About Amaranthine

100% Natural Handcrafted Skincare

Amaranthine Description

Amaranthine is the result of my experience, knowledge and passion for natural skincare and beauty. I truly believe that natural skin care products are a safer and more effective alternative to commercial skin care products that contain many synthetic ingredients and cheap fillers. Everything for healthy and beautiful skin can be obtained from nature!

With my love of all things natural, I have used my knowledge as a qualified beauty therapist and nurse, along with training in clinical aromatherapy, to create a range of 100% natural skin care products that are both luxurious and effective.

We only use natural, unrefined ingredients and use many organic sources. Every ingredient is chosen for their specific properties - Amaranthine creations are concentrated blends that are naturally packed with active nutrients.

Sustainability and eco-consciousness are important to us. We source ingredients mindfully. Our Fair Trade organic Shea Butter, for example, is bought from a supplier who owns a cooperative in Ghana. This cooperative helps local women gain employment and receive a fair wage. Many of the ingredients are Fair Trade. We use glass and PET plastic packaging that can be recycled or reused.

Amaranthine products are handmade in small batches, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Small batches ensure that your products are always fresh and of exceptional quality.

Enjoy!

Sarah Rueger
Amaranthine founder.

Why are Amaranthine products are packaged in cobalt blue containers?
Using coloured glass instead of clear glass helps protect the precious contents from UV sunlight deterioration. This means the product will have a longer shelf life and the ingredients will stay fresh and active for longer.
Another reason is that we are a Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 company and we think blue looks pretty smart 😍

💖Skincare tip!
What’s the cheapest and most effective way to tackle cellulite?
Forget the fancy anti-cellulite creams - get yourself a body brush and dry body brush daily to prevent cellulite! Dry body brushing improves lymph flow and helps the skin get rid of toxins and is THE NUMBER 1 best thing you can do to prevent and tackle cellulite.

5 Benefits to Hot Cloth Cleansing
1 ) The ritual of Hot Cloth Cleansing is a self-pampering session. It’s ‘time out’ from your busy schedule to indulge in some me-time, to be mindful and to relax for a few minutes! 💆‍♀️ ~ 2 ) Hot Cloth Cleansing Balms cleanse your skin without stripping away your skins natural oils = clean skin that doesn’t feel tight and dry afterwards. ... ~ 3 ) The heat from the cloth opens up your pores - making it much easier to get a really deep cleanse. ~ 4 ) The nourishing ingredients feed your skin with vitamins and omega fatty acids, leaving it feeling soft and looking radiant. ~ 5 ) Using a face cloth that you can wash and use over and over again is more eco-friendly than using tons of cotton wool pads every day 🙌 ~ Our Cleansing Balm is hand-blended, 100% natural and certified Palm Oil Free.

Should you still be using a face oil in the summer☀️???
Definitely!!!
A face oil should be a part of your skin care routine all year round. Plant oils will help keep your skin hydrated and moisturised at the end of a long hot summer day and the antioxidants will help protect against free radical damage from the sun.
... Adding a lightweight face oil to you skin will not make your skin more oily, it can actually help balance your skin’s oil production!

So what is the Palm Oil issue? 🤔
Palm oil is the most widely used oil in the world. It is used extensively in the food and cosmetic/skincare industry.
One of the biggest threats to the survival of the orangutan is loss of habitat due to their home, our precious rainforests, being destroyed at an alarming rate for lucrative palm oil plantations 🌴😠
Indonesia is the largest producer of palm oil in world and the industry now takes up over eight million hectares of land in Indonesia, expected to reach 13 million by 2020 😱
Unfortunately there are 100’s of alternate names for palm oil plus many palm oil derivatives - making it very difficult to avoid it.
Read about different aspects of Palm oil here http://www.withcompassion.com.au/the-palm -oil-issue
About the Palm Oil Free Certification Trademark Program 👇 POFCAP are a non-profit organisation with a team of 11 volunteers who have lent their own funds to lodge the trademark in 18 countries. They all have day jobs and families and contribute 250 to 300 hrs a week collectively to develop and manage this certification programme. They started this to aid consumers and to to be able to bring in funds to give to the organisations on the ground working hard to protect rainforests 👏 Please show your support for them and their partner organisations.

Why should we use oil based cleansers? 🤷🏼‍♀️
As strange as it may sound, oils are amazing skin cleansers! They cleanse your skin without stripping your skin of its natural oils. Your skin needs some natural oil so if you use a cleanser designed to ‘strip’ all traces of oil away your skin will simply go into overdrive and produce more oil 🤦‍♀️ which can lead to blocked pores and congested skin.
Oils work really well as cleansers because of the principle ‘like dissolves like’ ...- ie the best thing to dissolve oil and dirt and draw it from your skin and pores is.... oil! 🤷🏼‍♀️ And.... you are then replenishing it with clean, nourishing oils that are beneficial for your skin 😍
Our brand new cleansing balm is a blend of gentle botanical oils and skin softening mango butter which leaves you with beautifully soft clean skin without any harsh chemicals. Click on ‘shop now’ above to go to our page and learn more.

What’s so special about PAPAYA SEED OIL??
We use this fantastic ingredient in our Cleansing Balm. Papaya seed oil contains the fruit enzyme Papain which is a natural exfoliator - it helps to break down and loosen dead skin cells and also draws dirt from your pores. 🌟This helps to cleanse and brighten the skin and keep it looking lovely and fresh.
Papaya seed oil is great for oily skin prone to acne 🙌 as Papain helps stops dead skin cells blocking pores which can contribute to... acne. It also helps to reduce scarring.

