"The Natural Truth"


Having battled with sensitive skin my entire life, including a severe case of ecxema, I struggled to find a product that would work for my skin type. After spending a fortune at high end retailers on supposedly "quality products" and not getting any results, I began doing my own research. What I found is that most of these well known companies who claim their products are "natural" are using synthetic fragrances and caustic ingredients, not to mention some of the cheapest oils on the marketplace like rice bran oil and soybean oil.

A lot of these companies make body butters and cremes using coconut oil and cocoa butter as the base ingredient, both can cause irritation to sensitive skin and be drying if used in large amounts.

Many Companies claim that their products are made with "natural botanicals" but are actually filled with caustic fragrances and ingredients like SODIUM LAUREL SULFATE or(SLS). SLS is derived from the coconut, but is a highly toxic cleansing and foaming agent (shower gels, toothpaste, soaps, etc.) Since SLS is rinsed off the skin, it doesn't pose as high of a risk as if it were left on your skin for 30 minutes. However, those with sensitive skin are adversely harmed by these minimal levels of SLS usually resulting in a rash or dry skin. This was a shock to me and as a result I feel the need to educate others so that they too can take better care of their skin. I spent the last 8 years developing Minka bodycare a 100% natural product that is good for your mind, body and spirit! Minka body care was developed for the consumer that has sensitive skin or just wants an all natural quality product that they can share with friends and family. My focus is to offer a choice product made with the purest ingredients available on the marketplace, pure organic essential oils, quality herbs and extracts as well as healing and moisturizing plant derived oils. Because Minka body care has no fillers or preservatives, a little goes a long way. Use sparingly and enjoy the benefits of Minka Body care!

Testimonials:

"A few weeks ago I bought a beautiful jar of your lime frankincense shea body butter. So..I am now addicted! I always have horribly dry hands in the winter..and the lotion has been saving me this year. You should hear my friends and family comment on how much better they look and feel.
I'm writing to see where I can find more!
Thank you for your dedication to creating great products. I loved that when I asked you about the lotion you described it in such precious detail and told me why shea butter is better for all parts of you than other lotions we see around all the time.
Thanks!"
