Below is an interview with Karen Sinclair Drake of Sophyto. Source- The soil association.org
“Organic principles are a point of difference between an authentic brand and a bogus one. Organic also supports the farmer as opposed to the petro-chemical industry.”
Karen’s personal quest searching for an effective natural anti-aging line has indeed taken many years. Working with expert chemists and doctors, she found inspiration from complementary and alternative medicine which emphasises the body’s innate ability to heal and maintain itself. Taking this concept and applying it to skincare supported her theory that skin has the ability to defend, heal and maintain itself.This holistic has attracted more customers who are dermatologists and naturopathic doctors who appreciate the science behind the ingredients.
Can you give a short history of how you got to where you are now, including why and when you went organic?
We joined the UK Soil Association in 2002 where we spent five years in research and development formulating a professional line to very strict, robust standards. Sophyto was the first professional skincare company certified by the Soil Association and in early 2008 we launched the line at the American Academy of Dermatologists in Texas. We felt it was important to gain support from the scientific community as there are still many people on the fence about how effective organic and natural products are. To this day we work with skincare professionals around the world and that really helps endorse just how effective these products are.
Organic principles – why do they matter?
They’re a point of difference between an authentic brand and a bogus one. Organic also supports the farmer as opposed to the petro-chemical industry (in relation to health and beauty care standards).
What does the Soil Association mean to you?
We view the Soil Association as the Rolls Royce of eco symbols. Just after we became certified after all those years in R&D, we were invited to join the health and beauty care standards committee, which was a great honour. We work as a US arm of the Soil Association and enjoy educating potential licensees to the many benefits of carrying such a prestigious symbol on their products.
Who are your customers and where are they?
Our customers are naturopathic doctors, plastic surgeons, dermatologists and spas and online specialty retailers, as well as organic-loving consumers everywhere. Our biggest market is the US and we also have a wonderful loyal UK customer base who can shop directly from our website.
What do you love most about what you do?
Pushing the boundaries, seeing the invisible and watching our team conjure up fabulous products from nature’s bounty.
What do you find most frustrating about what you do?
Travelling and staying in hotels takes its toll sometimes.
If I wasn’t doing this, I would be…
…designing sustainable textiles.
Who or what is your biggest inspiration?
It sounds like a cliché, but my biggest inspiration comes from nature.
If I was Prime Minister I would…
…make every citizen more accountable for taking care of our planet and its inhabitants.
What is the most important lesson life has taught you?
Patience.
When were you happiest?
When I had both of my parents.
What is your favourite meal?
Organic roasted vegetables drizzled with white truffle oil, a little Celtic sea salt and cracked black pepper.
Dream dinner party guest?
Karl Pilkington, so he could share his tales of visiting the Seven Wonders of the World. I think he’s hilarious!

Happy New Year!!
I have learnt that the best resolutions are the ones that you make not just for a year, but for a lifetime. This year I am going to resolve to make more time for myself, feeling more beautiful and pampered, pampering myself improves my self confidence and self esteem. Pampering means more massages, more relaxation time in the bath, having facials, styling my hair, and manicures. Feeling much better about myself is taking a little more time to apply protective mineral powder and touching up my face with mascara and a bit of lip gloss. Taking care of my body and soul, and treating my body with love and respect, gives me the feeling of well being and contentment. It is about leading a happier life one healthy choice at a time. Good health is the best treatment of all. The New Year is the best time to resolve in making healthy changes.
Below are some suggestions for healthy beauty resolutions to make for 2012.
Stress reduction – Taking the time to quiet your mind on a regular basis can improve your mental and physical health dramatically. Meditation is a practice that will keep you focused, aligned and centred on what it is that you truly want, it is a practise that keeps the body and mind in a state of balance and bliss, a state where healing takes place. Choose to reduce stress through meditation, yoga, or long quiet walks on the beach or in the countryside, breathing in the healing fresh air.
Living an environmentally friendly lifestyle – Make some eco-resolutions, we all care about the environment and they are safer and healthier for you and your family.
Eat whole organic fresh food – Clean out your cupboard of all your unhealthy food- processed snacks, fast food, alcohol, condiments, and carbonated drinks. Try to stick to a diet of whole foods, including fresh vegetables, fruit, whole grains, nuts, healthy oils and unprocessed ingredients.
