Harnessing the power of nature
Botanicals have long been used and recognized for their healing and medicinal properties since ancient times and across various cultures. They have a rich history of use in promoting holistic health and wellness.
At Generate Kind Co. we believe that nature has provided us with all that we need to nourish, restore and support our skin and bodies to thrive. We create natural botanical, plant-derived skincare which harnesses the power of nature. Bringing you harmonious skincare products that are not only the best choice for your skin, but also for your well-being and the environment.
We pride ourselves on using only natural, plant-derived and ECOcert approved ingredients.
Our ingredients such as our emulsifiers and thickeners contain natural ingredients, they are derived from plants and fruits rather than being the result of an artificial chemical reaction. Using plant derived ingredients such as our Olive derived emulsifier provides beneficial elements for the skin, such as hydrating and softening, while protecting against moisture loss. Vegetable derived Glycerin is a humectant, attracting water from the environment into the skin and keeping it there where it keeps the skin hydrated. Our stabilizing and thickening ingredients such as Cetyl Alcohol, which is not part of your typical alcohols like Ethanol. It is derived from vegetable oils, ours is from Coconut and certified sustainable Palm oil and Stearic Acid a which is Palm oil free and derived from Olive oil, both penetrate the skin, providing emollient, skin-softening properties.
Our Botanicals such as carrier oils, butters, extracts, actives, hydrosols and essential oils are concentrated nutrient rich ingredients. Extracted from plants and plant parts such as leaves, flowers, berries, seeds, nuts and kernels. Plants produce bioactive molecules, phytonutrients, vitamins, essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Which are incredibly healing and nourishing for the skin.
The fine structure of these plant ingredients allow them to be readily absorbed, helping to soften, protect and nourish the skin. We use organic (where possible) and unrefined oils and butter, ensuring a high quality, nutrient-rich, authentic-to-nature ingredient, which is true in its flavor and color and contains beneficial phytochemicals and vitamins.
Essential oils are potent compounds extracted from plants. They capture the essence of the plant such as its fragrance and flavour, and have many benefits for the skin such as being antiseptic, astringent or anti-inflammatory. The use of natural therapeutic essential oils also provides aromatherapy benefits, positively impacting mental health and well-being by influencing mood and brain function. The alternative, synthetic fragrances contain no benefits to the skin or holistic well-being and often contain harmful toxins and chemicals that may be endocrine disrupters, immune system suppressors, or carcinogens.
Using natural plant-derived, botanical skincare will not only benefit you and your skin, they are environmentally friendly. Many synthetic skincare product contain harsh chemicals which are also harsh on our environment and wildlife. Plant derived skincare uses natural ingredients that are biodegradable, and are produced sustainably. They do not leave chemical residue in the environment or cause soil or water pollution when washed off down the drain.
Plant derived, botanical skincare is much gentler on the skin. It is especially good for those with sensitive, reactive skin types as they are formulated free of allergenic substances and harsh ingredients, such as fragrances, synthetic preservatives, alcohol or harsh detergents. We aim to restore the skin barrier and soothe skin.
