What affects the price of organic skincare?
It often happens that people wonder why there is such a big price difference for the same types of products within natural skincare. When it comes to conventional skincare products, the price is usually determined by how much advertising money a brand spends. In organic skincare, it is mostly about the ingredients and the technology behind them. The most common reasons for price differences: The amount of water. The percentage (%) of organic ingredients of the total amount. Which raw materials are used and in what quantities. For example, olive oil belongs to the more affordable raw material group, while Moroccan rose oil is more expensive. Advanced products with more anti-aging ingredients made for specific skin types and purposes cost more to develop and produce compared to simpler variants. Whether the product is certified and which certification is used also matters. A stricter certification requires more effort to meet the requirements and is therefore more costly. The more certifications, the more expensive (organic, vegan, fair trade, etc.) The type of packaging used. Plastic or glass. Glass is more expensive. Whether it is recycled or not. Eco-friendly printing ink or not. Manufacturing method with regard to the environment, fair trade, etc.

How to strengthen your heart with the right diet & supplements
Giving our heart and circulatory system a little extra love sometimes can be essential for living well and feeling good for a long time. But how do you do that? Essentially, all lifestyle-related health issues can be boiled down to three seemingly simple pieces of advice: Eat well Move your body Relax These are the three most important aspects whether we want to strengthen our immune system, increase our energy levels, or take care of our heart. In this article, we focus on which specific nutrients, supplements, and habits have been shown to be important for keeping our circulatory system and heart in the best possible shape. Food for a healthy heart Eat plenty of these for a healthy heart. Berries – contain antioxidants and polyphenols that help protect the heart. Green vegetables – especially spinach, broccoli, and asparagus protect and cleanse the blood with powerful minerals and phytonutrients. Garlic can contribute to normal blood pressure and healthy cholesterol levels. Chia seeds – rich in soluble fiber and omega-3, which are great for heart health. Avocado – studies have shown it can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Olives – rich in healthy fats and phytonutrients that support a healthy heart. Walnuts – rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants. Almonds – have been shown to be effective in balancing cholesterol levels. Chickpeas – rich in several vitamins and minerals essential for heart and vessels. Whole grains like oats, quinoa, and wild rice are rich in both soluble and insoluble fibers, vitamins, minerals, and slow-release carbohydrates. Supplements & herbs for a healthy heart Certain nutrients repeatedly appear in studies and experience from naturopaths and nutritionists worldwide. These are some of the most important supplements you can take to take extra good care of your heart and circulatory system: Omega 3 Q10 Resveratrol Turmeric Chaga Reishi Magnesium Olive oil Beetroot powder (contains nitrates) Habits for a healthy heart Of all the organs in the body, the heart and vessels may be the ones that adapt fastest to our lifestyle choices. When we move, our pulse rises and the body gets a chance to adjust to a more active lifestyle. When we meditate or rest deeply, we give our entire system a chance to recover and release “calm and relaxation hormones” through the bloodstream. The habits that have proven especially important for the heart are to: Exercise 20 minutes of physical activity a day has been shown to lower blood pressure, balance cholesterol levels, support the immune system, reduce stress, and contribute to feelings of happiness and satisfaction. Meditate An effective way to manage stress and trigger the body’s “rest-and-digest system,” which provides many health benefits; not least for the heart. Good sleep 7-9 hours of regular sleep can protect your heart from high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and overweight. Things you should avoid for a healthy heart These three things are directly harmful to the heart and vessels and should be minimized or completely avoided to increase your chances of a healthy and strong heart: Smoking Bad, oxidized fats (e.g., corn oil, soybean oil, processed foods, fried foods, etc.) Refined sugar Bonus tips Take care of your teeth There seems to be a connection between oral health and cardiovascular health. Poor oral hygiene has been shown to increase the risk of cardiovascular problems later in life. Therefore, it can be very worthwhile to take good care of your teeth to also give your heart some care. Take care of your liver All nutrients that enter the body through the stomach must pass through the liver before being released into the blood and pumped out by the heart. If the liver is sluggish, it will allow more toxins from the environment to pass through directly into the blood and up to the heart. So to give your heart the best, make sure to support your body’s "cleansing" now and then and take care of your liver by drinking a large glass of lemon water every morning on an empty stomach. Support for the liver is an important topic for good health.

