Family owned and operated Tasmanian farm, Grandvewe, recently launched Ewe Care, Australia’s first-ever sustainable skincare brand formulated with sheep milk and native Tasmanian botanicals.
Re-purposing Awassi sheep milk not suitable for cheese making, Ewe Care’s natural range of day and night creams is the first of its kind in the natural skincare category and provides a functional and sustainable solution to waste management on the farm.
“Ewe Care addresses a significant gap in the Australian skincare market,” says Nicole Gilliver, co-founder and executive director of Ewe Care.
“It gives life to unwanted ingredients and materials that would otherwise be discarded and allows us to turn the cost of waste into a progressive, profitable and marketable product.”
Housed in environmentally-friendly and locally crafted ceramic vessels, the sheep milk formulation is rich in vitamins A, B, C, D and E including a host of minerals, proteins, fats and acids, and serves as an effective topical treatment against ageing, dehydrated and compromised skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.
As the only milk source on the planet to contain naturally occurring levels of vitamin C as well as anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, sheep milk has also been found to reverse moisture loss, improve collagen production, combat acne-causing bacteria, protect skin from UV-induced free radicals and reduce redness.
Committed to preserving the environment and minimising single-use plastic waste, Ewe Care is also the first skincare brand in Australia to implement 100 per cent home compostable packaging across its entire range and utilise components made strictly from organic compounds that degrade naturally and safely in the environment.
“Our innovative and sustainable packaging is intrinsically tied to Ewe Care’s core values. Customers can adopt the farm’s ethos and repurpose elements of the packaging into application sponges or a keepsake box.”
Combining native botanicals local to Tasmania such as Cape Grim Water, Fucoidan Kelp Extract, Coastal Tea Tree Oil and Tasmanian Mountain Pepperberry, Ewe Care is a proud advocate for Earth’s natural resources and respecting the land from which they operate.
Available nationwide, Ewe Care day and night creams are a great gift for Valentine’s Day and can be purchased in refillable 60ml sachets or together with the ceramic vessel to protect ingredients from light and oxygen degradation.
