Why go Organic?
WORTHWHILE COMMITMENT.
Just like we nourish our body with organic foods, our skin deserves care with organic beauty products. Many non-organic beauty products on the market today include an astonishing amount of frightening chemicals that would be in your best interest to avoid. Of course a lot of the products we have become accustomed to using have many perks in their application, which is why we have allowed them into our routine. Taking a closer look at the long term implications of using some of these chemicals, KIECMORE® found a way to combine the things you want and need, without compromising and including harmful substances.
An example of this is Parabens. Parabens are a whole family of chemicals (methylparabens, propylparabens, butylparabens, and ethylparabens) that help preserve shelf-life of products. These will probably be the most recurring substances that will pop up as they are found in nearly every product from face wash, night cream, makeup, masks, body wash and shampoo.
We totally avoided using Parabens as they can mimic oestrogen in the body disrupting our delicate hormonal balance. They’ve been linked to breast cancer, and since they act as a hormone disruptor they can lead to reproductive and fertility issues.
Another example of a chemical we aimed to avoid successfully was Phthalates, a group of chemicals used to soften and increase the flexibility of plastics in cosmetics. This helps products stick to our skin.
We avoided putting Phthalates in any of our products as they can be extremely dangerous to children, but it’s best to avoid them all together as they can be serious endocrine disruptors and even cause birth defects.
Our products at KIECMORE® have been tried and tested over the past 10 years against popular products in the market to see if there is in fact a healthier substitute for the chemicals mentioned above. In finding this our organic, handmade, Shea Butter Body Cream stands firm as our flagship product. Promoting the necessity of pure skin care, replenishing as much as providing an indulgently rich butter texture that sinks into the skin. If we eat healthily, we lead healthy lifestyles by going to the gym and exercising, there is no reason why we cannot adhere to the same standards in our skin care!
