MiEssence Organic Cosmetics
After creating Miessence®, the world's fist certified organic skin and body care range, ONEgroup's progression into certified organic cosmetics occurred naturally! As customers learnt more about the undesirable ingredients in skin and body care products, they insisted that manufacturers replace toxic color cosmetics with a pure alternative.
It seems that it was not only customers who thought this was a good idea! Early in 2002, ONEgroup was awarded an Australian Federal Government Grant to develop an organic cosmetic range.
We are proud to offer you truly natural mineral cosmetics with certified organic ingredients that nurture your skin, while providing naturally harmonious colors and lasting performance. This range of organic cosmetics includes:
-
liquid and powder foundation
-
bronzing dust

MiEssence Organic Cosmetics Highlight:
MiEssence Pure Black Mascara
Out With the Old!

Overview:
3400-30 B.C. - Ancient Egyptians used ingredients such as soot, copper, lead and burnt almonds on their lashes. Other mixtures consisted of crocodile dung, honey and onion water. Applicators were sticks of bone, wood, ivory or glass.
1872 - Petroleum jelly was patented and quickly became used to plump and gloss lashes.
1938 - With the arrival of waterproof mascara, women could cry a river and still stay chic! Its 50 percent turpentine formula dried quickly, but it smelled awful and caused some allergic reactions.
1950's - Synthetic formulas replaced the petroleum base in most mascaras.
As they say, 'Out with the old & in with the new!'. . .
Does it matter? Yes!
Skin around the eyes is very sensitive as it's thin and has no oil-protecting glands. Toxins travel directly to the bloodstream.
Conventional mascara contains chemicals you'll want to avoid, such as quaternium-15, BHT, PEG, TEA and synthetic fragrance. Waterproof mascara can contain plasticizers, like polystyrene sulfonate, which can irritate eyes and may be a hormone disruptor.
Petroleum-based ingredients, such as nylon and polyester, are also common in lash-building mascaras as they promote thickness and lengthening, but they have also been found to trigger contact dermatitis.
