Welcome: Shampoos (2 OF 5)

Shampoos

Pick a cheap bottle of shampoo up off your supermarket shelf, and read the label. You may find that, even in those calling themselves natural, everything's written in 'Latin', and there may be as many as 40 or more ingredients listed. Most, if not all, of these will be synthetic chemicals; some may be carcinogenic. Just try 'Googling' them for their definitions!  You might be put off by the number of ingredients alone, but unless you are a chemist or otherwise 'in the know' you could be forgiven for thinking that your shampoo was harmless, good for you, and good for the environment.

But you'd be wrong!

The main problem with most industrial shampoos is that they are made from detergents produced from the by-products of petrol production from crude oil.  These detergents are bad for the scalp as they interfere with the skin's normal activity. They can also damage the hair and are bad for the environment too.

Have you ever thought of using a solid shampoo bar?

Our shampoo bars are handmade and use traditional methods of production which are slow and gentle.  We do not use any preservatives in our soaps or shampoo bars as many of our customers are intolerant to these.  So we can justly claim that our shampoo bars are the purest you can buy.

The benefits of using our shampoos

  • No more spills - our shampoo bars come in an easy-to-use bar, good for taking away on holiday or travelling - They make excellent soaps in their own right.
  • You will benefit from the natural conditioners in the oils we use - no need for a separate conditioner.
  • You can safely use our shampoo bars on babies over three months - but of course keep away from eyes and other sensitive areas
  • You can be sure you're getting an environmentally-friendly product - the shampoo bars are completely biodegradable and our packaging is made from recycled materials, cut and printed locally
  • You can be secure in the knowledge that all our shampoo bars are cruelty-free - approved by the Vegan Society

"I was recently home from New Zealand and visiting my parents who had one of your Nettle Marshmallow & Rosemary Shampoo Bars. I just wanted to write to say how fantastic I thought it was. I was rather sceptical about using a 'bar of soap' to wash my hair, however, I was incredibly impressed and infact I chose to use it everyday for the rest of my 3 week holiday, making my (long) hair feel incredibly (and surprisingly) soft and shiny!" (Nicola, now living in New Zealand).

Welcome: Why Choose to go Natural and Organic? (1 OF 5)

Why Choose Natural and Organic?
 
Research has shown that up to 60% of what we put on to our skin is absorbed into the bloodstream. This is why medication in the form of patches, like Nicotine or Hormone replacement, works so well!
 
The synthetic ingredients present in a lot of cosmetic brands today are absorbed into the bloodstream in the same way. This is worrying as there has a been suggestion that with prolonged or heavy use, some of these may be carcinogenic (causing cancer) or interfere with vital hormone regulation. They are also more likely to cause allergic reactions to those with sensitive skin and in babies and children.
 
By choosing Natural and Organic in our beauty and personal care products we can at least reduce the amount of harmful chemicals we and our families are absorbing, thus contributing to a healthier lifestyle.
 
Also, it is well known that Organic farming is much less harmful than non-organic, as it produces less pollution and toxic waste. So you'll be helping the environment too by buying products made from organic plant oils!
 
 "After watching a programme on the BBC I got so concerned by the synthetic and chemical ingredients in what I used to buy that I decided to go natural. I was so pleased when I found your site. Not only were your products 100% pure and organic but they had none of the nasty chemicals like Parabens that you find in deodorants and other things on the shelves today. I have total peace of mind using Essentially Natural products", Ann Cannon, Lancashire.
