25.01.2022 You cant imagine the positive effect of taking 3 minutes to care for yourself and your skin each day, until you try it. Its ironic - 3 minutes seems like nothing, yet it can be so hard to find in a hectic day! Thats why integrating your daily moment of mindful stillness and breathing WITH your skin routine is such a genius move. Care for your skin & calm your mind, all in the time it takes to make a cup of tea. All our MV Skintherapy Rituals can be found on our website for you to learn and enjoy xx . . #skin #therapy #mindfulness #selfcare #ritual #naturalskincare

23.01.2022 Beauty. Its an Attitude. The popular ideal of beauty is a fluid concept which changes wildly depending on what continent (and what century!) youre in. One thing that never changes is that when we are healthy, relaxed, confident and feeling like our authentic selves, THATS when were at our most beautiful... This month, were exploring the theme of beauty as an attitude, rather than an arbitrary look. Were talking about effortless style that defies trends, the beauty ...of laughter lines and the glow that comes from inhabiting your own skin and your own space, without apologies or disguises. These are the measures of true beauty, way more than how straight your hair is, how tiny your waist or how expensive your handbag! We look forward to undefining what beauty is, with you. . . . @levysfriends #undefiningbeauty #beautyisanattitude #radiatelove See more

23.01.2022 "Because of her, we can!" Social worker. Humanitarian. Land rights pioneer. Mum to over 60 yes 60! children in need throughout her lifetime. Mum Shirl was a prominent Wiradjuri woman whose welfare work started with visits to incarcerated First Nations men across the state. Recognised as an Australian National Living Treasure and nominated a Member of the British Empire and Member of the Order of Australia, Shirl spoke 16 different Indigenous Languages and is the only wo...man in Australia to have been given unrestricted access to prisons in NSW. Tireless, proud, loving and fierce, Mum Shirls legacy lives on in the services she helped set up, including the Aboriginal Legal Service, Medical Service, Housing Company, the Tent Embassy and the Aboriginal Childrens Service, which change lives to this day. . . . @cooeegallery #mumshirl #legacy #womenwithattitude #inspiringwomen #wiradjuri #firstnations See more

23.01.2022 Few aromas trigger memories like lavender. Beyond taking us right back to warm childhood hugs from Grandma, lavender is a wonder-oil which is balancing, calming and soothing to the skin... AND a mood-boosting skin energiser! Inhaling lavender releases alpha waves in the part of your brain that causes relaxation, or try massaging a therapeutic oil blend containing lavender into skin to sooth irritation, speed healing and help protect against environmental damage including sunb...urn. If youre wondering which MV products contain this aromatherapy all star? Try...

22.01.2022 Did you know that Kakadu Plums represent the highest natural source of vitamin C in the world! Up to 6% of its weight is vitamin C! Theyre also an excellent source of antioxidants, containing 6 times the amount of polyphenols (micronutrients) and 13.3 times more antioxidant activity than blueberries. Best of all? This tiny-but-mighty botanical star, which has been used by the First Nations people of Northern Australia since time immemorial, is a core ingredient in our NEW Native Power Serum, and has been used to further boost our powerful MV Oxygen Moisturiser. . . . #kakaduplum #indigenousfood #australiannatives #vitaminc #antioxidants

22.01.2022 Imagine shelling out money to have something precious removed from you, and then later spending MORE money to buy back an inferior version of that precious thing... you wouldnt do it, right?! Unfortunately, so many of us do. Our skin has a natural barrier, made up of perspiration, water, sebum and lipids. Its called the hydrolipidic film and it - along with the good bacteria living there - protects our skin against external aggressors. Harsh, chemical skin treatments, alcoh...ol-based products and over-exfoliation strips our skin of this precious layer and leaves it vulnerable and sensitive. This film can replenish itself over time if taken care of with gentle, natural skincare. Resist the urge to go for squeaky clean when it comes to cleansing, and youll retain the natural defences already working for you! . . . @martabevacqua #lessismore #skinhealth #sensitiveskincare #hydrolipid #naturalskincare

20.01.2022 To love what you do and feel that it matters how could anything be more fun? Katharine Graham. If youve watched The Post, youll know Katharine Graham. She was the first ever-female CEO of a Fortune 500 company and the editor of the Washington Post for an incredible 26 years. When her father stepped down as editor and owner of The Post, he initially handed the reigns to Katharines husband Phillip, not even considering Katharine at the time due to her gender. After Ph...illips suicide, Katharine stepped up and led The Post on to become one of the worlds most formidable publishers, well known for its role in exposing the Watergate scandal and ending the Nixon presidency. Katharine was a champion of workplace gender equality decades before it became a topic, and was a trailblazer for women working in the media.

