Beyond Organic Skincare- a beautiful handmade story

 

by Deborah Miarkowska

Beyond Organic Skincare are a small, family business, based in Cornwall in a heart-breakingly beautiful part of the Lizard Peninsula.

We hand make all our products in our workshop overlooking St. Anthony’s and ‘beyond’ to St Mawes and Falmouth.

All of our products are certified organic by the BDAA (Biodynamic Agricultural Association),UK6 and EU Regulation 2092/91, and have been Safety Tested in compliance with Cosmetic Products Safety Regulations.

All of the ingredients in our products are certified organic at source. We have just started using a cutting edge natural plant extract which is totally natural and non-allergic which cuts out the need for a preservative.

We call ourselves ‘Beyond’ organic as we go further than just being organic and take a holistic, biodynamic, ethical approach to our production techniques. All of our (slightly nutty) team are committed to organics, recycling, natural, ecological, fair-trade and carbon footprint issues.
Our Products are not tested on animals and are all suitable for vegetarians. Some are also vegan friendly. They are hand-made, 100% natural and certified organic.

We have won two Top Awards for Facial skincare and have also been given the ‘Gold Seal of Approval’ by Dr Marilyn Glenvillle PhD – her highest award in her exacting requirements.

We use only those ingredients that are beneficial and that in synergy with each other create a special, holistic formula that exceeds the sum of its individual ingredients.

We do NOT use:

Parabens, Synthetic Fragrances, Colourants, sodium Lauryl/Laurel sulphate, Ethyl alcohol, PEG’s, Petrochemicals, Formaldehyde, DEA, TEA, Urea, genetically modified materials, emulsifiers with hidden additives, synthetic additives or any other harsh and unnecessary chemicals.

We do not even use the following synthetic ingredients, which are allowed in Certified Organic products: Benzoic acid, Salicylic acid, Sorbic acid, Benzyl alcohol.

We DO use:

Fantastic natural, organic ingredients, in generous amounts. All our products are rich in Omegas 3,6, 7 & 9 (essential for the health and elasticity of the skin), vitamins A, B, C,D & E and antioxidants. Plant and herb extracts infused ‘in house’ to extract the maximum vibrancy and goodness from them. Therapeutic extracts. Recyclable packaging coloured with vegetable dye to protect the therapeutic ingredients from light.

Nature has supplied ALL we need to nurture us – chemical additives are not only bad for you, because they are absorbed into the body – they do not help the skin either. Let’s face it – if all the claims made for various products worked, we would all be walking around with skins like a 20 year old! However, if you are sensible and ‘feed’ the skin in a very similar way to that which you feed your body, then you can help with the overall health, elasticity and tone of the skin.

The Beyond Organic Skincare Team.
