Q. Why do we use all natural ingredients?

A.   From our research we have learned that many of the chemicals used in today’s body care products are toxic and

can cause harm to the body. We know that up to 60% of products put on the skin are absorbed into the body.

“Why would anyone want to absorb these chemicals into their body,” we asked ourselves? We don’t believe that

they would want to if they were aware of the potential problems chemical ingredients can cause. We believe that by

offering consumers an all-natural choice, and by making them aware of the potential problems that synthetic

chemicals can cause, we are allowing them to make an informed decision. We believe that the use of all-natural

products is highly beneficial for the mind, body and spirit.

Q. How do we determine that our ingredients are all natural?

A. We thoroughly check out all our suppliers before we purchase any ingredients from them. They are required to

submit a Certificate of Analysis with full details regarding the exact composition of their ingredient, and where it was

sourced. This enables us to have full control over the ingredients we use in our products.

Q. Why do we use coconut surfactant rather than Sodium Laureth/Lauryl Sulphate?

A. Firstly Sodium Laureth/Lauryl Sulphate are synthetic products so we don’t use them. They are used as industrial

degreasers, so as you might imagine they are highly irritating to the skin. They strip the skin of moisture and are

often used in combination with DEA in an attempt to reduce irritation, unfortunately they can then become

contaminated with nitrosamines which are known carcinogens. We spent a long time searching for a safe, natural

foaming agent to use in our products. Finally we found an ingredient that was created naturally using coconut oil, so

it gently cleanses the skin without irritating it like Sodium Laureth/Lauryl Sulphate or Ammonium Lauryl Sulphate can.

Q. How do we preserve our products without using chemicals?

A. There are several all-natural ingredients which act as preservatives. These include rosemary extract, benzoin and

vitamin E. In addition to these ingredients we use our own all-natural paraben free preservative blend.

Q. What is the serum and why would I want to use it?

A. The serum is designed to be used after cleansing and toning and before moisturizing. Because of its light texture it

absorbs quickly into the skin and is suitable for all skin types. Our serum has amazing anti-oxidant and anti-wrinkle

properties. It contains carrot seed oil as well as vitamins A, B5, C and E, which are all excellent ingredients for fighting

the signs of aging.

Q. Why should I use a natural room spray?

A. Commercial room fresheners are full of synthetic chemicals which are often used to “mask” odours rather than getting rid of them. Our room spray utilizes the deodorizing powers of essential oils and pure grain alcohol. This means our room sprays won’t affect your normal sense of smell.

Q. Natural grain alcohol – how is it different from regular alcohol?

A. Isopropyl alcohol acts as a carrying and antifoaming agent as well as a water and oil solvent. It dries quickly, and if

synthetically produced is carcinogenic, mutagenic, toxic, and can cause adverse reactions. It is extremely drying to

the skin. Natural grain alcohol is naturally produced so it has a different chemical composition that is gentler on the

skin.

Q. What do we use in our deodorants to make them effective?

A. We use baking soda, witch hazel and essential oils that fight odour-causing bacteria. This means that our deodorants will work effectively and naturally without containing any toxic ingredients such as Aluminium.

Q. Why don’t we use fragrance in our products?

A.  Fragrance can contain up to 4000 separate chemicals, most of them synthetic. There are no regulations that

require companies to list the components of their fragrances. This means that toxic components can be included

without the customers knowledge. Fragrance is also one of the most common skin irritants. It often causes dermatitis

and allergies when it comes into contact with the skin. Because of our commitment to natural products we do not

use any fragrance. We believe that essential oils are the best way to create beautiful scents without the risk of

negative side effects.

Q. What gives our products their scent?

A.  We rely mainly on essential oils to provide scent for our products. The amazing thing about essential oils is that (unlike synthetic fragrance) they not only smell good but they also provide therapeutic benefits to the mind, body and spirit. Essential oils are true reflections of nature, they vary slightly with each season, depending on the weather and conditions in which the plants were raised.

Q. What is so special about essential oils?

A. They are potent pure plant extracts that are easily absorbed by the skin and work with the skin to provide

maximum benefits. They target problem areas efficiently and naturally. The essential oils used in our products are

therapeutic grade, so not only do they smell great, but they have a multitude of other benefits.