Daily Exercise – We all know that doing a lot more exercise can improve your health and reduce stress.
Give up toxic chemical beauty products – Just remember that what you put on your body can be just as important as what you put in your body.
What are your resolutions for 2012? Whatever they may be we would love to hear about them. The New Year is a time to set new intentions for the year and work on the projects and desires that we all want to achieve which gives us a motivating feeling of starting anew.
While we are on this subject, we have come across this article NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS-COMMIT click on the link, there are a couple of great suggestions here and it is a great read.
Phytonutrients
Phytonutrients are certain organic components of plants that play a key role in anti aging and hugely beneficial to skin health and beauty.
Synthesis 345 draws on the rich sources of phytonutrients found in fruits, vegetables, seaweed, grains, legumes, and nuts to nourish your skin. Some studies show that the bioactive functions of phytonutrients — or the way they work in your body can:
•Act as antioxidants
shop for synthesis 345
•Stimulate detoxification enzymes
•Stimulate the immune system
•Positively affect hormones
•Act as antibacterial or antiviral agents
Phytonutrients important to skin health and beauty are:
Flavanoids- Flavanoids great for the health of blood vessels, strengthen capillaries that supply important nutrients to the skin’s cells, as well as supporting cellular membranes. Healthy cell membranes regenerate quickly, and slow the aging process. Flavanoids also reduce inflammation. References: Erica Angyal, Gorgeous Skin In 30 Days (Lothian Books, 2005), Chug-Ahuja et al, Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 1993; vol 93: pp 318
Carotenoids- Carotenoids strengthen cell membranes.
Antioxidants- Antioxidants supplying an extra oxygen molecule to those molecules that are missing one, called free radicals. If antioxidants don’t supply the missing oxygen molecule to free radicals, the free radicals will take an oxygen molecule from another compound in the body resulting in damage to cells. Left unchecked, Free Radicals can alter:
•the fatty layers in your cellular membranes, that provide structure to the cell, and control which nutrients can pass in and out.
•the DNA – make skin inclined to wrinkles and sagging before its natural biological time with large, open pores.
•cross-linking of collagen fibers – occurs in the skin’s dermis, as a result of collagen and elastin fibers becoming hard and thick.
Anti-ageing Phytonutrients in Synthesis 345 products
Sodium Hyalonurate (Derived from Algae) Sodium Hyalonurate is an unparalleled super hydrating and plumping ingredient – reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to give you a healthy, plump, smooth and glowing appearance.
Oryza sativa (Rice) – Oryza sativa regulates melanin production and has been used in far eastern cultures for years to help brighten and lighten the complexion. Rice bran extract also contains lipoic acid, an antioxidant, and vitamin B5 (niacin) to help improve cellular circulation.
Olivoyl Hydrolysed Wheat Protein- Olivoyl Hydrolysed Wheat Protein has tensor & film-forming properties (increases firmness of the skin), nourishes and smoothes skin, retains moisture, reduces wrinkles. A natural protein high in amino acids derived from wheat. Readily absorbed to help to soften and improve the texture and appearance of the skin. Excellent tensor & film-forming properties (increases firmness of the skin), nourishes and smoothes skin & hair (improves skin feeling & softness), moisture retainer (protects skin & hair from drying out), decreases number and depth of wrinkles, volumizing effects.
Bio-hyaluronate Ferment Algal is the most powerful moisturizer & humectant known so far, provides smoothness & softening to the skin, excellent anti-wrinkle effects and promotes growth of new skin cells. Derived from a natural polysaccharide (large sugar molecule) that occurs in great abundance in young skin, thus it has been called the “key to the fountain of youth.”
We use Hyaluronic Acid derived from algae rather than the synthetic version or the type derived from animals. Diet and smoking can also affect your body’s level of hyaluronic acid over time, along with pollutants and sunlight.
Licorice Root – Glycyrrhetinic Acid- A potent antioxidant that is also a strong anti-inflammatory and soothing anti-irritant.
Triterpenoid saponin-Which can aid in the absorption of nutrients.
