Herbal Group

These light, hydrating, natural moisturisers and soothers are suitable for both sexes - they have a more citrus/woody fragrance than our floral range but we know they are just as popular with our female customers. It's a well known fact that men's skin is different to that of women. For example the sebaceous glands in male skin are smaller than in women's, but testosterone levels create a higher amount of secretions making mens skin oilier and therefore more susceptible to acne and blemishes. Men's skin is believe it or not, more delicate than that of women - although subject to the same daily stresses of pollution, climatic factors, diet and chemicals, men's skin is less protected and cared for as they tend to use less skincare protection. If we thought that girls had it bad when it comes to the chemical-free choices available through commercial products, the choices for men seem to be fewer, based as they are on celebratory endorsed products laden with unpronounceable chemically constructed ingredients - Shaving also aggravates the facial skin daily by destroying the protective hydrolipidic layer which offers natural protection. Likewise shaving creates frequent nicks and abrasions causing irritation, infection, dehydration and skin sensitisation. 83% of men say they suffer skin irritation due to constant shaving. We believe skin is stressed enough by factors outwith our control without adding to its problems by bombarding it with harsh, drying chemicals which we can easily and pleasurably avoid.

CUSTOMER INFORMATION -PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ

Although we only use pure Essential Oils, totally natural ingredients and plant based colours in all our skincare products most of which are organically sourced there are a very few customers who have a skin sensitivity to even natural ingredients. These include some nut and Essential oils – mainly those with a known ’spicy’ provenance such as Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Clove etc. This may cause a tingling and/or reddening of the skin. If you are sensitive to such natural ingredients you will probably know by now but just in case……

PLEASE patch test our products on the inside of your wrist before using them on your face…………if you find you have a sensitivity to any of our 100% natural skincare products just return them in their original packaging and we will either exchange or issue a refund including the cost of returning – your consumer rights are not affected by this offer.
