Do you throw away your eggshells?

Is egg shells good for your skin?
Eggshell is mild abrasive that will buff your skin by removing the dead skin layers and reveal clear smooth skin underneath. It contains over 750 to 800 milligrams of calcium, which promotes regeneration of new skin cells, lightens the blemishes and evens out the skin tone.


Eggshells are a great Natural alternative to the laboratory made sugar or salt scrubs.
Simply rinse your shells to remove any egg residue.


Completely dry either in the oven (Avoid browning), or in Natural sunlight.
Grind or pound into a fine powder. The more fine the powder, the more gentle it will be on the skin. Make sure to remove any large and sharp pieces.


Mix your favorite “Non Comodegenic” oil. We recommend Huile De Niche 100% Natural, 100% Organic. Argan Oil, or Hemp Seed Oil, for their Moisturizing, Nourishing and Anti Inflammatory properties.
Your all Natural, Healthy and nourishing scrub, is ready. Reap the benefits and enjoy.
Eggshells can also be used as a mask.
Beat an egg white until it is stiff, when it will appear white and foamy, mix in 1 teaspoon (tsp) of lemon juice and 1 tsp of honey.


Wash face with warm water.
Apply the mask to the skin using a fan brush or cotton pad.
Leave on the skin for 15 minutes.


Besides it’s amazing properties for skincare, Eggshells are also great for use in home and garden as a fertilizers and for pest control. 💟🙏
Because your health matters.

Stop Throwing Out Rice Water. Repurpose It In These 7 Creative Ways Instead

We are all about sustainable living and limiting food wastage, so here we are with a compilation of many unique ways you can repurpose rice water for your beauty routine. Rice water may just be the next golden DIY beauty hack, and why not!? It is easy to prepare and can be incorporated into care for your hair and skin for an all-round beautiful glow.

Rice water is loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, essential amino acids, and minerals, vital to any skincare routine. Here’s how you can make rice water a part of your skincare routine:
If you don’t already have some leftover water from cooking rice, prepare some by first rinsing about 100g of rice in water to remove impurities, and then leaving it to soak in 400 ml of water for 15 to 30 minutes.
After the soak, strain the cloudy liquid and transfer it to a bottle of your choice. You are then left with a unique all-purpose product beneficial to your skin and hair because of its valuable content.
 
To soothe irritated skin
A dermatological study has shown that two 15 minute baths of rice water every day helped soothe patients’ symptoms with atopic dermatitis. This is attributed to the anti-inflammatory properties of rice water.
As a gentle cleanser
If you are prone to allergies, then a natural and gentle cleanser like rice water may be best for you. To apply, soak some cotton wool in rice water and massage it into your skin. Let it dry naturally so that your skin absorbs the essence of the rice water. Do this daily for supple and glowing skin.
For sunburn
Rice water can also provide relief to people with sunburn as it quickens the skin’s healing process and prevents further damage. For an immediately soothing effect, cool the rice water before application.
A toner
Rice water keeps your skin looking young by promoting efficient blood circulation and maintaining your skin cells’ integrity. So, when applied as a toner, the solution increases blood flow, reducing pores’ appearance, and tightening the skin.
Soothe acne-prone skin
Thanks to the anti-inflammatory properties of rice water, it is highly beneficial to people with acne. It can soothe the redness and various inflammations associated with acne.
As a hair rinse
When applied to hair, rice water acts by promoting the hair’s elasticity and reducing friction, which is linked to hair damage.
After washing your hair like you usually would, give it a rinse with rice water. This will quickly give your hair a healthy sheen and strength.
You can also choose to apply the solution by massaging it into your scalp and then rinsing with clear water.
As a conditioner
Add a few drops of your favorite essential oils to rice water to make an all-natural hair conditioner. Apply the mixture after shampooing, leave it to work for 10 minutes, and rinse with cold water.

Shampoos, Soaps or body washes. Which do I use?

Shampoos, Soaps or body washes. Which do I use?
 
Since oils do not dissolve in water, The most effective way to remove oils and dirt from the skin and hair, is by using oils.
The base of All liquid soaps, bar soaps, shampoos and almost every other cleansing agents are oils. Oils need to go through a “Saponification Process”. Saponified oil or fat is a lipid substance treated with sodium or Potassium hydroxide to convert it into soap. Depending on whether they are liquid or bar soaps.
 
In most cases, no Sodium Hydroxide or Potassium Hydroxide, remains in the soap. This is why most soaps can claim they are all Natural.
Many soaps throughout history have used animal fat, also called tallow, to make soap. … Nowadays, most soaps you buy in stores are synthetically made. However, you can still find soaps made from animal fat, called tallow soaps.
Knowing that the base of every shampoo, soap and cleanser is the same, are there any differences between them?
 
After a “Cleansing Base” is created, other ingredients are added to the base, to market them either as as hand soaps, bath gels, bar soaps, shampoos or face and body washes. These can include waxes and butters, fragrances and whatever the “IN” ingredient may be at the time of production. All liquid soaps, shampoos, face and body cleansers are mostly water.
However, in order to keep the ingredients from separating, and to give it a longer shelf life, chemicals are added.
 
With marketing budgets in the Billions, the big companies saw the potential for exponential sales growth, by convincing customers that they need a different cleanser for different uses, when the soap base is exactly the same.
The short answer is YES, one can use an all natural Soap to wash your hair, scalp, body, face clothes and dishes.
 
There are obviously exceptions. Although pure soaps will remove dirt and oil, it can leave hair and skin dry. They don’t only remove dirt, but also the natural protective oils that our bodies produce.
At naturesOrganix.net , we urge all our valued clients to use products on their hair and skin, that are as natural as possible.
We think it is better to use a Natural Moisturizer after your cleansing process, in order to restore the oil and moisture balance in your skin and hair, rather than adding those to the soaps and shampoos during the cleansing process.

Who owns your cosmetic brands

Who owns your cosmetic brands, and why you should support small businesses who pour their heart and souls into producing exceptional products in small batches.
One of the biggest companies in the world is Unilever. They own over 400 cosmetic brands and have an annual advertising budget of 8 billion U.S. dollars! They own Dermalogica, Murad, Dove, Vaseline and hundreds more not to mention that they own as many food brands such as Lipton, Hellman’s Best foods, Ben & Jerrys etc. Their President was also once President of Procter & Gamble. Who owns Bobby Brown, Mac, Clinique, Origins, Jo Malone, Lab series, Creme De La Mer, Aveda and more?
 
What company owns your Louis Viutton Bag brand? It’s LVMH who also owns Benefit cosmetics, Sephora, Fresh, Givenchy Perfume, Guerlain, Moet Chandon and many more! Loccitane is also on the Hong Kong stock exchange and controlled by some men, who brag that they never even tried any of the products. They just look at numbers.
With advertising budgets in the billions, it makes it very hard for anyone to compete. They answer to shareholders and constantly buy out any competition.
 
I once read an article that said that 70% of the cosmetic industry is owned by 10 companies worldwide! After my brief analysis it seems it may be an even greater percentage!
It is time to make better choices when it comes to personal care items.
( Summarized from an article by Lavenderoil.com )
We at NaturesOrganix.net recommend buying from small independent developers and distributors who answer to you, instead of to the shareholders. 🙏💓

Mass produced products owned by the giant skincare

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.
