Why Organic?

Organically produced food and products are not just better for us, they are better for the environment.
If we then use natural and organic ingredients in our skincare, as well as in our diet, we can increase our long term health significantly and further reduce damage to the environment.

Here are 5 key reasons why Organic is best:


1.Good for the soil


Organic systems rely on a modern and scientific understanding of ecology and soil science, while also depending on traditional methods of crop rotations to ensure fertility and weed and pest control.

2.Good for the environment

Organic systems aim to reduce dependence on non-renewable resources. Organic production aims at all times towards sustainability whilst having best management of the environment and wildlife as a priority.

3.Good for people

Organic based ingredients have been shown in a number of studies to contain more vitamins, nutrients and cancer-fighting antioxidants than non-organic ingredients.

4.No synthetic chemicals

Organic systems prohibit the use of artificial chemicals, pesticides and fertilisers.

5.No GMO's

Certified Organic products are produced without GMOs, which are prohibited in the standards for organic food and farming
 
Clever marketing can often fool us into thinking that a product is organic or natural, so the only way to be sure is to use a product with worldwide recognised Certification, such as the Soil Association.
For more information on this certification and the reasons why Organic is best, see the Soil Association website and help promote Organic Fortnight.
