“You can fool all the people all the time if the advertising is right and the budget is big enough.” Joseph Levine

You love your department store perfume, whitening toothpaste and tropical body lotion and may wonder why the ‘bleep’ you even have to read skin care ingredient labels?  Yet, trust me on this, you do need to read labels!

Many skincare products make claims which are not backed up by good quality ingredients, in fact they contain many synthetic chemicals that you likely did not know were there.  Grab the free report if you want to know more.

I have put together a list of items that are great quality organic ingredients (often fully certified to food grade standards) which WORK and don’t have endocrine disruptors (messes your hormones and can lead to weight gain), carcinogens (cancer causing) or toxic ingredients.

It is now possible to look radiant without toxic synthetic chemicals, honest!

La Bella Figura Beauty

La Bella Figura Beauty

Argan oil not only nourishing but healing for the skin, their exquisite Tesaro is one of my favourite oils for the face.  The smell is refreshing and relaxing but it also rejuvenates the skin brilliantly.

Argan oil is rich in natural vitamin E and the Decoverte eye serum is rich in barbary seed oil, coffee bean and tomato seed oil too.  This makes Découverte one of the best natural anti-aging fighters you can use to look like you have had the best night’s sleep of your life! (Sleep helps too!).

La Bella Figura makes products with the latest pure-plant ingredients known for their effectiveness.  Simply, why use chemicals when nature does it better?

 Miessence

I have used Miessence cleanser, toothpaste & deodorant for four years now.  Miessence is made in small batches and is very potent.  Certified organic to food grade standards the Miessence ingredients are 100% beneficial, i.e. if an ingredient is in the bottle it’s good for your skin.

Fresh aloe vera, herbs and essential oils, nourish, refine & care for your skin, naturally.

Honesty clause:  I am an independent representative with Miessence as I loved their products so much that I wanted to be able to offer customers the very products I have found worked well for me.  You can get 20% off Miessence for life, with a Lifestyle Member order.

Ora Wellness

A little bottle of Ora Wellness contains a big amount of essential oils and natural herbs that are known to look after the teeth; myrrh, cinnamon, clove, peppermint, spearmint & manuka in a base of almond oil.  This brushing blend is organic, safe and free from any synthetic chemicals.  The bass brushing technique also ensures you care for your gums, improve the breath and have happy teeth.

Jiadé Cosmetics

Certified organic to food standards & made in BC.

Jiadé Cosmetics are the first USDA Certified line of organic skinc care produced in Canada, based in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia.

These skin care products are fully certified organic to food grade standards.  I recently was fortunate to meet Eva the formulator of these exceptional skincare products and have been enjoying the way my skin feels using the Night Cream. Eva is passionate about high quality ingredient sourcing.

I particularly like the cleanser which has clays and castile soap, it is cleansing but not drying as it has raspberry seed oil to nourish your skin.  The toner I have used is the lavender toner which is very soothing for the skin and calming for the mind.

Nothing Naughty Naturals

Keep your largest organic synthetic chemical free.  Nothing Naughty Naturals sell mud based shampoos, I use the sultry spice mud shampoo and it leaves my hair clean, soft and nourished.  It may sound odd, scary even, the idea of using mud on your hair but it is a great detox and a very effective way to rid your hair of the plastic polymers that many regular shampoos and conditioners have! Based in Alberta means Canadians can order without customs duties.  They have a certified organic skin care range.  Why not get your Nothing Naughty Natural on?

Radiant Life Catalogue

Radiant Life is run by a family who are committed to bringing you the very best in healthy products, celtic sea salts, healthy fats and oils, superfoods, detoxification products and earthing mats to name a few!  I love their catalogue, the challenge is not to spend too much!  Traditional items like cod liver oil, celtic sea salt are natures superfoods and you need nourishing foods to live a vibrant life.   Ask any elderly person, 80′s or so, if they took cod liver oil, they’ll likely reply ‘oh yes, always.’  Maybe we could learn from them?

BeClean Naturally

Be clean naturally

Soaps, balms and yummy salves made with love & organic ingredients and no nasties whatsoever.  The soaps are superb & my favourite is ‘sexy’ with ylang ylang essential oil.  My cuticles in winter are happy due to the baby belly balm, who says cuticles can’t use belly balm!

Kirsten, who makes the soaps, says “I am thankful for this beautiful earth we share and the clean water we drink and bath in.  Please be mindful when you make choices as a consumer. Buy close to home and consider your impact before you make your choice. Do your research and ask lots of questions.”  Wise words indeed.  Buy online today!

Soap Tree Studio

Soap Tree Studio soaps are made with coconut oil, sunflower oil, unrefined shea nut butter & pure essential oils, so as you might imagine their soaps smell great (that’s the real essential oils!) and lasts ages.  It also does not go goey when in a soap dish!  As Christine, creator of the soaps says “no shelf lengthening chemicals, no added extra junk, beauty you couldn’t find in a box.”  These soaps are hand made and if you are stuck for a great present or just want good old fashioned soap for the modern woman, I’d contact these soap experts!

Tamanu nut oil is one of nature’s great skin healers.  It can assist with rejuvenation and also it is very rich in antioxidants, the oil absorbs quickly and easily and can be used on spots, cuts, scarring, age spots, wrinkle lines, sunburn, insect bites and stretch marks.  The choices are endless for tamanu nut oil traditionally used in the South Pacific Islands.

 Sacred Mountain Lavender

Organically grown British Columbian lavender, that having smelt it & cherish the bottle I have, it really is special.  They grow Lavandula angustifolia (English type) and French lavender varieties and it really is personal preference which one you like.                                                                    Lavender essential oil is a very calming oil, great for sleep, stress nervous tension, as well as being antibacterial by nature.    You can buy lavender essential oil online from their webstore.

Loose leaf herbal and black teas are delicious, they have been drunk and enjoyed for years and I know why, they taste good and warm the heart!  I find I drink so much more tea now that I have this ingenious cup with a strainer in the lid & a beautiful see-through design.  Nettle tea is particularly high in iron and peppermint tea is great for the eyesight, what herbal tea do you choose?

Chaga Mushroom

A very high antioxidant, the Chaga mushroom grows on the birch trees in Siberia.  I was introduced to this by a friend who has used Chaga for a while and noticed that she was experiencing dramatically increased levels of energy and her body was detoxing, a good thing as we live in quite a toxic world!   Chaga is thought to be an adaptogenic herb, which means that it is well suited to fight stress in the body.
