Cosmetics

This section deals primarily with natural cosmetics. The ingredients in the range of cosmetic products from Orchard Beauty includes many natural ingredients where possible. The medik8 range is sourced from the purest natural ingredients – synergised where necessary with the latest advances in bio-technology to create  Mercedes-Benz skincare products – top of the range products aimed at taking years off your appearance and improving your confidence and well-being.

Natural cosmetics are skincare products using ingredients derived from natural sources (such as herbal products, essential oils and flowers etc combined with naturally occurring agents – anything from naturally produced soap to pure H20. The classic definition of natural cosmetics is based around using naturally sourced ingredients from nature without the use of synthetic chemical products and manufactured in such a way as to keep the integrity of its component part intact.

As a result, people who use skin care products often create their own products themselves using natural ingredients. There are many old wives stories about the benefits of particular ingredients however studies have shown scientifically that ingredients like Chamomile have shown that they can heal and have anti-inflammation benefits if applied on the skin.

Natural cosmetics have their roots in 4000 years before Christ in the far east and middle east. It is thought that the Egyptians created a whole range of cosmetics for a whole range of skin care conditions. In recent years many, many people have turned towards natural skin care ideas.

Some type of natural cosmetics include safflower, witch hazel and chamomile. Many of these can be focussed towards a persons own skin type or condition.

Natural cosmetics transcends applying products on your own skin. It also represents a concept an idea, a philosophy about holistic health. This includes the idea that what you eat also affects your health critically, including the health of your own skin.

There isn’t however any clear idea of what is natural according the FDA in the United States. Everything is really a chemical. The idea of natural has a great marketing importance in terms of marketing cosmetic products to the consumer market.

Ayuverdic skin care, organic skin care, honey skin care, shea butter skin care, johoba skin care all have their benefits. At Orchard Beauty we believe that natural skin care only has a certain role to play. Skincare biotechnology from medik8 products has the benefit of really producing very effective results some natural products cannot even achieve. A mixture of natural ingredients with those produced through effective scientific research we believe can produce the most effective results. Our Pretox 20, Pretox 10 and red Alert Thread Vein Serum are all testament to this idea which we passionately believe in and espouse.
