What is natural?

What is natural skin care?


Many of you have heard the term but may not have been clear about its exact definition. In addition, there are numerous skin care products on the market that claim to be natural in one form or another, but the term is so vague that many consumers remain confused.


What is natural? Natural is not a term that is actually regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), according to a New York Times magazine article (November 1, 2007), so it’s anyone’s guess what manufacturers term as “natural” and are putting in their products. As a consumer, your best defense is to read the label of whatever you are purchasing.

Neosoul.essentials was built on kitchen chemistry: we use ingredients that are readily available to the average consumer, either at a bricks and mortar store or via the Internet and for the most part can be mixed up in a kitchen – which is how our products are created! Most of our products are created from oils and butters normally used in foodstuffs, such as cocoa butter, shea butter (used for cooking in African countries such as Uganda), coconut oil, olive oil and the like. Check out our natural skin products!


We do use synthetic fragrance oils as well as 100% natural essential oils to scent our products. We also use FDA approved cosmetic colors in some of our products, but when you visit our website, you’ll see you have a choice between 100% natural and “nearly” all natural products.
