What is the "Naturally Clean" Collection?
A mindful collection of bath products using ingredients in their natural state or form in order to reduce your "Environmental Footprint."
According to "The Natural Ingredients Resource Center" at naturalingredients.org, the criteria for natural ingredients is......
-
plant, animal, mineral or microbial ingredients…
-
present in or produced by nature.
-
produced using minimal physical processing.*
-
directly extracted using simple methods, simple chemical reactions or resulting from naturally occurring biological processes.*
And they go on to further define "Minimal Processing" as......
* Minimal Processing means the ingredient has had no more processing than something which could be made in a household kitchen, stillroom, on a farm, or vineyard. It doesn’t mean they have to actually be made in those settings, but that they would require no more equipment or technology than that which could be employed in those settings. Simple Extraction Methods/Simple Chemical Reactions include cleaning, cold pressing, dehydration, desiccation, drying, evaporation, filtering, grinding, infusing [water or natural alcohol], & steam or water distilling.
Environmental Footprint?
