‘Can you create specialist skincare for cancer patients?’
This question, asked by my local NHS hospital was the question that started it all – the question coupled with my outrage that those affected by cancer were ignored by the beauty industry. In recent years, I have been asked more questions, ‘Do you have anything for my sore feet?’ ‘Can you help me with my dry hands?’ I have a rule, if I get asked 3 times, I make the product, in this case,
Defiant Beauty Mild Mint Foot Balm and
Defiant Beauty Healing Hand Balm. I have always concentrated on skincare for cancer patients, ignoring requests for skin care products to help with non-cancer related conditions……at least I did, until last year.
Can you make some skincare to help with the symptoms of menopause?
It seemed churlish not to help. Cancer patients commonly experience premature, chemical or surgical menopause – it is part of the treatment. I have a lot of experience in helping with hot flushes and itchy skin – creating a menopause skincare collection was the next step. As this collection is not for those affected by cancer, I was able to use a wider range of natural and organic ingredients – it has been fun. I hope you like them. Sending warmth Jennifer