Aloe Barbardensis Leaf Extract The aloe plant has more than 200 biologically active agents:
•Daily Dose of Minerals: Some of the minerals found in Aloe Vera include calcium, sodium, iron, potassium, chromium, magnesium, manganese, copper, and zinc. What a powerful storehouse!
•Daily Dose of Vitamins. Aloe Vera Gel includes Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C and E, Folic Acid and Niacin.
•Anti-inflammatory Properties – Aloe Vera Gel has 12 natural substances that have been shown to inhibit inflammation without side effects.
•Amino acids are our body’s building blocks. Eight of which are essential and cannot be made by the body are found within the aloe plant! An analysis of the Aloe Vera plant shows that it comes closer than any other known plant to the duplication of essential amino acids.
•Provides Rapid Soothing – Aloe Vera enhances fibroblast function. Fibroblasts are those remarkable little cells responsible for collagen formation. They also assist in the soothing of minor burns, cuts, scrapes, sunburn, and skin irritations. Aloe keeps skin supple by bringing oxygen to the cells.
Natural Vitamin E (D Alpha Tocopherol)- Natural Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant / free radical scavenger which helps protect our skin from damage caused by pollutants and sun exposure. It also exhibits soothing properties. Research has shown that vitamin E can double the life of human cells. It is therefore an excellent against premature ageing and wrinkles.
Knotweed (Polygonum Mutiflorum) – Knotweed was recently reported as one of the best active-oxygen scavengers for the prevention of skin aging induced by UV-irradiation and free radical. Long used in Asia and in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Lutein- Lutein is a powerful, free-radical quenching antioxidant and carotenoid found in plants, fruits and leafy green vegetables. It stimulates the skin’s own renewal process; helps fight the damaging effects of sunlight, pollution, stress and ageing.
Lycopene Vit- A precursor and carotenoid found in high concentration in tomatoes, pink grapefruit, watermelon, guava. It is a proven antioxidant neutralizing the cell damaging effect of environmental free radicals responsible for skin ageing.
Euphrasia Officinalis (Eyebright) – Euphrasia Officinalis contains tannins with astringent and anti-inflammatory properties.
Lactic Acid- Lactic Acid is a vegetable-derived alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) with the ability to stimulate cell renewal.
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA’s) work mainly as an exfoliants. They cause the cells of the epidermis to become “unglued” allowing the dead skin cells to slough off, making room for regrowth of new skin. AHA’s may even stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, and are reported to improve wrinkling, roughness, and mottled pigmentation of photodamaged skin after months of daily application.
Pomegranate Sterols- Pomegranate Sterols is high in antioxidants – Fight free radicals and promote skin regeneration. Rich in lipids – Help heal inflammation and reduce swelling.
Carrageenan-An all natural anti-wrinkle treatment, this gel-forming Polysaccharide found in red algae seaweed is also known as Irish Moss. Carrageenan is considered a naturally hydrating topical skin & hair food composed of a variety of nutrients like:
Sulphur- A natural component of various foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, dried beans, milk, eggs, tea, coffee, garlic, dried horsetail herb, chocolate, amino acids (L-methionine, L-cysteine, L-cystine & taurine), wheat germ & whole grains. Purported to promote hair growth & cell tissue regeneration. Necessary for the production of collagen and keratin – required protein for the health and maintenance of skin, nails and hair.
Potassium- Adds moisture and prevents dry skin. Carotene which converts into vitamin A, traps active oxygen molecules and prevents free radical damage.
Chlorophyll- A brilliant source of Vitamin K used in cosmetics to fade uneven, blotchy skin tones & discolouration.
Certified organic, 100% Australian with potent anti-oxidants, regenerative, revitalises the texture and appearance of the skin.

At our Chikii store we have some beautiful home fragrance products, diffusers,certified organic reed diffusers and certified organic essential oil blends. Enjoy this article from Tarj Mavi, the creator of the La Mav skincare range.
