Nurture My Body is proud to announce that from Thanksgiving through the end of the 2011 Holiday Season, the Company will donate 2% of all retail sales of its fragrance free skin care products to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at http://www.lls.org/.

Each one of the company’s growing line of fragrance free products is made entirely from natural, organic ingredients. Nurture My Body built its reputation and its loyal customer following by adhering firmly to the philosophy that certified organic ingredients make better skin and hair care products. Natural ingredients offer a more meaningful and sustainable restorative experience, especially for those who are fighting and winning their battle with cancer.

“From our Fragrance Free Vita C Cream to a growing selection of Fragrance Free Body Wash and Fragrance Free Baby Lotion, we are committed to providing cancer survivors with the soothing nutrients and peace of mind that comes with using certified organic skin care products,” said Rich Arnold, co-founder of Nurture My Body.

Fragrance free is an extremely important distinction for everyone who is concerned about their health, but it is of even greater importance for cancer survivors. Many cosmetic products contain phthalates and other toxic agents that mask chemical smells with various types of fragrances. Even products described as “unscented” often contain phthalates that are used to hide the smells of other chemicals.

Nurture My Body has gone to great lengths to ensure that all of its fragrance free hair products are 100% safe and effective for all of its customers, including those who have overcome cancer.

“By dedicating 2% of our retail sales to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, we’re encouraging our loyal customers to help us celebrate the triumphant courage of cancer survivors everywhere,” added Patty Kerr, co-founder of NMB. “Thanksgiving seemed like the perfect time to launch the promotion.”

Nurture My Body has an array of fragrance free products available in its skin care, hair care, body care and baby care product lines. The company also offers sulfate free shampoo and a complete line of gluten free skin care products.

This is the second consecutive year that Nurture My Body has donated a portion of its holiday sales to an organization dedicated to winning the battle against cancer. Last year’s recipient was the St. Jude Children’s Hospital for Cancer.

All About Essential Oils – Are They Really Oily?

The only ingredients we use in our products that produce a scent or fragrance are our certified organic and wildcrafted essential oils. And here’s the real important reason why. We use essential oils not just for their smell but for the therapeutic properties they possess.

Distillation Process

An essential oil is made by taking different parts of plant materials and either processing them by steam distillation, cold process or CO2 process. An example is Lavender. The plant flowers are used to create the essential oil. It takes about 25 pounds of the flowers to produce 1 ounce of essential oil by the steam distillation process. So, you can see how potent it is.

The essential oil is said to be the essence or soul of the plant. It carries the information in it that the plant uses to survive and thrive in nature. The oils are contained in the cellular structure of the plant in the glands of the leaves, root, bark or blossoms.

Although it is called an Essential Oil, there is no oily substance to it! It can evaporate easily in the air if it is not put into a medium or stored properly. It is easily dissolved by the sebaceous fat and the molecules are so small it can actually penetrate the skin to reach the lowest level affecting the deeper tissue. Because of its potency we use only 0.5% in our Baby Care, 1% in Hand and Body Lotions, Body Washes, Shampoos and Moisturizers, and 0.25% in our Eye Cream.

Clearing Up the Confusion

We are proud to offer Fragrance Free to our customers. The reason we brought on Fragrance Free was that we have customers who have illnesses that have compromised their immune system, such as Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, AIDS or Cancer. So even though essential oils are a natural substance, your body possibly may not be able to handle them because of the complexity of the information. The solution to those who have major health issues was to offer our products in Fragrance Free – which means without the essential oils.

What Should I Use If I’m Healthy?

If you are healthy it is recommended that you choose our products that contain Essential Oils because of the added nutritive benefits they provide. They are an essential part to any organic formulation. We formulate our products for specific purposes of that product. The wonderful fragrance that you smell is a pleasurable benefit the beautiful plants produce to either repel certain animals or insects from it or attract beneficial birds, insects or butterflies.

So feel safe knowing that whether you use our products that contain essential oils or are Fragrance Free, they are made with the healthiest ingredients we have found available.

And you can count on us to never settle for anything less.
