Philosophy

“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness comes, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”

Dr Elisabeth Kübler-Ross 1926-2004

Humanitarian Dr Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, described the inner beauty we all learn to cherish, as ‘true beauty.’ Soraya loved the metaphor, which to her, is synonymous with her love of ‘Natural beauty.’ Natural beauty, she describes as artless and is the more alluring for being so. Beyond mere physical attractiveness, it is the ‘light from within,’ the natural beauty that may be observed in an act of kindness or friendship; in discovery and invention also; in different cultures, music and art. Natural beauty is to be seen every day. Natural beauty is to be seen everywhere in Nature.

Appreciation of natural beauty contributes to sustainable happiness – that form of happiness that is life-affirming, and characterised by social connectedness, spirituality, simplicity and modesty of expectations, patience and tolerance, and much time and space for play!

Snowberry skin care is inspired by Soraya’s twin pillars of Natural beauty and Authenticity. It is a philosophy that inspires us to offer skin care that will be as gentle but as enduring in its effect as possible. It seeks to enhance rather than intervene. It supports rather than attempts to replace wellness and good health as the source of naturally beautiful skin. The use in skincare of petrochemicals, silicones, artificial preservatives and colours, glycols and parabens is not consistent with a philosophy of nourishing the skin naturally. The use of these chemicals is completely inconsistent with the Snowberry philosophy of creating authentic anti-aging skincare.

How we do things is equally as important as what we accomplish. We want our customers to love their relationship with Snowberry because it continually delights! We are committed to changing things for the better – to making a positive difference in the lives of the people we encounter along our way. We believe that nothing is impossible in our search for the quality and effectiveness of the skincare and beauty solutions that people can trust, absolutely.