Many of us love to create fragrance within the home using candles, incense, plug-ins, sprays and diffusers, but did you know that you may be negatively affecting your health? Unless you are using pure essential oils to bless your space with delightful aromas, the synthetic ingredients used in conventional products can have harmful effects. I personally cannot tolerate artificial fragrance on a regular basis. The smell is too overpowering. I recently visited a family member who had one of those timer based spray units and was startled with a dousing of spray as I walked past. I truly felt like I’d been targeted like some bug! Studies show that synthetic fragrances can compromise our body’s natural rhythm and negatively affect our endocrine system upsetting our hormone balance. So what are our options? Well just take a walk outside right now, close your eyes and take note of all the amazing perfumes radiating from the blossoms in your garden. Nature provides an amazing array of exquisite perfumes at different times of the year. At the moment my house is surrounded by the heady blossoms of star jasmine which I know from memory is the start to the warmer weather. Essential oils are the extracts from plants, whether it be from the roots, bark, flowers or leaves. These precious oils are extracted using different types of methods and at the end of the process the precious oil is collected ready for use. Essential oils have a therapeutic affect on your mood. They can change the way you feel within three seconds. This is because these powerful oils stimulate the nerve receptors in your nose and access your limbic system. Our emotions, memory and trauma are all stored in the limbic system, when the oils reach our emotions, thoughts and memories are triggered and feel good hormones are released. For instance jasmine always reminds me of balmy summer evenings and as soon as I smell the blossom I am transported to those summer thoughts. Peppermint is another oil I like to burn if I need inspiration or want to boost my mood. I instantly feel revived and alive and ready for what the day may throw at me.
Try some of these mood blends to enhance your day: Morning Energiser- 4 drops Lemon oil,2 drops Peppermint oil and 2 drops Lemongrass oil. Love is in the Air – 4 drops patchouli oil,4 drops Ylang Ylang oil and 2 drops Sandlewood oil. Children Chillout Blend – 2 drops Cedarwood oil,2 drops Vetiver oil and 2 drops Lavender oil.

antarctic krill oil.
Have a look at the recent news report from A current affair, krill oil the new fish oil, on the latest benefits of taking a krill oil supplement.
Below is some more interesting information on Krill oil, we have sourced this information from Dr.Mercola’s health and wellness site, it also talks about the harvesting of krill and answers questions with concerns that whales are being threatened by krill oil harvesting.
“Why Antarctic Krill Oil?” by Dr. Mercola.
Freshly harvested from pristine and toxin-free Antarctic waters, Antarctic krill oil easily surpasses fish oil because of its rich omega-3 and antioxidant content. It’s purer, more bioavailable, and comes from the most plentiful biomass on earth!
Big things often come in small packages. In this case, big nutrition comes from the smallest of sources. Antarctic krill (scientific name Euphasia superba) are among the 85 known species of krill, a group of semi-transparent shrimp-like marine crustaceans. At first glance, you wouldn’t think that Antarctic krill, with their large black eyes and pinkish tinge, are anything special. But these tiny creatures, which are just a little bigger than a small paper clip, are essentially the fuel that powers the engine of the Antarctic ecosystem. Scientists estimate Antarctic krill numbers to range between 170 million to 7 billion tons. The total weight of all the krill in Antarctica is heavier than the total weight of the entire human population. This makes Antarctic krill one of the most abundant and successful animal species on Earth. Antarctic krill numbers are so massive that they can feed hundreds of different animals, from fish, to penguins, seals, and great blue whales. The world’s largest and longest living fish and mammals also feed on phytoplankton, including blue whales and many other whale species. These whales can live between 80 and 150 years old, maintaining their great strength and endurance throughout their lifespan.
Antarctic krill feed mostly on nutrient-dense phytoplankton. These microscopic organisms consist of a wide variety of natural plant-based nutrients found in the ocean. Phytoplankton form the very foundation of the marine food chain. The coastal ocean current of at the Antarctic brings great amounts of dissolved nutrients that fertilize phytoplankton. The 24-hour intense sunlight of the summer months also allow phytoplankton to produce more chlorophyll. Phytoplankton have the unique ability to transform inorganic minerals, water, natural warmth, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into bioavailable amino acids, carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins. Antarctic krill directly absorb these nutrients from minute phytoplankton cells. Antarctic krill have an amazing longevity of up to 10 years, because they hide in the depths of the ocean during the day to avoid predators, and feeds on phytoplankton at night. Having a nutritious food source in phytoplankton is one of the main reasons why Antarctic krill is a source of optimal nutrition for humans. The largest fish, the whale shark, feeds on phytoplankton. It lives for over 150 years, grows up to 12 meters long, weighs up to 15 tons, and is sexually active until it dies. Antarctic krill oil represents the richest, purest, and most powerful source of essential omega-3 fats.
