Congrats Lily and Emma!
If you’ve been hanging out here at VM for a while, you will have noticed a happy pink ad over there on the sidebar. Cosima Skincare has been on my blog’s face and on my own face every day for the last two years – and not without good reason.
I’ve chatted a bit here about why I like them so much: but basically, it’s skincare that works. Quality ingredients, reasonable prices, pretty smells, manufactured in Australia, and run by a Brisbane mum with a desire to create a beautiful product for people who want their skin to be its best. It is also certified organic, cruelty-free, and comes in recyclable packaging.
I love the idea of natural products. Really, I do. What I love even more is anti-ageing natural cosmeceutical products, ones that pack a real punch. Not literally, that would be the opposite of caring for your face, and would probably hurt.
No SLS, no parabens, no artificial anything, for those of you who try to avoid those things. Just a nutrient soup for your highly-absorbent skin that does a wonderful job every day of keeping your insides in.
I’m pretty stoked to announce I am now a Cosima ambassador, which means my giant head will be coming to a Facebook Cover Image near you. It also means we will be running more giveaways to get VM readers’ skin into tip-top shape. It’s a lot of fun to use indulgent, luxurious products that hydrate and prettify while also avoiding rubbing a chemical shitstorm into your face.
For two lucky readers this week, Angela and I are giving away two $250 vouchers for you to spend on whatever Cosima products you like. Simply head over to the Cosima website and pick a few, then come back here and tell us what you’d like and why. We will choose two winners on the basis of those comments. The competition will end next Tuesday, May 20 at 5pm. Winners will be notified by email and named on this post.
Do please say hi to Angela either on her Facebook page or on Instagram. She’s a real gem, and often does giveaways on those platforms too. She’s been a wonderful support to the blog, and I’d be overjoyed if you could send her a little Veggie Mama love.
Good luck!
Renee at Mummy, Wife, Me says
May 13, 2014 at 6:15 amI’ve never heard of Cosima before! I would love Angela’s advice on what is best for my very dry skin type, but I think the Replenshing Day and Night cream would be a great start for me. I’ve always wanted a proper exfoliator too, so I would go with that also. Off to check out the FB page.
Sandra says
May 13, 2014 at 9:43 amBeing pregnant I like to avoid products with harsh chemicals and give preference to those certified organic. This is the first time Ive heard of Cosima and Id love to try the repleneshig day cream, regenerating night cream and the gentle cleansing milk.
Africanaussie says
May 13, 2014 at 10:31 amOh awesome – gosh those products look great. I like the fact that the ingredient list looks like something I could eat – aloe vera, goji berries etc. I am heading off to see my brand new grandson in a months time, and would so love to take some of these with me so my daughter and I can have a “beauty” day. With my 250.00 voucher I would buy a soothing and a refining clay mask (since we have different skin) then the radiant elixer (I feel younger just reading that!) the replenishing day cream and regenerating night cream, and lastly the true renew facial exfoliator. Those would be sure to make me look like a smooth and supple grandma. 🙂
Emily @ Have A Laugh On Me says
May 13, 2014 at 12:07 pmI was actually gifted a facial last week and I was amazed at how good quality products, especially those that exfoliate, can make a different to your skin. I haven’t spent money on products since I’ve had kids, but I also can’t afford the natural ones that I want. Since having kids I’ve become a lot more aware about chemicals and refuse to put things on their skin but still use cheap stuff on mine! So I’d choose the Flawless Serum to help get rid of pigmentation, other age spots and also the Flawless active enzyme peel to get rid of the dead skin once a week! I’d also get a soothing clay mask, there’s nothing quite like having a face mask on in the winter wearing slippers, sipping a glass or red wine and watching TV! 🙂
Emma says
May 13, 2014 at 12:20 pmBeing a Mumma like all the rest, my only “beauty regime” is when i accidentally wipe (best case scenario) sudo creme on my cheek whilst wrestling a nappy onto a squishy, squirmy 1 year old princess who has stolen any existing grunged up remnants of blush i once owned to decorate “dolly”… having said all this, i think the Soothing Clay Mask “A mini face-lift at home” sounds divine and along with the Purely Radiant Elixir and some regenerating night cream, i might be able to, whilst enjoying the 45 minutes my child deigns to nap, remind myself of a time when i actually had a budget, the time and lets face it the inclination to visit a beautician! keep up the good work Cosima! 😉
Julie says
May 13, 2014 at 3:04 pmRegenerating Night Cream!!! Who does not want a cream that fixes bitch resting face while you sleep.
