BB, CC, and DD Creams Are Not Bra Sizes!

So just what is a BB, CC, or DD cream anyway? What’s the difference among them and can any of them, regardless of their initials, have benefit for skin? Cosmetics Cop Paula Begoun and the Paula’s Choice Research Team reveal the truth (and a little history) behind this latest makeup craze!

Herbal Hair Dyes

There have been many scary stories of late around the dangers of permanent hair dye, and allergic reactions seem to have become more common. Consumers are starting to ask more questions about the ingredients in hair dyes, as well as those in beauty products in general.

What is apparent is that most permanent hair dyes that hairdressers use as well as permanent home hair dyes contain high levels of chemicals like ammonia, paraben, resorcinol, hydrogen peroxide and phenylenediamine (PPD).

PPDs, in particular, have attracted a lot of bad press. But what is PPD and can you achieve the results you are looking for by using a product without PPD or with far lower levels?

In short, PPD are the color pigments used to alter your hair’s natural shade, a necessary ingredient in permanent hair dyes that do not wash out. Current European legislation allows for PPDs to make up 6% of the ingredients of hair dyes. However, with research pointing to its harmful effects, you’ll want to go for products that use the least amount possible.

Hydrogen Peroxide, contrary to public knowledge, is not considered a health risk in low quantities. There are a small number of people who may be allergic, but in general the most significant side effect is damaging your hair.

Ammonia is in fact more of a serious culprit with regard to health and allergic reactions. Its function is to penetrate the hair with color.

So what’s a gal to do who wants to experiment with hair colour while still using products that are friendly to her body?

The good news is that there are more natural permanent hair dyes available on the market that do the job just as well, if not better, than conventional hair dyes.

The world’s market leader in herbal hair dyes, Herbatint has been available in South Africa for seven years and has proven itself to offer more conditioning, lasting color. Herbatint contains no Ammonia, Paraben or Resorcinol as well as the lowest possible levels of PPD and Peroxide. The dye is a dream to use without the “customary” burning sensation during the dyeing process or the awful smell. And, hair is quite simply left in far better condition.

The Big Banquet in a Little Jar™

What’s the story behind Pesto Princess?

About 14 years ago, Kathleen Quillinan – an opera singer at the time – began selling fresh sauces made in her home kitchen, as a creative way to fund her singing career.  

Pesto was quite new to South African palates back then, and people were thrilled to discover the fresh flavour, revealing to Kathleen that it was possible to create a business with pesto as the signature product.

And so it came to be that she laid her singing career to rest and began a new adventure, with plenty of its own theatricality!

With the support of loyal fans over the last 14 years, Pesto Princess has weathered the challenging journey from market to supermarket, and today continues to nourish, comfort and delight people through food.

Where did the quirky name come from?

At a market in the early days, someone asked Kathleen what her company’s name was.  The truth of the matter was, it did not even have a name.  Being a performer, Kathleen was used to improvising, and offered the first name that came into her head: Pesto Princess. 

What flavours of pesto do you offer?
