Are the mass produced products owned by the giant skincare and hair care conglomerates any better? or do consumers buy them because of great marketing and the use of influencers?
Is there a difference between Men’s skincare/hair care and women’s? Differences in regular soap and shampoo?
My observations and opinions may not bode well with the giants in the industry or many of our esteemed colleagues.
On a recent trip to India and having grown up in third world countries in the Middle East, I have witnessed extreme sub standard hygiene practices. From barbers who set up a chair in the middle of a busy walkway with no running water, to people who wash their face, hair and body in the same water and with the same one bar of soap they wash their clothes and dishes with.
Yet, one marvels in the natural beauty and the glow of their skin and their beautiful and luxurious hair.
All without the expensive shampoos and conditioners, the over priced serums and moisturizers and certainly without government regulations and oversight.
So why is it that the best qualities of hair for wigs are always imported from the poorest nations with the worst hygiene and without the use of expensive grooming products? namely India and China.
If the beautifully packaged, overpriced, fancy names and the fad ingredients were so much more superior, shouldn’t the roles be reversed and American and European hair and skin be the envy of the world?
It is certainly worth asking and investigating.
One thing that is different in third world countries, is their use of natural oils. No fad ingredients every season, acids, chemicals, preservatives, colors or artificial fragrances in their hair care or skincare products.
Just one bar of soap, made either from vegetable or animal fats for cleansing of the hair, body, clothes and dishes, and 100% natural oils and waxes as conditioners and skin moisturizers.
This, is our philosophy at NaturesOrganix.net.
All Natural, All the time. No Exceptions.
We hope this starts a discussion and opens some minds.
