Written by Sarah Cole on October 28, 2021. Posted in Blog. No Comments on Ingredient Blog: Cinnamon For Hair Care?

The perfect condiment for your food and your hair.

If you are looking for a natural ingredient to help restore the health of your hair, then look no further. In fact, look right into your kitchen cupboard. Cinnamon—the spice that adds flavour to our much beloved sweet and savory cuisines. This same spice can also add life to your dull hair. Cinnamon has been credited for many hair benefits. From increasing hair growth to reducing dandruff, it is considered to be a multi beneficiary cure.

Using PURC’s Cinnamon Shampoo Bar is a great way to incorporate this ingredient in your hair-care routine. It’s antibacterial and stimulating properties are well known. It helps in the rejuvenation and growth of hair follicles. It also exfoliates the scalp and prevents itchiness, dandruff, and other hair concerns.

Benefits

Improve Hair Growth

Some research has shown that this helps to encourage hair growth and volume. A compound found in it, called Cinnamaldehyde, is known to stimulate the scalp and enhance blood circulation. This helps in providing adequate nutrients to the hair follicles, which in turn improves the growth of the hair.

It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron, and phosphorus are some of the nutrients present in it. All these also contribute to the health of your hair.

The hair needs sufficient blood flow to be healthy. When the hair follicles don’t receive this amount of blood flow, hair fall can occur very easily. As mentioned before, Cinnamon helps in increasing blood circulation in the scalp and increases the blood flow.

This could contribute to reducing hair loss. It also exfoliates and gets rid of clogged hair follicles, which allows for healthy hair growth.

Cures Dandruff

Cinnamon is known to have antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Not only does it remove dirt and grime, but also helps as a cure against dandruff. Dandruff is usually caused by a fungus called Malassezia and It’s procyanidins help to prevent it. It can also provide protection against scalp irritation and inflammation.

While it might have benefits for hair and scalp, it is also noted that applying ground Cinnamon or potent Cinnamon oil to your skin or hair can result in allergies. You could have rashes, redness, inflammation, or irritation. It can be used by adding its oil in a carrier oil or adding grounded cinnamon into a hair mask. This is applicable for both types. Since the procedure can take long, PURC’s Cinnamon Shampoo Bar can be an easy option.

This prevents the hair from drying out and damaging. Since the shampoo bar consists of essential oils and non-synthetic components, it cleanses your hair without ever stripping your hair of the natural oils.

The main components of the shampoo bar are Cinnamon Leaf Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Rosemary Extract, and Nettle-Peppermint Infusion. Each ingredient contributes to the health of your hair.

Since we have gone over the benefits of it, let’s look at the benefits of the other ingredients.

Clove Bud Oil:

As one of the main ingredients of the Bar Shampoo, Clove Bud Oil makes your hair lustrous and smooth. Along with deeply conditioning the hair, it also reduces hair fall and encourages hair growth.

Peppermint contains menthol, which produces a cooling effect and helps with dryness and itching. When the two are mixed together, it works miracles for your hair. The Nettle extract works well for reducing redness and irritation. Whereas, the peppermint oil will stimulate your scalp and increase blood circulation.

Rosemary Extract

Rosemary is widely known for its exquisite aroma. But the extract is also used for its medicinal properties as well as for religious and cooking purposes. It leaves your hair with an amazing after-smell. Its antiseptic properties prevent bacterial or fungal growth and help in exfoliation. Its multiple benefits make it ideal to be incorporated in the Shampoo Bar.

Directions For Use

After lathering the product onto your hands, apply it to your hair and gently massage it into your scalp. Then, rinse it off with water. The bar can be used as often as required.

Just don’t apply tea tree oil directly to your skin since it is quite powerful and can burn you. Tea tree oil should not be kept on the skin for an extended period of time if it is undiluted since it is highly powerful and drying.

2. Does tea tree oil darken skin?

No. Tea tree oil, on the other hand, is most effective as a preventive treatment against black spots. Its power is in its capacity to quickly heal and prevent a blemish or wound from developing, rather than in its ability to erase an existing area.
While some say that this oil has modest resurfacing qualities that assist remove pre-existing dark patches over time, this has not been proven scientifically.

3. What should not be used with tea tree oil?

Tea Tree Oil should not be combined with other active ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, retinol, retinoids, tretinoin, Retin-A, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, vitamin C, and so on. It is preferable to utilise one or the other, not both. Use it no more than once per day – less is more!

