Do you get some great ideas in the middle of the night, and then wake up in the morning not quite remembering the details??  One night, Anastasia Lambadaridis, founder of Save Our Skin had an epiphany of sorts, and when she awoke she put her skincare range into action!  Save Our Skin comprises only three products – oil soap & balm – which have been formulated from only 5 organic ingredients: olive oil, beeswax, calendula flower, mandarin and honey.  Although a small range, each product is intentionally multifunctional – so much so that you could clear out your bathroom cabinet ….

Anastasia participated in our Seven Statements interview, and shared the following with us:

1. I started my business because…I had a dream, that turned into a vision and the more I ignored it the stronger the desire grew to make it happen.

2. I admire… my son for his honesty and humour – he brings out the best in me and makes us laugh.

3. My style is… practical, eclectic, elegant, clean and fun. I like mixing old with new, cold with warm and this is reflected in save our skins’ branding. We use industrial and recyclable brushed aluminium packaging that is offset with warm untreated wood in store display stands, the bright blue labels mirror the bluest of blue skies.

4. My favourite annual event is… seeing my sons face light up on christmas morning tops the list. Christmas is fun in our home. Last year Santa’s reindeers ate all the carrots and made such a mess in our lounge room… New Years day is also a favourite of mine – time to reflect on the past and look forward to the future.

5. My easy ecoliving tip is… if you don’t use it…pass it on to someone who will – as less equals more.

6. When I was a kid I loved… dancing – still do!

7. In the next year I hope to … enjoy time with my little boy before he starts school & master cooking greek style.  My yiayia (greek for Grandmother) is 82, we share the same name and passion for home grown herbs, vegies and cooked meals. I also hope to widen distribution of save our skin products and develop and introduce range extensions and possibly two more brands.

 Thanks Anastasia – Much appreciated!
