The trend in all natural skin care products is rapidly gaining popularity and it’s no wonder. We’ve started to become more aware of the ingredients that go into our food – so it makes sense that we are becoming increasingly concerned about what’s absorbed into our skin. You may not be aware of this fact but a massive 60% of what you put onto your skin will be absorbed into the bloodstream. You’ve tried organic food, well why not take it a step further with organic cosmetics.

Radiant Glow Botanicals concept is based on the perfect merger between nature and technology; all natural ingredients combined with cutting-edge modern skin care technology.  

“In our natural cosmetic products, raw botanical materials are used in their original form. Like plant oils, as their fatty acid composition is similar to that of the skin absorption is improved. Think Rapeseed Oil, Shea Butter, Wheat Germ oil, Olive Oil, Aloe Vera, Jojoba Oil and lots more.”

“The main benefit of natural cosmetics is that they are easier on the skin, allowing it to breathe more naturally and easily. This means a reduction in clogged pores and imperfections. The absence of harsh chemicals means the skin is less likely to become dry and dull looking, and there is less risk of allergies or infections,”

One of their best selling products is the Radiant Glow botanical brightening lotion, a unique body toner that brightens skin complexion.  It contains natural fruits extract with (AHA), to even-out skin tone and lightens dark spots left over from acne and liver spots. This is also available as a brightening cream for the face. A unique lightening cream with (AHA) inhibits production of melanin (skin pigment) and disperses existing melanin. Clear skin discolorations, blemishes, pigmentation, spots and reduce fine lines and wrinkles including age spots. This will leave you with a natural, radiant looking complexion.

“As a society we want products that promote health and wellness. We crave anything that comes from nature, not the laboratory. Consumers also perceive that natural products are superior in quality to artificial counterparts. We are more environmentally aware than ever before, making us enthusiastic about products from companies that accept responsibility for the environment,“

Changing values in society has certainly contributed to market place growth and explain why cosmetics market is going organic. In Britain, the organic market has almost reached 2 billion, with a 30% increase in the number of health and beauty licensees approved by the Soil Association. On the other hand, conventional cosmetic industries are seeing no growth.

Certain synthetic ingredients used in cosmetics have faced considerable negative press. This has only served to solidify the negative perceptions of chemicals for consumers. Media coverage of the possible carcinogenic effects of phthalates and triclosan, used in hair care, oral hygiene and colour cosmetics, has encouraged people to shop for alternative products containing natural ingredients.

“You’d be amazed at the chemicals and toxins that go into some face creams,”

“Take Petrochemicals for example, derived from crude oil. Petroleum-based ingredients such as petrolatum, mineral oil, and paraffin create a barrier when applied to the skin.This barrier does not allow the skin to breathe and can clog pores. Not only are these ingredients unhealthy, they’re actually bad for the skin too.”

This is shocking news. What’s also disturbing is that lax labelling laws allow hundreds of products to be marketed as natural when they’re not. The phrase "naturally-inspired" is used an awful lot these days, unfortunately, it is used to describe products made of active chemical ingredients. Criticism has also been aimed at products labelled "organic" where only a tiny percentage of the product's ingredients were certifiably organic and were often mixed with potentially carcinogenic ingredients.

“At Radiant Glow Botanicals we want you to enjoy a truly natural experience. Take for example our Exfoliating Bar 100% pure, natural, exfoliating cleansing bar, with ground almond shell, which gently exfoliates dead skin cells while rich whole goat milk nourishes and gently moisturises the outer layer of the skin. This leaves your skin soft and smooth touch while the vegetable glycerine restores suppleness with no drying feeling. Genuinely natural ingredients that were in fact inspired by Cleopatra who bathed daily in goats milk to keep her skin soft.  Goat Milk contains lactic acid, a kind of alpha hydroxyl acid used in the beauty products of today, in addition to Walnut shell granules which exfoliates the skin, removing the dead skin cells, for younger, radiant looking skin.”

Society could certainly learn a thing or two from our ancient ancestors. There are a myriad of documented ancient cosmetic remedies. The pharaohs documented extensively the natural ingredients that they used in cosmetics, toiletries and aromatherapy. Queen Nefertiti and Cleopatra both used Aloe Vera on their skin. Aloe Vera is rich in antioxidants, known for their anti-aging properties, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. Archaeologists have also unearthed jars that contain residues of ancient skincare products at Cleopatra’s spa, located on the Dead Sea. Chemists analysed the residue from one jar, and found that it had the same chemical composition as asphalt. Asphalt was a black bituminous asphalt mud taken from the Dead Sea.

Just like ancient recipes, products by Radiant Glow Botanicals are highly effective and truly naturally inspired, free from – chemicals, toxins and carcinogens. Mother Nature knows best so why not join in the skincare revolt?
