The Beginning
Hi, I am Carine or CC, the creator of BlissOut by CC Handcrafted Artisan Skincare.
I am passionate about the welfare of all sentient beings and believe that nature has provided us with plants that can be used to support and heal various skin conditions, such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosea, without the need for animal ingredients or cruel testing methods.
My passion is to help women (and men) invest in a simple skincare routine that is no fuss, has no added nasties, is plant-based, cruelty-free, and feels amazing on the skin with changes that can be seen within days of use.
Growing up in Belgium, I suffered from food allergies, resulting in living with various skin conditions, such as eczema. This struggle led my mother to explore solutions, looking towards nature vs chemical-laden products, with the natural options giving positive results.
Over the decades, I have received oil massages across the globe, experienced many facial treatments, attended aromatherapy classes, and spent hours learning, researching and developing my passion for oils and essential oils. This journey of discovery led to learning about the many uses and benefits, not just to heal skin on the outside but also the effects it can have on the mental and emotional plane on the inside.
I became a self-taught skincare creator and have a passion I want to share by showing how easy it is to have only a few products that work with others.
During various lockdowns in Victoria in 2020, I explored the idea of creating a skincare label after extensively researching which ingredients would be suitable for different skin conditions while minimising reactions. From there, I worked on crafting and formulating the products and developing the brand. As a result, the Lavender & Peppermint range was created, consisting of four product options: a coffee scrub, body moisturising oil, face serum, and sun care lotion. A year later, the second range was added, Lavender and Geranium.
My skincare brand stands out from others in the marketplace, offering customers creations made up of one of four base oils - olive, sweet almond, macadamia or hemp - to which the additional ingredients have been added. This unique feature enables customers to tailor their skincare needs to suit their skin type and preferences.
I love interacting with customers at events and markets. by listening to their needs and offering lifestyle tips in addition to the products that help create youthful and healthy glowing skin. At some of the events, I enjoy holding workshops by teaching others simple methods of self-creating products.
