My first ever lipstick was 72% pure Dark Chocolate.
At the tender age of 8, I used my pocket money to buy chocolate - not just any old chocolate it had to be plain dark chocolate - the best that my meagre allowance could buy.
To this day I still use dark chocolate in my cosmetics. It's still difficult to find natural face powders that match my skin tone, won't make me break out in acne spots, or look "off colour" around the jaw line. So I make it myself!
Unbeknown to me - the mixtress was born! However, it took a couple of decades before I realised it...
Anita Grant was created on the 5th of December 2005, by the all round self-proclaimed-cosmetic-label -reader-ingredient junkie-mixtress, me, Anita!
It wasn't until I blistered my hands using a store bought bottle of so called "safe synthetics" that I decided never to purchase another off the shelf product again.
Since 2003, I have been making my own brand of lotions & potions, working with my chemist/toxicologist & fair trade suppliers from around the world. Rather than fill my creations with chemical brews I work closely with Mama Nature utilising only those quality ingredients that yield superior benefits for your RDA (recommended daily application) for example:
Rhassoul Deep Condish Block..
Suitable for all hair types regardless of ethnicity, hair texture and/or colour. It will leave your tresses feeling soft, light, & smelling like sweet Cocoa Butter...YUM!!!Rhassoul Heart
& Rhassoul Deep Condish Cubes
You shouldn't need a degree in chemistry to understand a commercial product's ingredient label.
It's so liberating to be able to read the label of a product, understand the ingredients contained within and say 'NATURALLY, I can do better.'

Mixing my own brand of wholesome skin & hair care is exactly the same as creating a jaw dropping yummy feast of hand crafted delicacies. WHY? ... because I use recipes - not formulas, all of my Goodies are made to order and individually packaged to ensure freshness - not pre-packed & left on the shelf waiting for condensation... that's why..
Anita Grant is a family owned business providing deep condish treats, hair butters, pure fruit body oils & the power of moisture direct to your door!
