The ideal conditions for the products are normal ambient temperature (around 15-20°C or 60-70°F). Our freight providers do not courier in climate-controlled vehicles, so the products have been tested to withstand short periods of extreme temperatures (between 0°C-50°C or 32°F-122°F), which emulate year-round international shipping conditions, and will remain stable and continue to fulfill their intended function.

Are Organic Skin Care products ingredients vegetarian?
Yes, all ingredients are vegetarian. Our entire product range is approved by The Vegetarian Society. We never test on animals and don't purchase from suppliers who have conducted animal testing.

Some of your products ingredients contains less than %100 Natural ingredients. Why? 
Organic Skin Care products are 100% natural by our own very strict standards. Some of our brands however use two ingredients (potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate) sourced from organically grown fruit that are not technically certified yet. Due to the fact that our source for these ingredients is innovative and unusual, Ecocert does not currently have a way of certifying them. All of our ingredients are from natural botanical or mineral sources. And also certified by Organic Soil Association. 

Does Shea Butter reveal pores and result in acne?
Absolutely not, shea butter in non-comedogenic; it does not cause clogged pores or acne. Shea butter is a beautiful, healing butter that promotes the elasticity and suppleness of the skin.

Is sodium bicarbonate (bicarb soda) the same as sodium carbonate or baking powder?
No, sodium bicarbonate (bicarb soda or baking soda) is completely different to sodium carbonate (soda ash) or baking powder (which contain aluminium compounds). Sodium bicarbonate, as used by us, is completely free of harmful effects.

What is propylene glycol and is it safe?
Propylene glycol is an ingredient used in numerous cosmetics and toiletries. It is also used as a powerful solvent to prevent creams from drying out.  Propylene glycol is a petrochemical derivative and has been shown to cause allergies. 

Do people who are allergic to plants, trees and grass can use your product?
It would depend on their specific allergies. Obviously, the fact that our products are comprised of ONLY plants, being allergic to plants may pose a problem! We suggest that you consult a medical professional prior to using any product if you have any allergies.

What is Zinc Oxide, and is Zinc Oxide safe to use?
Zinc oxide (zincite) is a naturally occurring mineral that provides a white color base for our cosmetic products as well as providing superior sun protection with broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB) absorption. It is a soft, heavy white mineral powder that creates a soothing, protective barrier for the skin, and it recognized by the TGA as a skin soothing and healing agent. It is eminently safe!

What is the difference between Witch Hazel and Alcohol?
Witch hazel is an aqueous (water) extract from the Hamamalis virginiana plant; it is a pure plant extract that is free of any alcohol. Because Witch Hazel it an astringent in nature, it will cause closure of pores, contraction of blood vessels to decrease redness and is also anti-inflammatory due to it being cooling. Its astringent nature makes it mildly antibacterial as well. However Witch Hazel is not capable of causing dehydration as it does not leach water out of the cells (it is a water based extract). However alcohol has the potential to leach water out of cells, it is the very nature of alcohol (even the positive emotions/sensations associated with alcohol are due to this very reason)."

Do your Organic Skin Care Products contain alcohol?
Organic Skin Care Pro do not offer what is commonly called alcohol (actual name is ethanol or ethyl alcohol) in any of our products. The reference to “alcohol” on our labels refers to the wax alcohols, behenyl alcohol (made from rapeseed oil) or cetearyl alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is made from various vegetable oils such as palm and coconut. Greatly different from common alcohol, which is a volatile liquid.

Why Organic Skin Care Pro Does not offer products which contains alcohol?
Alcohol disturbs the skin’s natural acid mantle – leading to accelerated trans-epidermal water loss – resulting in dull, dry skin. Alcohol also stimulates melanocytes which can lead to hyperpigmentation and increased age spots. A recent study suggests that a large number of individuals with multiple chemical sensitivity are actually allergic to alcohol, which compromises the skin’s integrity and exposes the deeper layers of the skin to environmental toxins. We do not offer any product which we do not use for our self’s. We also accomplish many testes before offering the products in our website. 

What is benzoin? And do you offer benzoin in any of your products?
Benzoin is synthesized from benzaldehyde in the benzoin condensation. Benzoin is not a constituent of benzoin resin obtained from the benzoin tree (Styrax) or tincture of benzoin. The main component in these natural products is benzoic acid. No forms of benzoin or benzoic acid are used in our products.

I have a nut allergy can I still use your products?
We tend not use nut ingredients, as a rule, except the tamanu nut oil in the Ambrosia Essence. If someone is highly allergic to nuts, we recommend they read our ingredients to ascertain what exactly is in our products. 

Why not use a metal spoon when mixing a mask?
The clay minerals contain metallic minerals and it is good not to interfere with the magnetic frequency of the minerals which are highly beneficial in the mask that's why we recommend that you mix with plastic or ceramic, don't contaminate it with other metals.

Serums are usually used before moisturizers, some of your Serums are used afterwards, why?
It's all in the definition. The 'serums' in other ranges are water-based pre-moisturizer treatments, which is the function fulfilled by skin conditioners and gels. Some Range brands definitions of serums are thick, nourishing oil-based products which are used after moisturizing to lock in moisture and protect the skin.

Deodorants do not stop me from perspiring, why?
They are not antiperspirants, they are deodorants. They are designed to allow your body to eliminate toxins via perspiration, naturally. Although you sometimes have to put up with perspiration marks on your clothing, We think it is a small price to pay for the long-term health of your body.

What are the hair coloring products that have the least amount of chemicals?
Henna is a great natural hair coloring agent. Everything else on the shelves We are aware of contains chemicals to be avoided.

