Natural, Organic Skincare Specialists
Our Ingredients
Whilst all our products are formulated using natural ingredients, which should not cause reactions commonly associated with products containing artificial ingredients, and we select essential oils which should be safe for all skin types, we suggest you carry out a patch test before use if you suffer with extremely sensitive skin or if you have ever suffered any reaction to any of the ingredients listed.
We have used organic ingredients wherever we can, the reason not all of our ingredients are organic is because only those ingredients grown by man under organic regulations can be called ‘organic’, ingredients such as water and those found in the wild can’t be.
