homemadeADVENTURES.
Launched in 2020 by outdoor enthusiast, Lisa Dent, homemadeADVENTURES is a unique platform on a mission to help outdoor adventure seekers source natural skincare that takes care of the skin and the environment. The new, online marketplace includes products for hair, skin and body, all of which are specifically selected through rigorous testing to ensure they stand up to outdoor activity, repair and protect the body, and leave minimal impact on the planet. At the same time, homemadeADVENTURES is also working to amplify the importance of the outdoors and the pressing need to protect it against climate change.
The unique platform was born from Lisa Dent’s frustration at trying to find natural, eco-friendly products specifically for people who enjoy outdoor activities: ‘During 2020, I spent more time in the outdoors than ever before. I wanted to find natural products that would protect me from the elements and stand up to the long periods of time I spent outside.
‘There were plenty of places offering natural, eco-friendly skincare products and, equally, lots of places selling products designed for outdoor enthusiasts, but nowhere combined the two. That’s when homeadeADVENTURES was born.’
It wasn’t only Lisa who turned to nature during 2020, the impact of COVID-19 has seen a huge rise in people enjoying time outdoors to stay occupied and healthy. The enthusiasm for activities such as hiking, cycling, open water swimming, paddle sports, and running doesn’t look to be slowing down.
Specially formulated products are key for people who enjoy spending time outdoors due to the stress the elements and strenuous activity can have on the body. However, the most-common products designed to withstand these factors, often use strong, synthetic chemicals some people prefer to avoid. The natural products available at homeadeADVENTURES have all been purposefully chosen by Lisa to ensure they stand up to the rigours of outdoor activity and the natural elements.
Lisa continues: ‘To help make it easier for people to search for outdoor skin and body care, I wanted the products on homemadeADVENTURES categorised into some of the most popular outdoor activities and activity phases. In these categories you will find products that can help to look after your skin when up against the different demands of outdoor activities and the natural elements, whether you choose hiking or biking, swimming or surfing, paddling or climbing, skiing or snow shoeing.
From pre, during, and post activity and recovery, to maintenance care and emergency treatment, I’ve selected skincare products that help combat common skin issues & complaints that can arise as a result from participating in your favourite outdoor adventure and activity.’
As well as being 100% natural and carefully tested to protect even the most adventurous outdoor enthusiasts, the products available at homemadeADVENTURES are also designed to protect the planet. All of the ingredients are ethically sourced, cruelty free and used sustainably.
Protecting the planet is a key focus of this new venture, as Lisa explains: ‘I’m passionate about the outdoors and the positive impact being in nature can have on your physical and mental health, but I’m also very aware we are damaging nature by stripping the earth of its natural resources and dumping an unsustainable amount of waste into landfill, which is collectively contributing to climate change. We need to act now to save the outdoors we love, or it won’t be there to enjoy much longer.’
The new skincare marketplace isn’t solely tackling climate change through the products it offers customers; homemadeADVENTURES is also working to develop a community of outdoor activists. Through advocating for the environment, a new ambassador scheme and partnering with other like-minded groups committed to preserving nature, homemadeADVENTURES is encouraging customers to take action and protect the outdoors they love so much.
