FAQs

why are store bought skin care products unhealthy for my skin?

Store bought skin care products are often chemical-based and can be harmful to your skin. They are filled with unhealthy levels of parabens, artificial fragrances, sulfates and many other harmful ingredients. These chemicals can irritate the skin and make it appear dry and damaged.

what is organic skin care?

Organic skin care is skin care that ONLY contains organic certified ingredients. These ingredients are produced without pesticides or chemicals making them organic from the start.

why is natural skin care growing in popularity?

Over the last few years, consumers have become more mindful of what they're putting in and on their body. They are becoming educated about where their beauty products come from and the practices that are used to make them.

what are botanicals?

Put simply, botanicals are ingredients that are derived from plants. They are powerful plant extracts and oils derived from flowers, herbs, seeds, nuts, roots and berries.

why is this better than brand-name skin care products?

Brand-name skin care products are often filled with harmful chemicals and ingredients that we cannot pronounce. On the other hand, organic skin care products have shorter lists of ingredients that are all made from plants and are gentler on skin while still fighting acne, wrinkles, age spots and other problem areas.

will this combat signs of aging?

Short answer, yes! We have designed skin care creams & serums in our product line specifically to combat signs of aging, including our SMOOTH face & neck seruman ultra-high intensity skin repair and anti-wrinkle botanical serum. 

if natural skin care is better for my skin, why aren't all skin care products natural?

The chemical-based skin care products oftentimes produce faster results at a steeper price. Although they may take care of wrinkles or acne quickly, the chemicals seep into your skin and cause lasting negative effects. Additionally, a lot of the chemical-based products overdry your skin, whereas natural products work better over time and are more effective at guiding the skin to its natural beauty.

will this help my eczema, rosacea and other dry skin problems?

Yes! A few of our most special ingredients are powerful moisturizers, such as golden jojoba oil, found in a number of our products, and chaga mushrooms. These ingredients are ultra-hydrators and can assist with eczema, rosacea and other dry skin problems. 

why do I need to use this in the AM and PM?

Skin's natural exfoliation process slows while you sleep, so you wake up with layers of dirt and oil on your skin. Going through your normal skin care routine in the morning gets rid of that morning dullness and reveals your new, radiant skin. Similarly, your skin needs extra hydration in the evening because it holds onto water all day then relaxes at night. That's why when doing your skin care routine in the AM and PM, it's best to add an extra hydrating serum at night.

why are you using botanicals from around the world?

The most beneficial, all-natural botanicals are not always available close by. Golden jojoba oil, rosehip oil and babassu oil, powerful healing ingredients that can all be found in our products, all come from different parts of the world, but their benefits to the skin are immense and too important to leave out. 

is there a difference between organic and natural skin care, and which one is better? 

The answer is yes and no! “Truly organic products will only contain organically certified ingredients, and have been made from plants grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers,” explains Beresford. Unfortunately, it’s virtually impossible to produce 100% organic skin care products because of the lack of commercially viable preservatives or emulsifiers.

However, a product can be 100% naturally sourced. All ingredients, including those that can help extend shelf life or help a cream be absorbed are made from something you can actually find in nature. It can still be safe and effective – especially if a company is deeply committed to using only what is good for the body.

how do I know if a product is all-natural?

Unfortunately there are many products that will call themselves natural/organic even if they only use one or two such ingredients and then blend them with potentially toxic materials.

As a consumer, you can protect yourself by reading the label and looking for certifications. You can also check websites devoted to product claims and safety. We research every ingredient in our products to ensure we have only the safest products on the market.

why are these products so much more expensive?

Natural skin care brands usually contain high quality, effective ingredients. It also replaces artificial substances that are cheaper to produce but can pose long-term health risks. Our skin care products are made from premium ingredients that go to work on protecting and replenishing your skin right away.