4. Can Tea Tree Oil be used for daily conditioning?

Yes, it works great as a leave-in conditioner. You can prepare a tea tree oil spray. All you need to do is take some distilled water and mix it with a few drops of tea tree oil. Some individuals make this spray using chamomile tea.
Whatever components you choose to make your spray, it should contain around 5% tea tree oil. Put this combination in a spray bottle and use it to give your hair a boost of natural conditioning whenever you want.
Tea tree oil should not be applied directly to the scalp since it is very concentrated and has the potential to irritate the skin.

5. Does Tea Tree Oil Help Your Hair Grow?

Yes, by unclogging pores, increasing oxygen and nutrition flow, and eliminating infections, hair follicles may now create healthy, strong hair that is less prone to breakage or hair loss. Tea tree oil may also enhance the health of your hair because it is a natural oil that will not dry it out.

Conclusion

PURC Tea Tree oil, made from organic ingredients, is an extremely versatile and effective essential oil. It helps to heal and prevent various skin infections. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities make it a must have product.

Since we created our products with love and care, we wanted to share the best products without compromising quality with you.

Product Set Of 3

Our Keratin Hair Straightening Treatment comprises the golden trio – Pre-treatment Keratin Shampoo, Keratin Treatment O+ Hydrating Conditioner, and the After Keratin Regenerative Hair Mask.

1. Pre-treatment Keratin Shampoo

The Pre-treatment Keratin Shampoo, rich in Keratin, effectively cleanses the scalp and allows the hair follicles and pores to breathe and absorb all the goodness and nutrients for better strength. This helps reduce split ends by bonding the hair back together.

2. Keratin Treatment O+ Hydrating Conditioner

With no sodium chloride, the hydrating conditioner helps detangle the hair while simultaneously making it softer. It nourishes the scalp, increases blood circulation, and boosts hair growth. The Pentanol acts as a protective barrier that prevents loss of moisture and increases elasticity which helps to reduce hair loss and is closer to straightening hair.

3. After Keratin Regenerative Hair Mask

Created with the highest concentration of active Amino acids and Keratin, the regenerative hair mask is formulated to stimulate the hair follicles and promote hair growth to its fullest. It contains Murumuru Oil that naturally provides lightweight moisture and helps keep it locked in to avoid hair dryness without clogging the scalp pores. Also rich in lauric acid, the hair mask ensures to retain your natural hair color.

The Dos And Don’ts

To ensure the best results, the treatment can be used once in two or three weeks. However, if you travel a lot and are often exposed to pollution or experience excessive hair loss, it is recommended to use the treatment once every week. With regular use, the treatment combination of Keratin, Pentanol, and Murumuru Oil will smoothen and straighten the hair, adding volume and luster. Each product in the kit has a unique function and effectively works to treat your hair. Although you can use the shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask separately, we recommend using them together for accurate results.

Steps To Follow:

Step 1 – Start by washing the hair with the PURC Keratin shampoo to get rid of the accumulated dirt. This also enables the hair follicles to absorb keratin molecules.

Step 2 – Gently towel dry the hair by patting and then dry with a blow dryer at the lowest heating temperature.

Step 3 – Next, part your hair into four sections.

Step 4 – Wear a pair of gloves and use the hand to spread the PURC Straightening Treatment onto the scalp. To distribute the treatment evenly, use a wide-toothed comb.

Step 5 – For fine hair, use a flat iron set between 300–400-degree Fahrenheit. In case of thicker hair, set the temperature at around 450-degree Fahrenheit.

Step 6 – Take an inch of your hair and use a flat iron to straighten the hair. Continue to repeat the process until the entire length of your hair is smoothed out.

Step 7 – Lastly, use the After Keratin Regenerative Hair Mask to hydrate the scalp and hair. This will give the best results.

Precautions To Be Taken

The treatment is not recommended for women who are trying to conceive or are pregnant.
The treatment requires the hair to be washed infrequently (2-3 times in a week at the most), which helps the treatment provide longer-lasting results.
If you like to use heat styling products like straighteners and blow dryers, it is recommended not to use them as the hair dries much faster with the Keratin treatment. Air drying works best with the treatment, and this further helps restore the health and strength of your hair.
Studies show that it is best to stay away from chlorinated/saltwater as it reduces the efforts of the Keratin treatment.

Make Way For Straight And Shiny Hair

With enough information about the products, ingredients, and steps on getting the perfect hair transformation while sitting at home, it’s understandable to think about the results and whether all the fuss and trouble is worth it or not. With the PURC treatment kit, you get the long-lasting Keratin effect and may feel a noticeable difference from the first wash itself. However, different hair care products react differently with hair types and scalps, so it takes about 2 weeks to see the actual finished results.

