Let’s get proper into it. (& keep tuned for a particular code on the finish of the put up).
♡♡♡
When my third son (I’ve three sons and a daughter) was a new child, he was discovered to have excessive ranges of aluminum and parabens (plastics) in his system. Seems, what I used to be placing on my physique with deodorants and physique lotions was getting into my system and in flip, his breast milk. That day, I researched selfmade deodorant recipes and stored a bowl of baking soda combined with coconut oil beneath my rest room sink.
Quick ahead six years: I owned a small health studio for ladies and I made some lip balm and physique scrub as promotional gadgets for the gymnasium. These gadgets had been observed by the ladies on the studio and realizing I used to be additionally making my very own deodorant, they requested merchandise for themselves. They turned out to be the most effective check marketplace for my deodorant and the merchandise advanced into what’s now Ok’pure Naturals. Now not making the merchandise in my kitchen, you will discover us on-line and in over 300 retail shops throughout North America!
I’ve discovered loads within the twelve years since I first made clear merchandise for myself and my household. Right here’s what retains me utilizing and producing merchandise containing naturally-derived elements and important oils.
Why Important Oils & Pure Merchandise Are Key:
♡ What you place in your physique is simply as necessary as what you place in your physique.
Our pores and skin is our largest organ and it’ll soak up all the elements we apply. This implies skincare, physique lotion, deodorant and sure, even make-up!
Do you know: the typical lady consumes 4 to 9 kilos of lipstick/lip balm in her lifetime?
♡ Recognizing and with the ability to pronounce the elements in your skincare retains you in command of what enters your physique.
Study to learn the lists in your merchandise. It’s possible you’ll be shocked at what number of chemical compounds and fillers are in your favorite merchandise.
Do you know: the time period “pure” isn’t regulated, which is another excuse to be an advocate for your self and taking the time to learn ingredient lists to acknowledge them.
♡ Utilizing pure important oils as a substitute of synthetic perfume not solely prevents undesirable complications and potential well being points, they only scent higher!
Study to correctly dilute important oils when diffusing at house, and at all times test ingredient lists for unnatural fragrances, particularly those who comprise phthalates and parabens.
Do you know: you’ll want the peels from 25 giant oranges to make a teaspoon of orange important oil. Orange important oil is without doubt one of the greatest smelling oils in my view, and some of the cheap to purchase. Bear in mind, irrespective of how good they scent, by no means ingest oils.
♡ Clear, pure elements will be simply as efficient, if no more efficient, than artificial elements.
Relating to caring for your pores and skin, a protracted record of elements doesn’t assure higher outcomes. Assume natural shea butter, natural calendula oil (we infuse our personal calendula petals into natural oil for extremely hydration and pores and skin therapeutic) and candy almond oil for moisturizing pores and skin head to toe.
Do you know: tip is to use a beneficiant layer of your favorite plant-based moisturizer or balm (I take advantage of our Repair It restore balm) to dry heels and toes earlier than mattress. Cowl with a pair of cotton socks to lock in moisture, and to maintain your sheets clear, and get up to clean, hydrated toes! The identical will be finished on dry fingers, utilizing a pair of cotton gloves.
♡ Pure merchandise are usually higher for the surroundings than artificial merchandise.
The nearer the elements are to their pure state, the higher they are going to be accepted again into the surroundings. Issues like nut butters and oils can be absorbed again into the earth, the place the method of producing and disposing of elements like parabens and phthalates, will trigger hurt to mom nature.
Do you know: okay’pure doesn’t use outer packaging with any of our merchandise as an extra step to scale back pointless waste.
♡ Clear elements and most pure skincare should not examined on animals.
At all times test that the model you might be supporting is cruelty-free, however when the merchandise comprise solely clear, pure elements, you possibly can really feel assured realizing that animals weren’t subjected to testing of chemical compounds and unnatural elements.
Do you know: lavender important oil, when used responsibly (not ingested or utilized topically undiluted), is nice for calming canine. A favorite of ours (and Lauryn’s) is our Settle Down spray and diffuser oil.
♡ Clear merchandise will be multipurpose.
When merchandise are clear, with straightforward to learn ingredient lists, you’ll discover they can be utilized for greater than what they’re marketed for. Once we began promoting our natural child wash, Sleepy Time, we stored listening to from mothers who cherished utilizing it as their nighttime facial cleanser! This implies clear magnificence for the entire household with no need a cluttered counter of merchandise!
Do you know: advertising and marketing has led us to imagine that we’d like a unique product for each a part of our physique, and for various occasions of the day. Our Drenched whipped face and physique butter is a superb instance of natural elements mixed to supply deep hydration, head to toe!
♡ Pure merchandise are often undiluted and concentrated, which means just a little can go a good distance, which additionally makes them simpler in your pocketbook.
When merchandise are free from unnatural fillers and water, you possibly can management how a lot is utilized. For instance: apply a concentrated physique butter to damp pores and skin. This enables the butters and oils to be absorbed into pores and skin and far much less product is used.
Do you know: the typical lady places 168 chemical compounds on her physique every day!
A very powerful a part of wellness is training. Take the time to be taught in regards to the values of the manufacturers you select to assist, the elements they use and discover merchandise that work greatest for you and your loved ones.
