Aromatherapy or the study of essential oils for healing was first coined by Dr. Rene Gattefosse, in France in the 1920's after he accidentally discovered the therapeutic effects of lavender oil.

A diffuser is a small device that uses diffusion to...

There's a reason more and more people are turning to natural cosmetic and skin care these days. The harmful chemicals that are so common in virtually all off the shelf cosmetic products, even those from the biggest names in the industry, is no longer a myth to frighten people into buying natural products. More and more studies are confirming that ingredients like parabens are indeed dangerous, with strong hints towards them being carcinogenic (in other words, they can cause cancer). Parabens are artificial preservatives used in a plethora of skin care products from shampoos to face washes and lotions. Pick up any lotion next time your in the personal care section of your favorite shop or pharmacy...

There has been no response from the major cosmetics companies to the widespread call for paraben free products. What is paraben free you may be asking yourself? If you don’t know what that is then it probably means that you also have no idea how dangerous they are, or that they are not the only ingredients that are commonly used in many of the top selling cosmetics products. The call for paraben free products stems from the evidence that has been found that this family of chemicals may lead to an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer. This has been proven over the years through various scientific studies. In one such study it was discovered that these chemical actually resided...

What I am going to share with you in this article, may seem unbelievable to you - at least it seemed unbelievable to me, when I learnt it at first and I couldn't believe my own eyes - but it is true. All these so called 100% pure skincare gels, creams, lotions, potions, conditioners, serums, packs, masks, moisturizers, toners and God knows what else, may not always be safe for your skin! To stop beating around the bush, in order to earn a profit and make a quick killing, many of these skin care products use ingredients that can actually harm your skin in the long run! And this is no well kept secret as such. Many people are aware of this fact and that is why demand for organic and 100% pure skincare...

Is there something called a 100% pure skincare? This is a question that is often raised by a lot of people. And I have got to say that it is a very valid question. Skin care is a big industry. A lot of companies, including some hugely popular brands, are competing with each other to grab the biggest market share. There are many different skin care products available and there are tons of ads on TV, newspapers, magazines, and the internet. With this being the case, people are a little overwhelmed with the choices available and have difficulties choosing the best skincare. So, what is the solution? How do you find out what is a 100% pure skincare? Before telling more about that, let me first tell you...

Today we have many choices of natural body care products including those that claim to provide 100% pure skincare. When it comes to buying products to take care of your body, it makes sense to take a holistic skincare approach. So now the problem is determining what is natural and what isn't. Did you know that you cannot find a skincare product that is completely natural? The marketing hype wants you to believe that you can and that you should. However, I challenge you to find a skincare product whose ingredients are 100% natural, if you define natural as something that has not been processed. Processing by itself does not make an ingredient un-natural. When it comes to plants that make up many...

With dangerous chemicals commonly used in over the counter cosmetics there is a movement underway towards 100% pure skincare products. There has been a growing interest in holistic skincare products, but they are not as easy to find as you would think they would be. The interest in 100% pure skincare began when it was discovered a few years ago that parabens, a widely used preservative in cosmetics products, could be directly linked to breast cancer. Parabens were found actually inside of breast tumors removed from several different women. Parabens are not the only ingredients in cosmetic products that cry out for the need for holistic skincare. There are also many more chemical components that are...

I'm sure you've seen the words 100% pure skincare on hundreds of advertisements for cosmetics products, but how many times has this marketing really proven to be true? The fact is that most of the holistic skincare products that you see are simply frauds. So how do you find products that are what they claim to be? There are cosmetics manufacturers that are producing 100% pure skincare products, but they are few and far between. The fact is that you have probably never even heard of them. So why is it that you are forced to go to these smaller companies when these products could just as easily be produced by the industry giants? You may never see truly holistic skincare products from the big name...

If you wanted 100% pure skincare solutions, how would you go about finding them? What do you know about holistic skincare? What do you know about environmental toxins that affect the health of the whole body, as well as the appearance of the skin? Briefly, let me tell you about some of the things that everyone needs to know. You are probably seeing more and more organics in the supermarket. Farmers that provide organic produce must certify that they do not use chemical herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers. But, when it comes to 100% pure skincare, looking for organics won't help you. In fact, it could hurt and that's not what holistic skincare is intended to do. You see there are a number of...

Natural and 100% pure skincare is important to improve your skin. But you can't just rely on that, you need to check that the skincare products are proven to be effective too. Many natural ingredients are great for moisturizing, but in the best holistic skincare products there are ingredients with much more powerful effects. If you're looking for a skincare range that will put off the visible signs of aging, improve your skin, make you look fresher, perkier and more radiant, then look for ingredients like these: CynergyTK - This amazing ingredient has the ability to increase the production of new skin cells, collagen and elastin in your skin. It will make wrinkles slowly disappear and also improve...

In this day and age of natural products, many women (and men) are looking for 100% pure skincare. It's a great aim, since natural is almost always better. As such, it should go without saying that we all need to take a more holistic skincare approach. But the reality is that there is no such thing as a completely natural skincare product, no matter how slick the product marketing is. Here's the stark truth: even if you consider yourself a purist, it's simply not possible for every ingredient in a skincare product to be completely natural...if by natural you mean none of the ingredients have been processed. Even if you are using products derived from plants, some type of natural processing must take...

I, among many of us, have used a leading brand baby soap on my children for some time thinking that it was perfect for them, but I was terribly wrong!

Since changing to Pure and Natural Soap her cradle cap is gone…and I mean gone! Pure and Natural Soap is truly remarkable. Our son, who is 6 months old, also seemed to react...