😃 definitely recommend the face-mask products, they made my skin glowing and smell great too. A lot of work and research has gone into the ingredients and Sarah is always on hand for further advice

User

Very happy with the facial oil and body cream! My young children, especially 4 years old loves the body cream, he apples a generous amount of the cream all over his body when he feels itchy. :) I used to spend serious amount of money on skincare shopping at department stores and organic bio shops, these products are equally good for me, even better as I know someone I can trust creates these and shopping locally.

User

The facial oil is amazing- My skin feels so much healthier and softer after only a week and the smell is divine right before bed.

Would definitely recommend :)

User

I've been using the facial oil for over a month now and I just love it! My skin felt tired, blotchy and old and I wasn't taking care of it after having two babies in two years. The oil smells divine, makes my skin feel moisturised and soft, and my skin looks so much better! I'm so impressed to see such a difference in a short time!

Thank you so much for creating this amazing product!! � xx

User

I've been trying out the masks recently and they're an absolute game changer! I have combination skin so the detox one cleared up my blackheads and oily t-zone after only one use and the nourishing one helped calm my redness and dry cheeks. Used the facial oil for some time now and it's also working wonders. They all smell delicious too. I'm pretty much in love � with this brand now! Goodbye awful skin problems!

User

I'm using the lip balm and I love it.

I love the smell of the peppermint. and how it feels on my lips. My lips are now where near as dry as before since I started using this.

User

I'm absolutely loving the facial oil, when I first started using it I just used it only at night as I thought it might be too oily for during the day however having received advice from the lovely creator of the product I realised all I need is 2-3 drops and now I use it day and night in place of moisturiser. My skin feels really soft and it absorbs quickly without any shine or residue. I've found it really handy to pack for travelling too as it comes in a nice small bottle but still lasts a long time.

I'm looking forward to using the midge balm also. I found out about it too late for this years midge battle in the outdoors but it smells amazing and feels really nice on the skin which is a rare find for any repellant!

Thanks Amaranthine, keep the wonderful products coming!!!x

User

I started using the Amaranthine facial serum awhile ago and I am totally in love with it. The results were quick to notice - softer, lighter, less stressed looking skin. The smell is lovely (not too intense) and adds towards the feeling that I've just treated my skin. I intend to keep my cupboard stocked! Thanks Sarah!

User

I recently bought Amaranthine serum from Sarah Reuger,s market stall at Morningside in Edinburgh . I've been using it now for 4 weeks and I see , and feel , a marked improvement on my face . I have rosecea and the redness seems to be less . I would reccomened this product and I will use it again . Thankyou Sarah.

User

I must say the lip balm is amazing and has the most to die for smell, my lips were dry but this balm makes my lips feels so soft. I am so confident in this product that I have bought my friend one, fantastic Sarah and thank you xx

User

I have to say I really love these products. I was luck enough to win a bottle of their face oil and it was lovely. It feels great on my skin and the smells divine. So I decided to treat myself to the body butter and I was not disappointed. It feels wonderful and yet again the smell is amazing. These have quickly become my favourite beauty products. So, Thank You for putting in so much time, effort and love to give us products we can enjoy.

User

I have suffered for years with really red, spotty and dry skin. I saw someone recommend the facial oil but I messaged Sarah (who creates the product) to check it would work for me. She couldn’t have been more helpful. I sent her some pictures of my skin and she recommended the soothing face mask and the facial oil. I use the face mask once a week and then the oil morning and night instead of a moisturiser. I can’t explain the difference this has made to my skin. The redness has dramatically reduced and my skin is no longer dry/flaky. I feel so much more confident. Would HIGHLY recommend these products!

User

I have been using these products for a while now and I love them!! The facial oil and body butter smell so delicious and leave your skin feeling soft,moisturised and rejuvenated.They are my no.1 favourite skin care products and once you use them you will not go back!Awesome!

User

I have been using the facial oil for a few weeks now. Love the smell, and my face feels soft and hydrated in the morning. Enjoying having a product that I know has no added nasties in it. Great value​ too - can't believe a few little drops goes so far. The bottle will last for months. Have bought several as birthday gifts, well received! Highly recommended.

User

I decided to try the face oil after a recommendation on instagram. I have been suffering with breakouts on my neck and jawline and the state of my skin was really getting me down. I’ve been using the oil every night for a week and I can’t believe how much better my skin looks. I will definitely be buying a big bottle �

User

I bought the Detox Face Mask from Sarah's stall at Leith market. The mask comes in powder form to be mixed with a little warm water when using, Sarah explained that this means the product doesn't have any preservatives in it. The mask smells beautiful and is really cooling on the skin. Best face mask I've come across. Looking forward to trying the other products. Highly recommended.

User

I am so pleased with my oil.....I put mine on at night and after 3 weeks my skin feels and looks smoother. I especially love it on my neck...I am 38 and this is giving me results I didn't think were possible. So glad I went to Leith Market and purchased this. Thank you to the lovely lady who makes this.

User

I am overjoyed with my facial oil! Have only been using it a week and can't believe the difference it has made to my dry ,Winter skin.

People have commented on how my skin is glowing and someone actually said I was looking years younger! The oil also smells amazing which is an added bonus. Will definitely be adding another bottle of this awesome product to my Christmas list.
