What started a few years ago as a hobby in her kitchen for a Queensland Mum Narelle Chenery. looks set to start a revolution in natural skincare - beauty and cosmetic industry. Narelle saw there was a real need to provide some authentically organic and natural skincare to the world. She used her passion and her skills as a chemical engineer to bring forth products of high purity and integrity which were naturally potent and beneficial for their users. Her search for truly natural skincare and cosmetic products began almost a decade ago after finding out through her own extensive research that many of the so-called "natural" and "safe" synthetic chemical ingredients were actually very toxic and potentially very dangerous to the long term health of of anyone who had used them continuously on their skin for years. We are proud to bring to you these exclusive breakthrough products which were the WORLD's FIRST skin care product on the planet that has submitted to, and complies with, the rigorous processing and labelling requirements for certified organic food products. All of the complete range of products here are natural and certified as safe and completely free of man-made chemicals. ![]() |
In 2001 Australia's principal organic certifying body, the Biological Farmers of Australia(BFA) awarded their prestigious "Australian Certified Organic" seal of approval.
The BFA sets and maintains stringent quality standards that either comply with or exceed international requirements. To obtain organic certification for a product, a minimum of 95% of all ingredients of agricultural origin must be certified organic. The remaining 5% of ingredients however are also bound by strict guidelines. They are, for example, not permitted to be synthetic chemicals or artificially processed ingredients.

Testimonial:
I am just soooo impressed with the Skin Care line....totally! This is the best product I have ever used. This is no exaggeration. I have used many different skin care lines over the years - of various different "qualities" and prices.....but these products surpass in quality to all of them. I suppose it's because they are completely organic, but I found that after the cleansing, conditioning, and moisturizing that there was NO residue "oils" left over on the skin. It seemed to me that whatever I put on my face was indeed absorbed by the skin. What was left afterwards was a very smooth, velvety feeling on the skin. As well, I had some small "reddish" discolorations that I just attributed to "age", and after the first usage of this stuff the redness was reduced by 1/2 .... by this morning those spots are barely noticeable.
I am just sooo impressed by this quality. Truly.

Using our range of certified organic skincare and body care naturally stimulates your sense of smell and activates aromatherapeutic benefits. Please enjoy!!
Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of aromatic plant extracts known as essential oils and can be traced back to ancient Chinese, Indian, Hebrew and Arab civilizations. It was however the ancient Egyptians who perfected the art. The aromatic oils occur in various different parts of a plant. Rose essential oil, for instance, comes form rose petals, lemon essential oil from the lemon rind, while the orange yields several different oils from is flowers, its rind and yet another from its fruit. Each essential oil has its own distinctive aroma and beneficial property. Some have a general or stimulating effect on the bodily functions. Most have a remarkable ability to promote the healing process and regenerate new skin tissue. Others are naturally antiseptic and can inhibit bacterial growth.

"It's sensational! My skin has never felt so good in all these years; it looks so healthy and glowing after only two days! I am so excited about these natural skin care products and will be telling all my friends and family. Yvonne M. Clarkeson WA
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been searching the market for a while for an eye cream
knowing that most do nothing but empy your purse, when a girlfriend
told me about Miessence and asked me to come over and have a look
at the products.
I was convinced as soon as they said "no chemicals" in these products. I bought the eye and neck serum and the day I used it my friends could already see an improvement, I was impressed! I'm now a rep for the company and use all the products with satisfaction knowing I'm feeding my skin with goodness. Thankyou!

Testimonial about skin graft and Ambrosia Essence
In October 2004 the top left side of my body was burnt to the third degreefrom an accident in the kitchenI was in hospital for 5 weeksWhen I got out of hospital the skin graft was a deep purple colour. I wore a pressure garment for 3 months to help flatten the scarring, but little change occurred.
A friend told me about Ambrosia EssenceI applied it twice a day and well. the results were amazing. The appearance of my skin graft is now light pink which is almost my skin tone the appearance of my graft is 100 times better than it was when I got out of hospital. My consultant was so shocked when he last saw me for review as the appearance of my graft was so much lighter and better looking. I told him about the product I was using and he said to continue using it. He said the state of my graft is usually the state after a year and this was 6 months after my operation I am sure and confident it will continue to heal more thanks to Ambrosia Essence
With Much Love
and Gratitude

TESTIMONIAL:
I have tried the Shaving Gel and the After Shave Balm and I really like these two products! I was positively surprised by the fact that I only have to use a little Shaving Gel to make the hairs on my face soft enough to shave it away with ease. Normally when using a Shaving Foam, I have to use quite a lot of Foam, but since this is a kind of Gel instead, I don't have to use much. So I think that I can use that product for a long time before it runs out. The After Shave Balm is also very nice, both have sort of an 'organic' smell, but that doesn't bother me.
The Liquid Hand Soap is also a fine product.
Regards,
Erik J, Denmark.
