Skincare products. We all know what they are don’t we? They should make your skin look and feel younger and make wrinkles go away.

But what are natural skincare products? What exactly does the natural have to do with skincare products?

Yes skincare products are all about making your skin better and healthier. Sometimes these products work and sometimes they don’t.

But they’re marketed to make you believe that your skin will look younger.

But although mainstream skincare products may often not work well they can have another more serious problem. They can contain questionable, and often dangerous, ingredients that may damage your skin and your health.

This isn’t just a problem of mainstream skincare lines, it’s also a problem of many cosmetics too. I’ll give you one fast example. It’s only one example, but there’s many more, and there are entire organizations set up to combat this problem.

A recent study found lead in over 50% of lipsticks tested. Big brand lipsticks. Isn’t lead really dangerous in your system? Yup.

There’s lots more examples from cosmetics lines, personal and beauty products.

How can this be? Surely our government protects us from this? No. The FDA isnt required to test the safety of these products, or how well they work. So these companies can use them, usually because they’re cheaper than the natural alternative.

So there are many people turning to natural skincare products, and there are many new natural skincare companies taking advantage of this. So what is natural skincare?

Well there’s no definition, so what it is is hard to say. Basically its supposed to be a natural skincare line that doesn’t contain dangerous ingredients, and ideally should work well. But natural products can have their problems with dangerous ingredients too, because as with other products they aren’t tested by the FDA.

So there’s a dilemma. If big name skincare products can contain dangerous ingredients and even some so called natural products can too how do we find the best natural skincare line? One that is safe to use and works well.

There are ways to find out. I tell you on my website about the process that we use to find a natural skincare line that is both effective and safe to use. The best news is that there is a natural skincare range that is both very effective and safe to use.

There are some skincare companies that would go broke if they offered a money back guarantee on their products.

If you want to find out which natural skincare products are effective and safe to use and come with a money back guarantee visit my website to find out.

The whole point to natural skin care products is that they contain natural ingredients. Ingredients that are both naturally occurring and are safe to use. There are natural substances that are definitely unsafe to use, so the bit about safe to use in the products is an important point.

Natural Shea Butter a naturally occurring ingredient that can be found in some products that is safe to use, and highly effective. Lets look at what Natural Shea Butter is and why you should be using skin care products that have it listed in the ingredients.

Natural Shea Butter comes from the seed of the Shea Tree, which is a tree found in Africa. The fruit, or nut, is picked and then the seed is taken out and the oils extracted from the seed by means of pressure.

The resulting butter is Shea Butter and it is eaten extensively in Africa. I believe it is very good. What it is is the oils of the seed of the tree.

Why is it good for your skin? It is one of the very best naturally occurring moisturizers. One of the reasons for this is that the oils in natural Shea Butter are virtually identical to those produced by the sebaceous glands of the skin, so using natural skin care products with Shea Butter is like applying your skins own moisturizer.

Humans have treasured essential oils for their medicinal and sensory properties for thousands of years. As concentrated, precious substances, the oils and resins from aromatic plants have played important roles in healing therapies and religious worship across the globe. The effort required to reduce large masses of plant matter into oils made these liquids extremely special commodities in early civilizations. Nowhere in literature is this more apparent than in the Bible. In both the Old and New Testaments, essential oils were prized as symbols of wealth, healing, generosity and faith. From the use of cedarwood and hyssop for physical healing in the book of Leviticus, to Mary of Bethany anointing of Jesus’s feet with her life savings of spikenard in the book of John, essential oils played, and continue to play, an important role in the spiritual lives of Jews and Christians.

Steam distilling essential oils is a modern process that necessitates sophisticated technology and access to large amounts of water, two things that were unavailable in Biblical times in the Middle East. The oils we read about in the Bible were probably herbal infusions, where an aromatic plant is soaked for a long time in a more abundant oil, such as olive oil. While the exact substances may differ between what we use today and what was available 2,000 years ago, these oils still held the same cultural importance we attribute to medicinal oils. Spikenard, cassia and the other herbs mentioned in the texts were valued because of their inherent healing qualities and because they were hard to find. No matter how these oils were created, obtaining essential oils was not an easy endeavor.

The Bible lists approximately one dozen oil-creating plants by name, including aloes (also known as sandalwood), cinnamon, cedarwood, cypress, frankincense, galbanum, juniper (broom tree), hyssop, myrrh, myrtle and spikenard. It is not clear whether these plants were all used as aromatic oils during Biblical times, or whether they were used in their raw herbal form, yet a strong tradition of using these plants for healing and anointing is apparent in the many references found in the Old and New Testaments. Different resources list various numbers of Bible passages related to using these plants, and there are many opinions on whether all of the plants mentioned are the same plants we know them as today. Regardless of the wide range of opinions on the exact historical uses of these plants, it is important to note that these oils continue to be highly valued in modern aromatherapy and herbal healing, even in light of modern science.

