why choose natural / organic?

Have you wondered why cancer, diseases, allergies, and other skin disorders have increased so much in the last 20 years? Well, we believe that this is because today, the majority of what we put into our bodies via food, and what we put onto our bodies with skincare is genetically modified and often a concoction of synthetic and potentially harmful chemicals. Our bodies simply don’t know how to cope with this influx of chemicals and chemically enhanced ingredients or how to get rid of them.

As your skin absorbs up to 60% of what you put on it, it is essential to use products that contain only pure & natural ingredients. The penetration of molecules through your face and scalp is 5-10 times higher than the rest of your body.

Organic foods are now being widely recognised for their therapeutic benefits over genetically modified, and those grown with chemicals and synthetic enhancers. Synthetic preservatives, additives, colours and flavours are something that we are increasingly aware of in the foods we buy. Take a look at the products in your bathroom cabinet. Can the same be said about them? Your skin may be absorbing a potent concoction of skin irritants. The widespread use of nicotine patches clearly demonstrates that we absorb what goes onto our skin. It is a direct line to our blood streams.

Carmajé is committed to using Certified Organic oils and extracts wherever possible. We examine the country of origin, the certification level and the properties of the oils / extracts themselves when determining which ingredients we use.

We are committed to sourcing non-genetically modified ingredients.
We openly display full ingredient listings as we have nothing to hide and are vey proud of all our products.
Our products are preserved with natural plant based preservatives and anti-oxidants.

We believe that there are no “miracle products”. You get out of your body what you put into it and onto it. A healthy diet, exercise, and plenty of water are a great start. Together with pure botanical ingredients in your skincare products, you will feel better, to help you live life to your full potential!

Learn to read and understand skincare and cosmetics labels. Beware of companies that claim to be "natural" or "organic" but who also use synthetic chemicals in their formulations.

What does organic mean?

Logos The term organic is often claimed in misleading contexts in many of our leading brands. It is often used if the ingredients “come from nature”. All ingredients essentially come from nature. What I believe is important is the level of processing or chemical tampering that each ingredient has undergone before it is used. This primarily means the plant has not been grown with the use of chemical fertilizers and hormones and that the plant in not genetically modified.

Look for the term "Certified Organic" ingredients in all your foods and skincare. This means that the ingredient meets the rigorous criteria set out by the independent certifying body – not just a marketing claim.

What does natural mean?

The term natural is even more misleadingly used in product marketing. It is often used if the ingredient “comes from nature”. Again, all ingredients are derived from nature. What I believe is important is that the ingredients used are not synthetic or chemically derived.

We use ingredients that are as close to natural form as possible – pure cold pressed and organic vegetable oils, pure herbal extracts and 100% pure and organic essential oils. Ingredients in their purest form maintain the highest levels of purity for therapeutic benefit.

It is important that you become educated enough to be able to read ingredient listings, so that you are armed with knowledge, and the power to choose what you put into, and onto your body.
