For a long time now, many of you have been asking Dr.Mah questions about the creation of Saaf and the development of products. Hopefully this mini interview will answer your questions!
The saying for chocolates, ‘A moment on the lips = a life time on the hips!’ may be just as applicable to cosmetics, considering women on average may eat several tonnes of lipstick during their lifetime; up to 5lb per year of chemicals may get absorbed into the body as a result of putting make up on every day and up to 60% of what we put on our skin can get absorbed into the body!
