PRODUCTS
How can you say that your moisturisers are alcohol free, when they have the ingredient cetearyl alcohol?
We are glad to hear that you read ingredient lists thoroughly, and I agree with you that alcohol (in the form of denatured spirits or isopropyl alcohol) is not a desirable ingredient in moisturisers. We are even happier to tell you that cetearyl alcohol is not that kind of alcohol, but a fatty alcohol/emulgator that is a protecting and moisturising ingredient. If you are interested in learning more about this, we can recommend this article from Paula’s Choice: alcohol in skincare. Here is a quote: “Just to be 100% clear, there are other types of alcohols, known as fatty alcohols, which are absolutely non-irritating and can be exceptionally beneficial for skin. Examples you’ll see on ingredient labels include cetyl, stearyl, and cetearyl alcohol. All of these are good ingredients for dry skin, and in small amounts fine for any skin type as they give a pleasing texture and help keep ingredients stable in products. It’s important to discern these skin-friendly forms of alcohol from the problematic types of alcohol.»
It is important to me that what I eat and what I put on my body is safe, pure, preferably organic and have as little chemicals as possible, and I am wondering if your products are in line with this or not?
Our products are pure, mild and developed to cause the least possible risk for adverse reactions, but do check the ingredient list before use if you have known allergies. Our products are paraben-free and contain no colourants. We use mostly only organic oils, where possible. And we do not test on animals, of course.
What should I choose, shaving cream or shaving soap?
This mostly depends on your personal preference, style and skin. Read our post on how to choose between shaving soap and shaving cream. If you need further help, please take contact with us.
It is so difficult to decide which fragrance to buy, how can I choose?
Ha! Our favourite question to answer: You don’t have to choose, at least not before you have tried! We have made it easy for you to try them all with our Islands Hopping set.
