They are in base of actual healing herbal extracts and oils
A base of actual healing herbs, macerated (soaked) in oil to extract the healing properties of the herbs.
Why Not Synthetic Petroleum/Mineral Bases And Water In Products ?
Flower Fairy Herbal Healers never use any water in any of their products. The less water in a product, the less chances of bacterial growth. The use of natural oils as a base instead makes them a more concentrated, nutritive and therapeutic product. You are not paying for the mere water in products. However, natural oils are much more expensive to use in products, but much more beneficial.
Flower Fairy Herbal Healers never use: Petro-chemicals, Synthetic Oils or Hydrocarbons. Examples of these are: Mineral oil, paraffin, ozokerite, ceresin, silicone waxes / oils and parabens.
Are these synthetic additives and chemicals safe in my body care products?
What Can You Do?
If they say Natural - Are They ?
No, not necessarily. It is a marketing buzz word. Look at the ingredients yourself.
Ask yourself the following questions:
All the ingredients are stated on the label of Flower Fairy Herbal Healers. The first ingredient is the most concentrated in amounts and the subsequent ingredients are listed in descending order to indicate the approximate amounts in each product. Medicinal amounts of ingredients are used to achieve therapeutic beneficial and are added in sufficient amounts to facilitate optimal benefits from product. Other companies can use an ingredient on the front label or in the may contain portion of the ingredients and may only contain a drop of it, for marketing and cost reasons.
No regulatory body requires full or partial disclosure of ingredients in products in Europe and Canada. (12) That is why identical products in the USA have much longer and detailed ingredients list and do not use catch Phrase May Contain.
Some manufactures list a chemical such as cocoamide DEA and than insinuate it is a natural or organic substance, by adding the phase it is derived from coconut oil. In order to turn it into this, it had to be synthetically extracted with the use of chemicals and is therefore it is now either organic or natural. Also it no longer necessarily keeps it's original natural benefit, because it is no longer the full plant, that was initially proven as a whole to have these positive attributes benefits. Labels say sodium laurel sulfate TEA, laurel sulfate etc. all coconut derivates, but are now chemical additives really. The list goes on. Unfortunately when they start isolating components from a natural item they can make it than into a dangerous substances like the ones mentioned above. For example cocomide DEA contains nitrosamines that are know carcinogens. Sodium laurel sulfate have been said by some authors to degenerate cell membranes and can change the genetic formation, thus have mutagenic properties. Many books list some of these altered products as now cancer causing agents due to their alteration. (5, 15-26) .
Why use Tinted Glass Containers Instead Of Plastic And Clear Glass Packaging?
Flower Fairy Herbal healers always use tinted glass containers for the increase potency, integrity and longevity of products and for the safety of the consumers' health.
Plastics: "Many health studies have indicated there may be a link to products packaged in plastic containers and the mimicking and or disruptive effects of the plastic products on endocrine hormones of animals and humans. Certain plastics, such as modified styrene (PS2's) in labs have shown unusual biological changes in cell tests." Taken from Omega Nutrition literature. Studies have also shown there may be a suspected migration of hydrocarbons into the oil and transmission of oxygen through the plastic.
Tinted-Glass Bottles: "light is the greatest enemy of all vegetable oils the more nutritious the oil the more vulnerable it is to degeneration due to the fact they have a strong absorption of light. The energy in the light that penetrates clear bottles manifests itself in rapid, irreversible chemical reactions called phyto-oxidation. Any exposure to sunlight or interior lighting, especially fluorescent, can cause immediate reactions. Prolonged exposure to light will eventually turn an oil rancid, regardless of whether an oil is in a sealed container". In a quote from the of Head of 22nd Century Nutrition. Unrefined/unprocessed oil absorbs 82%of the light spectrum without proper protection from tint. . Taken from Omega Nutrition literature. Metal Containers: Metal containers were not recommended because reactions that severely degraded polysaturated oils were catalyzed by metal ions." Omega Nutrition