Tea tree water for impure and sensitive skin
Tea tree water is a hydrolate and an herbal water. When distilling flowers and plants, you always get a concentrated oil phase and a water phase. From tea tree, you get essential oil as well as tea tree water. The essential oil is always concentrated and should be used in small amounts, usually diluted. The water, on the other hand, can always be used undiluted directly on the skin. The benefits of tea tree water Tea tree is known for its antiseptic and antibacterial properties. Like all hydrolates, tea tree water has a lower pH around 4-5, which is closer to the skin’s own pH. This makes all hydrolates very pure and good facial waters. Akamuti has chosen to add a spray pump to the product, making it extra easy to use. Who is tea tree water good for? We often recommend tea tree water for those with impure, acne-prone skin. But also for red, flushed skin types. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, it is especially good for those who have yellow pustules (acne that can be squeezed out). Tea tree water is also good as an after-shower spray on armpits that tend to smell bad, on flaky, itchy, smelly, and oily scalp. Tea tree water consists only of water and trace amounts of tea tree. There are no additives like drying alcohol or irritating preservatives and perfumes. Therefore, it is preferable if you have thin, sensitive, or reactive skin. Benefit of few ingredients Another advantage of using simple ingredients in your skincare is that you can easily figure out what you tolerate and what you don’t. In a facial water or toner with many mixed ingredients, it is very difficult or impossible to know exactly what you don’t tolerate if you were to have a skin reaction.

4 signs that it's time to switch to organic shampoo
Sometimes it’s hard to know how long to stick with an organic shampoo before it gets better – if it gets better. So when is it time to switch your organic shampoo to another? Here are four signs that it’s time. 1. Dry, itchy & dandruff-prone scalp If it itches or dries out the scalp, you know it’s the wrong shampoo. If it itches, you might be allergic to something in the shampoo. The scalp becomes dry, tight, and dandruff appears as a result; then the scalp is sensitive and you need to switch to a milder organic shampoo that foams less or an organic dandruff shampoo. If you know your scalp is sensitive, always choose fragrance-free or lightly scented shampoos. 2. Product buildup occurs The first washes feel great with nice hair as a result. Then the hair becomes stiff and dull. Both hair and scalp get buildup (within 2 days to about 2 weeks). The hair doesn’t get clean and the scalp smells unpleasant after shampooing. Eventually, it may start to itch with hair loss as the worst-case scenario. Probably the hair has too many chemical residues or chemicals are still being continuously added to the hair through other hair products. Residue from conventional hair care, styling, and hair color products is hard to wash out with an organic shampoo. Then switch everything to natural and pure products. If a mild organic shampoo is used, a more “tough” foaming shampoo may be necessary. Eco Cosmetics shampoos foam well but may be insufficient if the hair has a lot of chemical residues. In that case, a stronger shampoo like Bruns no. 5 is needed. If you’re already using an organic shampoo that foams well, chemical buildup can be removed with a vinegar hair rinse. Vinegar rinses help most people. Note that vinegar rinses may be needed for a longer period before results appear. 3. You get greasy hair quickly The hair does look nice after washing but gets greasy already after half a day to a day! The shampoo may also feel unusually inefficient. A shampoo that makes hair greasy quickly is too mild (foams too little). If you insist on such a shampoo and wash often (every day if needed), the scalp will eventually (which can take up to 3 months) produce less sebum/grease. The scalp balances out and the hair needs washing less often. If it gets so greasy that it starts to itch, do a vinegar rinse. Switch to a shampoo that foams more, or hang in there! Don’t be discouraged if mild shampoos (that foam little or not at all) don’t work at first. Gradually reduce use and give your hair and scalp an adjustment period. A shampoo that is too mild today might be perfect after six months. 4. When you get static hair If you get frizzy, charged, and flyaway hair. This usually happens in winter when the hair becomes charged due to large temperature changes. But dry hair tends to become charged even when it’s not winter. Then switch to a more nourishing shampoo, or enrich the shampoo with a few drops of your favorite hair oil. Do hair masks and use nourishing conditioner.

