Our Story
Five Elements Natural Organic Skincare was developed out of compassion to help a student suffering from severe eczema. Five botanical ingredients were selected for their healing properties to help treat her condition.
Compassion led us to develop a unique herbal formulation for inflamed skin from unique herbal extracts grown in Marlborough. I will never forget how helping just one person with a problem has had a snowballing effect to apply to many others.
Ginkgo biloba, also known as the "maidenhair tree" is renowned for its health benefits in East Asia. Its benefits for the skin are significant and are the subject of this article. We include ginkgo leaf extract as one of the five healing herbal plant extracts that go into all our products.
We are all a year older and, hopefully, a year wiser. While we are getting stuck into our busy routines this year – we thought we’d examine the importance of sleep and what it means for the health of our skin.
