I would like to share with you how I decided to start our Berrysistible line by blending an all natural skincare lotion with virgin strawberry oil to create products that not only work for all types of skin concerns but also have an irresistible aroma.
Members of my family had discovered by chance and keen observation the amazing skin regenerative properties of a serum produced by a little creature. A substance secreted by their cells to 'bathe' their own skin so that it supports their immune system, which in a way is different than human's immune system and in another it is quite similar, as their innate immune system is thought to be a precursor of our response to damage, injury or infection at a local site of our body. This substance has allowed the little creatures to thrive with their skin exposed nude to hazards from the environment and solar radiation during billions of years.
Handlers of the little creatures that collected them in orchards and vineyards for export to some parts of the world where they are appreciated as a gourmet delicacy noticed that their hands became softer, scars went away in a very short period of time, warts, cuts and abrasions healed very quickly. Laboratory screening, biochemical analysis and application to many volunteers with different skin ailings confirmed their healing and regenerative properties.
Thus, our mission to show the world how amazing this skin care lotion actually is and to bestow its creator with the respect and acknowledgement it really deserves.
But then I became intrigued by some people´s tendency to react with disgust towards the humble little creature that produces the amazing lotion: the brown garden snail that lives in backyards, vineyards and orchards in Mediterranean areas of the world. And just because of its strange appearance and gooey-secretions. Even some who know about the gifts they bring to us humans behave in such a way.
So something started stirring in the back of my mind. And I associated the odd behavior with my own experience with bullying. I happen to be a Red-Head so I know a bit about its torment although as a child I learnt to cope with it. One of the names I got used to was "strawberry shortcake" which for a while did hurt, but soon became a nickname that I really cherish.
That is probably how it occurred to me…"strawberries"…delicious, scrumptious little berries with an irresistible, tantalizing aroma. It was perfect! The perfect complement to an already superior natural skincare product. So I sought to combine the powers of snail serum with the fruity aroma of another Nature's gift.
The result is a gorgeous aroma and the magic of skin rejuvenation… sure to entice anyone into giving these amazing skin care products a try, is it not?
What's more is that they really work!
Not only we were able to create skin care potions with benefits validated by science, but they are also 100% natural and smell so good you might almost be tempted to taste them (… only for Gourmet Lovers).
A magic charm? Nope, our team brews these potions out of scientifically verified biological mechanisms --but our clients keep telling us that the results they've seen are like sorcery, so we won't blame you for wondering!
