MOONETTE – Organic Skincare for Mature Skin
We are a Torrox-based company specialising in the creation of formulae which help prevent premature skin ageing. We are committed to making effective products at affordable prices.
Your skin health matters to us. How you feed your skin is as important as how you feed your body. Why settle for anything less than natural and organic?
As our skin is the first layer of our defence against microbial infections, ultraviolet radiation and environmental contamination it plays a vital role in our health. As we grow older, however, our skin becomes thinner, wrinkled, and more sensitive; hence it requires the use of treatments containing specific ingredients to the care of treating mature skin.
Recognising this need we have created a range of formulae which help
-slow down ageing process by smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.
-improve facial complexion and eliminate blemishes.
At Moonette, we are passionate about health, beauty and plants. Your skin will benefit from the properties of botanic essential oils combined with a selection of nutrients for deep hydration, cell revitalization and antioxidant effect, all sourced from the finest natural ingredients with gorgeous fragrances.
Naturally, we care about our planet and feel the need to help reduce the sheer volumes of plastics waste that are generated daily around the globe. Presently, we are minimizing the usage of plastic materials in our production while seeking alternative forms of packaging. To help reduce pollution we are asking all local customers to recycle or reuse their Moonette skincare containers, and offering a small discount on future purchases to customers recycling containers.

Covid Andalucia- Andalusia enters “very pronounced downward” Covid-19 incidence phase: {Translation} 27/05/2022 13:53
-The Andalusian Regional Minister for Health and Families, Jesús Aguirre, said on Friday that the region is on a “very marked downward” trend in the incidence of the coronavirus.
-The minister said that as of today Andalusia has 691 hospitalised patients, which is “90 less than last Tuesday”.
-In addition, there are 40 people in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), while the cumulative incidence is 467 cases per 100,000 inhabitants over the age of 60, when the “average for Spain is 800 cases”.
-The minister stressed that the incidence in Andalusia is the “lowest of all the autonomous communities”, which is why he considered that “something is being done” in the region, which has “very good figures”.
-He stressed that the “weakest link, such as the residences”, are increasingly “free of covid” and more than “85 percent” of the 1,107 existing in Andalusia do not register any cases, which means that these figures “call for hope”, he concluded.

TECH
Stalkerware- A Face Search Engine Anyone Can Use Is Alarmingly Accurate: You have just lost another serious degree of privacy. For $29.99 a month, a website called PimEyes offers a potentially dangerous superpower from the world of science fiction: the ability to search for a face, finding obscure photos that would otherwise have been as safe as the proverbial needle in the vast digital haystack of the internet.
-A search takes mere seconds. You upload a photo of a face, check a box agreeing to the terms of service and then get a grid of photos of faces deemed similar, with links to where they appear on the internet.
– The New York Times used PimEyes on the faces of a dozen Times journalists, with their consent, to test its powers. PimEyes found photos of every person, some that the journalists had never seen before, even when they were wearing sunglasses or a mask, or their face was turned away from the camera, in the image used to conduct the search.
-PimEyes found one reporter dancing at an art museum event a decade ago, and crying after being proposed to, a photo that she didn’t particularly like but that the photographer had decided to use to advertise his business on Yelp. A tech reporter’s younger self was spotted in an awkward crush of fans at the Coachella music festival in 2011. A foreign correspondent appeared in countless wedding photos, evidently the life of every party, and in the blurry background of a photo taken of someone else at a Greek airport in 2019. A journalist’s past life in a rock band was unearthed, as was another’s preferred summer camp getaway.
