All of our products are ALL natural. What does this mean?

While we all want a glowing complexion, shiny hair, and soft touchable skin, if you wouldn’t want to be eating chemicals then why put what you don’t want in your body on your body? Environmental Defence Canada estimates the average Canadian uses more than a dozen personal care products during their morning beauty routine. This adds up to over 100 different synthetic chemicals that we are putting on our body's largest organ (our skin!), before we have even had breakfast! This can cause more damage than we think as we peel, scrub and wash away our bodies natural defences. It's important to find the right balance for your skin. We are here to help! 

The word ‘natural’ gets used a lot, especially in the personal and beauty care industry for that reason here is how we define the word natural to help you make a better buying decision. The ingredients used are ‘found in nature’ meaning ingredients that have been harvested in their original form, or that can be extracted from plants or minerals i.e. beeswax or essential oils. We do not use natural ingredients that have a harmful effect on your body or the environment. This includes ingredients that have been sourced using environmentally harmful processes. In some cases, we will consider using ingredients that are found in nature but are only available when produced to be nature-identical for environmental and sustainability reasons. 

We are happy to get the opportunity to share what we have learned and made with you! 

These are the top 16 natural ingredients we use to bring you the best body care products you could possibly need or want. Thank you mother nature for providing such an amazing array of nurturing and good-for-you plants, flowers and herbs. Can’t find what you’re looking for in this list?

These volatile, rapidly evaporating oils are obtained from the leaves, stem, flower, seed or root of a plant, and usually carry the odour characteristic of the plant.  Essential Oils are used in cosmetics, aromatherapy, medicine, perfumery and flavouring. They add fragrance to natural skin care products, as well as contribute their healthful and beautifying quallities through their various abilities to tone, balance, relax, cleanse and invigorate. Although all esential oils are ‘fragrant’, not all ‘fragrances’ are essential oils. True essential oils are plant-derived.

Did you know that 85% of the more than 85,000 chemicals in use in today’s marketplace have not been tested for long-term human health impacts? Our philosophy is that if we’re not sure that something is safe over the long-haul, then why use it? Especially when there are amazing natural ingredients offered by our planet that can keep us clean, moisturized and smelling delightful.
