The
Cosmetic
Kitchen
Tell us a little more about The
Cosmetic Kitchen...
The Cosmetic Kitchen is the
vehicle through which we intend to
revolutionise the cosmetic industry,
and show women that making
cosmetics is as easy as baking a
cake! When you walk into our little
shop of colourful delights here on
King Street, Newtown, you might
quickly realise you have stumbled
upon a very special space.
What was the major source
of inspiration to create The
Cosmetic Kitchen?
I was totally outraged at how sick
women I knew were becomming.
Every day, somebody was on a fight
against depression, a fight cancer
and a fight against another auto
immune disorder. Something had
to give! As the saying goes, from
desperation comes inspiration...
the more I researched ingredients
in my favourite brands, the more
rage I felt. I love cosmetics,
and I love nothing more than
an empowered woman - yet in
chasing the next 'look' we were all
becoming ill. Today, we count far
too many calories, and not enough
chemicals - so I feverishly started
experimenting with products in my
little humble kitchen at the time - I
self taught myself all the ingredients,
and set off like a mad scientist
with the sole purpose to reinvent
the colour cosmetics world into
something that represented true
beauty. I questioned everything - I
mean everything, that was in my
products, and with perseverance,
reinvented the wheel with each
ingredient one by one over nearly a
decade behind the scenes - finally,
came success. the cosmetic kitchen
doors swung open to the women of
the world.
We love that you are not only
cruelty-free, but vegan friendly
too. Tell us about the ingredients
that are included, as well as,
excluded in your products...
We dont use parabens, we dont
use suspected carcinogens such
as dyes, lakes and talcum, we
skipped all animal secretions such
as lanolin, we use botanical plant
waxes instead of beeswax. We
dont use ANY synthetic fragrances,
such as phalates and other nasties
that disrupt the endochrine system
and whack hormones off balance.
When you smell a choc mint body
brulee, you literally are smelling
the raw cacao butter and the
peppermint oil!
What makes The Cosmetic
Kitchen different from other
organic, vegan brands?
For starters, The Cosmetic Ktchen,
to us, isn’t a brand, we think of it as
a lifestyle revolution. Its like, Martha
Stewart meets Masterchef, meets a
