The below formula (which is NOT one of ours) has been put together as a typical example of a basic facial moisturiser one might find on a supermarket shelf.  It consists of many different "types" or classes of ingredients which will be listed in the correct form, International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) for labels. To make things a little easier we have put in brackets next to the INCI term a common description of some. Please note however that putting these common names or descriptions beside the INCI format is not the correct way of listing these ingredients and when a product label does show these common names, the label is in breach of labelling legislation. But for our purposes...let’s do it! What we want to know is....how many 'NON-CHEMICALS" are present in the example formula. What's the prize? Fig Litsea Hand and Nail Cream Hydrant and Fig Litsea Hydra.Heel with total value of $76.00 to 3 lucky entrants. How to enter? Simply count how many non-chemicals are included below and send your calculation to info@remedica.com.au. Please put the word "competition" as the subject line of your email, and include your full name, delivery address and phone number. Who wins? The 10th, 11th and 12th correct entries will be named the winners. Names of the winners will be published on REMEDICa's facebook page as soon as we have the 12th correct entry and prizes will then be sent out. If you have any questions whatsoever please do not hesitate calling us here at REMEDICa during business hours on 02 93101095.

Featured Product Richesse Body Milk Veloute with Marula Oil Certified organic  /  Certified Fair Trade: Shea Butter, Marula Oil, Licorice Extract Actives: Marula Oil, Shea Butter, Silk Protein, Aloe, Honey, Licorice Extract Combing two of Africa’s stand out skin treasures, Shea fruit butter and the miraculous marula oil, Body Milk Veloute is a stand out body moisturiser for all skin… Features: A uniquely rich, yet light as a feather skin moisturising milk. Nourishingly enhanced by the use of African Fair Trade organic Shea Butter, Marula Oil, as well as Protein Peptides, Certified Organic Honey, Licorice Extract and Aloe Vera. This formula is not quite as rich as the Richesse Body Butter, yet allows application in even the hottest and most humid climates to help protect, nourish and smooth dry skin. Unrefined, organic Shea butter is carefully incorporated into this formula to maintain the natural levels of vitamin E, A and UV absorbing Cinnamate. This body lotion is enhanced by the fragrances of African Vanilla Orchid, Fennel and 5-fold distilled sweet orange essential oils. Fast absorbing and feels like silky, smooth milk on skin. This is a favourite for men and women. Feature Ingredients: Unrefined shea butter from the woman’s co-operative Ghana. Karite trees are non-crop (non-pesticide affected) in this region. Only Unrefined Shea Butter contains unadulterated Vitamin E, A and UV absorbing Cinnamate. Also contains Natural Skin Elasticising Latex to help normalise skin tissue and help prevent stretch marks. Marula Oil—indeed Africa's miracle oil. Coming from the same family as mangos and cashew nuts, marula is one of Africa’s greatest skincare oils with remarkable qualities such as a very high level of natural antioxidants, essential fatty acids (essential components for the maintenance of healthy skin). Key attributes of this great oil cosmetically, in combination with such superior nutritional value are: fast absorption, assisting with hydration and reduction of  trans epidermal water loss (TEWL), helps to reduce redness and vascular pigmentation, and the healing of tissue. These attributes offer facial skin, smoothness, plumpness and elasticity making it an innovative choice for modern cosmetic formulas.   Offer for May: For every purchase of $55.00 or more from our website for the rest of May until June 20,  receive a 200ml Richesse Body Milk Veloute Free!
