About Rea & The Hollow
The Hollow is a small company that came to be in the autumn
of 2001 when Rea Burnett the owner labored over her stove to
make handmade soaps and candles for her family and friends.
She took her love and went public with it months later in the
spring of 2002. Devoted to bringing her customers quality
products with fair prices and a customized touch Rea has
produced a company based on the simple concept of
professionalism.
Rea is currently studying at Australasian College of Health
Sciences getting her degree as a Master Herbalist. She will be
applying her new found knowledge in developing more original
products, giving individual assistance and consultations in
herbal medicine, as well as putting a holistic approach on The
Hollow. Rea has already put to use many of the things she has
learned in her studies but is excited to complete the course in
December 2008 when she will officially be a Master Herbalist.

Soaps: I spent years watching several friends and
family members suffer with the skin condition
known as Psoriasis. I saw them spending outrageous
money on medications, ointments, and creams that
would work for a short period and would offer little
to no relief of the symptoms. Upon looking at the
unpronounceable ingredients on some of their
prescribed medications I wondered if maybe
bringing it back to the basics would help. It seems
often in society we are so willing to pump ourselves
full of chemicals when in the kitchen there is a
plethora of natural ingredients that are available for
our use that are just as good if not better with less
harmful side effects. Do not get me wrong I believe
in modern medicine, but the majority of minor ills
and medications can be found naturally so why not
take advantage?
I have been experimenting and making soaps for two
years now with my friends and family happily being
my guinea pigs. About a year ago when I was
confident enough in my product, I started to sell it
to others. My customer following swears by my hand
made products and by word of mouth the buzz
about the quality spread. (Which you will see in the
testimonies)

Candles: Fed up by cheap quality expensive
candles I decided to make my own. By now I
was already head long into making soaps and
developing a whole body care line. Finally with
study and a lot of practice I was again
confident enough to sell my line of hand made
candles.
