Why Organic is better

Good news if you love organic! Here's why..

A study conducted by an international team of experts at Newcastle University, has proven that organic crops are up to 60% higher in antioxidants compared to non-organic. This proves once and for all that eco-friendly farming really does improve the nutritional quality of our food.

This is the largest ever study of its kind and shows that there is a substantial nutritional benefit to choosing organic produce rather than food made from conventionally grown crops. The study concluded that by switching to organic fruit and vegetables, the additional antioxidants that you receive is equivalent to eating between 1-2 extra portions of fruit and vegetables a day.

As a result of this extensive study, increased cost may no longer be a reason not to shop 'pesticide free'. With more nutritionally dense fruit, vegetables and cereals, you can end up getting more for your money by simply switching to organic!

The study also proves that organic crops have significantly lower levels of cadmium, the toxic heavy metal. Like mercury and lead, cadmium can be extremely damaging to people who are repeatedly exposed, even at very low levels.

So what about organic beauty?

When it comes to organic beauty and skin care, antioxidants (which fight skin-damaging free radicals) are a large part of what makes natural products so effective. By using organic plant actives such as Flaxseed, Grape Seed Oil and Aloe Vera, for example, our products are particularly potent, delivering increased antioxidant content than non-organic skin care brands.

Watch out though - unfortunately many labels which claim 'natural' or 'organic' skin care are not actually completely truthful about their mission and only use these terms to better their products. Real organic products are certified and approved, and real natural products must contain 100% natural ingredients and be completely chemical-free.

So all of these findings show that thinking about how we use the land doesn’t just benefit the planet - it has a direct impact on our own health and wellbeing. If that’s not a reason to go organic we don’t know what is! It was once said that 'organic' and 'natural' may not be a very happy combination, but if something is given to the power of Nature and is untouched and unaided in its growing process, then it is as happy and as 'organic' as can be!