Rachel @ Mother Far from Home says
May 13, 2014 at 3:11 pmSo I’d like the clay mask, the night cream and the day cream because (a) myself and my face need regeneration (b) I want to use something natural, but can’t seem to DIY my own in a way that gives results, and © I keep telling myself that the eye wrinkles are from happiness and a life well-lived, but it’s getting harder and harder to swallow that.
Kristyn says
May 13, 2014 at 3:36 pmI would love to have some of the Purely Radiant Elixir. My skin could use some boosting. I’ve been trying several products now but nothing seems to be working. I’ve always had dry skin and red patchy bits but as I age, it seems to be getting worse. I’m already losing my hair, I would at least like to have beautiful skin.
Linda White says
May 13, 2014 at 3:58 pmI would choose the Flawless Cream and the Flawless Eye Cream, I really need something to help with aging skin, I have wrinkles and lines and uneven skin tone. Would feel great to have beautiful skin using natural products instead of a lot of chemicals.
rose powell says
May 13, 2014 at 4:11 pmHeavenly love to try the FOAMING CLEANSER NOURISHING and AGE DELAY HAND AND NAIL CREAM just turned 50 and working where my hands are in water and sweat running down my face just would love to slow down the ageing don’t want to look older than I am and it is all natural and that is wonderful
Sandie Farr says
May 13, 2014 at 4:25 pmI’m new to the Cosimaskincare world and I’ve got the eye cream which is AMAZING!! I would love to try the peel and the serum – the reviews sound incredible and I just adore the fact that this product is all natural yet so effective with incredible results.
Katie A says
May 13, 2014 at 4:40 pmAt 38 I am still battling with acne. This has been 24 long years & I am desperate to find a product that will help me, and help my self esteem as a whole in the long run. My best skin ever was when I was pregnant with my twins. As with many mothers I don’t spend much money on myself, but have been recently searching and trying new products to help my skin, which is getting worse not better. My jawline in particular has terrible cystic acne. I have seen a fair bit on Cosima, and winning this voucher would be amazing. At an age where you would think I would be purchasing the ‘Flawless” collection, I would be most interested in the Foaming Cleanser – Balancing, Phytoactive Hydrator/Toner – Balancing, Purely Radiant Elixir – Balancing and the Refining Clay Mask to fingers crossed help improve my skin. My gorgeous 10 year old daughter is now showing signs of pimples, which just upsets me. I don’t want her to have to go through the years of trying different products, taking medicines etc to fix her skin. I am hoping that Cosima is my natural & organic solution, and a solution that I can share with my daughter for life!!
Reannon Hope says
May 13, 2014 at 5:17 pmI am in DESPERATE need of new skin care !!! So I’ll have aaaaalllll the balancing products because my skin is outta whack thanks to pregnancy hormones doing their not so great thang & I’ll take the exfoliation stuff too in the hope of revealing some beautiful fresh skin – god I need the beautiful, untired looking skin!
Tana Hewett says
May 13, 2014 at 5:30 pmId really love their Flawless eye cream & purely radiant elixir please. .my skin is in desperate need for some tlc . Veggie Mama & Cosima pleasd help me show my skin what love can be
Nicole says
May 13, 2014 at 5:57 pmI’ve just begun studies this year to become a Naturopath and am working my way through my life to change all I use to natural products and foods. As a student learning how our bodies process everything, it’s become even more important to keep my body clean and pure from the inside out. Becoming a student again while in my mid 30’s has been an adjustment and I would love to try the flawless eye cream to help with the aging process (aka laugh lines) and early mornings. The age delay nail and hand cream looks amazing too – I’ve always struggled with feeling as though my hands look old. Honestly, any help at all would be such a blessing and gratefully appreciated.
Linda C says
May 13, 2014 at 6:13 pmI would love to try the Foaming Cleanser – Nourishing and Regenerating Night Cream. Both sound perfect for my aging skin.
