The following products are available for Skin Care - General
Health Helpers
These skin care products are designed to help your body's natural defense and healing systems, using age old herbal remedies and modern scientific plant knowledge. No preparation should replace medical attention for serious ailments.
Please note that we are not qualified naturopaths. We simply have some experience with, knowledge of, and respect for herbs, essential oils and cosmetic raw materials. Many of these products were designed years ago, and their helpfulness and efficacy has been proven countless times via the feedback we have received over the years from our customers. Over this time, our respect for plant power in supporting the body's own healing processes has deepened.
Sun Screens
We are loath to use normal sunscreen chemicals such as octyl methoxycinnamate in our products as these are controversial and also irritating to those of us with sensitive skin.
We prefer to rely on safe zinc oxide as a physical barrier to both UVA and UVB rays. Micronized zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are currently controversial as there is some evidence they may cross the skin barrier. Our zinc oxide is not micronized, and we are certain our Skinsmart is safe even for babies. We have never had a sensitive skin customer have any reaction to Skinsmart.
Baby & Mother Products
We take special care to produce extremely safe products for babies and pregnant or breastfeeding mothers - when in doubt we always take a conservative view, choosing only ingredients which are completely harmless. Ingredients are also organic where possible.
Conditioners For Hair
We offer a hair & scalp treatment for dry, itchy, irritated scalp (also good for psoriasis), a liquid conditioner for normal hair in two aromas, and a solid conditioner bar (for cool weather times only).
