1. It contains no synthetic chemicals of any kind.

2. It is 86% organic.

3. The crème has its own preservative system based entirely on the natural organic compounds.

4. The 'liquids' component is Pacific Blue organic lavender flower distillate (hydrosol). This hydrosol is produced naturally during the steam distillation of Pacific Blue organic lavender essential oil.

5. The fragrance of the crème arises from the natural essential oils.

6. The vacuum pump dispenser is designed to prevent air or microbial organisms coming into contact with the crème. This minimises oxidation (which can make the product rancid) and also helps to prevent bacterial or mould growth in the product.

7. While this is primarily a nourishing and hydrating day crème it does have SPF12 factor. This is microfine zinc oxide (ZnO) with a small particle size (this is what makes it clearer than the ordinary 'surfers' zinc oxide).

8. It has taken ten years to develop this product. It has now been trialed and tested to the point where Margaret Hema is confident that she has the day crème that she has always wanted for her clients.
