Hey Earth’s Enrichers!

The holiday season is coming up. Before you know it, it’ll be here—do you know what you’re going to get those special someones? We at EE may have a few ideas. With the colder and harsher weather, it is best to pay extra attention to your skin, making sure it is properly moisturized and has all of its proper nutrition. This holiday season we are offering a wide variety of gift and gift sets.  Three of our featured soap gift sets are: the Sampler, the Triple Treat, and the Combo gift set.  In the Sampler gift set you will receive a full size body bar of your choice and one mini body bar of each scent (7 in total).   In the Triple Treat gift set you will receive three full bar soaps of your choice and in the Combo gift set you will receive one full size bar soap and a wooden square soap dish.

For these gift sets you can choose from any of our lavish scents—Lavender of the Valley, Lemon Fresh Shea, Fresh Ground (Vanilla) Java, Honey Granola, Calming Spa Seaweed, Chai La Tea, and Naturally Nude. Each one of these body bars is USDA organic certified, and made with the finest ingredients. They also all have a coconut base, meaning that at the beginning of the production of each and every one of these bars, we start with coconut oil. Coconut oil is rich and helps keep your skin moisturized.  It also helps with stretch marks and acts as a natural sunscreen. We are all-natural, cruelty-free (absolutely no testing on animals), gluten free and vegan* (*except Honey Granola). Most importantly, in our soaps there are absolutely no parabens, sulfates, phthalates, petroleum, artificial coloring, artificial fragrances, or any preservatives.

Organic Skin Care: Moisturizing

 

Organic Skin Care - MoisturizingHey Earth’s Enrichers!

So far we have touched on all the main skincare steps from cleansing to exfoliating.  Now, we’ve arrived at one of the last but most important steps to skincare maintenance, and that is moisturizing. Moisturizing should occur all throughout your skincare process.  In other words, when picking all of your selected skin products, make sure that they have some moisturizing properties them. That way when you bathe and exfoliate you are not stripping or drying out your skin.   

Moisturizing is one of the most essential steps in skincare because it keeps your skin from dehydrating and becoming easily damaged. It protects your skin and prevents it from being split, cut, or torn.  Take for example the feeling of putting on silk right out of the dryer when it is full of static.  Your clothes and sheets will irritate your skin if it’s dry.  It will feel as if pieces of your skin are getting caught and pulled by the materials. Your skin could end up feeling drier and irritated. This is not a good feeling.

In contrast, moisturizing your skin regularly, let’s say once a day or every time you wash your hands, will keep your skin hydrated and conditioned. Keeping your skin hydrated makes the healing process easier for your skin. Also, it increases the soft, smooth feeling of your skin (Isn’t that the best compliment?).  It also keeps your skin looking fresh and younger. When you neglect to moisturize your skin, wrinkles, blemishes, and other signs of aging tend to be more prevalent. 

The best time to moisturize is right out of the shower (you know after exfoliating). This way it locks in the hydration and effectively replenishes your skin.  Also, routinely moisturizing can help with some types of dry skin conditions.  So, make sure that you moisturize frequently and that you chose the right moisturizer for your skin.

When it comes to your face, moisturizing is still important after cleansing. Your skin can become flaky and just as irritated if not cleansed then moisturized properly. Still, keep in mind that you must look for products that are right for your skin type. Also, look for facial moisturizers that are oil-free so you don’t clog your pores.

The EE 411:

There is a difference between lotion moisturizers and creams. Lotions are much lighter and can contain less oil than creams.  Creams on the other hand are a lot thicker and contain more oil.

In choosing which to use for your skin, the key determinant should be your skin type. If your skin is naturally oily and doesn’t always need to be moisturized, it is better to use lotions than creams.  However, if your skin is not naturally oily and you have cases of extreme dryness, you should be more inclined to use creams.

Remember, you can always overdo it. Overdoing moisturizers could lead to clogged pores. To avoid this, first find out what your skin type is and chose a lotion or cream that best suits you.

Organic Skin Care 101

Organic Skin Care 101

Welcome Back Earth’s Enrichers! The school year has officially started and it’s time for some fun and beneficial skincare education. Don’t worry, we won’t lecture you, but let’s look at why we do what we do to our skin. So, let’s begin, why is skincare important? Seriously! Let’s think about it.

 There are certain regiments that we practice as our signature skincare routine.  Although it’s not always in the same order, we cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize, apply sunscreen, use shaving cream when shaving, and wash our hair. Have you ever thought about what happened if we didn’t do some of these things? 

If we didn’t perform healthy skincare practices, we would weaken our most prominent protection against the environment (not to mention we’d be quite smelly as well). Proper skin care helps strengthen our body’s largest organ. For instance, if we don’t clean our skin we leave it exposed to germs, infections, and bacteria that could break our skin out. This could also cause long term damage.