Tangled & Damaged hair? Follow These Steps For Healthier & Shiny Hair

Written by Sarah Cole on October 11, 2021. Posted in Blog. No Comments on Tangled & Damaged hair? Follow These Steps For Healthier & Shiny Hair

The constant stress of our daily life damages not only our personal health, but also the health of our locks. With the relentless styling, colouring, straightening, and the lack of proper hair care routine, it is inevitable to have lifeless damaged hair. It is the story of everyone.

Consistent exposure to hair treatments and chemical products can dry up the moisture in your hair and make it frizzy. The natural oils in your scalp also take a hit.

While it might seem impossible to incorporate a lengthy hair care routine in your daily schedule, there are a few steps you can follow to improve the health of your hair.

We have curated a list of small changes that go a long way. These steps are easy enough to follow without taking a toll on your pocket.

Using A Cotton Cloth As A Towel to Control Damaged Hair

The usual towels that we use often soak up the natural moisture in our hair leaving them dry and frizzy. Using abrasive methods of drying, such as rubbing, can not only dry out your hair but also create friction. This can lead to stripping, breakage, and tangles in your hair, resulting in overall weakness in your hair.

Replacing your regular towel with a cotton t-shirt or a microfibre towel is a game changer. These alternatives will help you preserve the hair moisture after washing.

You should squeeze or pat dry your hair, instead of rubbing it. You can also scrunch dry your hair to provide more definition to your hair.

You can even wrap up your hair in the cotton cloth after washing and wait for it to dry. Avoid using any heating tool to dry your hair.

Limit The Hair Dyes And Heat Tools

Styling your hair might be more convenient, but causes great damage to your hair. Continuous use of heating tools on your hair can result in brittle and damaged strands of hair. Extended exposure can also result in split ends.

You can opt to style your hair every once in a while, but doing it regularly is not a good option.

The same goes for hair colour. Although colouring your hair is extremely liberating and self-expressive, there are a few things you must keep in mind. Since you are already putting the stress of bleach and dyes on your hair, it is important that you pay extra attention.

You can go for specific products that cater to the needs of coloured hair. These shampoos and conditioners not only provide moisture but also help to retain your hair colour, which in turn extends your color cycle.

Wash Hair With Lukewarm Water

The temperature with which you wash your hair contributes to the health of your hair. Both cold and hot water have their own advantages and disadvantages. While hot water opens up your hair cuticles and helps in blood circulation.

This allows the products to be absorbed much more easily. But hot water can also be harsh on your hair and leave them frizzy and brittle.

Similarly, cold water helps in locking in moisture and minimising the frizz. But excessively using cold water can affect the volume of your hair and weaken your roots. Moreover, in winters, cold water isn’t a viable option.

Therefore, the best options are to wash your hair with lukewarm water or to switch between the two. Lukewarm water is strong enough to clear out your hair and gentle enough to protect it. Switching between the two might not work at certain times of the year but is a good option as well.

Use Organic Shampoo And Conditioner

Most of the hair products are bound to contain multiple chemicals and synthetics. These can cause irritation, itching, and allergies in your scalp. Some ingredients even dry out the hair faster and do not help with moisture retention. All this causes the hair to weaken and get dry and dull.

PURC’s organic shampoos and conditioners, on the other hand, are made out of oil extracts, plant butter, fruit extracts etc. These natural ingredients help to nourish the hair and provide the necessary moisture. Using organic products over synthetic ones is always the better option. They help in controlling frizz, brittleness, dryness and so on. They even provide the hair with natural oils that often get depleted. In fact, there are many other advantages of using organic products.

Include A Hair Mask

Another great product to include in your hair care routine is a hair mask. These are basically a form of intense conditioning treatment that helps to heal damaged hair. These contain the natural oils and other conditioning elements in a much greater concentration than a conditioner. PURC’s hair masks make the hair shinier and smoother, add more moisture to them, and also makes the scalp healthier.

You can apply the hair mask directly on your hair and scalp with your hands. You need to let the mask stay on for nearly 30 minutes after which you can rinse it off. You can either buy hair masks or DIY them at your home.

Conclusion

Properly taking care of your hair might seem like a tough task at first, but once you start to take these small steps you will see the difference. Even a change in the kind of water you use can greatly affect the health of your hair. PURC’s wide range of organic product lines can help you get healthy luscious hair that you have always been longing for.

