Clean beauty expert tips

Hoba - jojoba oil can be used on newborns from day 1. This oil (or actually plant wax) is the closest to human sebum in terms of chemistry, which makes it gentle and non-reactive and perfect for delicate newborn skin. Our babies grew up using Hoba daily.

You can use Hoba instead of any and all ALL creams, lotions and products for skin and hair. It works just fine and is much better for you and your family. Read more in Hoba tab below.

Geran - geranium flower water is naturally anti-bacterial, so it is great and does not sting when you use it on red, itchy, irritated skin - yours or your littles ones. Geran calms skin down and helps reduce symptoms of eczema and skin dryness.

Argil - green clay has (naturally) a pH of our blood, which makes it non-reactive to our skin. It is extremely powerful yet very gentle and absolutely cannot be misused. Use on any skin blemishes, psoriasis patches or just as a fun family spa day masque.

Regimen for Mommies

As I am writing this paragraph, I am just like you am too busy taking care of others, starting with little baby bosses that I do not have time for me. And because this lack of time is not going to miraculously improve next week, we need things that are simple, fast, and effective today and every day. 'Things' that you can lather on yourself and on your baby all at the same time. Here is a little routine I have developed that uses all three products in this collection but not all at once. You can experiment and make your own and please do share! :) ~ Hugs, Kate 



Energy & blood circulation with Hoba Oil 

Before shower have a bottle of Hoba oil handy. And your favorite dry brush or exfoliating mitt. This drybrushing ritual and Hoba treatment will leave you with more energy and ready to 'carpe' whatever comes your way! 


  • 1 minute - every day if you can before shower, grab a dry exfoliting mitt, and with C-shaped motions quickly massage your legs from toes up (don't forget inner thights), arms and torso, always moving towards the heart - this drybrushing routine will increase blood circulation, boost energy and help sloath dead skin cells 
  • 2 minutes - shower (while you are in the shower, warm up the back of the neck to get the stagmant lympth to drain, massage face with upward gentle motions and parts of the body where lymph nodes are to keep the blood going
  • 2 minutes - pat slightly if you are dripping wet, but don't dry your skin completely. Add a few drops of Hoba oil and massage with gentle circular motions towards the heart from face, to arms, to toes

This shower drybrushing and oil nourishing for your skin is developed by Michelle, a beautiful busy Mom, and our client, and a 20-year veteran of clean beauty and owner of @browdenver.

Easy tone and detox masque with Argil

After reading this you will never have an excuse you did not have time for a facial masque! And yes, it includes mixing it and applying it and you can do it in seconds.


    1. Start your shower!
    2. While water is warming up, grab your mixing bowl, pour 1-2 tsps of Argil green clay into it
    3. Add a few drops of warm water from the tap to get smooth, slightly runny and creamy consistency - this takes about 5 seconds
    4. Splash some water on your face and apply green clay mixture to face, brows, in around nostrils and neck / decolette area
    5. Shower as usual, and rinse your green clay masque last
    6. When you get out, do not dry your face, leave it slightly wet and apply a drop of Hoba on face and neck and whatever is left on your hands and run through your hair - your are cleansed, primed, moisturized, and conditioned!

    This is my personal ritual and it literally can be done all under 5 minutes. The steam from the shower helps open up pores and gets Argil green clay to work as if it is in a fancy spa! ~ Hugs, Kate

Healthy, hydrated skin with Geran

Geranium flower water or Geran is way underrated for what it does for skin. Naturally anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial, it is a gentle natural ingredient that can help with skin dryness, redness, inflammation and even with some cellulite puckering. This is how we use Geran.


    1. Use Geran before using any oil. If you are using Hoba, after shower massage a few drops of Geran into skin and then add Hoba to seal the moisture
    2. You can use Geran instead of water with Argil green clay facial masque. Not necessary but you absolutely can. But if you use the same mixture now for areas of skin where some more loving is needed, where some cells got stagnant and might have some cellulite, massage the mixture into skin. Or just massage Geran into skin without clay. Both help promote blood circulation.
    3. Geran is great for reducing skin redness after shaving or after peels and other med spa procedures. It is gentle and calming for skin.
    4. Some of our customers report great results using Geran on their legs to reduce appearance of broken capillaries.
    5. And if you need coffee (who does not), add a spoon of geranium water to your French press, Turkish Coffee or any coffee you are making. You might have a new favorite coffee recipe!

