Spa & Salon - Going Green with Natural & Organic Products

Balance! We always hear about this but it isn't ever enough. Balance in lifestyle, balance in diet, balance in views, balance in habits...but what really is balance? It's all about maintaining a natural equilibrium...

Hmm...and is that answer really helpful? What does maintaining a natural equilibrium entail when it comes to body and skin? Simple! It involves two of these actions:

1. Maintaining a balanced diet because what we eat reflects on our skin

2. Making sure whatever that is that goes through your skin and into your body i.e via beauty or skin care products also have their balance!

And what's the easiest way to seek balance? Through nature!

In what concerns the spa, scientists have confirmed the fact that treatments based on natural products are more useful and more recommended than the other ones because they assure the body the entire complex of vitamins and minerals this needs in order to look fabulous!

These are some of the brands that going green spas and salons highly recommend (and see what Nature's Basin has to say about each of them):

Pangea Organics

While it's the largest maker of cold-processed organic soaps in the United States, Pangea Organics is still small enough to mix its products by hand. Based in Boulder, Colorado, the company also creates body lotions and washes, massage oils, and facial care. Made with only organic and fair-trade ingredients, its products are known for being effective as well as eco-conscious. A portion of the company's profits go to fund the Pangea Institute, a nonprofit that helps spread the ideas of sustainable business worldwide.

Sophyto

This unique line from the United Kingdom has a holistic approach and is made with 95% organic ingredients and fair-trade sourced from around the world. Inspired by the concepts of complementary and alternative medicine, Sophyto is a soothing line that seeks to feed the skin the nutrients it needs so it can heal and maintain itself. Its products are vegan, contain no essential oils, and feature active nutrients in whole food form. Using biodegradable ingredients means the company can compost a large portion of its waste.

Weleda

Started in the 1920s by a group of Swiss doctors and scientists who believed in natural ingredients and holistic medicine, Weleda is named for the Celtic goddess of wisdom and healing. To make its wide selection of gentle family products, the company seeks out biodynamic, organic, and fair-trade ingredients from around the globe, including Europe's largest medicinal plant gardens in Germany. Weleda has a strong focus on ingredients from the earth, and preps these components in the purist way possible, according to pharmaceutical grade standards.

Inara

A maker of sensual, eco-friendly spa products since 2001, Inara has built its product line around the rich oil of the Amazonian babassu palm. The company purchases the oil from an indigenous women's cooperative, supporting families in remote northeastern Brazil where babassu oil has been harvested for centuries. Made with a focus on fair trade and using exclusively certified organic ingredients, including a unique essential oil blend, Inara successfully combines indulgent body care and a concern for the citizens of the world.
