With over 15 different natural & organic ranges in-store & on-line, including cosmeceutical and professional ranges, we can help you find the best product for your skin. In-store & on-line skin consultations.
We choose our products using strict criteria. These include:
Quality Products & Ethical Ingredients - quality ingredients are one step toward a guarantee of potency and effectiveness. We love detail and so will pore over the ingredients list of a product to see what makes it good...or not. We will not choose products with questionable ingredients, synthetic or potentially toxic ingredients. Nor will we choose products containing animal parts or that have been tested on animals. We do our own testing around here! Some of our products contain substances made by bees such as beeswax, bee pollen, propolis and honey.
Purity - this is where natural, organic and biodynamic ingredients become important. The benefits of natural & organic ingredients are many but in particular, research has shown that the level of antioxidants and phytochemicals are higher in organically grown plants. Ingredients extracted from organic or biodynamic plants are rich in these nutrients and of course the benefits are seen and felt when used in skin treatments and everyday skin care. Antioxidants and phytonutrients are particularly important in natural skin care as they help to stop free radicals which can contribute to skin cell damage. Free radicals are created from the sun's rays, environmental pollution, electromagnetic pollution (mobile phones), the food we eat, flying, stress - and the list goes on. Using organic & biodynamic ingredients is better for your skin and better for the environment.
Effective Formulations - natural or not, the products have to be effective. It can take me a long time to evaluate new product ranges as I need to be sure that they fit the above criteria but also that they work to support and nourish skin health. Sometimes this takes a week, sometimes a month. The other factor I consider is what skin type or issue is the range for. For example Devita is a specifically anti-ageing natural skin care. Classed as cosmeceutical, this range includes ingredients such as Alpha Lipoic Acid and Japenese Green Tea. Other ranges we have such as those in the Acne Natural Skin Care Pack are healing, work to control excess sebum, and anti-inflammatory; and so contains different ingredients. I also look for ranges that have a point of difference from each other.
