Whilst researching a natural and eco friendly wormer for my dog I came across diatomaceous earth. Digging a bit deeper I found that this is some kind of “wonder” product meaning it can be used for all sorts of ailments and parasitic prevention as well as human consumption (food grade version). It seems to benefit not only animals but also humans in that it can lower cholesterol. Furthermore it can be used as an extremely mild abrasive for example in toothpaste and as a facial scrub. It is totally bio degradable, non toxic (as with all food type supplements one has to follow instructions…) and very effective if used correctly. It is organic and 100% vegan. It contains amongst other minerals and trace elements silica which has proven benefits for healthier skin and nails as well as bones.
Having read extensively about this product I have now ordered a 200 gram jar and shall be putting this to the test over the next few weeks. I shall report back with my findings…
Our popular and very effective Seaweed Aloe Gel for Blemish Skin
We are introducing bigger saver sizes for some of our most popular skincare. It is not only more eco friendly but also more economically viable for all of you who like our creams, lotions and potions and want to stock up and be able to refill into smaller jars and bottles. There are some very good discounts available on the larger sizes. Keep and eye out on the Uncover Me Cleansing Oil, the Organic Shea & Aloe Face Cream, the Juvenessence Lotion, The Shea Butter and Cocoa Lotions, the Seaweed Aloe Gels, the African Liquid Soaps, our fabulous Shea Butter Hair Conditioners for Problem Hair and many more to be added over the coming weeks.
We will be switching from black lotion pumps to clear flip top caps on our shampoos, conditioners, liquid soaps and lotions. this may not be the most hip designer look but the caps are more environmentally friendly than the pumps (i.e. the caps are 100% recyclable) and they are 99% leak proof when sending out products or if you want to take the bottles with you when travelling. Pumps have a habit of snapping open and when you want to lock a bottle you loose product because you have to press the pump down and turn it. Tedious at the best of times and rather frustating more often than not! Great looking though and practical for home use – which is why we are offering the pumps for purchase separately.
There is a new 5ml pump dispenser that we want to offer – ideal when travelling or if you want to take a cream or lotion with you in your handbag but haven’t got the space to lug large bottles and jars around with you. You may also purchase either 25ml or 50ml PET bottles that come with a secure phenolic cap 9so product doesn’t spill out) – these are ideal for when you go on holiday for 1 up to 3 weeks. Just use a funnel and dispense your preferred lotion or shampoo/wash/soap into the smaller bottle, cap it and job done.
Our organic aloe and shea face cream as well as our aloe vera gels will be offered in 50ml white fully recyclable and airless jars. This is far more hygenic than dipping your finger into the cream or gel and leaves it fresher for longer – less contamination which means a longer shelf life without the need for allergy causing preservatives! Fantastic.