Regimen for Babies

When you have products in your arsenal that are amazing multi-taskers for your entire family, you can save time and money and have a peace of mind that what you are putting on your kids' skin are the best ingredients in the world. 


Keep their skin soft & protected with Hoba

  • use Hoba oil after a diaper change to keep skin protected and healthy. Hoba is very gentle and soothing, if your little one develops diaper rash
  • use Hoba oil after bath on warm, slightly wet skin to keep skin protected and moisturized
  • use Hoba oil on cradle cap and dry skin anywhere


Chapped lips, dry hands - Hoba is delicate and yet very effective for any kid to use. Let your little one help apply a few drops of Hoba on their smily faces after shower and rub a few drops on the knees and bellies too!


Hoba is truly the best when little runny noses are red after being rubbed and wiped a lot. It does not sting! And it soothes and help heal skin. Use on warm skin, preferably wash skin with warm water, and add a few drops of oil.

Argil clay masque for kids? Why not!

Green clay, Katari Argil, is naturally anti-bacterial and is naturally hypoallergenic. It is gentle and does not sting skin. It helps protect, cleanse and detoxify skin. It is gentle enough that it can be used on kids. 


We usually do a 'Mommy and me' facial masque with green clay and let little ones play and get messy in a bathtub with some green clay goodness. It is good to have some clay in the water to keep cleanse skin and add those beneficial minerals to skin.


As it is usually pretty hard to get your toddlers to throughly enjoy a facial masque, having a fun, playful time is so much better and green faces look so cute! Send us photos of you and yours partaking in Argil masque fun!


For teens, when those breakouts happen, Argil is a much better alternative to harsh chemicals and acne creams. Don't let them overdry skin with alcohol or acohol-based products. Skin needs oils and skin needs to maintain its protective barrier. Hoba oil helps with the first and Argil helps with the second and it dries out the excess oils too, so that breakouts can go away much faster.

Geran is a gentle anti-bacterial hydrator!

Geranium flower water has been used for centuries in the Mediterranean for all kinds of skin conditions. A light natural antiseptic, with great anti-inflammatory benefits, Geran can go on red, irritated skin.


You can use Geran on scratches and bruises to help heal skin faster.


For eczema, massage geranium flower water onto affected areas. And the best part, it does not sting skin. And it is one, proven by millenia ingredient!


Regimen for Daddies

When you can share same products in the bathroom with your significant other, you are running into one big risk - he might like them too much and move them to his side of the vanity. In either case, having your man use clean products that he will love because they are easy, versitile, have no fragrance or oily sheen, is a win-win!


Healthy skin, hair & beard with scent-free Hoba 

This is how any gentleman can use Hoba: make sure to always use the oil on slightly wet, warm skin, the best time is after shower.


For hair and beard treatment, steam in the shower and apply a few drops while in the shower to allow oil get into the hair follicles. Rinse off if necessary, though not needed.


Use instead of a shaving cream or as a moisturizing oil post shave (perfect after Geran - geranium flower water, which can be a new natural aftershave.


Hoba is great for hard-working dry hands, dry cuticles and dry heels. Use daily after shower and you will see how much skin improves!

  • Pre & after shave conditioning oil

  • Beard lube and hair conditioner

  • All over skin moisturizer for lips, hands, heels, etc

Clear, blemish-free skin with Argil

Having a facial masque is manly! You can prep it for your man or he can schlap on some dirt (literally, as it is mud) all by himself. It does not need to be perfect - it will still work!


Use Argil green clay as a spot treatment for breakouts and blemishes - just use a pinch-size and mix in your palm and apply to the blemish. Let it dry off and wash off.


Bacne? Treat it with a back treatment at home. Here is a little visual on the photo.


