The Crown Jewel of Nutrimetics

The story of Nutrimetics is a fascinating one, and it began in 1961 when a young man named Mulford Nobbs, who suffered from poor health, searched the world for keys to a long and healthy life. His search lead him to the Hunza Valley, located in an isolated corner of the Himalayas.

Thanks to the natural lifestyle and organic and pesticide-free food they consumed, the Hunzakuts lived in perfect physical and mental health to well over 100 years of age. Not only that however, but their skin was soft and youthful (remarkable in such a harsh physical environment), which could only be attributed to the generous use of the oil extracted from the apricot kernel.

The oil from the apricot kernel is used by the Hunzakuts in every aspect of their lives, from food preparation and medicinal purposes to skin protection from the harsh elements of the sun, snow and wind.

Nobbs was so impressed with the apricot kernel oil that he took a sample of it home with him (clearly before the strict quarantine laws of today) and Nutri-Rich Oil was born, now the Crown Jewel of the Nutrimetics range.


THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE APRICOT
Apricot kernel oil is the foundation ingredient in both Nutri-Rich Oil and Nutri-Rich Oil EL
(Extra light) and while it comes from a large family of vegetable derived oils, Apricot Kernel oil is in a class of its own. This is because the level of fatty acids found in Apricot Kernel Oil is very similar to those found in the skin, so its ability to promote and retain suppleness and elasticity is far superior to other oils. It is also very high in anti-aging Vitamins A & E, which protect the skin and promote cell regeneration, key factors for retaining smooth youthful-looking skin.

PRIMARY USE It was originally made to be used as a night crème. Its concentrated formula softens the skin while minimizing lines and wrinkles and fading scars. However, it can be used for many other purposes:

Not Just Skincare and Makeup

When you think of Nutrimetics, what usually comes to mind?

  • Skincare?
  • Makeup?
  • Lotions and Potions?
  • Cleaning products?
Wait... what was that last one? Cleaning products??? What the ...??

The last thing most people expect from Nutrimetics is cleaning products, and yet Nutri-Clean is a staple in thousands of households across Australia and New Zealand, as they are formulated with nature’s best cleaning ingredients and are free from phosphates.

 No harsh chemicals (all our cleaning products are dermatalogically tested except Hevi-Clean), no product fillers (ingredients there just to take up space) and environmentally friendly!
Plus you could have them delivered to your door, saving you time and money and some heavy lifting. 

So what's available in our Nutri-Clean range? I'm glad you asked!

Nutri-Clean CLC
 (Controlled Laundry Concentrate)
   
Available in both 1 ltr and 5 ltrs
  • Biodegradeable
  • Phosphate-free
  • Will not irritate or dry out the most sensitive of skins
  • Suitable for use with all fabrics in cold, warm or hot water
  • Makes clothes look brighter, makes whites look whiter
  • Fast dissolving
  • Economical – concentrated to use less
  • Also suitable for hand-washing

In top loading machines you only need 30mL for a normal load, in front loading machines, just 15mL!

Plus, because it has no added fillers, it will keep your washing machine cleaner for longer, saving you money on repairs. 
So, for a front loading machine, 1 ltr will give you about 65 washes!



Nutri-Clean FSC
(Fabric Softener Concentrate)
This product has only been recently developed and it's new to Nutrimetics this year.
Most fabric softeners owe their softening properties to the use of tallow, a substance derived from animal fat. NutriClean FSC  is free from tallow, instead using a pure vegetable base to soften clothes gently, yet effectively.
  • Leaves clothes soft, smooth and lightly fragranced
  • Concentrated formula (use just 25mL for a normal load)
  • Fast dissolving formula with no residues
  • Free from animal-derived ingredients and phosphates
  • Biodegradable
  • Makes clothes easier to iron and reduces static cling
  • Suitable for delicate fabrics


Nutri-Clean Hevi-Clean
(Heavy Duty Concentrate)
Available both in 1 and 5 litres.

A biodegradable heavy-duty cleanser formulated to dissolve deep-down dirt, ground-in grime, embedded soil and grease. A versatile cleaner that can be used on any washable non-porous hard surface.
  • Concentrated for economical usage
  • Biodegradable heavy-duty cleanser

I've found this product great for lifting up oil stains on my drive-way, especially just before rent inspections! It's also great in the shower to get rid of hard water marks on my glass shower doors and tiles.
I would assume it also works on soap scum, but as I'm using Nutrimetics shower gels, scrubs and oils, I don't have much soap scum in my shower any more, except that which may come from my shampoo.
I love having a shower that's easy to keep clean!


Nutri-Clean OLC
(Original Lotion Concentrate)
Available in both 1 and 5 litres. 

Both my and most people's favourite of all Nutri-Clean products as it cleans almost everything.

A must for every home, this remarkably versatile cleaner is clinically proven to be gentle on the skin and is an ideal fruit and vegetable wash.

  • Biodegradable, all-purpose household cleanser
  • Highly versatile
  • Dermatologically tested
  • Repels lint and dust
  • Free from phosphates, formaldehyde, chlorine, phenols, bleaches and disinfectant
  • Non-alkaline
Cleans kitchens, bathrooms, windows and upholstery. A small amount can be used in water to rinse fruit and vegetables to remove all traces of pesticides and insecticides.

 This product is great for washing dishes (it doesn't aggrevate my eczema at all, no matter what the water temperature is like), washing my dog (she hasn't had skin problems since I've started using it on her, and everyone loves how soft and silky her hair is), as a hand wash; and once when I was in need (because I ran out of the recommended product and it was the weekend and the shops were closed), I used it the steam carpet cleaner (aka Britex) and was very pleased to find that it did a better job in removing dirt from the carpet, left the carpet softer once it was dry and I needed a fraction of the amount of detergent! What a saving! A bottle of the recommended heavy carpet cleaner costs around $8 and usually is enough to clean the carpets in my house twice. I barely used 100mL of OLC. Also, I had some old sticky stains, thanks to my dog, on the carpet in my room. I rubbed a little OLC on them before 'steam cleaning' them, and they're completely gone without a trace!

What can I say, but I LOVE this product! It is so versatile!

You can order the set (as seen in the top picture) which includeds 1 litre of all the NutriClean products, the 2 microfibers, 2 spray bottles and the cleaning caddy for just $85! You'll be all set for spring cleaning in no time! 

Do you use NutriClean at all? What's your favourite product? Which would you like to try for yourself?
