Is natural skin and hair care effective?

One of the questions that often gets asked around natural skin and hair care products is:’ do they work?’

The short answer from our perspective is ‘yes’ - we wouldn’t want to sell anything that doesn’t do what it says on the proverbial tin. However, it depends on what you buy and what you’re hoping to achieve.

In our opinion, natural skin and hair care products are at their finest when it comes to nurturing.

Using ingredients like chamomile, avocado, cocoa butter, comfrey, and even nettles, all from nature’s larder, we can create products to target individual needs, such as acne prone skin, dry skin, or encouraging hair growth and helping to protect skin and hair from the impact of pollution.

It might not be Botox, but it does make a significant contribution to achieving happy, healthy skin and hair. Combine natural skincare with a healthy lifestyle and you’re almost guaranteed to glow.

We have also spoken before about the power of nature, and how you need to know what you’re doing before using ingredients (like essential oils) on your skin.

At Alice England, our goal is to be kind to our bodies. We want hair to feel nourished and cared for, and skin to be soothed, cleansed and moisturised - especially for anyone suffering from sensitive skin like we do. For that reason, we’re extremely careful with the ingredients we use and how much of each ingredient we use. After all, it’s important to respect Mother Nature!

The best people to answer the question of whether natural products, or at least, our natural products, work, are you! You might recall our recent article about Nicole, who used our Sensitive Skincare line after she developed extremely sensitive skin. She’s not the only one who believes in the power of nature though.

Rosina said: “I ordered the plum eyeshadow and I am obsessed! It’s in my everyday makeup routine. One swipe and I’m done. It’s so pigmented! I work 13-hour shifts and it stays there all day! I would 100% recommend it! It’s so easy to apply and the packaging is so cute and individual so you can find them easily in your makeup bag”

Bonnie said: “I have very long, curly hair, and as I spend a lot of time outside, it is routinely dry. I used the Soothe & Grow Shampoo and Conditioner, made with nettle and rosemary. While it was lovely the first time around and definitely made my hair softer and easier to manage straight away, what really impressed me was the cumulative effect. The more I use it, the healthier my hair seems to be - despite repeat dips in the sea!”
