Dear Readers...
I was at the Dr’s recently and sat next to a pregnant couple, they were very affectionate with each other and were full of the excitement and anticipation of their visit and the journey their pregnancy was taking them on. I remembered fondly how that felt and I felt empathetic towards them but I would not like to go back to pregnancy. Yes it was wonderful and joyful but I would not want to go back to that stage in my life.
Why? You may be asking if you are pregnant, well when I was pregnant and gave birth to my children I thought nothing could surpass that, yet being a part of their daily lives and watching them grow and develop does, each day with them and all the special moments we share are blessings. For those of you who are pregnant with your first child life will never be the same and for those of you who already have children you’ll know exactly what I mean.
Pregnancy is a special time, a time of up’s and downs, uncertainty and expectation, nesting, resting and sharing your hopes and dreams with your partner, take special care.. I hope you enjoy this weeks publication.. we find out about sex during pregnancy what’s ok, what’s not, pets, air travel, antibiotics and how to survive the first six weeks with your baby.

Kosmea’s Certified 100% Organic Rose Hip Oil
Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, this easily-absorbed oil is multi-vitamin for the skin. It helps prevent the appearance of wrinkles, scars, evens out skin tone, moisturises and soothes dry skin, nourishes and hydrates ageing skin, balances oily skin and heals baby rashes.
How to use on your childCertified 100% Organic Rose Hip Oil can be used on newborn babies to keep their skin nourished and healthy. Massage into your baby’s damp skin as it is easily absorbed and non-greasy. As a natural source of essential fatty acids and vitamins it moisturises and replenishes the skin, helping to protect it from dryness and itchiness.
What makes our oil different?
- Certified Organic Source
Kosmea’s rose hips are sourced from Lesotho, South Africa where they grow wild and in abundance.
- Super-critical extraction
In order to extract the rose hip oil we use the ‘super-critical’ extraction process, which is the least harmful - heat-free and solvent-free - and guarantees that the highest possible level of vitamins and antioxidants are captured.
- Economy for Local Community
Kosmea’s rose hips are hand-picked by the local people of Lesotho. The processing of rose hips has provided a sustainable economy for an otherwise poverty-stricken nation and as well as providing jobs, has helped to build schools and provide medical care for the local community.
- Proudly Australian
Certified 100% Organic Rose Hip Oil can be purchased from pharmacies, health food stores, David Jones and online at www.kosmea.com.au.
