We were super excited when Eco Modern Essentials launched their first Certified Organic essential oils range. This certification guarantees that no synthetic chemicals are used: crops are grown using the most ecologically sustainable methods avoiding harmful pesticides, insecticides and herbicides, and the products are GMO free making them environmentally and socially responsible.

One of the challenges we’ve found when shopping for essential oils are the plastic components in the packaging, such as the lids. One of the reasons that we love this brand is that they have a take-back recycling program, and they reward every customer with a $15 voucher for the privilege of doing this! Eco Modern Essentials have partnered with TerraCycle to effectively recycle all ECO. products ensuring none of them end up in landfill – this applies to their entire range. Plus, your goodies arrive in recycled packaging and they plant trees to offset shipping and deliveries.

🍄 LIFE CYKEL 🍄

We’re all about medicinal mushrooms: taking ancient traditions and wisdom to create tonics that have medicinal properties to support immunity, gut health, hormonal function, the nervous system, and so much more. Life Cykel use the purest, most high-quality, natural food-grade ingredients to nourish your body from inside to out, encouraging natural vitality. Firm believers in mushroom magic, our team are fans of the Chaga Mushroom Liquid Extract that we take in our coffee first thing in the morning; followed by the Cordyceps Mushroom powder before our workouts; and finishing the day with the Reishi Extract that we add to our tea to support restful sleep.

TRY THE MAGIC HERE

Aside from the array of health benefits we LOVE Life Cykel for their commitment to sustainability and circular economy initiatives.

Life Cykel was founded on Circular Economy principals: founders Julian and Ryan began growing gourmet mushrooms in waste coffee grounds. Waste coffee grounds that end up in landfill release large amounts of methane; a greenhouse gas that has 20x the global warming capacity than Carbon Dioxide. So, Julian and Ryan began by collecting waste coffee grounds from local cafes and restaurants, and growing mushrooms on them to sell back to the local community. From here they created urban mushroom farms turning waste into a health solution. And today the team behind Life Cykle use mycelium biotechnology to engineer incredible products for our health, all made in harmony with our planet and mother nature.

Life Cykel are a socially responsible brand too, working with a non-for-profit disability charity, and a fairtrade Indigenous Social Venture Corporation. They’ve also started a super cool Grow & Gift a Tree scheme. Want to know more about this incredible brand?

This homegrown oil is a multi-tasking hero packed with antioxidants, omegas and vitamins A, D and E, And the most amazing thing about it, is that Jojoba has the same molecular structure as the natural wax esters in our skin. Moisturising, anti-aging, nourishing and with the ability to enable our skin cells to regenerate, this incredible oil provides transformative results – naturally.

The hardy jojoba is also drought tolerant with no pests or diseases, therefore no nasty chemicals are used while the plant grows here in Australia.

Since then, Bare Blends have continued to grow organically revolutionising the nutritional food supplement market. Their product range now extends from protein and superfood powders, to plant extract capsules, skin and body care, and even medicinal mushroom powders.

And that’s not all. For every $1 sold from the Bare & Fair range, Bare Blends remove 5kg of carbon from the atmosphere via a Pachama project.
