Aradia Naturals uses only high quality ingredients that respect the earth as well as your body Aradia's
pledge to the consumer is to not make exaggerated claims about products
in order to get your business. Any claims are as "real" as the products
themselves. Aradia Naturals products are safe, effective, and are made of at least 99% natural ingredients. All product recipes remain true to the wise ways of Mother Nature. After all, Aradia believes, Mother Nature does know best! |

Many of Aradia Naturals products contain pure essential oils.
Therefore, most of Aradia's products are packaged in glass jars or
bottles.
It is
a fact that essential oils may react with plastic or metal containers and
products are very likely to become tainted with this type of packaging.
Unfortunately, most personal care products are put into plastics because they
are cheaper to purchase and less costly to ship.
Aradia
Naturals uses mainly glass containers, not only to ensure the quality of products, but because
glass is, environmentally speaking, a better choice. Aradia also takes care to not over-package products
out of concern and respect for the environment, and all containers are reusable
and/or recyclable.

Some
of Aradia Naturals
products contain preservatives, to ensure product safety. These
are considered some of the gentlest and safest on the market. Note
that some of what is marketed as 100% natural preservatives today do
not do well in preventing microbal growth and, therefore, may leave
products vulnerable to a host of problems, such as mold & bacterial
contamination. These can then lead to serious health issues (eg. blindess as a result of containation in eye products, etc.) Aradia
wants to address these concerns in the most healthful and responsible
manner possible. Here are the preservatives used in some of Aradia Naturals products:
|
Cosmocil CQ: Cosmocil CQ (Polyaminopropyl biguanide) is a gentle effective preservative,
parabens-free, and does not release formaldehyde. It
is a water soluble preservative that acts against bacteria (including
the tough gram negative pathogens) yeast and fungi. Micro organisms do
not develop a resistence to it. Cosmocil CQ is low-odor and stable in
both heat and light. Recommended storage is 2 years. Originally
formulated for the eye and contact lens industry, this preservative has
low eye and skin irritancy and low oral toxicity.
Optiphen: Optiphen
is a
globally approved liquid preservative system consisting of
phenoxyethanol with an emollient base of 1,2-octanediol (a.k.a. capylyl
glycol). Caprylyl glycol also acts as a humectant and wetting agent in
cosmetic and skin care formulations. Optiphen provides broad spectrum
preservation against bacteria, yeast and mold.
Vitamin E: Vitamin E is a safe,
common additive in skin care products. It acts as an anti-oxident
in products, thus helping to guard against rancidity in oil-contiaining
formulae. Vitamin E also has a beneficial effect on the skin.