Marwa Yates says
May 13, 2014 at 6:33 pmI would love to try Pure Radiance Rich Hydrating Creme i just have baby from 5 weeks and my face very dry and pale would love some help with your great products ♥♥
Karen C says
May 13, 2014 at 8:50 pmCosima’s Flawless Cream and Eye Cream that’s a Natural Botox Alternative and could work on my fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin and give my skin a lovely radiance, so I could outwardly shine how I feel on the inside!
Anita Black says
May 13, 2014 at 11:50 pmI would love True Renew facial Exfoliator and feel those wonderful Jojoba beads at work….plus Gentle Cleansing milk as I have mature skin! The other item I would love is Regenerating Night Cream so I can sleep peacefully knowing my skin is being restored!
Rose-Leah Hovivian says
May 14, 2014 at 9:31 amI’m about to turn 40 and the eye cream I usually use is no longer on the shelf, so this is the perfect time for me to replace it with the Cosima Flawless Eye Cream – Natural Botox® Alternative. I would really love this – it sounds wonderful for that delicate skin area.
The Replenishing Day Cream and Regenerating Night Cream also sound wonderful – I think it’s time for a change to something natural and better. I’d love to try Cosima. I just liked Cosima on Facebook 🙂
Lily (A Rhubarb Rhapsody) says
May 14, 2014 at 2:31 pmI look so drab and dreary and *tired* the majority of the time. My ‘youthful glow’ has certainly faded, only to be replaced with baggy eyes, adult acne and a blotchy complexion. Foaming Cleanser – Balancing, Replenishing Day Cream and the Refining Clay Mask sound like they’d provide the nurturing my poor face has been crying out for!
Lisa Mckenzie says
May 14, 2014 at 2:41 pmI adore Cosima skin care it is great for sensitive skin. I would choose the cleansing milk the replenishing day cream and the regenerating night cream for my 50 year old face.
Belinda Maher says
May 14, 2014 at 3:24 pmI would love to try the replenishing night cream for my oily face and also I have a lot of blood lines in my face sI I’m hoping it will reduce, I’ve used many skincare products and nothing seems to work on my face. It looks horrible being a mum and feel so embarrassed at times to leave the house.
Fiona says
May 14, 2014 at 5:12 pmPure Radiance Rich Hydrating Creme, enough to make my skin just beam.
Gentle Cleansing Milk, to help my skin neglect guilt. Firming body lotion, the perfect skin potion. Nourishing foaming cleanser, a perfect skin quencher! 🙂
Karina Lee says
May 14, 2014 at 8:24 pmThe Pure Potent C – Skin Illuminating Serum would be perfect for rubbing into my dry dry skin!
amandagorton says
May 15, 2014 at 12:05 amI’m not a very big fan of needles so the Flawless Cream and Flawless Serum – Natural Botox Alternative is like finding gold at the end of a rainbow!
JBMarigold says
May 15, 2014 at 12:12 amGoodness me!… I’d be happy with just the Flawless Active Enzyme Peel for year of flawless skin!
sharron says
May 15, 2014 at 6:21 ami love the sound of regenerating night cream and foam wash always feels fantastic i exercise eat fresh organic food makes sence i treat my skin with same respect
Narelle Rock says
May 15, 2014 at 7:57 amI am currently going through a breakup, so the Flawless Active Enzyme Peel would be perfect to strip away those last layers of nastiness and move on!
bianca says
May 15, 2014 at 8:34 ampeels are always great once we hit the naughty fourties, and foam washes are easy a simple late at night
jody buhagiar says
May 15, 2014 at 9:01 amAge Delay Hand and Nail Cream and the
Foaming Cleanser – Nourishing
Im a nurse and constantly washing my hands. They are so dry and tired looking. Turning 50 this year also hasnt helped. The foaming cleanser would be great for for mornings, making me feel refreshed 🙂
Donna says
May 15, 2014 at 9:33 amI love the look of the whole FLAWLESS range as I only like to use organic products but it’s a challenge to find ones that cater for anti-aging without being priced out of my range. The Flawless Active enzyme peel looks especially good.
