We'd Never Hurt You
On the next set of organic hair products that you buy, make sure you see “Cruelty Free” or “No Animal Testing” printed on the label. Personal care product manufacturers are not required to safety test their products before market approval, so they escape the requirement of including a warning label on each product that has not been tested for safety.
Absolutely Chemical Free Beauty Products at Nurture My Body
Thursday, September 10th, 2009Are you using chemical free beauty products? Do they have any cancer-causing ingredients in them?
Certainly not in your toothpaste. Or lipstick. What about your body lotion and underarm deodorant? Or hair spray? And, of course there’s NO WAY that manufacturers would put cancer-causing chemicals in your baby shampoo and baby lotion, would they?
Would the Government allow that?
Watch this if you love yourself, your spouse, your parents and especially your children.
Infusions and Extracts – A Plant’s Life in Our Products
Monday, February 2nd, 2009Two of the main components we use in Nurture My Body product formulations for you are herbs and flora because they contain volatile oils, antibiotics and other healing chemicals as well as being aromatic. Usually one part of the plant is used at a time, such as root, bark, stems, leaves or flowers. You can either use the plant material fresh or dried. Dried herbage is generally 2 to 3 times stronger than fresh.
How We Release the Miracle of Plants
The chemicals of the plants are released in a wide variety of ways. Plants react to stimuli. Some plants are soluble in water while others require a medium such as grain alcohol or oil to withdraw the chemicals of the plant.
Two of the methods we use to release nature’s miraculous healing chemicals are infusions and extracts. These two principles are done in-house to insure that when we use the infusions or extracts in our formulations they are the freshest, so the healing properties are most potent.

Saving Mother Earth
Do You Ca-hair About Yours?
Shampoo, conditioner, serum, wax, gel, hair spray, color… the list goes on. Hair, like the skin, is extremely absorbent and all those products can contain harmful chemicals.
Watch out for shampoos and conditioners containing petroleum products and sodium laurel sulphates; hair dyes with carcinogenic coal tar; hairsprays and hair gels containing petroleum derivatives, formaldehyde, phthalates, and synthetic fragrance.
Care for your hair and use only safe organic hair care products including pure organic shampoos and organic conditioners. And take the time to find out exactly what’s in the products you’re about to buy. Your hair, and health will love you for it.
