Natural Skin Care Product Revolution Inspired By The Words Of
Gandhi
How The Words Of Gandhi Inspired A
Natural Skin Care Product Revolution And Humiliated The $29 Billion
Chemical Empire
Six years ago Narelle
Chenery was just a small town mum in suburban Australia making natural
skin care product formulas in her kitchen.
Today
she heads up the world's first and only
certified organic skin care company by "cracking the code" with a
secret formula that is fast breaking the toxic stranglehold of the
cosmetic conglomerates.
Narelle Chenery
The
Calm Before
The Storm
This modern day
fairytale all started so innocently. When Narelle was pregnant with her
first child a
friend introduced her to a "natural" skin care range new to the market.
This company prided itself on manufacturing the best skin care products
using "science and nature" claiming that there were no synthetic toxins
in their products.
A Chance Discovery
Unravels The Deception
Soon after Narelle started using these products, a cosmetic
dictionary "jumped" out at her while she was browsing though a health
food store. Little did she know at the time the impact this discovery
would have on the $29 billion dollar* cosmetic industry.
As she was flipping through the ingredient dictionary
Narelle's jaw nearly hit the ground in amazement as she discovered that
the "natural" products she had been using were littered with hazardous
toxins.
Not wanting to put her unborn baby at risk she quickly regathered her
composure and left the store with a new found resolve. She started on a
mission to research just how prevalent toxins were in skin care and
cosmetic products.
The Biggest Shock Of All
The deception that Narelle had felt with the previous company
was about to pale in comparison with the earth shaking information she
discovered next. Narelle couldn't believe her eyes as she came to grips
with the grandest deception of them all.
She uncovered through government and chemical industry databases the
three things that the billion dollar cosmetic cartel spend billions of
dollars a year on false advertising to cover up.
3 Things They
Don't
Want You To Know
1) 99% of the 14,228 skin care and cosmetic
products on the market have never
been evaluated for safety by the FDA
(US Food & Drug Administration), CIR (Cosmetic Ingredient Review)
or any other publicly accountable institution.
2)74% of all personal care products
on the market according to chemical industry databases contain:
Carcinogens (cancer causing
chemicals),
Teratogens (causing birth
defects),
Reproductivetoxins
(male & female infertility),
Developmental toxins (hazardous to
unborn children)
Skin/sense organ toxicants (causing
skin disease and rashes)
Allergenic toxicants (causing
allergies)
Mutagens (causing cells to mutate)
3)57% of all skin care products
contain "penetration enhancer" chemicals like Propylene Glycol and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate that drive
down deep through five layers of skin and illegally hijack your
bloodstream.
The reason "penetration enhancer" chemicals are
"illegal" is because this violates
the FDA's own regulations regarding
the use of cosmetic chemicals that affect the structure or function of
the human body. Below is a direct quote from the FDA.
"Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act defines
drugs as those products that cure, treat, mitigate or prevent disease
or that affect the structure or function of the human body. While drugs
are subject to an intensive review and approval process by FDA,
cosmetics are not approved by FDA prior to sale. If a product has drug
properties, it must be approved as a drug, only approved drugs are
allowed to enter your bloodstream."
Armed with this knowledge Narelle idealistically set about
countering the proliferation of health destroying synthetic chemicals
in personal care products. As revealed in The Organic Gardener, Narelle used
the words of Gandhi, "Non-cooperation with
evil is a sacred duty", as
motivation.
"Although there are
many interpretations of what is "evil", and although the evil
that Gandhi was countering was profound, Narelle is nevertheless
dealing with one the most insidious problems of modern life - the
proliferation of environmental and health damaging products."
Excerpt:
The Organic Gardener, Spring 2003
Even though the odds were stacked against her, Narelle started
experimenting with organic ingredients in her kitchen. She successfully
developed an organic skin cream and started giving samples away as
gifts. As word began to spread, her hobby of producing hand made
organic creams had turned into a fully fledged home based business.
Narelle's Big Break
Eighteen months later Narelle was at her stall at a natural
products expo when she was approached by a man called Alf Orpen. Even
though Alf already had 20 years experience working in the organic
industry throughout the US, UK and Asia he was blown away by Narelle's
enthusiasm and idealism.
The Secret Formula
Narelle showed Alf her secret
proprietary system of emulsifying and preserving skin
care products without any synthetic toxins. Amazed by what he
saw Alf
challenged her to do what most people in the industry thought
impossible...create the world's first certified organic skin care range
USDA Organic
Watershed
Narelle immediately started the exhaustive and stringent
process of obtaining organic certification to food standards for her
entire skin care range.
After 3 years of hard work Narelle's new company, ONE Group,
achieved a landmark decision in the
90 year history of skin care and
cosmetics. This watershed moment occurred on the 21st of October
2002
following a USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) ruling that
Narelle had the only skin care brand that met USDA Organic
requirements.
Humiliation
For The Cosmetic Industry
In a little over 3 years Narelle had humiliated the $29
billion cosmetic chemical empire by being the first in history to have
USDA certified organic skin care products.
All this despite the billions
of dollars the skin care and cosmetic industry pumps into research and
development of "natural" skin care products every year. However, she
didn't stop there, the humiliation for the cosmetic industry from this
young Australian upstart was only just beginning...
Next Stop...
Australian Certified Organic
This was quickly
followed by ACO (Australian Certified Organic) organic certification to
international food grade standards. To put that into perspective
Narelle actually created a natural skin care product range that is safe
enough to eat, a far cry from what the cosmetic cartel sells you.
These organic certifications cover all aspects of the processing chain,
to ensure that the organic integrity is maintained: from seed growing,
harvesting, storage, transporting and processing through to the
finished product. Below are the actual organic certifications from the
USDA and the ACO.

