Our story and mission worth to be shared.

Humble Beginnings started this simple, natural concept. Welcome to my story that's turned into a passion, Lisa's vision. It was not always about all of this. Natural Candles started this and quickly realized that ethics had a part to play. I was enlightened very quickly that there are so many secrets in the home and body industry. I also went down a rabbit warren about disruptors and parabens, synthetics, and to say I was shocked is pretty close. I will summarize some of this as my research often takes a long time.

I do not mind sharing a few glimpses of my findings. Not all things that thicken your products are good for your skin. Not all colors are ethical; no one could guarantee no child labor was involved, and I struggled with this. Many said this and that. I have allergies and simple needs. I started making items for myself and found it great. My skin was better, and I liked them better. I had used supermarket bits all my life. It was a revelation to me. I am now sharing my revolution. I like not getting itchy scalps using my hair products. I like using oil on my skin to moisturize; I like hair products that thicken my hair. I like oils that don't feel oily. I love nice smells that are not synthetic, and I have nothing to worry about. I have a different spin on this industry to many, and that's ok, because I keep it real. 

Eco stands for eco-products that bring eco principles of environment, quality products, and ethical practices. I believe in ingredients that are on products. I believe natural is best whenever you can; that should be first. I also think they are better. When your body does not need to fight, what you are using it for is a win-win situation. You will learn I am opinionated, ddefinite kind, and well-meaning. You will learn I keep a clean area I work in and test my products; I also have product labels that tell you what is in them. Not only does New Zealand law say you have to, but I want to, and I don't want to hide what I use. 

I do research on everything I make, and I prefer tried and proven. Also, I have many colleagues that I can talk to and bounce ideas off of. It's a treasure trove of data now, thankfully, if you know where to look. Also, I am a research buff, so I am in my element. I am not sure I have a favorite product; I like them all. I have tried them all except if I use something with nut oil (I am allergic big time). I am on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, but not that seriously on TikTok. I have a Pinterest but not heaps there. I want my website to be my best resource. Thank you for letting me share.

I will keep sharing my products and my thoughts; I hope you enjoy.
