Why should I
use natural skincare products?
The skin is the largest organ of the
human body and absorbs high levels of substances that it comes into
contact with. 60% of what we put on our skin gets absorbed and travels
right to our bloodstream, so ingredients should be a key factor when
shopping. It is shocking to learn about the chemicals that are in most
skincare products we use daily. Hazardous chemicals like phthalates are a
common component of the ingredient "fragrance." Synthetic
chemical ingredients, such as sulfates, petrochemicals and parabens, have even
been linked to cancer. We disclose all of our ingredients so you know
exactly what you are putting on your skin.
What does "natural" mean?
Natural, pure, organic, botanical and herbal have become popular marketing
terms. However, there is a lack of regulations and guidelines in the skincare
industry. Some products contain only 1% of natural ingredients, yet they
are labeled as natural. We define our products as "all natural"
because we only use ingredients found in nature. These ingredients
are used in their raw, natural form or are extracted directly from
plants. All of our products are at least 70% organic.
What is the difference between
commercial soaps, body washes and shampoo compared to the handcrafted products
you offer?
Most of these commercial products
are actually detergents and have had the glycerin removed during their
manufacturing. Glycerin is a very valuable moisturizer that is often
extracted and sold separately as a by-product for use in other products.
Our all natural body washes and shampoos are made with organic plant oils that
retain all that natural glycerin during the saponification process for its skin
moisturizing benefits
Why should I use natural
moisturizers?
There are many naturally occurring
substances which have outstanding moisturizing properties and are known to be
safe to use on your skin and lips. They are safer and more effective than the
chemical alternatives used in many moisturizers that so many of us know by
name. Petroleum-based moisturizers slightly moisturize the surface of the skin
and trap the moisture there, thus temporarily making the skin feel less
dry. Our products use naturally effective, safe,
concentrated moisturizing ingredients that deeply hydrate skin cells
and help the cells regain their natural elasticity so that they are better able
to keep moisture from escaping.
I
have sensitive or problem skin. Can I use your products?
Most people with
sensitive skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis or acne find our products
very helpful. Since we do not use chemicals, detergents or dyes, our
products are very gentle.
Are your products vegan?
Yes. All our products are vegan. No honey or beeswax is used in any of
our product. We also do not use any animal fats or any other animal ingredients
in our products. We do not support animal testing and use only
cruelty-free ingredients obtained from verified sources.
What green practices does your company incorporate into its business?
We strive to be an environmentally responsible business because the
environment is very important to all of us and we love the beauty of
nature. We use certified organic and sustainable ingredients as often as
possible and recyclable packaging when manufacturing our biodegradable
products We only use PETE 1 bottles. Energy star appliances, CFL lighting, recycled paper and boxes are
used in our daily operations. We prefer electronic communications over
mail or catalogs to save resources. All the cleaners we use are non-toxic and
biodegradable.
Yes!! Emphatically yes! Check back every couple of weeks and I will have new products and even more scents as I continue to grow. I welcome any and all questions and comments concerning anything you would love to see as well.
