We recently received a wonderful testimonial from one of our customers that we just had to share with everyone.”I thought that you would like to know how Oy! Cleanse and Moisturise has helped my skin. I am a 52 year old woman with rosacea – I have very red cheeks and chin, but have not reached the spotty stage yet. I have been waiting on the NHS for laser treatment for over a year, but wasn’t expecting much from it anyway.I had a sample sachet of Oy! Cleanse and Moisturise from a magazine that has been in my drawer for ages. As soon as I used it recently, my skin felt better. I have since bought a tube and have been using it about two weeks. The improvement in my skin is amazing. The redness has reduced by at least a half.This product, I feel, is not just for teenagers. You could well market it towards older people with rosacea. I have spent a fortune over the last few years on expensive products that had no effect at all. I have also spent months on antibiotics that made me feel awful. Your product has worked wonders for my skin. And no nasty tablets.”Dr A. L.

Green People is delighted to have won Best Sun Care Product at the Ethical Living Magazine Awards 2010!Our organic sun lotion SPF15 was the product voted most popular in the Sun Care category. Its tan accelerator, gentle formula and pleasant lavender scent make this product a favourite with many.Here’s a quote from one of our happy customers about the SPF15 sun lotion:”I just wanted to drop you a line to say how fantastic your suncreams are. In the past I have found that I have tanned very unevenly but your creams have stopped this. I have just come back from a week in Spain and I have the best tan I have ever had (I am blonde and quite fair skinned) – I didn’t burn at all. The SPF 15 with tan accelerator is great. I would recommend your creams to everyone, but especially to those who have difficulty tanning.” A, from LondonWe also were awarded the Highly Commended award in the Best Baby Product category for our Lavender Baby Wash and Shampoo.This ultra-mild wash is mild enough for babies with sensitive skin and features 81% organic ingredients. It is certified organic with the Organic Food Federation, as with most of the Organic Babies range.

New research has proven the calming benefits of the scent of Jasmine, one of the ingredients found in Green People’s Organic Body Spa range.When breathed in through aroma in the air, Jasmine was found to enhance the performance of a chemical in the brain which promotes restfulness and relieves anxiety.The author of the study says that his results can “be seen as evidence of a scientific basis for aromatherapy”.There are over 300 species of Jasmine around the world and it is known as “the King of Oils” thanks to its sensual and exotic scent.It is very popular – perhaps due to its calming properties – and is used in many fragrances and skin care products, though often from a chemical approximation rather than actually derived from the plant.The reason for this is it takes more than five million flowers to create a kilo of pure jasmine absolute!Green People does not use jasmine absolute – this extraction process is not allowed under organic schemes – but instead uses jasmine extract in its Organic Body Spa range.It is found in the Rejuvenating Facial Oil, Rejuvenating Cleansing Balm and Sheer Pamper Body Oil.Although the predominant scent in the Spa range in Ylang ylang, the presence of Jasmine oil is a soothing addition which is kind to the skin and particularly suited to mature and sensitive skin types.

We regularly hear from people who have suffered painful underarms for years, only to try one of our natural deodorants and find they can use them without discomfort.Sensitivities to deodorants and antiperspirants are relatively common and can be aggravated by the use of harsh ingredients in the products being used. Artificial fragrances – a big part of what gives many deodorising products their identity – are one of the known culprits. Often hidden under the catch-all tag “aroma” or “parfum”, they can incorporate lots of different synthetic chemicals in order to create a certain scent.Pore-clogging aluminium chlorohydrate and aluminium zirconium chlorohydrate are two common ingredients found in antiperspirants that may also cause problems for some. They can cause skin irritation and general inflammation, and the manner in which they work (plugging the pores) means that the body is unable to sweat out toxins.Green People’s natural deodorants offer an effective alternative to harsh synthetic antiperspirants. Naturally antibacterial and antiseptic, they control the growth of the bacteria that cause odour and are made without pore-clogging aluminium and parabens.They utilise the natural scents of essential oils rather than artificial chemicals and there is even a fragrance-free deodorant for those with ultra-sensitive skin.See our natural deodorants now!

Skin Care :DIY Homemade Soap for Silky Smooth Skin

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 02:57:10 +0000

Years ago many people made their own soap to save money, thus it was made using lard (usually not recommended for soap making) and uncertain strengths of lye. Homemade soap from years past often resulted in a harsh, smelly soap and more often than not irritated the skin. Compared to soaps of yesteryear, we have come along way in the soap making process and ingredients.

Years ago many people made their own soap to save money, thus it was made using lard (usually not recommended for soap making) and uncertain strengths of lye. Homemade soap from years past often resulted in a harsh, smelly soap and more often than not irritated the skin. Compared to soaps of yesteryear, we have come along way in the soap making process and ingredients.

Today it is possible to make exceptional soap right in the comfort of your kitchen. Additionally making your own soap offers so much more benefits to your skin than what you can purchase in the store. Department store fine soaps can often run up to per bar if not more and still lack the proper amount of ingredients that are truly beneficial for your skin. Thus making your own homemade soap with ingredients like cocoa butter, essential oils and herbal infusions, you are sure you are giving your skin the nutrients and moisture it needs. Additionally by selecting your own ingredients you can make your soap specific to your skin type. There are a variety of soap recipes; recipes for problem skin, such as acne and eczema, soaps to exfoliate just by adding some cut up loofah sponge into your recipe, and moisturizing soaps.

If you are considering making your own homemade soap, the glycerin rich Melt and Pour soaps is what I consider the easiest method. Melt and Pour soaps are easy to use, and blends with most fragrances, perfumes or essential oils. Additionally, Melt and Pour soaps are easy to color, pour into molds or cut with cookie cutters.

Another type of soap is Castile soap, which is made from pure olive oil. Pure castile soap has a different feel from what you are probably used to. I have heard some people describe it as smooth and creamy while others indicate that it feels slimy. With that said, most people make their Castile soap with three main ingredients: lye, water and pure olive oil. When and using lye, there are definite precautionary measures to take, such as rubber gloves, eye wear and a good ventilated room. Although this type of soap making may sound intimidating Castile soap is a wonderful soap and offers moisturizing benefits to the skin. Additionally just like the Melt and Pour soaps, you can add essential oils, fragrances and herbal infusions. Castile soap lathers lavishly and does not leave the skin tight like some commercial soap on the market.

Homemade soap is fun to make and is a great gift for any occasion. Additionally it is another way of going green by eliminating store bought packaging from landfills and eliminating the chemicals that are washed down the drain everyday. Additionally, homemade soap makes wonderful gifts! Start now for this years Christmas gifts!