ACO Organic Certification
Total Peace of Mind
By carrying this stamp of
approval from these
independent bodies, Narelle's customers have total assurance and peace
of mind that their products contain absolutely
no synthetic toxins.
They use these products daily with total confidence, as the certified
organic seal on each and every product is the guarantee of organic
purity and goodness.
Above And Beyond
The Call of Duty
As if creating a
revolution with the world's first (and only) certified organic skin
care range wasn't enough Narelle even went a few steps further.
She formulated a set of strict criteria that every single product must
adhere to before leaving the factory. Below are the five pillars all
Narelle's products are built on:

100% Beneficial
Ingredients
1) All products must
contain only 100% beneficial
ingredients that cleanse and purify your skin and hair.
Some of Narelle's customers have sent unsolicited testimonials
documenting their success with these certified organics (as you will
see below).
They report overwhelming satisfaction with the positive
effect that authentic organic ingredients have on their lifestyle and
well-being. To give you an idea, below is the ingredient list along
with benefits of Narelle's Certified Organic Intensive Body Cream.

2) Every ingredient
in every product is cold formulated through Narelle's secret formula so
the natural ingredients are
never exposed to damaging heat.
This is done because heat fundamentally
alters the state of natural ingredients so much so that they lose their
beneficial properties.
Through painstaking trial and error over many years Narelle has
developed a proprietary system of
emulsifying and preserving natural
ingredients. This tends to give her customers an extra sense of
security, knowing beyond any shadow of a doubt that all products
maintain their original fresh state when shipped.
Skin Care Customized
To
Your Unique Needs
3) The world's
first certified organic skin
care range customized to
all four skin profiles.
As each skin type has its own unique qualities
and needs, Narelle's customers can
personalize their skin care regime
according to their skin profile.
Here are the four major skin profiles:
Normal
Combination skin
Dry/Mature skin
Sensitive skin
Oily/Problem skin
Shown below is each skin profile and how Narelle's organic herbs help
her customers rejuvenate their skin and correct any previous skin
problems.
4)
No
animal is
tested on or harmed
during the manufacture of Narelle's certified organic products.
Narelle's
customers make a positive difference in the lives of thousands of
animals worldwide. This is because all ingredients
are collected from Mother Nature and preserved in their natural state.
Even though it is rarely discussed in the corporate media
this despicable practice continues unabated to this very day, carried
out by large and small skin care makers alike.
Across all industries it
is estimated that 50 to 100 million
animals* are tested on (and
subsequently killed) each year.
In fact, many so-called natural skin care companies who claim to be "philosophically
opposed to animal testing" actually
outsource animal testing to third party chemical corporations.
Narelle believes the least we can do is vote with our wallet
by simply refusing to buy products from companies that do test on
animals. In the long run that is the only way that these companies will
learn, when their bottom line is affected.
As Narelle sources raw materials exclusively from organic farmers in
Australia her customers also help the environment by contributing to
sustainable agriculture and the the ecology of our planet.
What This All Means
For You

you now have the opportunity to become one of Narelle's customers. You
too can have total peace of mind by using a natural skin care product
range that is certified organic,
cruelty free, customized to your skin
profile while containing no synthetic chemicals.
Narelle's company ONE (Organic Group and Natural Enterprise)
Group has a state of the art production facility in Australia. All the
natural ingredients,
organic herbs and essential oils are collected
from organic farms on the Gold Coast in Queensland.
There are three different certified organic brands under the ONE Group umbrella. The skin care and cosmetic brand is called MiEssence,
the probiotic "super food" brand is MiVitality and the
household product range is called MiEnviron. Below is a

ONE Group has steadily expanded their product range to meet
the enormous worldwide demand for organic products. In the near future
Narelle plans to have a complete range of certified organic lifestyle
products including household cleaners and garden products.
Though, right now the major focus is on personal care products. As you
can see below, the Top 15 ONE Group products are predominantly skin
care and cosmetics with the most popular being the probiotic "super

"Rashes Completely Disappeared"
Having suffered with a scalp rash for a year, I read in your newsletter that this could be caused by the parabens in my existing shampoo. After just three treatments (ten days) with Miessence organic shampoo the rash began to reduce and after a month it has completely disappeared. I simply cannot thank you enough.

"Cholostomy
bag removed after 2 weeks"
In August 2005 my
dad had a partial bowel removal because of cancer and was fitted with a
temporary cholostomy bag. Once dad came home from hospital I started
him on one teaspoon of In-Liven per day and his appetite improved
within a week.
When dad went for
a checkup to see how his bowel was healing they found it had healed up
very well and no abnormalities were found. We were told by the doctors
that dad would have the cholostomy bag in anywhere between 3-6 months
and it was a miracle that after 2 months and 2 weeks his cholostomy bag
was removed.
Knew there was
more than one reason why I use this wonderful product...I will be
forever grateful.