I believe that Antarctic krill oil is your best option when it comes to getting high-quality; animal-based omega-3 fats because:
1. Antarctic krill oil is harvested from the pristine waters of Antarctica and is free from mercury, toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and other toxins. Fish stocks around the world have become so widely and thoroughly polluted to the point that it’s no longer safe to consume fish products, – perhaps not even fish oil, a good source of omega-3 fats. About 40 tons of mercury is released annually in the United States alone due to burning coal to produce electricity. Other common contaminants found in fish include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), radioactive substances like strontium, and toxic metals such as cadmium, lead, chromium, and arsenic. Farmed fish is not a healthier alternative. Studies show that even the least contaminated farmed salmon had higher contaminant levels – specifically dioxin and PCBs – than those caught in the wild. Conditions at fish farms are like conditions at factory farms everywhere: overcrowded, sickly, infected animals are being fed whatever it takes for them to grow as large as possible in as short a time as possible – and that includes faeces of chicken, duck, and pigs. Fish farming techniques are causing disease to be spread to wild fish, like infecting wild baby salmon with sea lice.
2.Antarctic krill oil synergistically combines antioxidants and omega-3 fats.Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid-type of antioxidant found in Antarctic krill that is believed to be 300 times more powerful than vitamins A and E, 47 times more powerful than lutein, and 34 times more powerful than CoQ10.* Antarctic krill contains a newly-discovered flavonoid with a novel molecular structure. Antarctic krill contains omega-3s in the form of phospholipids–liposomes or little packages that bring the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA fatty acids directly to your cells.* Fish oil and inferior krill oil do not contain this phospholipid complex. The predominant phospholipid in pure Antarctic krill oil is phosphatidyl choline, which is partially composed of choline, an essential nutrient important for brain development, learning, and memory.* Choline is the precursor for acetylcholine, which sends nerve signals to the brain, and for trimethylglycine, which helps protect your liver.*
3. Antarctic krill oil is better absorbed by your body than fish oil. Phospholipids form your cell membranes and are composed essentially of a fatty acid, a phosphate group, and an organic molecule. Both phospholipids and triglycerides, a type of fat found in your blood, act as omega-3 carriers. However, studies show that omega-3 fatty acids bound to phospholipids have greatly enhanced the bioavailability and stability of the omega-3s than fatty acids on triglyceride carriers. This makes omega-3 fats from Antarctic krill oil more readily available to important areas of your body, such as your brain.* You’ll also need far less Antarctic krill oil to experience the benefits of omega-3s when compared to fish oil, giving you more bang for your buck in the long run. Antarctic krill oil is more stable and more resistant to rancidity than fish oil. It does not need refrigeration and can last for two years at room temperature. And unlike fish oil, it won’t give you a fishy aftertaste or cause reflux/belching of fish flavours.
4. Antarctic krill oil is a renewable source of omega-3 fats. Krill harvesting is one of the most ecologically-friendly on the planet. Antarctic krill has now been harvested for 47 years, starting in 1961, with a historical peak harvest of just under 529,000 tons for the 1981/82 season. The mean annual catch rate from 2002 to 2007 was less than 120,000 tons a year. However, there have been a number of unfounded scare tactics stating that krill is an endangered species, and whales are being threatened by krill harvesting. These have come from sites that sell other sources of omega-3s. California was the first state to ban krill harvesting, but this has nothing to do with the global krill population. Commercial fisheries in California are using krill to feed their unhealthy salmon fish farms in Oregon and Washington, not for human consumption. Nearly all of human krill harvesting is done in the Antarctic. The Antarctic krill biomass is under the management of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), which is comprised of 25 countries. The CCAMLR is the ONLY official and reliable international organism involved in the management of sustainable krill fishery and the monitoring of krill stock. NO krill shortage has ever been forecasted by CCAMLR. Many studies show the biomass of Antarctic krill range from 170 million to 740 million tons, averaging around 420 million tons; a standing stock with an annual reproduction rate of several hundred million tons. This means that there is more than enough krill to continue supporting the marine ecosystem and human consumption.
