Natural alternatives
to hair face and body products
Ok so the reason we have these ingredients …. They’re all from the earth, which is an appeal to some; they’re also fantastic for you inside and out and possibly most importantly at the moment for all of us is that the ingredients are CHEAP.

| This is my face. Hello. |
Apple Cider Vinegar
Has a tonic action that promotes blood circulation in the small capillaries that irrigate the skin. It is also antiseptic, preventing the proliferation of bacteria, viruses, or yeast that trigger infection. It can dissolve excessive fatty deposits at the surface of the skin and reduce scaly or peeling conditions. Lastly, vinegar regulates the pH of the skin.
Linseed oil
Also known as flaxseed, is the richest source of omega 3 essential fatty acids. It contains 50 to 50 percent omega 3s, almost twice as much as is contained in fish oil. It’s great for hair growth, it’s great for stopping nails cracking but it’s also a moisturiser that works well for dandruff as well.
Aloe Gel
Aloe Vera contains over 200 active components including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, polysaccharide, and fatty acids- no wonder it’s used for such a wide range of remedies. The bulk of the Aloe Vera leaf is filled with a clear gel-like substance, which is approximately 99% water.

Egg Yolks
Egg yolks contain more vitamins -- and larger quantities of those vitamins -- than egg whites. Each egg yolk contains seven vitamins: B6, folate, a B vitamin, B-12, A, D, E and K. Of those, vitamins A, D, E and K are found only in egg yolks and not in egg whites. In fact, egg yolks are one of only a handful of foods in which vitamin D is naturally found. Applied to hair, it strengthens and moisturises.
