The Truth About Ingredients

Did you know that over 80% of all beauty products, and over 93% of all hair care products available today are made with toxic ingredients?*

The simple truth is that many beauty products are advertised as natural or organic when their ingredients are far from it. Many companies produce these “so-called” natural or organic products by adding a few herbal extracts to a synthetic soup of polymers (plastics), silicones, petroleum (and its derivatives), artificial fragrances and colors, and other potentially harmful substances. In addition, they are saturated with numerous hormone-disrupting xeno-estrogens that are wreaking havoc on your health.

At Naturally Xeno-Free Skin Care, we evaluate every ingredient - so you don’t have to.  We focus exclusively on plant derived products; and guarantee that all the products we carry are made with genuinely pure ingredients that have therapeutic value for your skin and do not disrupt hormones.   In addition to this guarantee, we also promise to work diligently to ensure that none of the products we carry contain ingredients that are harmful to you or the environment.

Our Pledge at Naturally Xeno-Free Skin Care: 

First and foremost, we do not use ingredients that are know hormone disrupting xeno-estrogens such as Lavender, Rosemary, Sage, Soy, Argan Oil, Chamomile, Clover, Cinnamon, Cocoa butter, Fragrance, Lemon grass, Tea Tree Oil, Neem, Parabens, etc.   
Please see "Xeno-Estrogens in Popular Skin Care Products" for entire list.