20.01.2022 "Over 20 years ago, the natural beauty industry could be found on a half-shelf in the health-food store. I was told, more times than I can remember, that MV was a bad idea. That no one cared about luxury organics (and that no one wanted to hear the truth about their face cream). I didn’t listen, and I did it my way anyway small-batch, handmade and with nature’s most expensive oils and your healthy, glowing skin is the best result we could have hoped for. That’s MV for you: true to our name, in both Vision, and Values Sharon Xx Jay Lioz Photography #ceo #femalefounder #womanownedbusiness #holistichealth #naturalskincare #mvskintherapy #mvskincare #australianmadeandowned

19.01.2022 MV is not certified organic - and we dont want to be! Why? Well, our world-famous Rose Soothing & Protective Moisturiser contains pure H2O as the base for us to whip this luxurious rich cream. This means we arent certified organic because:... Water cannot legally be counted as an organic ingredient. We could, as some green companies do simply add dehydrated aloe vera powder into the water, and VOILA the entire water content could now be counted as organic. We did try this! As we always favour organic ingredients and will always use them when they meet our exacting standards. However, our luxurious and rich cream formulation became a light and sticky lotion when Aloe Vera was added to the water component. Sharon sat down for a chat with FASHION Magazine writer Lesa Hannah in 2018 to discuss her controversial stance.

18.01.2022 9 Oil Radiance Tonic Formerly known as 9 Oil Cleansing Tonic. This updated name change better reflects its incredibly versatile and powerful combination of therapeutic oils that work to not only deeply cleanse and detoxify, but function as an intensive hydrating and reparative oil treatment. Follow this ritual and find some peace: ~inhaling deeply~... Warm 6 drops between both palms and smooth over freshly cleansed skin. Massage for 2 whole minutes, focusing on areas requiring extra care and attention. To deeply infuse, hold a steamy compress cloth over the face for a slow-count-of-five, repeating 2 to 4 times. For best results, use 3 to 4 times weekly or as often as needed. . . . #multipurpose #essentialoils #aromatherapy #oilcleanser #skinritual

18.01.2022 ENERGISING MASK Looking for something with a bit more out of your clay mask routine? The Energising Mask is a must have if your skin has been neglected or is looking a little dull. This mask returns a healthy glow to devitalised and sun-damaged complexions, and noticeably improves skin tone and texture.

18.01.2022 Come away with us this evening to the fragrant, sunlit slopes of the French Alps, where High Altitude Lavender - one of the most sought after plants on earth - is grown. What makes it so special is the high Linalyl Acetate content, which boosts the inherent antibacterial and antiviral properties of lavender. It makes High Altitude Lavender the preferred choice of aromatherapists and essential oil practitioners who use lavender medicinally (not just for its glorious fragrance).

15.01.2022 Camellia Seed Oil Camellia OleiferaNative to Japan and South East Asia, this stunning floral plant is more commonly known as the plant from which tea is produced. Oil obtained from the seeds of this therapeutic plant is particularly abundant with skin loving lipids, most notably its ultra-high content of Omega-9 (oleic acid). This nourishing oil is super lightweight and is easily absorbable, allowing for deep dermal penetration that supports the skin while improving flex...ibility and structure, and creates an instantly smooth and supple complexion - minus the greasy feel. It is non-comedogenic and perfect for both oily and dry complexions. Seeds of the Camellia plant hold impressive medicinal properties due to the collection of unique tea polyphenols with Vitamins A, B, D, and E. Together this combination provides a diverse range of antioxidant action that functions to protect and repair from UV damage and support healthy cell growth. Our Camellia Oil is always certified organic and cold-pressed. We regard this oil and its therapeutic benefits so highly that it is featured in every MV product, except the; Gentle Cleansing Bar Rose Hydrating Mist Native Power Serum . . . @aliharper #camellia #oil #skinlovinglipids #allskintypes #antioxidants #organic #coldpressed See more

14.01.2022 This fabulous quote is often wrongly credited to American author F. Scott Fitzgerald (of Great Gatsby fame!) but its a whole lot more recent than that.

13.01.2022 Gratitude, put simply, is the act of acknowledging someones kindness or acknowledging the goodness in our lives. Its an incredibly positive emotion which we feel and express in many different ways but, undoubtedly, expressing gratitude enhances our relationship with ourselves, with others and with the world around us. Whether you write a daily journal and list what you are grateful for or you simply think of one thing each day to acknowledge, make it a habit. The pay off - an instant mood boost and a daily reminder to stop and smell the roses.

12.01.2022 Mask-ne, acne mechanica, covid face... weve been hearing a lot about this new form of skin ailment for a while now.

09.01.2022 Since 1999, MV has been one of the first Australian beauty brands to align with naturopaths and health practitioners. Sharons vision and values have regularly found her out of favour with the mainstream beauty industry and in the early days, MV was dismissed as niche and alternative.

