Meg Mathews – MegsMenopause
The range was designed to help combat some of the more common symptoms that occur during the menopause. There is a cooling spray for those hot flushes, an intimate moisturiser and wash, both oil-based and water-based lubricants, a hyaluronic acid serum, and my personal favourite, the Meno-Blend. This is my vitamin and superfood supplement that contains everything you need all in one affordable sachet.
When creating my MM range of products there was a few things that were important to me. I wanted them to be as natural as possible, after beginning HRT and realising how much your body absorbs what you put onto your skin, I wanted products with as few ingredients as possible. I wanted them to be vegan and cruelty free. They had to be environmentally friendly, so the packaging is made out of sugar cane husk instead of plastic. It was very important to me that they were affordable, and had a simple design, to avoid any embarrassment some ladies may have while buying them.
I then went on to create the M-Blend, which is a range of CBD – Cannabidiol products. CBD was something that had not reached many in the UK. I discovered it through an American friend of mine. And after 5 days of using it I knew it was something that I needed to continue to use, it helped with so many of my symptoms, the anxiety, the insomnia, headaches, and the list goes on. Again, I wanted there be something for everyone in this range. So, we made many different products that contained CBD. We have different forms of gummy bears, a spray, and oil that you drop under your tongue. They all contain great quality CBD, and they all work wonders.
