Eminence Beauty Products

I had a gorgeous facial in Fremantle using Eminence products. It's all natural and made in Hungary, all ingredients are grown in their organic farms so there is 100% no testing on animals and they use sustainable farming. Unfortunately there are a few products that contain either beeswax, milk or honey. I've made a list of the non-vegans ones at the bottom.

During my treatment they used;

Bright Skin Cleaners
