Organic Conditioner – Hair Care the Organic Way
Posted by: Susan Wilson - Natural Organic Makeup : Category: organic beauty, organic cosmetics
Organic Conditioner? – Well, perhaps it’s not exactly makeup. But it belongs on the Natural Organic Makeup blog anyway.
For many people, their scalp is even more sensitive than the skin on their face. The only difference is the skin on your face is more exposed.
When it comes to finding the right organic conditioner, the key is to avoid common synthetics like parabens, mineral oils (petroleum-derived oils) and phthalates – but to find something that will be strong enough to moisturize your hair, and restore the balance of oils that shampooing is designed to remove.
So what choices are available?
The logical choice is a leave-in conditioning oil. The beauty of this is, because there are so many natural, organic, essential oils available to us – there are a wide range of options.
Carol’s Daughter Khoret Amen Hair Oil is a perfect example of this.
Rather than a cheap harmful chemical paraben base (like many moisturizing hair treatments), Carol’s Daugher Khoret Amen Hair Oil is Olive Oil based, and infused with a rich and attractive bouquet of lavender, ylang ylang, clary sage and bay leaf.
In aromatherapy, lavender, ylang ylang and clary sage are believed to aid in relaxation, clear stress and headaches, and lower blood pressure.
The addition of patchouli and cedarwood to the mix also assist in ensuring healthy hair.
Patchoili is an anti-fungal and anti-inflamatory – helping to clear away harmful fungus that may be growing on your scalp, and assisting in cell growth.
Cedarwood helps to relieve itching – and, as anyone who has seen a Head and Shoulders ad would know – itching is a major cause of hair breakage.
For the best results, warming the hair oil to create a hot oil treatment is recommended.
If fruit scents are more your style in hair conditioners, then you might want to try Carols Dauther Tui Hair Oil.
Although corn oil based, the blend contains chamomile and miracle-herb calendula.
However, the most wonderful thing about this blend is the scent.
It’s infused with a fragrant blend of guava, mango and passionfruit (yum!) as well as soothing marigold.
Both of these organic hair conditioners are suitable for all hair types.

Organic Skin Care and Body Care Recipes
Posted by: Susan Wilson - Natural Organic Makeup : Category: Uncategorized
I purchased this book because I’m interested in making my own lotion, preferably with natural, organic and environmentally friendly ingredients.
I have not had the opportunity to read this from beginning to end yet as I am currently reading a soap making book, but I’ve been tempted to flick through the book many times already – and I am not disappointed at my purchase so far.
I especially love the lip balm recipe she lists and the body balm recipe. And I love that they are all natural. If you are looking for healthy recipes and ways to have quality products while saving money by making it yourself, you cant beat this book.
Each formula is clearly presented in recipe style, with notes on prep time, storage, and uses. Many products can be customized according to personal needs, whim, or mood, and they all use readily available, natural ingredients. Organic Body Care Recipes is a natural treasure for every body.
I have given the book 5 stars in anticipation of a great read and would recommend it to anyone, rookie or experienced, looking for inspiration in organic body care, both for commercial or personal use.
Save Your Money, and Feed Your Skin. Check out this book!
