The solution to natural Enigmas

Organatural is a new company built around one woman’s drive for truth and transparency in the specification, design and manufacture of so-called natural cosmetics.

Barbara Olioso is a rarity in a marketing-led industry – a doctor of Industrial Chemistry with practical experience in formulating according to the Soil Association and Organic Food Federation beauty standards and a linguist with a full suite of skills and experience in the production of ethical products:

 

• purchasing 100% natural and/or organic raw materials, like essential and vegetable oils.
• formulating natural and organic skincare ranges from scratch.
• sourcing natural colorants and preservative-free systems.
• setting up and managing R&D facilities and projects.
• understanding national and international regulations governing the production and marketing of cosmetics.

 

Dr Barbara believes consumers are losing faith in conventional cosmetics because their chemical content has come under media scrutiny, triggered by the rising incidence of skin-disease.

She writes on the issues for consumers as well as peer professionals.

She provides an A-Z cosmetic consultancy, nationally and internationally.

She has launched her own range of cutting-edge, “organatural” products: Forest Secrets, Potent and Pure Skincare
