Necessity is an Australian brand founded in 2006 in the Toowoomba Mountain Range in Queensland, when Dr Allen Sonter partnered with naturopath and aromatherapy specialist Peter Bamford. Together they worked out how to blend the active constituents of plants into multi-tasking formulas, and the range now runs across skin repair, lip care, castor oil, hair and supplements. I've been selling Necessity since 2011, in my very early days. My favourite is the original Fixaderm Skin Repair Lotion, a blend of 11 plant oils including evening primrose, jojoba and rosehip with tea tree, lavender and patchouli. Necessity still quote me on their own website calling it a medicine cabinet staple.
