using Natural and Organic methods only
is the green philosophy for natural beauty and health
Go organic - because beauty is more than skin deep.
If you're concerned about the food you're putting in your mouth, maybe it's time to think about what you're putting on your skin. Your skin is the largest organ of your body and what you put on it can be absorbed in tiny amounts, it can reach the blood vessels below the skin and travel round the body. Your food and your skincare both reach every cell in your body; natural is best.
The Soil Association's
5 Good reasons to be an Organic beauty.
- Safety. Our precautionary principle means that if there is any doubt about an ingredient - it is banned - so no parabens, no phthalates and no GM ingredients
- Avoid irritation. We ban synthetic fragrances which have been found to cause on third of all cosmetic allergies and irritating foaming agents like sodium laureth sulphate.
- 'Cocktail effect'. Cut down on the products that you and your family use. Much of the concern is about the 'cocktail effect' of the chemicals in the different products that we use. Many women are using up to 20 different products a day, bombarding themselves with hundreds of different chemicals.
- Trust. Look for the Soil Association symbol on organic products to ensure that they meet our strict organic standards.
- No need to compromise. Delicious balms, gorgeous lotions and beautiful baby products are all available and perform so well, that there is no need to compromise on performance for you to become an organic beauty.
No animal origin ingredients and of course, nothing tested on animals,
oh, and no soil or earth, that's just for the Organic potatoes! :-)
just flowers, plants, seeds. nuts, fruits, berries - it's good enough to eat!

Why Organic?
Around 75,000 chemicals can come into contact with your skin and you can absorb up to 60% of any substance eaten, applied or inhaled into your blood stream, i.e. processed foods, toiletries, cleaning products. Using chemical based toiletries adds to the toxic burden that we have to deal with. It is known that an average woman can absorb up to 2kg of chemicals through her skin into her blood stream each year, just by applying ordinary skincare products. Not to mention inhaling all those artificial perfumes.
We know that chemicals can pass through the skin; this is why HRT and Nicotine patches work.
Many synthetic ingredients irritate the skin and cause skin allergies to develop. It makes sense to use the purest of ingredients now that they are available. This is why THE SOIL ASSOCIATION has certification standards for beauty products, in addition to their good work for food production standards.
Decrease the toxic burden on your body and on the environment, by simply using Organic and natural ingredient toiletries. Perhaps you'll add natural cleaning products too; Ecover is good, it's just a case of changing habits. The chemicals in your blood stream and in the countryside's streams and rivers will be measurably improved.
The UK natural and organic skincare industry is currently growing and is catching up with the Organic food industry, as consumer awareness grows of the benefits of natural ingredients, rather than harmful synthetics. Especially for you, we gather the latest news and best products, from the huge annual skincare and foods Trade show: NATURAL & ORGANIC PRODUCTS SHOW, LONDON.
2008 is a pivotal year for new EU uniformity, in natural ingredients toiletries packaging identification. This means a new Logo to identlfy what is REALLY natural. So it will be easier to tell if a product in your local shop is just "green-washing" you into believing it's 100% natural, when in fact the only natural thing may be the 3 drops of essential oil mentioned in the product title, distracting you from the long list of chemicals on the back of the pack. Become discerning, don't be green-washed by attractive advertising.
THE BAD NEWS IS un-natural synthetic ranges rely upon the consumer's ignorance of chemical names and ostrich head-in-the-sand attitude that "it can't be that bad, can it?" Well yes, it is that bad, but soon we won't be lagging behind Canada and other countries in terms of natural skincare., we'll become aware.
THE GOOD NEWS IS we are catching up, and we can become a healthier nation
and match our skincare to our genuine nationwide appreciation and enjoyment of organic food.
What on earth are all those chemical names anyway?
Take a glance at the ingredients list on your current family bathroom toiletries.
It's easy to look them up in one of the 3 Ambience Cosmetic ingredients dictionaries.
Shop bought products and TV advertising can give the mis-leading impression of being natural by using descriptive words such as "pure", "simple" and "natural", yet they usually include a long list of synthetic ingredients such as SLS (foaming agent,) parabens (preservatives: found in breast tumours,) artificial perfumes and colours (E numbers) and that amounts to just a few hundred for starters.
So why not cut down on your body's (your liver's) burden of needless chemicals flowing around your bloodstream to every cell in your body.
Thank goodness effective modern skincare can be made without these.
