

Halima, Jermain's wife, remembered me from last year and was really pleased to see me this year because she remembered how good my products were for her skin and she wanted some more.

I also met the band playing for Nelly, really friendly and talented artists, and I wish them to go higher and higher with their career.

I also had the pleasure to meet street dancers from the Peridot group and manage to get a shot with Mid-Air.

Overall it was a great success and iBright was received with great interest. Some people were put off by it because skin lightening is such a delicate issue, and misunderstood the message, those people are on the go go go (and they thought the product is designed to bleach their skin, but it is not), but I hope the press releases and the samples will explain more about the real intention behind it.

 

Positive reviews from One Kind and our position on Palm oil

Today we were thrilled to find out about the lovely reviews by Tracey at One Kind, she says:

"It has really helped me around my eyes. It has a beautiful scent of Jasmine and Rose, making you feel like you’re in the summer season all year long. I buy online, not sure where they are sold offline.

It lasts absolutely ages too, meaning I save a bit of money, instead of replacing low quality products every few weeks."

One Kind is an animal protecting charity aimed at reconnecting people and animals to create a better world for all. At Forest Secrets Skincare we share the same view, and that is why when we develop our products we use the minimum amount of palm oil derivatives (it is very difficult to avoid them in cosmetics). Palm tree plantations cause the destruction of orangutans environment in the South East of Asia and "sustainable" palm tree plantations are not the solution to the problem because  they simply cause deforestation somewhere else, ie South America. According to Friends of the Earth 12% of palm oil production goes into the cosmetic industry, whereas most of the consumption is taken by the food and fuel industries. Therefore our conclusion is to use them only when we must, for example glycerine, which may be derived from coconut oil or palm oil.

The Fashionable Maven, a new Forest Secrets convert

"Our tester loved this product and was quite sceptical from the onset as she has always been a big heavy moisturizer user but after following the two step regime for a week noticed a huge difference and so did her partner. She felt her skin was left silky and she noticed that the fine lines around her eyes and chin has diminished and her neck and décolletage visibly improved."