During the course of the next few weeks, we will talk more in depth with you about the importance of the following skin rituals: cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, applying sunscreen, the pros and cons of using shaving cream while shaving, and washing our hair. 

The EE 411

Although skincare is quite important, it can be too much of a good thing. Say you love peanut butter and you eat it every day, sooner or later you will begin to rethink your desire. The same goes for over cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, applying sunscreen, shaving and even washing your hair in some cases. By overdoing even one of these things you could irritate or damage your skin. The key is knowing your skin and how to balance your regiment.

Tell Us: What are some of your skincare routines that you can’t live without? For instance, moisturizing your hands before you go to bed.

Organic Soap – This Not That

Top Quality Products

 

Hey everybody!

At Earth’s Enrichments we felt that it was time to give you detailed insight into why our body bars are made the way that they are.  We did lots of homework and studied the best ingredients for your skin.  In doing so, we have avoided using some harmful compounds and chemicals in our soaps.  Here’s what we have excluded– our body bars have absolutely no parabens, sulfates, phthalates, petroleum, artificial coloring, artificial fragrances, nor any preservatives.

These above ingredients have been known to produce harmful effects to the skin and can result in discomfort. We know what it’s like to have sensitive skin and have some elements in the average soap break you out. We know what it’s like to have skin irritation and can’t find skin care products that won’t irritate your skin further. We also know what it’s like to use an organic soap and have it not meet your expectation.   So, we have used our experiences and homework to make our soap with you and your skin in mind.

The EE 411

We at EE offer an all-natural and USDA certified organic soap that does not include parabens, sulfates, phthalates, petroleum, artificial coloring, artificial fragrances, or preservatives.  Below are brief descriptions for each chemical and the possible effects that they can have on your body.  We encourage you to do your own homework and look more into them. You will find it quite interesting!

Parabens

Parabens are a compound that is made to chemically preserve cosmetics and pharmaceutical products.  They were made chemically as a cheaper alternative to natural fungicides and bactericides such as grapefruit seed extract (GSE).

Although they may be a cheaper alternative, with constant usage they can have some, both minor and major, health risks. Parabens have been found in breast cancer tumors and are known to mimic estrogen.   Although there is not a correlation between cancer and parabens, the ability to mimic estrogen could be responsible for early puberty in girls.

Sulfates

Sulfates are mineral salts that contain sulfur. It is used in food, beverages, hair and skin care products.  It has been known to dry out the skin and scalp causing it to become itchy.  Also, if it gets into your eyes, it can irritate them (remember what happens when you shampoo).  Substantial exposure to sulfates can cause diarrhea, intestinal pain, and a bit of a decrease normal stomach acidity.

Phthalates

Phthalates are actually plasticizers which gives substances it is added to flexibility, longevity, and durability. This means phthalates add plastic to whatever it is in. This includes deodorants, nail polish, hair spray, perfumes, lotions, creams, and powders), and baby products. Its main function in lotion is to help penetrate the skin and soften it. It also helps maintain the fragrance.

When used in skincare products it can be absorbed through the skin, entered into the bloodstream and traces can be found in urine. It can even be found in the urine of infants whose mothers used skincare products with phthalates during pregnancy.  Substantial amounts of phthalates are known to cause hormone imbalances and birth defects.

Petroleum

Petroleum is a highly flammable liquid that contains hydrocarbons, some molecular weights, crude oils, and other liquid organic compounds. When we say organic compounds we mean fossil fuels (the main ingredient in this are dead organisms).

Short term effects of crude petroleum hydrocarbons can be respiratory problems, depression, anxiety disorder, and other mental disorders.

Artificial Coloring

Artificial coloring can be found in lotions, shampoos, soaps, and other such products and can contain certain amounts of metal allotments. Some of those metal allotments could consist of arsenic, lead, and mercury. These metals are known to cause gastrointestinal (orally taken), and could contaminate the skin. 

Artificial Preservatives

Artificial preservatives come in many forms like nitrates, sulphur dioxide, sulfites, and parabens. They are highly allergenic, toxic, and are known to cause tumors. Some of these artificial preservatives can also contain small amounts of formaldehyde. This can irritate the skin, cause cancer, and could even damage the nervous system.

Artificial Fragrances

Artificial fragrances are often made using petrochemicals (natural scents mixed with petroleum).  They can irritate the skin, aggravate asthma, and cause nausea, mood change, depression, lethargy, restlessness, irritability, memory lapses, and the inability to concentrate. 

Tell Us:  Can you feel the difference in your skin when you use products that do not contain any chemicals?  Give it a try!
