Beauty Treatments
Our products are from the Natural Elements Skincare range from Essentially Yours, which has been formulated to bring the benefits of aromatherapy essential oils, plant extracts, vitamins and proteins to specific skin care needs. Essentially Yours specialises in creating natural and organically derived products, using ingredients from Soil association or Eco-Certified sources and working only with the very finest unadulterated essential oils for maximum benefits.
Many of today’s cosmetics and toiletries contain harsh and sometimes harmful chemicals. They can contribute to dry and prematurely aged skin or even worse, can be carcinogenic (cancerous). Some of the ingredients that may be found in both over the counter or professional skin care products are:
- Parabens – Found in cancer tumours
- Petro-Chemicals – Strips the skin of its own natural oils
- Synthetic Perfumes – The biggest cause of allergies
- Sodium Laurel Sulphate (SLS) – Can cause eye irritation, skin rashes and hair loss.
- Propylene Glycols – Better know as “Anti-Freeze”.
At Earthlife we agree with Essentially Your’s ethical position to create pure formulations using high quality, organic plant and vegetable ingredients to provide maximum therapeutic and aromatherapy benefits.
Ingredients you will find in the Natural Elements range are:
- Vital Oils – Contain anti-oxidants, which harness ‘free radicals’ and prevents skin cell damage building up in the body.
- Certified Essential Oils – Pure unadulterated essential oils for their therapeutic effects on and within the body.
- Vitamins – To feed and nourish the skin, keeping it healthy.
- Aloe Vera – A natural anti-inflammatory, with powerful antiseptic and healing properties.
- Sodium Lauryl Ethyl Sulphate (SLES) – A mild foaming agent derived from coconut (not to be confused with SLS).
Most of this highly effective but affordable range of products can now be found for sale on our shelves, including organic baby products, anti-ageing products and various gift sets for those important presents.
