Through word of mouth Chey Birch has revived the traditional beliefs, customs and stories passed through generations by naming her skin care products Black Chicken Remedies.
Folklore has it that an Old Crone by the name of Black Chicken weaved her magic by using essential oils, herbs and ointments to help heal afflictions (ailments) and troubles of those who sort her out whole heartedly.
During 1989 in Bondi Australia, Chey started a little white magic of her own by researching aromatherapy and experimenting with ingredients free from impurities.
Coming across all natural and organic skin care products is rare as hens teeth; so I was thrilled when in my quest to find the best non-toxic superfood for our skin, I found Black Chicken Remedies.
I purchased a “Travel Skin Care Kit and Starter Pack” which contained Cleanse My Face (5ml) in a dark glass bottle with glass dropper, Love Your Body Oil (5ml) in a dark glass bottle with glass dropper, Love Your Face Serum (5ml) in a dark glass bottle with glass dropper, Balm of Ages (15g) in tin and Axilla Deodorant Paste (15g) in tin and Complexion Polish (5g) in a dark glass bottle.

The deep drawing action of Castor Oil removes dirt and pollutants from the pores of the skin while the combination of the other oils in Cleanse My Face help to heal, nourish and soothe.

Love Your Body Oil

These blend of oils provide a treatment for dry skin. Each oil have there own healing properties to combat inflammation, encourage new cell growth, relieve itching and much more.
My mothers skin and mine felt so moisturised and nourished after massaging Love Your Body Oil to our cleansed skin.

Love Your Face Serum
Ingredients: Apricot Kernel oil*, Jojoba oil*, Evening Primrose oil*, Vitamin E oil, Argan oil*, Rosehip oil*, Neroli essential oil, Sandalwood essential oil, Palma Rosa essential oil*, Rose Maroc Absolute essential oil and Ylang Ylang essential oil.
*Certified Organic Ingredients
As we age our skins elasticity decreases, so it is good to know that Argan oil, Neroli essential oil and Rose Maroc Absolute essential oil help to improve the elasticity in the skin.
It is excellent too that Argan oil helps to tone the muscles in the face while the other oils help to repair the skin cells, hydrate, moisturise while Vitamin E oils powerful antioxidant properties fight free radicals which aid in delaying the ageing process of the skin.
My mother and I have different skin complexions. I have olive skin and my mothers skin is fair.
After cleansing our faces first with Black Chicken Remedies Cleanse My Face, we found that Love Your Face Serum worked a treat on both our skin.
This face serum is not watered down so it is extremely concentrated to greatly infiltrate the skin while keeping the skin well ‘fed’ all day.
It is hard to define the scent but it was pleasing to our senses.
Balm of Ages
Ingredients: Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Bees wax, Sea Buckthorn, Camellia Tea oil, Hemp seed oil, Vitamin E oil, Jojoba oil, Coconut oil, Calendula, Arnica, Lavender, Patchouli, Cajuput, Mandarin, Geranium, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang and Frankincense.
All ingredients are certified organic and are 100% natural.
This lip balm heals and soothes the lips. My mother and I are fond of this lip balm as our lips still felt well moisturised hours after the first application.
What is great about Balm of Ages lip balm is that it can be also used as a body balm and cuticle moisturiser.
Axilla Deodorant Paste
Ingredients: Shea Butter*, Coconut oil*, Camellia Tea oil*, Sodium Bicarbonate, Arrowroot, Kaolin Clay, Vitamin E, Vegetable Glycerin* and essential oils of Peppermint*, Cajaput*, Mandarin*, Clove, Rose Geranium, Lime*, Lavender* and Cedarwood*.
*Certified Organic Ingredients
Axilla is another name for armpit. This deodorant paste for under the arm is 100% natural and prevents odour without the use of harmful chemicals, including aluminium.
The use of Axilla Deodorant Paste will ensure that it does not block lymph nodes in the armpits as other deodorants do because they stop the natural process of sweating. We sweat for a reason; to rid our bodies of toxins.
Everyone’s olfactory (sense of smell) differs but I could detect a hint of clove in the aroma of Axilla Deodorant Paste.
My mother and I applied a teensy amount under each armpit and rubbed it in until it absorbed.
Make sure the fingers are clean before ‘dipping in’.
The scent of Axilla Deodorant Paste is unisex.
