Question 1

Why choose Organic skincare?

Accepted Answer

Here are 7 reasons for choosing Organic skincare 1) Synthetic ingredients & man-made chemicals with long term use can cause Skin irritation, hormone imbalance and cancer. 2) Organic ingredients are natural & grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers & GMO’s. So, your body will only absorb real natural ingredients that aren’t harmful. 3) Non-Allergenic: without harsh chemicals, skin care products are less likely to cause allergic reactions, inflammations or irritations. If an allergic reaction does occur, it would be most likely due to a natural ingredient such as strawberries or peanuts which would be easier to identify. 4) Organic skin products work better. Plants grown organically contain higher levels of vital antioxidant vitamins & minerals and their ingredients are free of contamination which means the same for your body. Moreover, 95% of our products are active ingredients. In synthetic skin care active ingredients make up only 5 to10% of its contents. 5) Going Organic is better for your skin long term Synthetic ingredients found in non-organic products may be fast acting, but they are also invasive and cause harm that cannot be seen. Instant gratification & visible results but most of these only help you aesthetically, smoothing out wrinkles, removing sunspots & blemishes. With prolonged use, chemicals may damage & weaken your skin as your body tries to cope with these foreign substances. Oxygen exchange is reduced causing premature aging and increased risk of developing sunspots. Using ORGANIC skincare ensure you get the real, nutritional benefits from its ingredients to nourish, strengthen, moisturize, and promote smooth skin. Even though results may be slower, organic skincare products are gentle on the skin and won’t harm you in the long run. 6) Supporting cruelty free skin care products: The beauty industry has received a lot of backlash for conducting animal testing for their products to ensure they are safe for humans, Organic products don’t need to, because with natural ingredients they are safe & harmless. Supporting the move towards abolishing animal testing in the industry. 7) No harmful footprint on the planet. Since there are no harsh chemicals in these products, there is significantly less waste and toxins going down the drain and back into the earth.

How do I use the Hyaluronic Serums?

Accepted Answer

It's extremely important and essential that the Hyaluronic Serums be applied on very damp skin. We recommend using our REFRESH hydrosol flower waters mister. You can also use filtered or distilled water. Chemically treated water should be avoided as chemicals used to treat the water would be absorbed into the dermis.  Hyaluronic Acid pulls the moisture from the surface of the skin, then penetrates deep into the dermis.
