Founders of Beauty lines find inspiration in all kinds of bizarre things, but Tony Tillbrook's story is quite unique. A real entrepreneurial spirit, Tony actually invented the 'wetsuit' in the 1960s, including the one Sean Connery wore for his role as James Bond in the film 'Thunderball'. Odd thing was, that he soon discovered the adverse effects chemicals can have on the skin as it appeared some of his customers were allergic to the glue used in the manufacturing process of wetsuits and so, this inspired Tony to start researching ingredients that can be found in everyday products, including toiletries.

amaZene® is the result of his search (together with his son and co-founder Mark) to combine his love for the Amazon rainforest, the world's greatest natural resource and an area which he has travelled extensively, with his quest to develop a bath and body care range that does not contain harsh chemicals. 

"amaZene® products contain high-end active ingredients from the Amazon rainforest and are free from sulfates and parabens, which are often linked to health and skin problems." says Tony.  "It is the perfect product range for people who are looking for a high-end but affordable bath and body brand that delivers great results without the chemical overload."

Each product in the range contains the unique amaZonia ABC^TM blend of three certified organic ingredients:  Açai, Babaçu and Cupuaçu - specially formulated to keep the skin radiant and soft and to help slow down the ageing process. Then on top of these three ingredients, there are two other key ingredients added, but this is different for each of the six ranges, each with different exotic ingredients and fragrances. Try Mango & Murumuru for an instant reminder of summer or Avocado & Andiroba if you prefer a clean and fresh aroma. 

We were particularly interested in the 3 powerful ingredients that form the base of every product in the range, and asked the guys to explain a bit more about them,

"Each product in the range contains the unique amaZonia ABC^TM blend of three certified organic ingredients:  Açai, Babaçu and Cupuaçu - specially formulated to keep the skin radiant and soft and to help slow down the ageing process" said Tony.

• Açai: The fruit from the Açai palm contains extremely high level of antioxidants, which help tocombat the effects of premature ageing by regenerating the skin
• Babaçu: The precious oil from this palm is known for its superior moisturising properties; it softens the skin without leaving an oily sheen
• Cupuaçu: The extracts from the seeds of the Cupuaçu tree possess excellent hydrating qualities and help to stimulate the skin's natural elasticity.
