You have to be Beautiful!

Argan Oil is one of the most promising, independent products of the cosmetic industry. But did you know that one can use it for more than just for effective skin care against wrinkles? This Moroccan miracle oil, as it is often called, contains 80% essential fatty acids (help against inflammations), as well as squalenes (skin softening), phytosterols (protects the collagen in the skin) and phenolic compounds (protection against free radicals), make it to a versatile beauty product, for those who prefer an ease to use and cost conscious daily beauty-care. But lets get to the point and talk about what 100% pure Argan oil from Morocco can do else for you. Read about 10 reasons why you should use Argan oil not included anti-aging, although this is also a feature it is well known for.

1. Soften dry and rough skin with Argan oil. Due to its rich content of essential fatty acids, even more than Shea-butter, the oil of the Argan tree is the perfect moisturizer for your face and hands and the whole body.

2. Avoid ugly stretch marks, by massaging the sensitive skin parts of thighs and belly with Argan oil in the morning and evening. The oil soaks in immediately, hydrating the sensitive skin parts, leaving them stretchy and smooth. After the Argan oil massage you will also notice, that the firming oil gets absorbed by the skin right away and does not leave any greasy residuals.

3. Make scars and stretch marks less visible by rubbing them with the natural Moroccan oil. Because of the extreme skin hydration and the subsequent increased elasticity and firmness, as well as through the cell regeneration effect of the Argan oil, small scars will disappear completely, larger ones wild become less visible. This also helps very well with acne scares in the face. The appearance of the skin will be smoothed and the skin will start looking healthy and glowing.

4. With Argan oil you can ensure a balanced sebum production of your skin. It might seem to be a contradiction, because generally one thinks that oil clogs the pores and that this way sebum production will be increased, which will lead to spots and pimples, but with Argan oil this is the contrary. By using Argan oil regularly, the sebum production of the skin will be normalized in a natural way. The skin relaxes and will be nourished optimally, clogged pores will be cleared and the skin can respire.

5. If you belong to those unhappy people who since many years suffer of painful eczema or neurodermatitis and psoriasis, then the 9 time higher vitamin E concentration of the Moroccan oil will bring you the long awaited relief already after a few applications The oil normalizes the skin by giving it the substances it needs so desperately to stay healthy, and it protects the skin from bad external influences and by subsiding itching. This way one can finally relax, the continuous itch will stop and the skin can regenerate and heal. At this point we would like to mention, that Argan oil can be applied on children without hesitation, as in contrary with other crmes and medicines against chronicle eczema and skin diseases, Argan oil has absolutely no negative side effects. Argan oil is a pure natural product, processed in tiresome manual work, when the oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the Argan fruit, without additional ingredients, 100% pure.

6. Callosity such as cuticles and corneas belong to the past, if Argan oil is applied regularly. Rub the affected skin parts on hands, elbows, and corneas generously with the healing oil and let it soak in overnight. The hard skin layers will get very soft and can then be removed easily and without any pain.

7. You suffer of dull and brittle hair with split ends, but you do not want to cut your beautiful hair either? Then you must try Argan oil for your hair care! Already after applying it for the very first time on your hair you will be totally enthusiastic and convinced. After washing your hair, rub a few drops of Argan oil between your hands and then massage it gently into the still damp hair, especially on your scalp, as the oil contains precious vitamins, which can be absorbed by the scalp directly and nourish the hair roots with all needed substances and thus give your hair optimal care. Also massage a very small amount of oil directly into the split ends. Your hair will be shiny again and already after only a few applications, it will look much healthier.

8. Dry and itchy scalp also does no longer need to be a problem. Argan oil used as a cure will help quickly. Gently massage some drops of Argan oil into your scalp, then cover your head with a towel and let the oil soak for 30 minutes, afterwards wash with a mild shampoo, as usual and finally rinse thoroughly with clear, lukewarm water. If possible, leave hair to dry in the air. When applying cures with 100%Argan oil regularly; you will no longer be bothered by dry scalp and dandruff.

9. Even your baby and your small kids will feel well with regular care with native Argan oil. Forget about sore points and skin irritations of sensitive baby skin. Argan oil is the purest and best oil in the world, without any additives, perfumes or other chemical substances simply the very best what you can do for delicate skin of children. Argan oil also protects skin against sun and helps to relief sunburn pain and heals the burned skin.