Does bicarb soda abrasive on the teeth?
Bicarb soda is an extremely low abrasive, contrary to popular myth; it will NOT abrade tooth enamel. The following information has been extracted from the Arm &Hammer website about the use of bicarb soda in toothpastes: www.myoralcare.com/ArmAndHammerUniversity/ 

New research proves bicarb soda a more effective whitener. Data from six clinical and laboratory studies presented at a recent peer-reviewed symposium shows that a toothpaste with a high concentration of bicarb soda cleaned away plaque and reduced deep tooth stain better than leading regular toothpastes. Other reported pluses for a high-content bicarb soda toothpaste: it deodorizes and freshens bad breath and is minimally abrasive. 

But the research shows that it takes a high concentration of bicarb soda to get the full benefits. Bicarb soda removes plaque with low abrasion. Studies show that when there are high concentrations of bicarb soda in toothpaste, it will exist in two forms in the mouth: dissolved in liquid and as solid particles to provide two mechanisms for cleaning both tooth surfaces and deep stain. When research compared three different toothpastes, it was concluded that a high-content bicarb soda toothpaste was superior at daily plaque removal to the two leading regular toothpastes tested that contain hydrated silica and dicalcium phosphate: ingredients more abrasive than bicarb soda. 

Whitens with Deep Cleaning Research showed that use of the high-content bicarb soda toothpaste caused the stained plaque to appear to flake off the tooth like peeling paint. High-content bicarb soda toothpastes were also reported to be better at reducing deep stain and increasing tooth whiteness. 

A study compared how well toothpastes removed deep stain in 115 people who brushed twice daily for three months. The high-content bicarb soda toothpaste tested significantly increased tooth whiteness, while the leading regular toothpaste did not show any significant changes. It is postulated that bicarb soda's ability to remove deep stain from the crevices in enamel is a factor of concentration and particle size. 

There has to be enough bicarb soda in the toothpaste to ensure you're brushing with solid particles. Abrasives like hydrated silica and dicalcium phosphate do not break up as readily during brushing; thus, many of those particles can be too large to fit into stained enamel crevices. 

What is CO2 extracts of carrot and calendula?
Super critical fluid extraction (or CO2 extraction as it is also known) is a highly technical process by which CO2 is liquefied under pressure. This liquid then acts as the solvent in extracting compounds (e.g. oleoresins, essential oils, flavors) from a product. This method of extraction has numerous advantages: * No solvent residues. * Selectivity - solvent power and selectivity is readily adjustable by small changes in process conditions, allowing more than one extract product. * CO2 is acceptable as a food grade "solvent". * Low temperature processing means sensitive products do not deteriorate. * Gentle extraction process. * High quality separation that eliminates the need to remove solvent and other residues by further processing 

Sodium Laureth Suphate is an ingredient to avoid, but what about the naturally derived Sodium Laureth Suphate from coconut?
It makes no difference whether it comes from coconut or mineral oil - it's the process the source oil goes through that renders the final product toxic. Coconut "derived" products are no better than the others. The only claim they can make is that the ingredient comes from renewable resources, as opposed to non-renewable petrochemical resources.

Do the skin care products penetrate to a cellular level?
It is theoretically possible for lipophilic (oil soluble) substances with a molecular weight less than 500 Daltons to pass through the skin. The components of essential oils used in our products fall into this category.

What are parabens? 
Parabens are the most commonly used preservative in cosmetic, personal care and toiletry products. Research has shown that parabens mimic the function of the naturally ocurring hormone, estrogen. Parabens are only estrogenic when applied externally, therefore could be of great concern from cosmetics when applied to the skin. On behalf of consumer safety, The Purist Company has taken the additional precaution of avoiding using ingredients which have been preserved with parabens.

My face becomes red and hot after using your Rejuvenating Face Mask, should I be concerned?
This is due to an increase in microcirculation. The mask is designed to stimulate circulation as this enhances cellular nourishment & detoxification. As your skin adjusts to a nutrient-rich diet these sensations (heat, redness or “blushing and tingling) should diminish, while you will continue to enjoy the benefits to your skin. We recommend using the mask at night as it will give skin time to settle and you will wake up with a radiant glow. If irritation occurs please discontinue use. 

What are the benefits of microcirculation?
Enhanced microcirculation prevents and reverses the visible signs of premature aging. It beautifies the skin in two ways: increasing nourishment of skin cells as well as speeding the detoxification of the cells.

How do your products stimulate microcirculation? 
We offer organically-sourced vitamins and herbal nutrients combined with a patented nutrient delivery system to stimulate the microcirculatory structures in the skin.

What is potassium sorbate? 
Potassium sorbate is derived from sorbic acid, extracted from organic bananas. It is a preservative commonly used in the organic food industry. It is anti-fungal in nature. Some of our brands use it as part of their preservative system.

I have heard citrus oils are a known irritant (causing photo-sensitivity)?
Citrus oils are a known to cause photo-sensitivity and irritation if used in products in greater than 4%. We offer these oils in percentages that are too low to cause sensitization or photo-sensitivity.

What are good chemicals? 
Natural usually means 'good', but chemicals aren't always 'bad'. When something is chemically produced, it is made within a controlled environment with 100% knowledge of the content and impact of the finished product. This isn't always the case with nature and some organic ingredients can easily cause allergic reactions. 

What are allergens? 
Allergenic perfumes are substances that have the potential to trigger an allergic reaction. The Danish Environment Ministry and the EU have created a list of the 26 most common allergenic perfumes. These allergenic perfumes should be declared on a product's list of contents (INCI), so that consumers can make an informed choice before purchase.

What is natural perfume? 
The vast majority of perfumes are produced synthetically. A perfume that smells of roses has usually never been near a rose. However, on the positive side, the use of synthetic perfumes means 100% control over the substance and the ingredients of the finished product, even if the manufacturing methods do not fulful organic certification requirements.