The plants found in the Bible thrive in a dry, desert climate with limited rainfall. This sparse landscape has provided some of our most revered essential oils. The essential oils of the Old and New Testaments are derived from a number of plants, ranging from barks to flowers and berries. Cinnamon, also known as cassia, is a pungent-smelling tree bark that rolls on itself when it is desiccated. Other trees, like cedar, juniper, cypress and aloes (sandalwood), were used for wood as well as healing and religious ritual. Another beloved aromatherapy plant that grew well in the Mediterranean was myrtle, a flowering shrub. The resins – galbanum, myrrh and frankincense- also came from trees. The sticky masses were included in incense and frequently lit directly for use in rituals. These valuable substances were prized for their heavy aromas and their ability to keep for many years. Just like in Biblical times, frankincense and myrrh are still employed in instances when heightened states of spiritual awareness are desired. At last, spikenard, sometimes seen as nard, is an herb found in Asia. Treasured for its unique scent, spikenard was brought to the Mediterranean and used in perfumery.

The Old Testament contains the most references to healing plants. One of the first of these plants to be mentioned in the Bible is cinnamon. In Exodus 30:23-29, God instructs Moses to create an anointing oil made from myrrh, cinnamon, cassia, cane and olive oil. He advises Moses to place the oil on all the implements used for worship in the Tabernacle in the Wilderness, the portable alter created for worship during the Israelites’ 40-year journey in the desert. Through being anointed, the objects became transmuted into sacred vessels. The act of anointing objects and people with precious oils is carried throughout the Old Testament and can be found in the New Testament as well.

Jesus’s life history has a number of instances when essential oils were conferred on him as acts of faith and appreciation. The book of Matthew tells of the kings from the East that came to offer Jesus gifts at his birth, notably frankincense and myrrh. As we already learned, these two resins are often used in modern times to assist in spiritual work. Jesus also received gifts of spikenard from two women. The first woman cracked a jar of spikenard and poured it above Jesus’s head. The second gift-giver, Mary Magdalene, used her life savings of the same plant oil to anoint his feet. Using her hair, she then massaged the oil into his skin. These acts of faith and gratitude were seen as humble sacrifices as spikenard was a particularly expensive oil to obtain.

Biblical oils are now common features of the modern aromatherapy bouquet, helping us to heal, meditate and offer gifts in worship. Some of the oils, like myrrh and frankincense, have been used together for centuries. Our love and respect for these oils owe much to the early Jews and Christians, and Biblical references to these powerful plants continue to intrigue modern audiences. Aroma medicine as we know it today is a somewhat modern aspect of natural healing, yet the substances employed are as old as humankind. If we take the time to learn how these oils were used in centuries past, an illuminating connection can be made between plant medicine, human civilization and religious practice.

Today, many people are striving to make healthy and eco-friendly decisions to improve the health of their families. Often products we use daily such as soaps and shampoos are not given a second thought. The average consumer is unaware of the dangers that may be lurking in products they use so faithfully every day.

For example, a common item like shampoo contains chemicals that can be harmful. A large number of the synthetic ingredients found in shampoos are known carcinogens. While manufacturers claim the amounts of these chemicals are small, there are questions about how safe it is to use these products regularly. There is a risk of allergic reaction with prolonged exposure. Since shampoo comes into contact with the skin, that means the chemicals can be absorbed directly into the body. People conscious of these issues have been looking for a safe alternative to chemical based shampoos.

Organic shampoos are becoming increasingly popular because of their many benefits. First and foremost they eliminate the exposure to the harmful synthetic chemicals and alcohols found in regular shampoos. This means they can be used daily without the fear of side effects. When comparing the ingredient list from a regular shampoo to an organic one, there is a pronounced difference. Organic shampoos contain just a few natural ingredients, while a chemical based shampoo usually has a lengthy list of unpronounceable chemical names.

Some people think that using organic shampoos will not provide the results they are looking for, but that is not the case. Using all natural substances helps to moisturize and repair hair. The organic ingredients are also beneficial for the scalp since it gets pampered with natural oils and extracts. Organic shampoos contain such ingredients as coconut oil, green tea, aloe vera, chamomile, and shea butter. Treating hair with these all natural components keeps hair healthy and shiny. No chemicals needed! Also, the blending of essential oils and herbs provides organic shampoos with a pleasant, fresh scent.

When choosing an organic shampoo it is important to ensure its quality. Some shampoos brag about their natural ingredients, but they are often mixed with a chemical base. Choose a shampoo that says it is “100% organic.” When in doubt, read the label. If there are chemical additives, it is not a truly organic shampoo. There are a variety of organic shampoos on the market. However there are also recipes available for organic shampoos that can be made at home. Many people have benefited from making their own shampoo. Not only do they make themselves healthier, but they also help the environment by reducing the amount of plastic bottles that reach the landfills.

Therefore, opting for organic shampoo offers many advantages. Organic shampoos prevent you from being exposed to harsh chemicals on a daily basis. The natural essences provide great results, are gentle, and will improve the health of your hair and scalp. When choosing an organic shampoo make sure the ingredient list is composed of only natural ingredients and says “100% organic.