Believe it or not, but using Argil green clay INSTEAD of a shampoo can help cleanse scalp much better, which helps promote hair growth and will also add texture and volume to hair without additional products. How cool is that?

  • Acne, blemishes and breakouts

  • Dandruff and fine hair with poor growth & hair loss

  • Use as a rinse for face to keep skin clear & hair thick

Hydrating, odor-controling after shave - Geran

Geranium flower water does not smell like flowers. It can, if it is watered down, but we do not water down anything, so it has a strong scent but it does not linger on your skin.


The easiest ways to use Geran is after shaving to reduce redness and irritation and those ingrown hairs and red bumps. Don't forget to put a few drops of Hoba right after Geran - water and oil mix and they need each other to provide the moisture barrier and skin defense. It will make a huge difference on how skin feels.


Odors? Sweaty armpits or feet? Use some Geran. Simply splash a few drops on your palms and apply to where needed.


Did you know that geranium flower water is perfect natural way to help with eczema. Apply on affected areas. It will also not sting. Pretty nice, eh?

  • Natural anti-bacterial after shave

  • Deodorant and odor-reducing spray

  • Redness reducing skin hydrator

Hoba PRO tips

For Mommies

When using Hoba as a cleanser - apply to skin dampened with water or toner (Roseau), work with your hands or a fresh washcloth. Always use oils on slightly wet, warm skin - you will use much less product and effect will be so much better.

For Daddies

Use Hoba instead of a beard oil, for conditioning hair and moisturizing skin after shave. Add a few drops to slightly wet hands, heels, and cuticles to help with dryness and get skin to heal.

For Babies

Massage Hoba into sligthly wet skin after shower / bath and apply to dry skit patches (cradle cap), chapped lips or dry hands. Add a few drops to Argil green clay masque for more hydration.

Argil PRO tips

Mixing

Always mix with non-reactive, non metal utensils (clay has metals (iron) and it is very important to mix correctly to avoid oxidation. Usually 1 part of clay and 2 parts of water are enoug for a slightly runny and smooth consistency.

Storage

Always use Argil green clay masque freshly prepared. You can store it in the fridge after mixing, but you will find that it gets hard quickly and it is difficult to make good consistency again. Always keep your clay in air-tight container - Argil absorbs smells and moisture (similar to baking soda).

Application

Avoid sensitive areas under eyes and direct contact with eyes. Wash with warm water if clay gets in the eyes. Do not overdry skin with a facial masque on - when you 'cannot smile', it is time to rinse it off. If any redness occurs, don't worry, it is clay doing its thing - bringing blood closer to the skin surface. This redness will go away on its own in minutes. It is not an allergic reaction.

Why you need non-reactive accessories?

One of the most important elements of any product and beauty recipe is its' pH. If pH is off, the recipe is not the same and skin does not react to it the same way. So most amazing natural ingredients can work not as well, or simply do not work when used incorrectly. For help with this, we created sustainable, plastic-free accessories that will not change the pH and will not add to landfills. And you can use them all not just in your beauty ritual, but in the kitchen as well.

Olivewood Spatula

Olive wood is naturally hardy and non porous, which helps repell bacteria. It washes well and can serve you for a very long time. Handwash after each use and season with olive oil for shine. You can use this spatula to measure, mix, and apply Argil green clay (one spatula-full is enough for one masque). And on trips you can use this little spatula to feed your little one yoghurt or ice-cream or mix a beverage. 

Glass mixing bowl

Glass, well our pure, plastic-free, hand blown glass is non-reactive to ingredients. You can mix your recipes in this beautiful hand-crafted bowl.


Another reason to use glass vs. plastic is that you have a functional work of art that looks pretty. And yes, it is glass, so use it with care just like any glass object. And it is dishwasher safe.

Cleansing sponge

This sea sponge is called 'silk' because it is silky smooth and soft. It grows sustainably on a farm in the Atlantic Ocean. 


This sponge is great for cleansing your face or washing your baby. After each use just wash with mild soap and warm water and squeeze out extra water and let it dry.