06.01.2022 Hyaluronic acid (HA) is just one of the powerful ingredients in our new Native Power Serum. But do you know why we INSIST on only ever applying the serum to damp skin? Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring humectant found within our skin cells and declines as we age. This water loving molecule seeks out H2O like a hungry scavenger and is able to hold 1000x its weight in water. When applied to damp skin the HA is able to grab these water particles and deliver them into the... skin for much needed hydration. HOWEVER, if applied to dry skin it can have the opposite effect and draw moisture away from the skin, leaving it feeling tight and thirsty. So for all the juicy skin-loving benefits, ensure that you are following these rules: 1. Always apply to freshly spritzed, damp skin. 2. Always seal with a moisturiser, jojoba or oil. #HyaluronicAcid #hydratedskin #Serum #australianmade

06.01.2022 We LOVE and had to share this explanation of the differences between excellence and perfection with you. Its a big topic for us, coming from an industry which feeds (and feeds off) our unhealthy obsession for perfection to exist! We hope it resonates with you as much as it did with us xx EXCELLENCE vs PERFECTION. Excellence is the willingness to be wrong. Perfection is being right. Excellence is risk. Perfection is fear.... Excellence is powerful. Perfection is anger and frustration. Excellence is accepting. Perfection is judgement. Excellence is spontaneous. Perfection is conformity. Excellence is flowing. Perfection is pressure. Excellence is journey. Perfection is destination. Excellence is surrender. Perfection is consuming. Excellence is trust. Perfection is selfishness. . . . #excellencevsperfection #beautyisanattitude #beexcellent See more

05.01.2022 Have you ever heard of the concept of wabi-sabi? At the heart of this Japanese philosophy is accepting your imperfections and making the most of life, along with the belief that nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect. The art of Kintsugi is one of the most beautiful examples of the spirit of Wabi-sabi in real life. Artists take cracked pottery and mend it with gold dusted lacquer, as a way to showcase the beauty of its age and damage Imagine if we tho...ught about our own skin and selves - this way?! . . . #kintsugi #wabisabi #perfectimperfections #selflove See more

04.01.2022 YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE RELATIONSHIP STATUS should never read as 'it's complicated'. Can you count the products you use daily on more than one hand? If so, it's time to streamline. There are enough environmental stressors for your skin to deal with each day without overburdening it with chemicals and synthetic ingredients. All your skin needs is a few simple steps - if you can get your method right you'll cut out the need for a load of other things. Examples? 1Gently remove... cleanser with a warm steamy cloth and you won't need to exfoliate. 2Use jojoba oil to remove your eye makeup and you won't need an eye cream. 3Use a nourishing, rich moisturiser and you won't need a primer under your makeup. Complicated does not equal effective. The fewer layers, the better #simpleskincare #skincareroutine #gentleskincare #lessismore #minimalism

04.01.2022 Feeling un-beautiful today? It happens to all of us, no matter how empowered we may usually feel. If youre feeling meh this week, we can recommend creating your own little skin ritual to help banish the un-beautiful blues. Not only will the extra attention give your skin a glorious glow, youll also feel relaxed and pampered. Make a moment of it, with a cup of your favourite tea or glass of wine and a soothing playlist on the speaker, and focus on FEELING good, not just ...looking good. We recommend either our Signature Mask Ritual or our 9 Oil Ritual, but any MV ritual (or one of your own devising!) will work.

03.01.2022 Having the confidence to wear whatever the hell you want - especially if its androgynous and practical - is a legacy of MV icon Katharine Hepburn. She spent a lifetime spent disregarding conventions, and these days is famous for - literally - wearing the pants, becoming one of the first women to publicly do so in Hollywood. Legend has it that when the costume department at RKO stole her slacks, Kate walked around the studio in her underwear, refusing to put her clothes on until she got her pants back. Kates pants became iconic, and in 1939, Vogue first featured women in pants. #beautyisanattitude

01.01.2022 Feeling a little... meh... lately? We hear you. Where we are its cold, dark and our newsfeeds are pretty gloomy. We have some tips to help shake off the winter blues for you below - if you have others, wed love you to share with us all too! 1) Keep moving. We know, its hard to motivate yourself in winter but the benefits of exercise - endorphins, better sleep and me-time - are sooo worth it.... 2) Stay hydrated. When its cold we tend to drink less but our body - and skin - still needs moisture. Hot herbal teas can be a great way to drink more fluids in winter. 3) Skincare is Self Care. Treat yourself to a seasonal, at-home skin therapy or a new product to support your bodys biggest organ in this dry weather. Why not give our new Native Power Serum a try? . . . @hannaschonberg #selfcare #winter #seasonal #hydrate #keepmoving #sleep
