Au Tsing Mei, Founder of Shiny Forest
How many people actually do not know what the ingredients of the cleansing and skin care products are? These years, more and more products claim that they were made by natural and harmless ingredients. As a consumer, we can only listen to salesperson about the introduction of products briefly. However, there are several false descriptions have been revealed which they all some from well-known brand and factory. Au Tsing Mei, starts “Shiny Forest” which is a hand-made soap company, manufactures those products in natural-oriented.
Skin disease is hard to be cured fundamentally. Steroid is the most common medicine to control the situation of skin disease, but we all know that is harmful to human body. Tsing Mei knows some natural ingredients like herb and flower can soothe it, so she tries to make soap with those materials. With many supports from her family and friends, she starts up her own shop to sell the hand-made soap, also teaches the public to make their soap in workshop. Instead of soothing skin disease, natural-oriented hand-made soap takes the advantage of saponification, can reduce the damages to the environment as well. On one hand, hand-made soap with natural ingredients can reduce the use of chemicals which is more environmental-friendly. On the other hand, hand-made soap usually would not contain over packages like the liquid soap which can reduce the use of plastic.
Rather than promoting the products from their company, Tsing Mei promotes the idea of using natural materials on Facebook page more. She keeps encouraging people to use natural products by sharing the related information and benefits. Although it seems like a small step on living in a more environmental-friendly life style, it makes a great change. Tsing Mei is using her way to make a difference, how about you?
