There are many reasons why it is desirable to use products that contain only natural and certified organic ingredients. Firstly, our skin is our largest organ and it absorbs the products we use through our pores. By using natural products, we are reducing the number of harmful chemicals entering our body and circulating round our system. It has been found that some synthetic preservatives , once absorbed by the body, store in our organs and continue working in our bodies for long periods of time. Many commonly used synthetic ingredients are suspected carcinogens (cancer causing).

The importance of this becomes heightened with new babies, who have more vulnerable skin that is easily irritated. Using chemical ingredients on the skin of new babies can harm the development of the protective skin barrier and lead to future skin complaints. Secondly, if you choose to use products containing certified organic ingredients, this means that there will be far less contamination from pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers than alternative products.

Why it’s more expensive?

Like most products that use only natural and organic ingredients, Ayana Organics’ skin care range is more expensive than ordinary commercial skin care products. This is simply because the ingredients we use in Ayana products are 100% natural and certified organic. Organic methods of farming are far more costly and therefore the raw ingredients derived from organically grown plants increases. Natural and certified organic raw ingredients and pure organic essential oils are far more expensive than their cheap synthetic counterparts, however, we believe that in the long run, it is money well spent for you and your little one. Your skin and your planet will thank you.
