Top natural organic brands

Ok i know there are a lot of threads on organic poducts with no harsh chemicals and such, but being a beginner on this area of beauty, iv tried to search threads on things like top natural products, but failed. So I really wanted to get some new goodies for skincare but im not very good at knowing the best brands which certify organic and naturals ingredients, even if they dont come from a department store. So from anyone here who im sure has much more experience in this area, could you tell me some brands..thanx heaps

    Sweetlolliepop – Akin is a very good ethical brand but isn`t organic. You might like to try Sanctum which is certified organic or Miessence (certified organic). Certified Organic is more expensive but it is more concentrated and therefore you use less and you are guarenteed it to be the very best.

    Moogoo is also good quality and is also an Australian company that alot of the girls her on BH like. I use their shampoo and conditioner on my children.

    Hope this helps

    Cheers

    Akin is a great natural Australian skin care company. They also have a hair product range called Alchemy. They are great for people with sensitive skin/scalp very gentle yet effective. Reasonably priced too. Can be found in a lot of health food stores and David Jones I think.

    Sweetlolliepop – Below is a definition on “”Certified Organic”” I hope this helps you to understand the REAL difference between Natural, Organic and Certified Organic. The thing to remember is that not all natural `things` are good for you the most harmful compounds on the planet come from nature.

    WHAT IS ORGANIC?

    For certification or Certified products these products contain (excluding water and salt) at least 95% organically produced agricultural ingredients. The remaining ingredients (up to 5%) can be non-agricultural substances or non-organically produced agricultural ingredients, with strictly no GMOs or synthetics chemicals.

    For it to be called organic it is made with organic ingredients products contain (excluding water and salt) at least 70% organically produced agricultural ingredients. Any remaining can be non-agricultural substances (eg, clay, bicarb soda, minerals) or non-organically produced agricultural ingredients, with strict processing criteria and also no GMOs or synthetics chemicals).

    There is a good explanation on the Sanctum website if you are interested, but basically
    1. Under 70% organic content are to be described as non organics
    2. Over 70% is described as containing certified organic ingredients
    3. Over 95% organic content can be termed certified organic

    Organic products should carry the certification seal on them to say they are certified this is the only sure way to make sure they are what the say they are. Many companies use throw organic around to make a profit – BEWARE of the advertising hype.

    Cheers
    BB
