Your face is so important; it’s what everybody sees when they form a first impression of you.  Beautiful skin shows that you care about presentation and your appearance and gives you confidence, so the products you use need to be special, just like you are.  Natural skin care looks after your skin, letting its innate radiance shine through.

These days many of us are turning to an organic diet because we want the best and purest nutrition for our bodies so using natural skin care products is the obvious choice for skin.  Think about it: you avoid dangerous chemicals and additives in your food, so it makes sense to do the same when selecting your skin care.

Using natural skin care means that you are not polluting your skin with chemicals that could damage it, because the ingredients in natural skin care are healthy, used not by companies for their low prices, but because they are best for your skin.  Did you know the up to 60% of anything you put on your skin can be absorbed by it?  That’s why it’s vitally important to check the labels and be sure you’re happy with what you’re using on your skin – the body’s largest organ.

A great natural skin care routine, including the key elements of cleanser, toner and moisturiser, means you will have a healthy, glowing complexion, with skin that’s ready for anything!  You might think people with great looking skin are lucky but the chances are they care for it with natural skin care.  Why not become one of the lucky ones too!

The next time you think about skin care, remember to think of it as what it is: food for your skin.  Make sure you are happy with what you’re feeding your skin and always choose a healthy, natural product to give your skin the care it needs.

Dear Ethical Junction readers,

This month I’m going to tell you about my hand-made, irresistible and scrumptious Organic White Chocolate Truffle Moisturiser.

This is a delicious, decadent moisturiser with a unique and natural aroma of White Chocolate Truffles. Indulge your skin and your senses in this luxury spread for your face and your body.

Contains organic Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil and extracts of Cocoa and pure Bourbon Vanilla – to spoil, pamper and excite.

Contains no mineral oils, parabens, silicones, emulsifiers or other man-made chemicals.

As all my other organic creations, this moisturiser is made without any added water, so a little bit goes a long way. You get 100% active ingredients that work wonders for dry, sensitive and damaged skin from the moment you open the jar.

I use only the finest, certified organic ingredients to make this wonderful moisturiser – here they all are, with nothing to hide.

Ingredients: Vitellaria Paradoxa (Shea Butter)*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut Butter)*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Oil)*, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary Extract)*, Vanilla Planifolia (Vanilla Extract)*, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa Extract)

*Denotes Certified Organic Ingredients

About my ingredients:

► Shea Butter: Research has shown that Shea is effective in treating and alleviating the symptoms of dry and sensitive skin, eczema and psoriasis. It is naturally moisturising and readily absorbed by the skin.

► Jojoba Oil: Increases the overall health of the skin, particularly its elasticity and strengthens the epidermis.

► Coconut Butter: When absorbed into the skin and connective tissues, it helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by helping to keep connective tissues strong and supple.

Here is what my customers are saying about the Organic White Chocolate Truffle Moisturiser:

-”My skin feels of silk and looks as smooth as a babies bum”
-”This is the most awesome Shea Butter and Jojoba oil product I have ever used”
-”This cream is totally amazing, a little goes a long way and smells divine. I love it!!!”

MuLondon – Natural Organic Skincare signs The Compact for Safe Cosmetics and receives full membership status, proving that divinely fragranced and effective skincare products can also be safe and free from toxic ingredients.

The Compact for Safe Cosmetics is part of a campaign that works to improve the safety of cosmetics and personal care products on the market. It is founded by The Environmental Working Group, Breast Cancer Fund and Friends of the Earth, among others. The idea behind The Compact is that by having companies committing to providing better information about their product ingredients, consumers can make informed decisions when they go shopping for cosmetics and skincare products. One of The Compact’s primary goals is to eliminate harmful chemicals from cosmetics and personal care products.

Signing The Compact for Safe Cosmetics is a natural step for MuLondon – Natural Organic Skincare, since the whole philosophy behind MuLondon is to make safe, effective and natural moisturisers without any preservatives or toxic ingredients that can harm the body or the world we live in.

All MuLondon products are guaranteed 100 percent natural, vegan, free of preservatives, and, of course, never tested on animals and contain no animal products. They only contain reliable, tested ingredients such as Jojoba oil and Shea butter that are safe to use on a daily basis, and natural fragrances such as Lavender, Rose, and Marigold that won’t irritate even the most sensitive skin. Certified organic ingredients are used whenever possible.

To this date, more than 1,300 companies have signed The Compact for Safe Cosmetics, but only 250 are fully compliant. MuLondon is one of the 250 fully compliant companies and receives zero hazard rating for all its products. That is the safest rating any product can get and means that MuLondon is among the safest skincare choices out on the market.

In other words, the many women and men out there who have grown used to pampering their skin with MuLondon’s moisturisers and can’t imagine giving them up, don’t have to. They can safely continue using them without having to worry for their own health or the well-being of the planet. MuLondon’s products can be used with a clean conscience.

Boris Zatezic, founder of MuLondon says: “I am delighted to be a signer of The Compact for Safe Cosmetics, and proud that we have achieved full membership status and zero hazard rating for all MuLondon products. Having safe and effective skincare has always been the driving force behind MuLondon, and this proves publicly how committed I am to delivering that.”

At www.OVnaturals.co.uk we try to offer a balanced view while adhering to our strict standards and ethics. Increasingly, consumers are asking questions about the products they use on their skin. What exactly is ‘natural’ and ‘organic’? Is synthetic always bad? Is it realistic to try and avoid all chemicals? Here’s a summary of what we’ve discovered…

There’s no such thing as a chemical-free life, as chemicals make up all living things. Not all chemicals are bad, for example, essential oils contain complex naturally-occurring chemicals with active therapeutic benefits when used correctly. When used incorrectly, these ingredients may be harmful. 
 
Safety is often determined by dose. Just a small amount of pure Eucalyptus oil, if ingested, can be fatal, however, when used in the correct dosage this is one of the most effective essential oils to ease catarrhal conditions. Likewise, drinking too much water can kill you but we all know that water is good for us, indeed, necessary for life.
