Why Handmade Matters – The Heart Behind Lewina Homestead’s Skincare

August 15, 2025

At Lewina Homestead, we don’t just make skincare—we craft it. Every jar of LOC Organic Skincare is poured, mixed, and labelled by hand, with a level of care that mass-produced products simply can’t replicate.

As we prepare for the upcoming Evandale Market, we wanted to take a moment to share why handmade isn’t just a process—it’s a philosophy. Here’s why we believe small-batch, handcrafted goods are worth the extra love (and why we think you’ll agree!).

1. Every Product Has a Story

Our Cleansing Balm isn’t just a makeup remover—it’s the result of months of testing, tweaking, and perfecting to create a formula that truly nourishes. Handmade means:
✅ No rushed production – Just slow, intentional craftsmanship
✅ No faceless factories – Just us, our kitchen, and a commitment to quality
✅ No cutting corners – If we wouldn’t use it, we won’t sell it

2. Freshness You Can Feel

Mass-produced skincare often sits on shelves (or in a warehouse) for months. Ours goes from our hands to yours in days, ensuring:
✨ Potent actives – No degraded ingredients from long storage
✨ No unnecessary preservatives – Our anhydrous formulas stay fresh naturally
✨ A personal touch – Literally! Each batch is hand-stirred and packed with care

3. A Connection, Not Just a Transaction

When you buy handmade, you’re not just a receipt number—you’re part of our homestead’s story.
🌿 Meet us at markets - and see the people that make the products
🌿 Ask us anything – We love to talk about our homestead and our products
🌿 Support a real family – Not a corporate bottom line

4. Better for You, Better for the Earth

Handmade means:
♻️ Less waste – We make in small batches to avoid overproduction
♻️ Thoughtful sourcing – Organic, local ingredients where possible
♻️ Zero mass-production pollution – Just a small homestead doing things the right way

Come See (and Feel) the Difference!

We’ll be at Evandale Market on 17^th August, and we’d love for you to:
