Organic Beauty

I’ve always liked the idea of using ‘Organic’ beauty products – but to be honest, I’ve never fully understood what the term actually means… It sounds nice and natural, but are the products really worth investing in?
To clear it up, I turned to the brand Jo Woods Organics for help. They define ‘Organic’ as the below:
- Organic brands don’t use synthetic chemical ingredients.
- Organic brands use farmland that has been free from chemicals for a number of years.
- Organic brands have to keep detailed written production and sales records.
To avoid contamination organic brands have to physically separate organic products from non-certified products. - Organic brands have no irritants and are therefore kind to the skin as well as our precious environment.

It’s worth mentioning that the word ‘Organic’ on the label doesn’t always guarantee that the product is 100% Organic. Personally, I have nothing against products that are 80% or 90% Organic, as long as they make it clear to the customer that is the case. If it bothers you, make sure you always check the small print!
With all this in mind, here are a few of my favourite ‘Organic’ finds!!

I adore this moisturising blend of jojoba, apricot, and rosehips oils! It invigorates skin, giving a lovely glow – and leaves my body feeling incredibly soft and silky.Tisserand Invigorating Hand Wash with Organic Tea Tree
