Foreue – Natural Skin Care (Handmade & Vegan)

There is no doubt that global warming is affecting the environment that we all share. And if we’re all causing this, then shouldn’t we do something about it? There are so many ways to get involved to make the Earth a better place to live. There are ways that we all can help, and here are just some of the many ways to get involved.

There are many facets to being a responsible Earth Steward. An Earth Steward is someone who demonstrates complete integrity and mutual respect; self-respect and respect for all beings and creatures of Mother Earth.

Ahimsa, which in ancient Hindu Sanskrit, means “reverence for life,” is an important integral facet of being an Earth Steward; in other words, ahimsa emphasizes compassion.  As a responsible Earth Steward, Ahimsa should be extended to include all beings; two-legged, four-legged, winged, and finned.

The day I was introduced to natural hair products helped me to become organic and aware.   A haircut became quite the educational eye opener.  As the aesthetician massaged my neck, she filled the room with healing soothing aromatherapy.  I relaxed and began to feel alive, energized, and at ease.

She and the salon owner talked to me while she cut my hair and educated me about the wonderful products.  I learned something upsetting, but it opened my eyes.  For years, I had followed my Mom’s strange ritual of applying baby oil to my face after washing it with a supposed skin-softening soap bar, and washing my hair with not natural hair care products.

An endless selection of personal care and cosmetics on the store shelf can be very confusing.  One common confusion is understanding the difference between organic and natural and vegan.

Organic is a wonderful way of living your life in the most natural manner possible, completely free of toxic chemicals and damaging irritants. Anything that is grown and processed organically is done so without the use of harmful environmentally polluting petro-chemicals.  Petro-chemicals are derived from petroleum.  Common soothing organic natural skin care ingredients are lemongrass, peppermint, lavender, coconut oil, sandalwood, patchouli, and aloe vera.  These natural botanicals are especially safe and healing; if they are grown free of synthetic petro-chemical pesticides.
