QUEEN OF THE NIGHT - JASMINE

Jasmine Absolute is often referred to as Queen of the Night - perhaps due to the delicate flowers being harvested at dawn to protect the mystical heady aroma. The production process is intricate and time consuming and it takes in the order of 7 million jasmine flowers to create a kilo of the prized absolute of Jasmine.

Fragrance - the Real Deal

WHY ZING IS THE REAL DEAL   Most soy wax candles for sale today are marketed as clean burning and environmentally friendly - this is very often not the case - most are fragranced with cheaper 'fragrance oils' which are synthetic and are injurious to you and your families health - they also devastate our fragile eco system.   At Zing we used only 'pure essential oils' which are entirely nature sourced, to fragrance our products which we all handmade by us 100%.   Our customers have the added reassurance that we've had extensive independent purity testing conducted by the...

WATER WAY TO GO

It's our view at Zing that most cleansers and moisturisers can't provide effective Healing or Anti Ageing function. One reason for this is that most are water based. Check the ingredients on your product - if the first word is 'aqua' - the main ingredient is water. Water based creams, lotions and serums we feel don't work in harmony with the natural composition of the skin. We feel they slither around the top of the skin and have difficulty doing much more than providing superficial and temporary hydration. They also require a preservative which can easily cause dryness or irritation...
