Pflanzenstoffe – Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve

Die saisonale Seife „Springtime Lime“ ist zurück!

Organic Botanical Skin Care

Pflanzen wie Blumen und Kräuter besitzen eine ganz eigene Lebenskraft. Sie sind für ihre heilenden Eigenschaften sowie ihre Fähigkeit bekannt, die Haut zu beruhigen und zu pflegen.

Wir nutzen die Kraft der Pflanzen, indem wir sie langsam in Öl einarbeiten. Dadurch werden die heilenden Eigenschaften, der Duft und die Farbe auf das Öl übertragen. Dies ist eine der ältesten Formen der Arzneimittelherstellung.

Wir kaufen ausschließlich USDA-zertifizierte Bio-Kräuter und -Pflanzen, sofern verfügbar. Es macht keinen Sinn, „natürliche“ Produkte aus Pflanzen herzustellen, die mit Pestiziden besprüht, bestrahlt und begast wurden.

Die Kräuter, Pflanzen, Gewürze und Tees, die wir kaufen, sind:

USDA-zertifiziertes Bioprodukt (falls verfügbar)
Zertifizierter Fair Trade durch „Fair For Life“ (sofern verfügbar)
Gentechnikfrei
Unbestrahlt

Unsere Beschreibungen der Pflanzenstoffe sind nur zur äußerlichen Anwendung bestimmt.