Xzavia Green says
May 15, 2014 at 10:43 amThe Flawless range just flawed me!! Instant results AND long lasting results with continued use? Jaw is on the FLAW 🙂 But Cosima can help my skin look the way I feel!
nicole larsen says
May 15, 2014 at 11:09 amwith so much stress in my life at the moment I would love the anti aging Flawless Range
Karen Coleman says
May 15, 2014 at 2:36 pmI have loved every one of the Cosima products I’ve tried and am now keen to try either the Flawless Active Enzyme Peel, Flawless serum or Pure Potent C. It’s great to know that by using Cosima we are doing both ourselves and the environment no harm and the products are beautiful to use. Angela does an amazing job bringing these goodies to us.
laureneve says
May 15, 2014 at 4:31 pmPure Potent C, Flawless eyecream … botox in a jar YES… needed having a non-sleeping baby in the house!
Kay Gerritsen- Blaney says
May 15, 2014 at 5:34 pmI’d love the age delay hand cream, my hands are in water all day. They need all the help they can get.
Summer Hinaki McDade says
May 16, 2014 at 3:18 amI’d love the Firming Lotion for the Body just thinking about it is lifting my mood already!!
LuckyLisa13 says
May 16, 2014 at 12:27 pmI’d love the flawless serum Natural Botox. Each morning I think I get wrinklier.
Foaming cleanser. Nourisher just sounds like heaven thinking about it.
Soothing Clay mask is just the treat 🙂
Really everything on the Cosima web page is great .
Melissa Jones says
May 16, 2014 at 5:02 pmMy face skin needs anti-age products to take care and my hands need too. Age delay hand and nail cream can keep my hands silky soft and smooth. My little boy doesn’t like my hands because of the dry and rough skin, especially in winter time plus loads of chores. My hands look older than my age. They need rescue from Cosima.
Mummy Ariane says
May 16, 2014 at 10:13 pmFlawless eyecream, Flawless Active Enzyme Peel, and Age delay hand and nail cream would really help me look and feel so much younger.
bek says
May 17, 2014 at 9:00 amI would love the flawless serum natural botox alternative, since reaching my mid 30’s I have gained the apperance of crow lines around my eyes. I feel conscious of these at times and hopefully the botox alternative can smooth them out and make them not as noticeable. I would also love to try the award winning replenishing day cream. My facial skin is on the dry side and needs plenty of nourishment…the anti ageing is a big plus too. Keep up the good work Cosima 🙂
Roberto Colombi says
May 17, 2014 at 10:14 amFlawless Active Enzyme Peel – having flawless skin is so a’Peel’ing!
Marie Pohnetalova says
May 17, 2014 at 10:15 amThe Flawless Range would leave me totally ‘Floored’!
Laura Powers says
May 17, 2014 at 8:02 pmRefining Clay Mask I’m a face mask addict this one is really suited to my skin type, I have never used anything with Cypress essential oil sounds great
Kirsten W says
May 17, 2014 at 8:15 pmI’d love to make friends with the Flawless Active Enzyme Peel. I’d invite it to my home, give it top shelf treatment, savour it and praise it. We’d be friends for life!
Vanda B says
May 17, 2014 at 9:46 pmFlawless Active Enzyme Peel to keep my skin glowing and pure; and Flawless Serum – Natural Botox for a youthful allure!
Di says

Amyas Leigh says
May 18, 2014 at 10:44 amMy skin has suffered from years of toxins, I’d choose Cosima Flawless Cream to organically enhance and replenish my damaged skin.
Christine says
May 18, 2014 at 10:50 amLove the sound of the botox alternative range as I’m not a fan of injecting botulism into my face! The toners also sound lovely
sam says
May 18, 2014 at 11:38 amRegenerating Night Cream – I love the thought that it’s working while I’m sleeping…and that I may wake up completely transformed.
Tess Howard says
May 18, 2014 at 4:22 pmHaving to live through Tassie winters each year, my skin suffers. I love the sound of
PhytoActive Hydrator/Toner – Nourishing. A toner as well as all those nourishing extras! And the Flawless Serum, which has nothing to do with Tassie winters, just ‘growing up’!
Natalie Stoute says
May 18, 2014 at 5:56 pmI love the simplicity of the Cosima range, and the replenishing day cream and regenerating night cream and the firming body lotion are at the top of my list. My existing beauty products seem to be lacking in effectiveness these days and having just turned 40, it’s definitely time for a change. I especially love that the ingredients in Cosima products are natural, organic, and it’s all Australian made. Thanks Veggie Mama! 🙂
Maria Pennisi says
May 18, 2014 at 5:57 pmI’d love to try the True Renew Facial Exfoliator. After I exfoliate I feel like I have given birth to a new skin! Then to follow with the Regenerating Night Cream and wake up feeling grea.
