Take a look at a few of our reviews
by our customers and see what they think.
Working with growers and distillers directly, gives us a first
hand knowledge of exactly how our ingredients are sourced.
Using as many Fair Trade Alliance suppliers as possible, we ensure
that our products are truly beneficial to all.
You will not find creams and lotions at this time in our catalog
of products - though many ask for them. As stated on the front
page, we do not use synthetic preservatives, such as parabens.
When one adds water to a product, such as with lotions or creams (
up to 70% of the recipe) , an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal
preservative must be used to prevent mold and bacteria. We
believe the only preservatives clinically proven to be safe at
this time are synthetic. Though the preservative is usually
only 1-.05% of a recipe, but when Botanical Earth states we use no synthetic preservatives,
we stand behind that statement.
Nor will you
find glycols to blend the oils and water in our
Aromatic Mist
Sprays. Yes, glycols may be naturally sourced, and no, it's
not automotive anti-freeze in your product, but it is
questionable on how "naturally sourced" glycols in body care
products are. Truly natural
care can be inconvenient and an effort (sorry, it's true) , but we
believe it is worth shaking a bottle to avoid additional
ingredients.
