Organic cosmetics
 'If you wouldn't want to eat it, don't put it on your skin' - a maxim
that many beauty therapists will be familiar with, and one that makes
a great deal of sense when you consider that anything you put on your
skin will be absorbed into your body.
So, if you have the time, energy and enthusiasm, consider making your
own organic cosmetics and toiletries. All you need is a few common ingredients
(organic, of course), a few recipes, a little time and away you go.
For example, a little honey, yoghurt and oatmeal combined can provide
a very invigorating facial scrub. We've all seen pictures of women with
slices of cucumber over their eyes - refreshing and toning. Chamomile
is well known for enhancing the highlights in blonde hair. Honey has a
wide variety of uses, one of which is as a very effective moisturiser.
These form just very few of the possibilities. Tea Tree oil is a well
known antiseptic that can be used to treat minor skin blemishes such as
spots. Hemp oil is making a comeback in a wide range of beauty and personal
hygiene products, largely because of its moisturising properties.
There are a range of sources that can provide recipes for the full range
of hair, face and body care products, including books, websites and beauty
courses. If you come across anything that you think is outstanding, please
let us know - we'd love to include it on this site.
Below is a list of organic cosmetic retailers selling organic cosmetics. Aromantic provide training courses which teach you how to make your own organic cosmetics.
