My Favourite Organic Skin Care Companies - Green People

Green People History

The Green People Company was formed as a direct result of a mother’s first hand experience of trying to find an effective treatment for her daughter’s eczema and allergies. During this quest she discovered just how much living in a chemical world affects our health; eliminating all chemicals from the home was one of the things that helped to clear up her daughter’s allergies.

Green People personal care products have been in continuous development for over 10 years. Today this range of natural and organic health and beauty products that is available from Green People is made with the finest ingredients and contains no chemicals or toxins that can cause harmful effects to you body and health.

All of the Green People products are suitable for vegetarians and many are suitable for vegans.

Charlotte Vøhtz, Founder of The Green People Company Ltd., says, "Together, we can help you and your family live a truly Organic Lifestyle."The Green People team is a small group of dedicated people all working together for a healthier future and a less polluted world.

How Toxic Are You?

We're made of chemicals, we rely on them, they're the basis of life. But the wrong types, in the wrong concentrations can cause serious damage. There are around 30,000 chemicals licensed for use in the UK today. Most make our lives easier, some make our lives safer, but for others, the jury is out."

My Favourite Organic Skin Care Companies - Trevarno Organic Skin Care

Trevarno Organic Skin Care's aim and passion is to revive the art of mixing and blending plant oils, herbs and essential oils for their skin care qualities.

Trevarno Organic Skin Care does not use any synthetic ingredients or preservatives in their skin care products, instead they use the natural preservative properties found in many plant extracts. Even though this gives a shorter shelf life, they feel this is a fair exchange for a synthetic free and more natural product. All colouring within the Trevarno Skin Care preparations comes from the herbs that are used.

Trevarno Organic Skin Care is dedicated to using certified organic herbs, plant oils and essential oils whenever possible and each preparation is made by hand. Trevarno Skin Care is convinced that their ethos of only using pure plant extracts in all of their products offers a healthier natural alternative.

Organic Certification Trevarno Skin Care is proud to be the first and longest established organic skincare manufacturer certified by the Organic Farmers and Growers Association, which is one of Britain’s largest organic certification bodies approved by DEFRA to inspect a wide variety of organic operations in the UK. Formal certification guarantees that their organic products are always of the highest possible quality.

Home Spa Treatment - Salt Glow

Creating a spa in your own home is the perfect way to pamper yourself and escape the stresses of the day!

Salt Glow
For a deep cleanse this is the perfect treatment.

Fill a cup with coarse sea salt and moisten it until it forms a sticky paste.

Take a handful of the paste and massage into your skin using a circular motion. Start from your feet and work up your body, being careful to avoid delicate areas.

Rinse the salt off with warm water.

Avoid this treatment if you are diabetic and using insulin, if you have cardiovascular problems or skin irritations.
