We believe that natural is best and with that in mind, have chosen the most natural ingredients possible to include in our soaps and bath products.

There are no hidden nasties as we work with nature wherever possible and on this page we have listed all the miscellaneous ingredients that are needed to create our luxury, spa quality products. For your convenience we have included brief information about each ingredient that we use.

		Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Aloe vera contains numerous vitamins and minerals, enzymes, amino acids and natural sugars which are anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial. The combination and balance of the plant's ingredients are what gives it its healing properties and is extremely effective for easing the painful symptoms of skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and acne. It acts as a natural barrier that gently shields the skin whilst destroying bacteria that try to invade cuts or open wounds. Studies have also shown that aloe vera is particularly effective in the healing of burns and is often used by dermatologists to speed healing after facial dermabrasion (removal of scars from the skin's top layers).

		Aqua Aqua, or water, is one of the most used ingredients in skin care products because it has five important functions; it is a lubricant, a solvent, a transportant, a dispersant and a coolant. The water used in skin care products is highly purified to conform to microbiological standards, ensuring that it is free from impurities and is de-ionized so as not to interfere with other ingredients used. Water is essential for radiant skin whether it be external bathing, internal consumption or as a natural skin care ingredient, leaving skin clearer, healthier and younger looking as a result.

		Citric Acid Citric acid is a natural preservative and a weak organic acid found in a wide variety of plants and fruit, particularly citrus fruit. It's frequently added to skin care products as a natural pH control agent. Fine grade citric acid is often combined with sodium bicarbonate in the production of bath bombs and bath creamers as the two ingredients produce carbon dioxide and makes for pleasantly effervescent water. Containing Vitamin C, citric acid is an effective antioxidant that can help refresh skin and reduce the look of ageing by promoting new skin growth and destroying free radicals. One of the best benefits of citric acid in all its applications is that it's natural and poses little to no risk to the environment. Very few people are allergic to citric acid making it safe and gentle to use. Return to the previous page.
		Cosmetic Glitter (Polybutylene Terephthalate) Fine powdered cosmetic glitters in a range of vibrant colours may be added to our bath bombs and bath crumbles for anyone wanting to put a touch of sparkle into their lives. Fun and fabulous, our range of glitters are made from lab enhanced mineral particles and are completely safe to use however contact with the eyes should be avoided. Return to the previous page.
		Glycerin Glycerin is a neutral, colourless, thick liquid which freezes to a thick paste and a natural by-product of soap making. It's part of the skin's own natural lipid structure and helps the skin to attract and retain its own natural moisture, leaving it feeling soft and hydrated while permitting it to breathe. Glycerine is primarily used as an emollient (an ingredient that helps to balance or maintain the moisture levels in the skin) and frequently skimmed off by commercial soap manufacturers for use in their more profitable lotions and creams which reduces the moisturising abilities of their soap. At Naturally You all our soaps are handmade so that they retain all of their natural glycerin and moisturising qualities Return to the previous page.
		Goat's Milk For centuries goat's milk has been used for its wonderful skin care properties. A natural, gentle moisturiser, goat's milk is rich in vitamins, minerals, lipids and proteins. Goat's milk is high in vitamins, minerals, proteins and also alpha hydroxy acids that nourish and rejuvenate the skin resulting in a mild, non-irritating and a highly moisturising ingredient. It also helps balance the skin’s natural PH and promotes natural exfoliation. Return to the previous page.
		White Tea The antioxidants in white tea work by preventing any damage from free radicals which are known to cause premature aging. Because white tea is left uncured and unoxidized, studies suggest that it has more anti-viral and anti-bacterial qualities than green tea making it an extremely popular ingredient in skin care products.

		Witch Hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana) Witch hazel has many skin enhancing properties but in the preparation of our products, a spritzing of witch hazel is used to effectively remove bubbles during soap making and it is an extremely efficient binding agent when making our bath bombs.
