I was invited to join the Blush Pretty Team and meet the founder and creator of the Canadian-based brand Graydon Clinical Luxtury by Nature, Graydon Moffat. We all had a chance to meet with her in small, intimate groups and got to ask her anything we wanted. What inspired her to start her own skincare line, what is her best seller, and how she came into developing and creating skincare. Graydon shared her personal stories with us - some nerve wrecking and some inspiring, and through my blog post I will share some of everything with you.
featured here is the whole range of products she offers.
Graydon sources bioavailable Canadian grown ingredients, organic whenever possible and whole heartedly believes in "feeding your skin". She stays away from fillers, petrochemicals, toxic chemicals, artificial fragrances or colors. Graydon even uses certain products on her furbaby, Cayenne - i.e. the Body Oil, All Over Soap, Hair Smoothie and Germs Away Mist.

Graydon also offers customized service and 1 on 1 consultations, you will have to either purchase the Skin Consult and Tea with Graydon package on the website, or e-mail her at gm@clinicalluxurybynature.com
Most of her products come in sample sizes that you can purchase to see if you like it, they range from approximately $2 and you get a generous amount of it - enough for a few uses to see if it is suitable for you.
We were all gifted little care packages by Graydon to sample and from playing around with the products and getting a thorough introduction by Graydon herself, I had also purchased 3 items that day.
Before this skincare line was developed, Graydon told us that she was on a hunt for a good all natural skincare line. She went to the drugstores and had no luck, and from that she decided to use her culinary background to whip up her own skin food in the kitchen. She took a bowl and a blender, and just started experimenting, and blended a bunch of ingredients that she knew she wanted and from that she created The Putty. She took The Putty to her yoga studio, and shared them with her class - with all the positive feedback, she finally decided to start her own skincare company, which is Graydon Clinical Luxury By Nature.
Over time, she developed new products, but never once did she sacrifice quality. She really and truly believes in what goes on your skin, should be good enough for your body. All of her ingredients used are disclosed on the labels. There isn't anything that is overly confusing or that you need a science degree to understand. It's all laid out, simple and concise.
I am in love with the three products I got. The Before Bed Spray contains lavender, sweet orange and anti-microbial ingredients. You can mist this on pillows, sheets, and use it as a room spray. The Putty is amazing, it contains every type of good ingredient you can think of - avocado oil, aloe vera juice, hemp seed oil, coconut oil, rose water, shea butter, manuka honey and a dozen more ingredients. This bottle is a miracle worker. It is super soothing for dry and red irritated skin - and is good for people suffering from eczema, rosacea and psoriasis. During the winter, my hand breaks out in eczema, and it's really hard for me to find a lotion that will effectively moisturize my hands without aggravating my rash. This product however, has provided me with relief and comfort this past week and I keep it permanently in my purse. Finally, the Hair Smoothie - this contains broccoli seed oil with parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme essential oils. You massage this into your scalp to promote healthy hair growth. Some testimonials claim that this really helped in growing some hairs, and I'm always on the look out for hair growing products. I will definitely provide you with an update as soon as I have one!
