Caring for your products

It is important to remember with our natural & organic products to follow these simple steps to preserve your products freshness. Our products contain mineral based, natural preservatives that will provide a similar shelf life to other chemical based products. However, it is important to remember to store your items out of sunlight & out of excessive heat.

If you can imagine, you have organic fruit & vegetables ready to eat in your kitchen - full of goodness & nutrition. You wouldn’t store those vegetables

on the window ledge, in direct sunlight, allowing them to deteriorate, You would store them in the refrigerator. We are not asking you to store your new organic products in the fridge, but what we must make you aware of, is the fact our products are vegetable based & contain natural vital oils, which are truly organic. Therefore these simple guidelines will help you retain the freshness of your product.

Topics for discussion

Is Organic better? Why our skin care range is better compared to chemical brands & other organic products on the market.

The first point of discussion, are, our UK laws, which govern the labelling within the cosmetic industry. In the past few years, you will have seen and heard about the controversy with regards to food labels - We now have different labels on different packets and they are now, slowly, getting up-to date with what should be standard practice - Letting us know what we are putting into our bodies! We all know that E numbers, preservatives, colourings etc. have all been linked to skin complaints, cancer and more and we all want to know what’s in our food and to make an educated decision in what we’re eating, but, this is not the same in the cosmetic industry.

If a product has ‘Natural or Organic’ on the label, you would think that it was totally ‘Natural or Organic’ However this is not the case! You only have to have a small percentage of natural or organic ingredients to be able to claim this. I think that this is really wrong! The rest of the bottle and probably 90% of its contents can be filled with petro-chemicals, additives, & parabens which have been found in all kinds of cancer cells, especially, breast cancer in women. This makes you think!

The below article was recently in the press, October 8th 2009.

Now, let’s talk about other organic products & compare them to our own. A question often asked & which does need answering, but, scientifically of course!

Undoubtedly the more natural ingredients & the fewer chemicals the better, and healthier for you - that’s common sense, but, being organic does not mean they are results driven!

A large proportion of organic products are not well formulated, made only to get an approval not a result. Take for example the majority of organic products which are made with Shea Butter/Bees wax. Using these ingredients isn’t good, because, like many chemical products it’s not added to benefit the skin, but added because it’s easy to make products with, and automatically comes organic certified.

Straight away if you’re creating an organic product, you have it ready to sell, but in true dermatology terms it blocks oxygen absorbance and the pores, a key part to cell rejuvenating. On older skin i.e. 30-40+ it will drag and weigh it down, making it sag. When you see how heavy and thick it is, of course it’s going to weigh down your face/neck!

Another problem with this is, if it’s designed to be a moisturiser - and let’s face it all creams are based on being a moisturiser - then there are fundamental ingredients missing - i.e. water. It’s simply not in there! The idea of keeping the skin moisturised is based on oil and water, that’s what makes a cream. If you have ever opened a pot of Shea butter based products, you will know it contains no water. That’s like saying we can live without water! We all know this is impossible! Water is the most important item to our body, we can live without food for months but water, well were dead in days without it!
The skin is the biggest organ in the body and it needs water all the time, very little moisture gets from the inside to the surface, hence why moisturising came about in the first place. The fact you’re using an organic product but based on such ingredients is like reverting back to chemicals!

Very few people can make water based products, other companies do, but then we are back to petro-chemical products. We are different, in fact, very different!
Because our products contain just purified filtered water, natural & organic ingredients & no chemicals, a balanced mixture, just, 100% of what the skin needs.
Our formulations are completely different and our scientific expertise is beyond normal organic brands.

Experience for yourself why we are so different, and are able to create amazing results without all the harsh chemicals. Our products have taken years and years of cosmetic scientific training. In fact about 20 years of study in the sciences and 10 years in dermatology studies - That’s why you get such a special product!

Anti Oxidants & Free Radicals

It's common knowledge that some excessive lifestyle choices, such as smoking, alcohol, sun exposure & even everyday pollution cause free radicals.

Free radicals damage our cells and lead to such problems* as increased ageing, inflamatory reacions, cancer and many other illnesses. We have provided a chemical explanation about Free Radicals on the pages below, from the well known book 'Q10'.

We all hear about Anti-Oxidants and how they are good for us, but Anti-Oxidants are only found in natural, organic substances/foods. An Anti-Oxidant is basically any natural substance that is able to protect cells against Free Radical attacks. As our products are plant and vegatable based, and not petro-chemical based, they provide great anti-oxodising benefits which will give you anti-ageing & healing properties.

Just a thought - We have discussed the labelling laws for cosmetics in the UK and it is pretty obvious by now, that we know most of the products that you can buy off the shelf from any store are petro-chemical based. The next time you think about using one of these products, understand that the goodness within them, is, in our opinion, negated by the harsh chemicals they contain.

IMPORTANCE OF VITAL OILS - AMINIO ACIDS (GREEN)

Its a known fact that people in the mediteraion live longer !! In italy alone 17% longer and overall have 65% healthier lives. Jamie oliver promotes cooking with Olive Oil is tjis the secret ? Vital oils play a massive part in healing and regenerairing the skin. Amino Acids are so important for a number of reasons. please spell check.

If you go to our TOXIC TRUTH page and down load our reports you will be alarmed to see!! instead of going into your refreiderator and pulling out a natural, organic product to either consume, or apply to our skin (the largest organ in the body) what you are actually doing, is applying some harsh chemicals onto your skin that you are more liekly to find in your local car garage!

e.g. Propylene Glycol (one of many harsh chemicals, found in most products) It's purpose is to hold moisture and give it a silky feel. It's other use, is as a major ingredient in brake fluid & anti freeze. It's also used in 'that' famous Baby Lotion & Mascara!

Although the U.S.A Food & Drug administration (F.D.A) has classified Propolene Glycol as generally recognised as safe, it has been acknowledged as a neuro-toxin and shown to cause dermatitits, liver abnormalities & kidney damage in animal studies. It may also inhibate cell growth and be irritaiting to the skin (quoted from the ecologist magazine, October 2003)
