Organic Beauty Inspired By Nature.
Our mission is to help bring awareness and the importance of healthy, organic, and raw choices for skin products and care to men and women who want to nourish their skin without harmful ingredients.
This intimate, family company was born with the idea of using only the finest organic, earth-made and raw materials to achieve the healthiest of skin products. im natural never uses:
X fillers harsh X preservatives
X artificial dyes. X chemicals
X sulfurs X fragrances
X parabens X alcohols
We use natural and organic herbs and spices to achieve variances in color. Fortunately some of those choices have additional skin benefits. Essential oils in their purest forms are used to achieve light and pleasing scents.
Below is a list of some common harmful ingredients. This is by no means a complete list, but some of the more popular ingredients commercially used, and now, unfortunately, I've seen some of these in homemade products. You should look out for:
X fillers harsh X preservatives
X artificial dyes. X chemicals
X sulfurs X fragrances
X parabens X alcohols
