SHHH... We're aging gracefully...
Depression, Anxiety, Breast Cancer, Prostrate Cancer... so many human and gender specific issues we've learned to talk about in recent years...but hot flushes, hormonal changes, loss of sex drive, incontinence.... ? Still a taboo?
It's a pity but true that society, struggling with the remnants of the traditional female role, continues to take for granted the feminine issues that are dealt with quietly, without complaint....women are meant to be ladies after all...
and therefore so many of us still wouldn't dream of talking about these issues openly.... or would we...?
We want women to know they are not alone....
As women our lives are busy and we wear many hats day to day, united through the diversity of female experience, coming together from various walks of life as a vibrant team of sisterhood we've put together Shhh... to let women know it is ok to take time out to look after themselves.
Made with love and care in small batches in the Garden of England, we carefully blend our essential oils with magnesium to maximize their therapeutic qualities, we want to enhance well-being, mood, feelings and emotions.
We are going back to nature, working with ingredients and essential oils that have been used for centuries.

AMANDA SHAYLE
MPCH MAcS CertNatSci (open) Clinical Practitioner, Acupuncturist, Puriskin Brand Ambassador.
'Self help really gives women a sense of control and it all begins with sleep! Magnesium is an important element for health and the immune system – plus it’s strongly associated with helping to improve sleep!
As skin can absorb this via topical application or in the bath, I am delighted to add the Shhhh... range of products to my therapy portfolio for my personal benefit an most importantly that of my patients.

As a woman of a ‘certain age’, Amanda has experienced herself how changes, as we age, affect all aspects of our lives.

JANE McCOURT
Wellness Advocate, Clean Living Life-Expert, Breast Cancer Survivor

PAULETTE PHILPOTT
Administrator, Business Trouble shooter
'Being a great believer in natural remedies and the benefits from essential oils, I am very excited to be part of a team who have developed an amazing range, Shhhh…, for menopausal women.
I truly feel that once this becomes part of a daily routine women will feel and see the benefits.'
When Paulette was in her mid 40’s she started going through the menopause. Because the subject was ‘taboo’ she couldn’t discuss it with anyone. Unable to sleep, putting on loads of weight depression started to set in.
Eventually having plucked up the courage to go and see a female doctor Paulette was told she was going through her menopause.
'...Not having anyone to talk to was a really frightening time. I felt ugly, fat, confused, I was having hot flushes, the most terrible mood swings and my concentration levels were awful probably due to my lack of sleep....'
Paulette's issues compounded with her skin losing its elasticity and starting to become very dry, despite trying every type of body lotion on the shelves.
Now on the other side, and understanding that every woman's experiene of menopause will be unique and personal, but still significant Paulette has been motivated to help promote menopausal wellbeing for every woman who is and will be going through this change.
'... I know not everybody is the same but having been through the change I am delighted that I can share my experience and be part of a team with genuine self-care solutions that can help with this.'
EMMA BULL
Formulator and Woman’s health Advocate
'When the taboo subject arose about menopause, I was so excited to be involved in Shhhh…., not only formulating the products but making them too.
Having many friends going through this and me not being too far behind them to go through the process, I know anything to make the struggles easier and more understood would be of benefit to all women.'
Mum to 3 girls, with a busy home life and work schedule Emma personifies the modern woman dealing with the stresses of everyday personal and professional life having to juggle many balls.
Developing in her capacity of formulating and expanding in the last two years to the use of essential oils in skincare and receiving first hand customer feedback of the beneficial effects both on skin concerns and mood-balancing continues to spur Emma's motivation to support women and partcularly those at such a crucial stage of life.
' Our aim is to develop products that benefit women at each stage perimenopause, menopause and post menopause and build a resource that will help to understand that they are not alone in going through the changes to their bodies.'
MARVA WILLIAMS
Formulator
'For me, formulating naturally and educating about ingredients go hand-in-hand.
The need for a range like Shhh... has been a long time coming and it is such a joy to bring these formulations to market to support the mission of not only improving women's wellness but enhancing the longevity of our community of growth, enabling us to acheive more of our goals without the constraints of female silence expected of us for so long even in recent modern times....'
Embodying the multi-faceted scope of modern female interest, Marva's career began in the telecommunications business which became very successful from the start, and had formed two telecommunications companies by her late 20s... but her deep desire was to excel in the field of her passion - natural skin care.
Active in this passion for over a decade, Marva's increasing focus has been holistic formulation along with lecturing and supporting training courses around the UK, in regards to pre-operative and post-operative skincare solutions for patients and specializing in products for people who have traumatized skin (eczema, burns and those going through Chemo and Radio Therapy) and training Doctors, Cosmetic Surgeons and Medical Practitioners, as well as specialising in self-care and wellbeing products for specific issues and women's concerns with the support of recognised holistic experts in the fields of eastern and western medicinal practice.
Pioneering and specializing in botanical solutions which deliver what they promise to do, with formulations that penetrate rapidly Marva's mission has been one of simplifying and raising the efficacy of self-care through skincare by providing truly long-lasting moisture and care without feeling heavy on the skin or leaving behind any greasy film.
Shhh... is the next chapter on this journey to help eliminate the vestiges of discomfort and embarrasment that surround the topic of female change and to actively provide tangible help for improved wellness.
