Organic Make Up

Natural and organic make up products are becoming more popular and more brands are being developed all the time. Many people are concerned about the chemicals they use on their skin, especially in make up. Many women wear makup up on a daily basis and the long term effects or certain chemicals in these products are unknown.

Consumers are also about the negative impact that chemicals used in the production of commercial skin care products are having on the environment.

Organic Make Up

Organic make up is produced using pure and natural organic ingredients without synthetic chemicals or additives and they are not tested on animals.

Shampoos, conditioners, and skin care products often contain foaming agents which are also found in industrial cleaning products and detergents. These agents can lead to dry and irritated skin, cataracts, and dermatitis amongst other conditions. Organic body products do not contain these harsh chemicals and are therefore much safer to use.

Organic skin care products are also better for the environment as they do not contain man made chemicals which are damaging to the environment as well as to the people who make them. Using organic products also leads to less chemicals and detergents entering our waterways. Our organic skin care product range includes cleansers and moisturisers.

Organic Gardening Supply

Organic gardening supply companies can help you to create a fantastic organic garden. They can provide the supplies required to get you started quickly or to help you maintain your organic garden.

There are many elements to organic gardening but if you follow the basics then you can easily grow delicious fruit and vegetables and attractive flowers and plants.

The basics of a successful organic garden are:

  • Good quality soil
  • Crop rotation
  • Companion planting
  • Organic pest control

Good quality soil can be obtained by consistently adding organic matter to the soil. This can be in the form of mulch, well rotted animal manure, organic compost, or worm castings. You can build up your soil over time or buy organic soil from an organic gardening supply company or your local garden centre.

Crop rotation is important in the vegetable garden as it helps to reduce pests and diseases and prevent the depletion of nutrients and minerals in the soil. The idea is to plant vegetables with the same nutritional and water requirements in the same bed and then move them to a new bed the following year. The nutrients left behind will be of benefit to the next group of plants, which require different nutrients, and they won’t be affected by any diseases left behind as those diseases were targeted at the previous group of veges.

Companion planting is used to attract beneficial insects which feed on insect pests, to attract bees to help with pollination, and to attract birds which both feed on insects and pollinate plants. Companion plants also control pests due to their aroma.

Organic pest control If you have good quality soil and practice crop rotation then you will have healthy plants which will be more resistant to diseases and pests. Some organic pest control products are on the market which can be found at all organic gardening suppliers.

Organic Skin Care Products

Natural and organic skin care products and soaps are becoming more popular as people become more aware of what they use on their skin and the consequences of using products which are full of chemicals. Many people are also concerned about the negative impact that chemicals used in the production of commercial skin care products are having on the environment.

Organic Skin Care Products

Commercial soaps are generally made from synthetic detergents and often contain artificial preservatives and harsh chemicals. Why not start your day off using natural organic soaps which are based only on soap and glycerine. Glycerine is great for softening skin and the effects can be further enhanced by exfoliating with a loofah or cloth sponge.
