The Beauty Shortlist Mama & Baby Awards 2022: Editors Choice winners

“Virtually everything a new mum and her baby would need will be on the new winners list, making it easy for parents to choose gentler plant-powered heroes that are kind to babies and our planet.” –  Fiona Klonarides Founder of The Beauty Shortlist Award

Nestled in Century City, Cape Town with one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature (Table Mountain) as its backdrop lies Aurora Natural Skincare. Taking its cue from the region’s biodiverse Cape Floral Kingdom while unlocking the power of African plants, certified organic ingredients are sustainably sourced to create award-winning skincare.

Formulated to support Climate Action, Aurora Natural Skincare is waterless skincare that is kind and loving to our skin and planet.

In support of local farmers who ethically and sustainably harvest natural ingredients seasonally and help uplift their communities such as Wild Harvested Rosehip Oil from the Lesotho Highlands.  Including Wild harvested Kalahari Melon Oil, an extremely sustainable ingredient. It has minimal impact on our environment as it is drought-resistant and relies on natural rainfall to grow. Kalahari Melon Oil is sustainably harvested from a local farm that employs a community of women to harvest the seeds.

Aurora Natural Skincare range is oil-based and Preservative free. With transparent ingredient lists. It ‘contains NO parabens, SLS, petrochemicals, preservatives, artificial fragrances or other chemicals‘.

You may wonder why this is not mentioned in Aurora’s online store.

Preservatives are mandatory in water-based products. A Paraben is a preservative. According to EU Cosmetic Regulations which SA Cosmetics aligns with, you cannot claim ‘Free from’ + ingredient if the ingredient is not supposed to be present in the product.

Aurora Natural Skincare is also free from from Phthalates, and Silicones.

Which explains why you also don’t find Aurora products claiming to be free of these ingredients. There is no need to. What you see is what you get.

Check out Aurora’s Intstagram post that explains this in further detail.

Hope this puts your mind at ease.