Kate Dvornik says
May 18, 2014 at 9:43 pmI was given the Cosima refining clay mask and I love it…would love to compliment it with the True Renew Facial Exfoliator and the Balancing foaming cleanser 🙂
Jo Craze says
May 18, 2014 at 10:06 pmWould love to try Flawless Cream and eye cream natural botox as I do not
want to get injected with botox and would love similar results
especially the two lines between my eyebrows.
Laura Scriven says
May 19, 2014 at 8:49 amTrue Renew Facial Exfoliator to make me glow,
And the Refining Clay Mask to help it flow,
Plus the Regenerating Night Cream,
Repair when I dream!
Sue Roach says
May 19, 2014 at 11:24 amLove to try Cosima products as it is organic. First the award winning Replenishing Day Cream, second Firming Body Lotion and the Gentle Cleansing Milk and Soothing Clay mask sound wonderful too. Can’t wait to see the results and feel great again
Melissa Arieslaylanemo Wilkes says
May 19, 2014 at 12:16 pmFlawless Eye Cream and Flawless Serum – Natural Botox® Alternative, I feel like the wrinkles are winning the war and a little less crease and a bit more body would be something I cherish!
Kerry Solomon says
May 19, 2014 at 1:44 pmThank you Veggie Mama and Cosima for a truly fabulous, fantastic, awesome prize. I hope you enjoy this little poem I wrote 🙂
Wow! what a fabulous prize
Some Flawless Cream for my eyes

But wait, I cannot lie
There’s many more products I’d like to try
For a complexion that is smooth and toned
Some Flawless Active Enzyme Peel must be owned
And Pure Radiance Rich Hydrating Creme
This anti-aging gem will be used again and again
Wrinkles and Fine lines be gone
I’m getting my Cosima Skin Care on
Botox you’re out, Cosima you’re in
As I reveal brighter, younger, more radiant skin!
S Jones says
May 19, 2014 at 2:44 pmCosmia, wow! What a great range you have. I’m glad i found your site.
Gentle Cleansing Milk & Pure Radiant Elixir would be perfect for me to increase my skin’s youthful glow. I love the rich anti-oxidants you have added and the non chemical formulas. They will help to nourish & protect my skin….to prevent that botox!
Lani K says
May 19, 2014 at 7:35 pmI’d love to try the PhytoActive Hydrator/Toner and the Firming Body Lotion. Ive seen and admired the range, and am keen to own some. Thanking you x
jonmic says
May 19, 2014 at 7:40 pmFlawless Cream – Natural Botox Alternative…after reading along the product list, I spotted this one and thought…’yep, stop…this is a must try for my mature skin!’
Michelle Gray says
May 19, 2014 at 8:14 pmThe Refining Clay Mask as I like playing with mud and the True Renew Facial Exfoliator as it would be like playing in sand, beautiful skin while I play.
Charlotte says
May 19, 2014 at 9:25 pmThe gentle cleansing milk and soothing clay mask both just sound so delectably indulgent, like a spa at home, I would love to try them! I’ve never been to a spa before and not sure I’d be brave enough but love the idea of having my own little me-time at home 🙂 Also love love love that this is a mum-run business and the products are cruelty-free, double thumbs up from me! Thanks for the chance!
Santhia Keiller says
May 20, 2014 at 5:54 amI can’t choose just a few. I love the diversity of natural ingredients in the entire product range. Bamboo extract in a facial exfoliant and mushroom as active ingredients reassure me that Cosima products are made with the best all natural active ingredients.
daniela barbaro says
May 20, 2014 at 6:39 amPure Radiance Rich Hydrating Creme as my skin is a bit dry and needs hydration
Joanna Harrison says

Vija Leitis says
May 20, 2014 at 8:46 amBoth the Pure Potent C and Flawless Serum tick all the boxes for my ageing skin. Wouldn’t it be great to turn back time, just a touch
Melanie Melaniedarrin Farrugia says
May 20, 2014 at 12:26 pmWith a son who suffered from cystic acne would love some skin care products to give him back some natural moisture
Belinda Bann says
May 20, 2014 at 1:24 pmCosima Flawless Cream and Flawless Eye Cream are two products that sound very impressive! My skin is in great need of effective products so I’m eager to try them 🙂
