Hello there.

Hi.

The primary point of this blog:

Trying to wade my way through the jungle of ORGANIC SKINCARE and COSMETICS, misleading advertisement, enticing branding of mediocre products and generally stuff that just does not work. For me, that is. Because the very little I can say I have learned so far, is that anything you might slather on your skin or hair, will or will not work for you, and  might do exactly the opposite for the next person. But inspite of al that annoyingly vague subjectivism, I still like to think there are incredients and ready made products that work generally well on most people, at least will not harm you or the environment in the process. Although I have to confess that the "don't kick the bunny" qualities of the product come far after the "does this make my skin non-intchy and hair abundant mane of a goddess?"

I started my personal crusade about three years ago and went through a period of rather fanatic rumble through INCI lists and different types of organic (and very non-organic) products. To the point where my friends and family later admitted they were slightly worried. It is such a shame I didn't start blogging already then, beacause it would have been hilarious to read afterwards. Or probably more cringeworthy, so I guess that was a favour done in general.

The secondary point of the blog:

I have gone through quite a few bottles and jars during my journey with organic skincare products, also learned a few very simple things to make at home. The skincare for dummies kind. While doing all this, I tried to search information and user experiences of products before purchasing the stuff, but knowledge was a bit scarse. My aim is not to give "advice" or stars or tell anyone else what they should or shouldn't do. But perhaps all the mispurchases or occasional good experiences might help someone else to make educated guesses, while trying to figure out where to show their money.

What to expect:

• Poor grammar (I'm not a native speaker) 
• Poor jokes (the ones I got do not necessarily translate all that well)
• Poor photography (I have a proper camera, but am too lazy to operate it, so be prepared for mediocre mobile phone shots)
• Lists (I like lists)
• Occational rants (I like rants)

Oh, and as for the name of the blog, it's simple. Just read the small printed list on the side of any bottle, jar or tube, starting with the capital letters I, N, C and I. It's all there. I know it looks incomprehensible at first, but I can assure you, it will start to make sense. Just like the Matrix (insert age test here).

And lastly, a picture of random selection of things I use right now. Will probably go into more detail later, but in the meantime, behold my awesomely stripey Ikea carpet and some bottles & jars!