3 simple tips against smelly feet & armpits
When it starts to smell bad, that's when bacteria thrive. Nothing dangerous, but maybe not so pleasant. Here are three simple tips on what you can do about smelly feet and armpits. 1. Wash with something other than soap Soaps and shower gels are alkaline, and bacteria thrive best in alkaline environments. Therefore, do not wash your armpits or feet with soap if you have odor problems. Instead, wash with something acidic like apple cider vinegar or lemon. You can also wash with an antibacterial oil like coconut oil. Then wipe off the oil with a damp towel. Here you can read about 15 ways to use coconut oil as a multi-purpose product. 2. Use balancing sprays Sage water is pH-balancing on the skin. It is also antibacterial, so it’s perfect to spray on armpits and feet after washing. This restores the pH and keeps bacteria in check. We also have a good spray that counteracts odor from Gröna Gredelina. It freshens up everything from gym shoes and boxing gloves to yoga mats. 3. Use organic deodorant Organic deodorants are effective without blocking the sweat function. Eco deodorants reduce sweating and prevent bad odor. For feet, cream deodorant works very well. Natural deo has a foot deodorant in cream form. A very thin layer is enough and it is incredibly effective. Odylique’s deodorant spray works just as well in shoes as under the arms since the formula uses a combination of botanical ingredients with antibacterial properties to absorb moisture and herbal extracts to naturally stop bacteria.

Switch to organic shampoo? 4 tips for better results
Many people choose to gradually replace their bathroom cabinet contents with more sustainable options. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon that when switching to an organic natural shampoo, you suddenly get dirty, greasy, and dull hair. But don’t give up! There are a few important things you should consider when switching to a natural shampoo. 1) Avoid products with non-water-soluble chemicals A naturally pure shampoo does not contain strong detergents like SLS/SL. Therefore, organic and natural shampoos cannot wash away non-water-soluble chemicals from your other hair products. This means you need to carefully check all your hair products, from styling products to conditioners. When using a natural shampoo, your other hair products must not contain silicones (dimethicone) or mineral oils (paraffin), i.e., substances that are not water-soluble. Since your new organic and natural shampoo cannot wash away these substances, they will gradually clog your scalp. Your hair will then become lifeless, stiff, and covered with chemicals. 2) Clean thoroughly with your old shampoo Your old shampoo, which lathers a lot and contains strong detergents like SLS, can remove non-water-soluble substances from your other styling products. This way, you can “reset” your hair and scalp with your conventional shampoo and then use your organic shampoo at the next wash. However, remember to keep your hair free from non-water-soluble chemicals afterward. Throw away all non-natural products. 3) “Reset” your hair with a vinegar rinse If your old shampoo contains non-water-soluble chemicals or silicones, or if it has gotten to the point where your scalp itches or you are even losing hair, a conventional shampoo rarely helps to clean properly. You then need to rinse your hair and scalp with apple cider vinegar. It restores the pH balance, removes chemicals, and gives your hair shine. Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse Dilute about 1-3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water. Rinse your hair with the diluted vinegar after shampooing. Then use conditioner as usual. 4) Find the right shampoo for your hair type Just like conventional shampoos, there is a wide range of organic and natural shampoos. It may be that the shampoo you have chosen does not work for your specific hair type. Feel free to ask us, and we will help you find a shampoo and conditioner that suit your hair and needs. Or you can try different ones until you find the right one. Keep testing until you find 2-3 different ones you like so you can alternate shampoos. There are several signs that it’s time to change shampoo!
