For every bottle of Scar Oil sold, we’re donating £2 to support the work of the Divinity Foundation, a humanitarian NGO in Kenya that is dedicated to helping women and girls who have experienced FGM.

Our collaboration with the Family Practice in Bristol and the Divinity Foundation is not just about healing scars—it’s about bringing hope, dignity, and long-term support to survivors of FGM.

I have long admired Juliana Hounsfield’s work at The Family Practice in Bristol, and particularly her focus on Women’s Health (working with postnatal, post-hysterectomy and post-surgical patients).

Juliana has now joined the medical humanitarian expedition to Kenya, where she will be treating women and children who have suffered the devastating effects of female ge***al mutilation (FGM).

One of the Divinity Foundation’s core missions is to end FGM - a harmful and traumatic practice affecting countless girls and women. FGM is internationally recognised as a violation of human rights, often performed on minors and leading to long-term physical and psychological harm. The Foundation works tirelessly to rescue girls at risk and support survivors through medical, emotional, and educational care.

Juliana is posting on her Instagram stories here: https://www.instagram.com/bristol_womens_health/?hl=en

Together we can help heal scars + bring hope.

Scar Oil is rich in replenishing botanical oils that promote skin regeneration. Suitable for use on both face and body.

I have admired Juliana’s work at The Family Practice in Bristol for years and particularly her focus on Women’s Health (working with postnatal, post-hysterectomy and post-surgical patients). She has a brilliant team of practitioners, some of whom I had the joy of teaching Gua Sha Face Massage to recently.

Juliana has offered us the opportunity to connect with her work through the Divinity Foundation (https://www.divinityfoundation.com), an NGO in Kenya that is dedicated to helping women and girls who have experienced FGM.

We are so proud that Juliana is a big fan of our Scar Oil and now this product can support the the incredible work of the Divinity Foundation. Juliana is joining a medical humanitarian expedition to Kenya. There, she will be treating women and children who have suffered the devastating effects of FGM.

In her Bristol practice, Juliana often recommends Scar Oil to her patients to support recovery from surgery and scar tissue. It is a fabulous blend of all the oils that you would want to treat scarred skin. Now, she is taking this mission beyond her clinic, we will take a part in this effort:

💧 For every bottle of Scar Oil sold through our website, £2 will be donated to the Divinity Foundation to support ongoing medical care at their new hospital in Kenya.

This collaboration is not just about healing scars—it’s about bringing hope, dignity, and long-term support to survivors of FGM.

👉 Buy a bottle. Heal a scar. Change a life.
