Below are some of your most frequently asked questions:

What are Parabens?
Methyl and Propyl and Butyl and Ethyl Paraben — Used as inhibitors of microbial growth and to extend shelf life of products. Widely used in commercial skincare products even though they are known to be toxic. Have caused many allergic reactions and skin rashes. British researchers have found traces of parabens in tissue taken from women with breast cancer. While there is no evidence parabens cause cancer, the scientists have called for the use of parabens to be reviewed.

What does Natural mean?
A material in its 100% natural state, with the original, naturally-formed chemical bonds intact. If the material is processed for use in cosmetics, only enough energy is used to change the physical form of the substance (grinding, chopping) leaving its chemical structure unaltered. No chemical preservatives are added.

What does Organic mean?

What is Aluminium Chlorohydrate?
Aluminium Chlorohydrate, also known as aluminium chloride, is a synthetic organic chemical that is topically used under the arms as a deodorant.
Most commercial deodorants are also anti-perspirants. But what's the difference? Deodorants mask the smell of body odour, which is actually bacteria. Anti-perspirants block the pores of the skin to stop you from perspiring.
Your underarm is one of the most sensitive parts of your body. There is a large collection of lymph nodes found in the armpit area (the axilla). Their main purpose is to eliminate the body's toxic waste. If the pores have been blocked by an antiperspirant, this build up of toxins in your system can cause aggravation. Although not fully proven, it is believed that it can lead to more serious problems such as breast cancer in both men and women.
