What do we really need?

In this era, people are becoming more and more conscious of their appearance and having a higher and higher demand for skincare products. The market has subdivided people into many categories, dry skin, oily skin, seasonally sensitive skin …… and so on. For different groups of people, a variety of products are endless, each product seems to have its own special features, called people can not be cut off. But do we really need so many products? What do we really need? With such questions, we Al-mii turned pages and pages of human history, only to find a perfect answer.

The pursuit of health and beauty is human instinct

Human’s pursuit of health and beauty has been carried out from the moment of birth. The ancients discovered herbs, so people found health and comfort in the bosom of nature. With the development of civilization, people began to pursue a more efficient and convenient way of skin care, and traditional herbs were gradually replaced by modern chemical ingredients.

Rich lather and thoroughly Clean Skin? This is excessive Cleansing!

Sulphate has been used for years as a surfactant in personal care products. It is to help shampoo to strip oil and dirt away from the hair. Also, it produces a rich lather. After a shower, people feel that the body is thoroughly cleansed.

Because most people subconsciously harbour the idea that “the more bubbles, the cleaner it is” and “it’s best to not leave a trace of slipperiness”, for merchants, sulphate is a most cost-effective ingredient for a cleansing product.

Too clean? Not necessarily good! –Overlooked of sulphates

The rich lather and cleansing sensation that sulphates provide is often mistaken for an essential ingredient in cleansing products. However, this is not the case.

Sulphates can clean you well, but improper use of sulphates can “over-clean” your skin’s natural protective oils, causing unbalanced skin to produce more oil. Sulphate-containing shower gel tends to irritate sensitive skin, causing it to become dry, itchy and even red. In addition, sulphates can clog pores and cause acne, which in turn accelerates the aging process.

Effective cleansing that’s really needed! Cater to the body’s nature.

In contrast, sulphate-free shower gel is gentler and just as effective at removing impurities while retaining the skin’s natural oils to keep it moisturised and smooth. In addition, sulphate-free shower gel helps restore the skin’s pH balance, thereby maintaining the skin’s barrier function. Regardless of skin type, sulphate-free shower gel is suitable for enhancing the health of one’s skin, and even more so for sensitive skin! Of course, sulphate-free doesn’t mean no foam, and while it doesn’t foam as richly as sulphate-containing body washes, sulphate-free formulas produce a thick, creamy lather that pampers every inch of skin.

Combining traditional herbs for good luck

In order to combine traditional herbs with modern technology, Al-mii discovered Mugwort through research and coincidence. Mugwort itself possesses a variety of beneficial components that can effectively improve people’s health. Most importantly, mugwort has been regarded as a symbol of good luck since ancient times, and Al-mii believes that this effective plant with good luck is a gift from nature that should be widely recognized and used by the public.
