What is
Botanical Extracts Non-Inclusion Policy?
Botanical
Extracts Non-Inclusion Policy excludes all of the following
'Nasties', going right back to the raw ingredient supplier to
ensure that none of the processes, preservative systems of the base
ingredients have been contaminated with any of the
following:
|
|
Ø |
Parabens-
an antiquated system of cheap preservatives that studies have
linked with cosmetics to breast cancer tissue |
|
|
Ø |
Sulphates
/ Sulfanates, etc - may
cause skin sensitivity and impair the skin barrier
functions |
|
|
Ø |
MITs-
thought to be allergenic and cytotoxic, linked to nerve cell
death |
|
|
Ø |
Artificial
Fragrances - may
cause allergies, do cause sensitivity and photosensitivity and are
really just a cheap, uneducated alternative to the science of
aromatherapy |
|
|
Ø |
Artificial
Colours -
research suggests that they are comedogenic and sensitising and
only add beauty to the appearance of the product |
|
|
Ø |
Lanolin
/ Derivatives - may
contain pesticides, which are irritating to the pilosebaceous unit
and are an animal by-product |
|
|
Ø |
SD
Alcohol - will
cause sensitivity |
|
|
Ø |
Isopropyl
Myristate - may
cause over stimulation of sebaceous glands |
|
|
Ø |
Formaldehyde-
accepted as a human carcinogen and drying to the skin |
|
|
Ø |
Diazolidinyl
Urea - a
serious formaldehyde donor and animal by-product |
|
|
Ø |
Coal
Tars, Mineral oil -
occlusive on the skin and studies have shown these to be
carcinogenic |
|
|
Ø |
Animal
derived / by-products -
unacceptable to many religious practices, and science has now shown
them not to be as clean, effective or necessary as plant derived
ingredients |
|
|
Ø |
Testing
on animals -
Unacceptable to the conscience of most humans |

What is
the Transitional Phase?
Some
users may find that their skin takes a short time to adapt to a
range that excludes occlusive and chemical ingredients that are
used in many other ranges to purely give a product 'skin feel', but
have no skin benefit. The transitional phase is a process whereby
the skin undergoes changes as it adapts to the products, and
specifically to the non-inclusion policy. As the skin no longer has
an occlusive film over it, there is no barrier to prevent the
products availability to assist the skin's own function. Clients
can expect the transitional phase to last from 4 to 5 weeks and can
present in the following:
| |
♦ |
Adjustment
/ Change |
| |
♦ |
Breakouts
(papules / pustules), often related to old congestion |
| |
♦ |
Dryness
just after moisturising due to the lack of occlusive
ingredients |
| |
♦ |
Flaking |
| |
♦ |
Sensitivity |
It is
important to persist through this phase, as the results will be a
more healthy functioning skin that is natural and glowing. It is
the ultimate aim of using products that strive to remove the
ingestion of 'Nasties', to restore the skin's own healthy function.
This is a process that will require a little time to reverse any
previous unnatural mega dosing of the skin with unprecedented
concentrations of chemicals. The 'less is more' philosophy will
restore the healthy performance of the skin's own renewal
mechanism, by making real nourishment and protection available
while removing unnatural exposure to formulation
'Nasties'.
The
Botanical Extracts philosophy will give you healthier, younger
looking skin for much longer, without accelerating the ageing
process.

Life, you have choices...
