If you’re looking to start the new year on the right foot, prioritising your health and wellbeing and implementing some new self-care habits, locally-made skincare brand OmMade Organic Skincare has you sorted and is ready to pamper you as a part of your daily routine.
South Aussie brand OmMade Organic Skincare is committed to holistic well-being and blends natural and organic principles to create products for the face, body, hair, and dental.
Created by Tina Walsh back in 2013, it was born out of Tina’s personal journey to resolve her skin issues after having no luck with many products out on the market that claimed to be all-natural and sure to resolve her concerns.
‘When I was pregnant, I would go to the supermarket and look at skincare products that said “natural” or “organic” on the packaging’, says Tina. ‘After taking a closer look at the ingredients on the back, I soon realised that they weren’t, in fact, all-natural or organic, and it gave me a better understanding of the overwhelming amount of greenwashing that goes on so much in the skincare industry.’
Tina, who was studying for a diploma in health science and naturopathy at the time, had a natural interest in skincare and learnt all about botany and herbal manufacturing as a part of her studies.
Focusing on 100% natural and native ingredients, like hemp seed oil and Kakadu plum seed oil, which both nourish and are suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin types, OmMade’s commitment to being certified palm oil-free is a key aspect of its dedication to both the environment and the purity of its products.
Sustainability is a core philosophy at OmMade, and the decision to avoid palm oil underlines its commitment to environmental protection and product quality. Moreover, OmMade’s refillable packaging options in its Adelaide stores highlight their efforts to reduce waste and promote sustainable living.
So, if you need some help to relax and unwind following the holiday season (umm, yes please!) and want to ease your way into 2024, what are some of the benefits of OmMade Organic Skincare that make them a standout health and well-being brand and must-haves that should be on your shopping list this year? Check out our guide below.
Natural ingredients
OmMade Skincare products use the power of organic, natural ingredients such as red raspberry seed oil, Kakadu plum seed oil, and hemp seed oil to soothe, calm and nourish the skin and are perfect for various skin types, including those that are more sensitive. There’s the Facial Cleansing Oil with lavender that’s good for all skin types (yes, even oily skin!) and the Hemp Seed Face Serum, which is rich in vitamins and a natural SPF.
For those who love the outdoors in summer, the Essential Bug Blitz is a must-have! Made with organic essential oils like sandalwood, spearmint and citronella to keep those pesky insects away without the nasty chemicals found in lots of bug repellants, it’s perfect for those balmy summer nights and good for little ones too.
Gentle cleansing
All OmMade Skincare products are gentle on the skin and designed to nourish and suit various skin types and conditions. Products like the Foaming Honey Cleanser use organic ingredients like raw local honey and hemp seed oil to provide gentle yet effective cleansing and are beneficial for skin conditions like acne or eczema with anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.
There’s also the Vitamin C Face Scrub for those on the hunt for a natural exfoliator and those who need a bit of a pamper sesh to buff and refresh their skin after a hectic holiday period. Made with finely ground olive stone, vitamin C powder, and cold-press virgin olive oil, it helps remove any impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils.
Safe deodorant options
We all like to feel and smell fresh despite the summer heat, and OmMade Skincare has safe deodorant options free of harsh chemicals. The Magnesium Roll On Deodorant is without aluminium, bicarb and fragrance and has essential oils like eucalyptus, lavender spike, cinnamon leaf and lemon for their anti-bacterial properties, and of course, magnesium to eliminate body odour.
There’s also the Magnesium Deodorant Paste that can be massaged gently into the skin and is made with a formula of magnesium, sandalwood, coconut oil, shea butter and essential oils to help neutralise body odour throughout the day.
Soothing solutions for irritated skin
Know someone with sensitive skin? OmMade Skincare is proud to create products that are made with natural ingredients that help to heal and reduce inflammation of the skin. The Calendula Soothing Balm features ingredients like calendula, lavender and patchouli oils, and zinc oxide powder and is perfect for those with irritations and skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
The Hemp Seed Face Serum provides essential nutrients that protect and soothe the skin without leaving an oily residue and is recommended for those with eczema and acne-prone or damaged skin types.
Commitment to authenticity and sustainability
OmMade’s dedication to transparency, authenticity and sustainability is shown throughout the brand. Not only do they avoid greenwashing tactics (where a brand falsely claims that their products are environmentally friendly or all-natural/organic), but they are certified palm oil-free and offer instore refills for many of their products—living true to their ethos of encouraging eco-friendly practices and promoting a sustainable way of living.
By refusing to use palm oil, OmMade Skincare helps protect rainforests and the wildlife habitat found within, and it also aligns with the brand’s goal of providing pure, free-of-nasties, undiluted skincare solutions to customers all over.
OmMade Organic Skincare is more than just a skincare brand designed to pamper and make you feel good. It also represents a movement toward conscious beauty and environmental responsibility with natural ingredients, eco-friendly practices, and a holistic approach to health and wellness that not only nurtures the skin but also helps protect Mother Nature.
Their natural, sustainable skincare products make the perfect well-being products to incorporate into daily routines for those who aim to shop consciously or want to buy for that eco-conscious friend while encouraging better skin health and supporting local South Australian businesses, too.
‘We also have Face Packs that are ideal for those who are starting with the brand and what to sample our products’, says Tina. ‘There’s the Supple Skin Face Pack, the Clear Skin Face Pack, and the Sensitive Skin Face Pack—and these are particularly great for teens or anyone starting out on their skincare journey.’
