Glass for natural skincare products

One of the factors affecting my decision to buy a botanical or organic skin care product is the packaging.  I’m not talking about pretty or classy packaging.  Rather, I’m referring to how the product is stored which determines if the integrity of natural ingredients are better preserved.   

Some years ago a beauty therapist told me that glass bottles, jars and vials are better in protecting the ingredients of natural skincare products.  Apparently, glass is good as it increases the shelf life, prevents light degradation and engergizes organic or botanical ingredients. In addition, glass containers ensure no biochemical integration.

Alternatives to synthetic fragrance

I don’t use perfume but I’m a sucker for scented products.  Sniffing is probably one of the first things I do when testing a product.  Those that smells good usually get my attention.  But fragrance in a product isn’t always good news especially if they’re of synthetic formulations.

According to Safecosmetics.org, synthetic fragrances can contain chemical compounds with harmful ingredients such as neurotoxins, allergens and phthalates, which have been linked to reproductive problems, early puberty in girls, and breast cancer.  This is why fragrance is always single out as a major culprit when a product is considered as unsafe and is always listed as an ingredient to avoid if possible.

Pure Whipped Shea Butter Delight

Pomegranate Shea Butter Whipped

Shea Radiance Pomegranate Whipped Body Butter with 100% premium Shea Butter is just heavenly.  I’m sure Angelina Jolie who said she loves giving herself a good rub of delicious scented body lotion so that she’ll smell good to her partner will enjoy using this.  The rich, velvety mix of whipped creamy Shea Butter combined with the essence of fresh fruity pomegranate is a sheer delight!
