| Testimonial |
I have to tell you. I haven't tried out the
Sweet Almond Oil, yet, but I am IN LOVE with
the Grapeseed Oil you sent me. I've been
making my Lavender /Grapeseed /Jojoba
massage oil blend for years, now, and it was
always a good oil, but with this new
Grapeseed Oil it has turned my light
eczema hands as soft as my son's skin!!!!!
And they stay soft!!! I have used
it to help rid my 7 mo. old son's sunburn
(in long with collaboration with
aloe vera), and within 48 hrs its 99% is
gone. I carry it around with my
like lotion, and I love the way it smells.
NOTHING has ever worked on
my hands: prescription massage creams,
herbal remedies, lotions... In 48
hrs almost all the cracks in my hands are
gone. I was so impressed, I thought
I'd try and start using it on my feet. I
can't wait for Winter (when my
hands are weather worn,) to really test this
out. This batch of Grapeseed
Oil is so AMAZING! I can't wait to try the
Sweet Almond Oil, now. |

| Please note regarding
Oils: |
The essential and base oils of a plant can
help enhance and enliven us, though care
should be taken. The oils are extremely
concentrated and are the hormone system of
the plant. If you're not sure, please seek
the advice of a qualified practitioner, read
the labels instructions and first always
patch test.
It is exciting to learn about the plants of
our planet and learn to take responsibility
for our own health. However I ask that you
carefully consider whatever you use on and
in your body. Plants are some of the most
powerful healers and poisons on the planet,
and have very specific ways they interact
with our body.
Used wisely and with knowledge, they enhance
and enliven us, so please seek qualified
help when diagnosing and treating a health
condition. |
| What are Florestas
Standards |
We don’t use any kind of synthetic
fragrances or colours and products are
designed to maintain a normal pH balance to
minimize the potential for any skin
irritation and maximize the beauty and
healthy effects in your body and soul.
Florestas is certified by EcoCert. The
following ingredients are absolutely
forbidden by ECOCERT:
-Synthetic fragrances and dyes
-Silicones and glycol
-Petro-chemical and mineral oil
-Parabens
-Animal ingredients or animal testing
Even if the product has all natural
ingredients in its composition, certain
processes used to manufacture cosmetics can
transform raw
material in a chemically aggressive one. For
example, some herbs have to be irradiated to
eliminate impurities and during this process
they are modified and may become as harmful
to your skin. Also the raw material maybe
GMO. Therefore, to be certified we have to
comply with manufacturing
specifications as well to ensure our
cosmetics keep their true organic
properties. Without internationally
recognized third party
certification, the organic claim that
appears in many products means nothing. To
know more about our certification process,
visit the ECOCERT website at
www.ecocert.com. |
