All-Natural Hair and Skin Care
All-Natural because nature heals the best. All-Natural because wholesome ingredients are the most alive & naturally bursting with nutrients. All-Natural because let’s reject synthetic ingredients. All-Natural because let’s get close to the Source, and take care of that Source!
From scalp-nourishing shampoos, non-toxic yet so very effective sunscreens, to earthy deodorants — ALL small companies selected in the articles below share these traits:
Creations made exclusively or primarily with wholesome all-natural ingredients. Ingredients such as extracts, powders, butters and essential oils that come from a herb, root, bark, leaf etc. ‘Simple’ and wholesome ingredients are prioritized over isolated compounds, even those from ‘natural sources’
Products made by people you can trust: I extensively research the founders to get an overall sense of the person and understand why they began creating their own natural hair + skin care in the first place
Original and all-authentic creations: Surprise yourself by discovering how different the ingredient list of an all-natural product reads versus your traditional cosmetics
NO synthetic ingredients — which are derived via vague & often toxic processes. No petrochemicals disguised under fancy names
The small companies I have found below aren’t usually at the top of search results. As I often say, ‘my research goes 10 pages deep’ ;). Enjoy. - Ajay
