Beware of conventional cosmetics products – Always read the label!
If the skin plays such an important role in eliminating waste and provides us with vital information about our general health and wellbeing, then the last thing we want to do is overload it with heaps of “external” toxins. Conventional toiletries and bodycare products are loaded with unnecessary chemicals and additives which are absorbed into our body through our skin. Some experts believe that 60% of what goes on our skin is absorbed – that can be anything up to 2kg of “waste” from lotions, make-up, hair products etc a year. These toxins are particularly harmful to baby skin, which is five times thinner than our own. Why choose natural, organic products?
Using skin and bodycare products made with natural, organic ingredients can give you a wonderful lift. Your skin literally quenches its thirst, drinking up the pure oils and herbs, and the beautiful aroma of essential oils heightens your senses and lightens your mood. What’s more our products leave your skin and hair looking radiant, enhancing your natural beauty. Spirit Of Nature – a name you can trust
At Spirit Of Nature we stock only highest quality natural cosmetics products because we know how important is that the products are as pure as possible. This is especially the case for baby products, which is much thinner and therefore far more sensitive than our own. We guarantee that our products have not been tested on animals and are free from many of the chemical nasties like: - petrochemical solvents – e.g. butane, propane
- petroleum, paraffin
- aluminium chlorohydrate (aluminium salt)
- titanium dioxide (white pigment used in toothpaste – suspected animal carcinogen, pollutant)
- formaldehyde (synthetic preservative)
- pesticide residues (from treated plant extracts)
- Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (foaming agent)
- synthetic fragrances
- synthetic colourants
BDIH - The Seal of Approval
“BDIH” is a German certification body (rather like the Soil Association – but purely for skincare and natural cosmetics products) that offers consumers the guarantee that the product they are using is certified natural. All products must meet very strict standards in order to carry this seal. Beware of pseudo “natural” products – many conventional products only have a hint of natural in them even though manufacturers are allowed to label them “natural”. The truth is that they are still loaded with chemicals and toxins – just read the label and you’ll see!

Natural Cosmetics– is it worth paying more?
Perhaps you have read negative reports about organic food. Sceptics will claim that it’s a whole load of "mumbo-jumbo" and just an excuse to "rip-off" the consumer with higher prices. The fact that you are reading this suggests that you don’t fully believe what the sceptics say. Natural and organic skincare products are more expensive than cheap, mass-produced conventional cosmetics products.
However, we believe it is a small price to pay for natural, good quality products which has been made with our health and the environment in mind. In the organic industry, there are no huge mark-ups. How many multi-millionaire organic farmers, manufacturers or even retailers have you seen? Surely that is the proof.
Nothing is for free and you always get what you pay or don’t pay for… so, if you buy "super cheap" cosmetics product bargains you might pay the difference with your health!