10. Use Argan oil internally. Argan oil is very well suited for culinary purposes, provides the body with the most important vitamins , keeps the cholesterol level low and as studied scientifically only recently, it is very effective for cancer and heart disease prevention. 3 table spoons a day are totally sufficient for optimal protection, in addition the light, nutty oil taste very good, is easy to digest and in the meantime 5* chefs around the world use it as an absolute insider tip on the same level as truffles, caviar and ostriches, a real delicacy, which is even good for you.
Argan oil is so precious, so valuable and so healthy. Once you start realizing what kind of a great all-rounder this fascinating, natural product from the Moroccan Atlantic Coast is, in the future one can easily renounce less useful cosmetics and less valuable edible oil. Give your body what it wants and likes. health, wellness, beauty and an intact immune system Argan oil for a better life.

Peppermint toothpaste is the norm but here at LUSH we challenge the norm and encourage our customers to think about the impacts of their beauty routine on the environment. Enter Toothy Tabs, LUSHs newest invention that takes conventional toothpaste and literally strips it down.

About one billion toothpaste tubes and dispensers in the U.S. are sent to landfills every year, many of which are recyclable.* The unnecessary tossing of tubes can easily be avoided by using LUSHs latest invention Toothy Tabs! A brand new, patented idea from LUSH, these solid tabs eradicate the need for both packaging and preservatives, and come in a handy 100% recycled box. Each pack contains 40 tabs, you simply pop one in your mouth, crush it a little and continue to brush as normal with your toothbrush and water.

Helen Ambrosen, LUSH Co-Founder and Inventor of the Toothy Tabs says, We use beautiful ingredients such as essential oils and fine spices, which is unique in the world of toothpastes. Toothy tabs create a foaming effect which people love, they give the mouth a squeaky clean feeling and a freshness that lasts and lasts.

Toothy Tabs have a mild base of sodium bicarbonate and cream of tartar, both ingredients found in commonly used baking powder. A gentle surfactant creates the foaming effect that helps dissolve the bacterial build up on your teeth, which you can get rid of completely by brushing. Sodium bicarbonate helps to thoroughly clean and whiten your teeth and the cream of tartar helps to make the solid form. Dicalcium phosphate is included to help polish the teeth, glycerine acts as a humectant while saccharin sweetens. Just one tab and your mouth will be left feeling fresh and clean all day long.

There are six flavours to choose from, created by head perfumer Simon Constantine and inspired by London-based molecular mixologist Paul Tvaroh, who created the drinkable perfumes at the LUSHs Gorilla Perfume galleries! The results is a collection of unusual and unique flavor combinations to entice you away from your tube and onto a tab. Simon Constantine says, I was really keen to take perfumery up a gear and be able to actually perfume someones breath wouldnt that be something?

Each tab uses the most beautiful natural ingredients and essential oils to freshen and perfume the breath, but also have antiseptic qualities used for years in dentistry. Only fresh, natural ingredients are used to clean the teeth beautifully, but each Toothy Tab offers something different from a mouth freshener to a palate cleanser.

HOW TO USE? JUST CRUSH AND BRUSH!
1. Place one toothy tab between your front teeth. Nibble to break up.
2. Wet your toothbrush and brush. The Toothy Tab will begin to foam, helping clean your teeth.
3. Rinse your mouth well and spit out.
4. Give yourself a big cheesy grin in the mirror.
5. Pop the box in a dry place.
6. Recycle your cardboard box when its empty!

Companies like Bulldog Natural Grooming, Green People, and Natracare were virtually unknown outside of the industry before they exhibited at Natural & Organic Products Europe and now they have a huge consumer following, says Barry. Over the last decade, there has been a definite shift in consumer awareness and an increased demand for natural, more sustainably and ethically produced, natural personal care products. And, based on the evidence, its a trend thats going to continue. Whats great for todays retailers and, obviously, their customers is that theyve never had so much choice with exciting new organic start-ups and game-changing natural beauty pioneers to established cosmetic companies all adding their natural brands into the mix.

Its a sentiment echoed by many of the shows loyal visitors, including Al Overton, beauty buyer at Planet Organic, a big fan of the shows diverse range of cutting-edge exhibitors. Natural & Organic Products Europe is an essential trade event for us to meet with suppliers and discover the best natural beauty brands from around the world says Overton.

Whilst first time visitor Jane Scrivner, managing director of her own renowned natural and organic beauty brand and internationally bestselling author of Detox Yourself, is equally upbeat, commenting that the 2011 show had been great for finding interesting products to enhance our existing product range.

Natures Inspiration’s ingredients are kept to a minimum – so great for those with sensitive skin, or those just seeking a pure and uncomplicated range. The cost of the range is excellent too, very affordable.

