Feeling good in your own skin
We all know someone with sensitive skin but
it’s not easy to find the product that not only
works but is also completely natural, crueltyfree
- and smells great. This is where Sootheme,
holistic skincare based in Bow, comes
in. Suzie Hacker, a certified aromatherapist,
founded Soothe-me after first developing an
aromatherapy body oil to ease anxiety and her
dry sensitive skin and then a face cream for
her mum’s Rosacea. “I know what it feels like
to live inside unhappy skin, having suffered
from both eczema and acne, I began Sootheme
as a natural alternative to mass-produced,
synthetic skincare which caused my skin
allergies.
As demand from friends and family grew,
I developed more products - we now offer
around 30 and I am proud to say 4 of them
have received awards!’ Soothe-me products
are hand-made in small batches using
only natural & vegan ingredients, featuring
signature essential oil blends and herbal
tinctures. Like health-food for your skin as
they’re rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants
- and kind to the planet as they
are toxic free and packed in eco-conscious
packaging. With as many ingredients
as possible sourced from UK
suppliers, Soothe-me products
are great for you and as green as
possible.
As an aromatherapist, Suzie understands
how important it is for her products to smell
fantastic. ‘I wanted to create a range with
memorable scents, using aromatherapy to
evoke good feelings, ease anxiety, uplift or
calm. Customers now know and buy them
because they love the smell.’ The range is
impressive – from the aptly named ‘Gorgeous
cream’ with Rose and Frankincense to
hydrating hydrosol mists and purifying clays
for facemasks. Following her pregnancy and
the birth of her son, Suzie developed a range
for pregnancy and babies, including ‘Dry Skin
Fix’ cream for eczema, award-winning ‘Super
Baby Oil’ and ‘Bumps & boobs’ pregnancysafe
oil.
New for 2018 is their ‘Earth Kind Glitter’ range
in 5 sparkling shades this guilt free glitter is
100% biodegradable, great for festivals and
parties.
Suzie also runs natural skincare workshops
locally where you can learn to make your own
simple skincare.
