THE STORY BEHIND ECOOKING

Anyone who has experienced a personal crisis knows that it leaves scars. That is what happened to me. Literally – and visibly. The crisis affected the skin on my face. Suddenly my skin became more ‘tired’ and ‘grey’ than ever before. Because I also lost a lot of weight in a short space of time, my skin completely collapsed.

Starting at home on the kitchen table

With many years’ experience in the industry, I am familiar with the kinds of ingredient that can be used to boost the skin. That is why I decided literally to take matters into my own hands. I brought raw ingredients home from the laboratory and started to mix creams, serums, and oils on my kitchen table. Every other day, I mixed a new batch, which I kept in the refrigerator.

In just a short space of time, I saw the first visible results on my skin. The results were so palpable that my home-mixed products quickly became popular with family and friends who received them in repurposed bottles and jam jars.

Products were problem solvers

My first ‘production’ consisted of seven products for my own use. But soon friends and family started to ask for specific solutions to problems that they were experiencing here and now. That is why there was no overall concept to the products, no primary ingredient because they were all created based on specific requirements. Each product was a troubleshooter.

Helping others with their skin problems was sheer therapy for me, and I never set out to develop the products in order to sell them. But the rumor of their efficiency spread and suddenly beauticians and retailers started to approach me. The need and a wish to help even more people was born.That is how Ecooking started – a Danish skin care range that is rich on organic and natural ingredients and does not compromise on effectiveness. Ecooking is based on honesty and transparency, which is why all our labels show precisely what the products contain.

I have often received calls from my mother who did not understand the labels on the various products she was buying. That is why my products have names that tell you precisely what they are. A day cream is called a day cream and nothing else.
