At Hands on Beauty Therapy we are committed to using organic or natural products that support a sustainable & greener world. Why should you have to put chemicals, parabens and genetically modified ingredients on to your skin when you can use natural organic ingredients and resources that come from New Zealand's own landscape and culture?

Go back to basics and treat your skin to the amazing beauty qualities of the earth. You cannot get any simpler than uses resources the earth gives us and your skin will thank you.

Here is a list of the ingredients you should be aware of:

• phenoxyethanol
• parabens
• mineral oil & petrochemicals
• sodium lauryl sulphate
• genetically modified ingredients
• artificial colours or fragrances
• propylene glycol
• pegs, deas, edta
• triethanolamine
• isopropyl alchohol
• formaldehyde

A lot of these ingredients are used for their preservative qualities, Parabens are a common one. These parabens can cause skin irritation, dermatitis and studies have shown that they are common in breast cancer cases. To save your skin and your health from any harm, change to organic products.

At Hands on Beauty Therapy we use geoskincare - an all organic range for facial skin care. The ingredients in this high quality range have all been chosen for their ability to promote overall skin health and wellness. Their ingredients are all sourced in New Zealand and include:

• natural geothermal silica
• natural minerals
• organic manuka honey
• pure essential oils
• organic ingredients

Geothermal Silica is a vital building block for every cell in your body. It is referred to as the 'beauty mineral' and helps to keep your skin, nails and hair in good health. This mineral is great for preventing aging to your skin.

Hands on Beauty Therapy also uses natural ingredients on your body. We use natural geothermal mud, pumice granules and oils from natural plants.

We are also in the process of stocking mineral make up.  This brand is called Bella Vi and all their ingredients are natural  and full of great minerals for your skin. Although a lot of powder make up comes off easily, Bella Vi gives great coverage and stays on all day. Another plus is that you don't have to worry about irritation and clogging your pores.

Give your skin what it wants and come to Hands on Beauty Therapy for your treatments. I can guarantee you will come out shining and smiling and so will your skin.