The scent of the cleanser is truly amazing, and what you might expect from a product containing Rose Damascena. The cleanser has a lovely light creamy texture, and is gentle on the skin.

Customer Comments

I felt an amazing tingle that comes from cleansers that work deep down into the pores of the skin, and I felt no dryness whatsoever following useage, nor any sensitivity. I did not have to use tiny amounts for fear of reactions due to having tiny patches of sensitive skin. Sarah (9th November 2011)

I really love Natures Inspiration products. My skin is really sensitive and I can use the products without any problems, in fact my skin feels great after using them. The rose cleanser is wonderful, it really cleans my skin with out drying it out, and it smells fabuluous. Fionna Martin (2nd August 2011)

Symrise is extending its proprietary internet search tool SymSelect by adding a platform for its Life Essentials products. This will enable customers to research Symrises cosmetic ingredients online. Detailed product information and presentations are available. Multiple search options allow users to identify the best suitable product for their needs.

In this age of web-based interactive search tools, customers expect to be able to retrieve product data anytime and anywhere. Quick and direct access to in-formation is vital. To provide its clients with such online information Symrise has developed a comprehensive database SymSelect.

At www.symselect.com, users can search for cosmetic ingredients. Information about the latest developments, product launches, current topics from the cosmetics world, and new emotive or concept presentations can also be accessed.

As an interactive tool, SymSelect offers various search possibilities. Besides the classical route of directly typing in the Symrise product or plant name re-quired, an advanced search tool allows additional search criteria such as INCI name, CAS number, or plant name to be entered, in different languages.

Two unique visual search platforms provide users with an overview of the in-gredients market. One platform concentrates on naturals with categories such as fruits, flowers, woods, etc., dividing these into sub-categories such as ber-ries, stone fruits, nuts, etc. For each of these sub-categories, SymSelect sug-gests the appropriate Symrise product. The second platform focuses on the search by marketing concept with a wide spectrum of categories such as anti-aging, sensitive skin, traditional medicines (e.g. ayurveda, TCM), targeted age groups (e.g. young and mature skin), and many more.

Additional filter criteria can be utilized to narrow down the selection. These in-clude product properties, formula aspects, registration status, geographical origin, etc. Rounding off the search engines functions are detailed product summaries and presentations and the online ordering of samples.

Our customers benefit from SymSelect in many ways, says Manfred Axterer, Global Product Director Cosmetic Ingredients and Project Manager SymSelect at Symrise. They can find a wide variety of information on our products on the internet exactly when they need it. This significantly decreases the time from request to answer. The combination of technical, visual, and marketing-driven information and the ability to select personal search criteria make our tool really special.

We have launched SymSelect to give our customers modern, fast, and inter-active access to our Life Essentials product portfolio, adds Dr. Klaus Stanzl, President Life Essentials at Symrise. We had the idea to create a tool that pro-vides our customers with broad knowledge of our products and to enable them to select products according to their needs. With this tool, we have launched a state-of-the-art and highly customer-focused means of communication.

A holistic approach with a combination of plant remedies and minerals is the answer to maintain your party stamina for the festive season.
Lucy Stephens of London’s Reva Clinic, has a few top tips that will see you through the season the natural way.

In the first instance Lucy suggests taking Milk Thistle tablets – “not as an excuse to drink more alcohol!” says Lucy “but taking Milk Thistle on a regular basis can help to protect the liver against toxic damage. Milk Thistle was a herb traditionally used to protect the liver against poisoning from snake bites, poisonous mushrooms and alcohol.”

If you have drunk too much on the odd occasion during the party season then Lucy suggests “a nice cup of tea” – sounds very traditional but Lucy recommends Nettle or Dandelion herbal teas for their antioxidant properties. “Alcohol is toxic to the body and when it is metabolized it produces oxidants and so antioxidants are necessary to counter this process and help the body to detox and heal. You could also try taking Swedish Bitters – a combination of herbs which is traditionally used for digestion and maintaining energy levels. And if you are all partied out and need an instant reviver then try Rhodiola rosea which can reduce fatigue and increase mental performance and concentration.”

Lucy concludes her recommendations with tips for bath and bedtime – “a detoxifying Epsom Salt bath 3 times a week will help to eliminate harmful toxins. Add a couple of cups of Epsom Salt to a bath of water and then off to bed for a good night’s sleep. When we sleep the body is able to repair cells and engage in the detoxification process so if you have been over indulging and burning the candle at both ends your body has a lot more work to do so try to have a good sleep – the average person usually needs between 6 – 9 hours a day.”