Say NO To Animal Cruelty With PURC

Written by Sarah Cole on October 7, 2021. Posted in Blog. No Comments on Say NO To Animal Cruelty With PURC

According to PETA, more than 100 million animals are face cruelty and murdered in U.S. laboratories each year, including mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, primates, fish, and birds, for biology courses, medical training, curiosity-driven experiments, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing.

Some are forced to breathe deadly gases before their deaths, while others are imprisoned in restraining devices for hours, while others have holes bored into their skulls and their skin burnt off or their spinal cords crushed.

Animals in labs are robbed of everything natural and vital to them, in addition to the anguish of the experiments—they are confined to enclosed spaces, socially isolated, and mentally scarred.

To top it off, animal testing, according to Cruelty Free International, is rather worthless; the science behind it is ineffective since animals do not acquire the same ailments that humans do. In the case of aesthetic trials, animal reactions may be entirely unrelated to human ones. To put the record straight, 92 percent of experimental medicines that are safe and effective in animals fail in human clinical trials because they are either too toxic or do not function.

The purpose of this article is to give further insight and facts to assist, educate and raise awareness about this heinous behaviour.

We believe that this will be a useful resource for individuals who are unfamiliar with this technique, as well as for anybody who wants to learn more about the history of the animal welfare movement.

History On Animal Cruelty In Cosmetics

In the early twentieth century, there was almost little regulatory oversight over the safety of medicines and cosmetics in the United States.

In 1937, the “S. E. Massengill Company,” located in Bristol, Tennessee, was responsible for a widespread poisoning caused by their medication Elixir sulfanilamide. A component of this medication proved to be very harmful. This poisoning outbreak claimed the lives of more than 100 people across the United States.

Furthermore, this incident irrevocably altered the lives of millions of animals. In reaction to this occurrence, the United States Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act was enacted in 1938. This is what compelled firms to use animal testing for cosmetics and related items for the first time in order to assure human safety.

Since the passage of this regulation, animals all around the world have been exposed to a variety of testing procedures. Individual cosmetic ingredients as well as finished cosmetic goods are tested on animals for the objectives of the cosmetic business. A single new component can result in the death of almost 1400 animals.

About Us

We are not here to brag, but rather to raise awareness about animal abuse. And, in the process, we’d like you to learn a little bit more about us!

Conclusion

Education on issues such as this one is critical to assisting us as consumers in making better choices when purchasing cosmetic items if we do not want to promote animal cruelty and make a difference in the lives of our fellow Earthlings.

On a bright side, the situation in the United States remained at a stalemate until the beginning of 2020, when three states – California, Illinois, and Nevada – made the first move and prohibited the sale of animal-tested cosmetics.

However, a countrywide prohibition has yet to be enacted.

Hair Care Special: Coconut To The Rescue

Written by Sarah Cole on October 4, 2021. Posted in Blog. No Comments on Hair Care Special: Coconut To The Rescue

From moisturising to makeup removal and teeth whitening, coconuts have taken over the cosmetic industry. This multifunctional superfood shines brightest in hair care products! Coconut is the trendiest ingredient in hair care, packed with antioxidants, natural conditioners, and nourishing fatty acids – and the shortcut to a Good Hair Day every day.

Coconut oil, which is high in antioxidants, vitamins, and vital fatty acids, nourishes hair from the inside out. It performs far better than other oils because its lipid structure is comparable to that of the hair’s natural lipid structure, which is made up of smaller medium-chain fatty acids. As a result, coconut oil is an expert at entering your strands swiftly, deeply, and efficiently.

From frizz-free smoothness to incredible shine, the advantages of the fuzzy fruit are so amazing that it has earned such a shining reputation because there isn’t much the fuzzy fruit can’t accomplish. It’s one of those all-purpose wonder substances that may be considered the beauty world’s holy water.

Continue reading to find out why everyone is so crazy about coco. You’ll quickly realise why you need coconut in your hair – and why it’s the pinnacle of haircare!

Coconut In Hair Care

1. Promotes hair growth

What do you need for your hair to grow long and strong? Protein. In addition, according to research published in The Journal of Cosmetic Science, coconut oil aids in the prevention of protein loss in the hair. “Coconut oil, as a triglyceride of lauric acid (principal fatty acid), has a strong affinity for hair proteins and, due to its low molecular mass and linear trend chain, is able to enter within the hair shaft,” the researchers explained.
PURC Hair Nut Shampoo Bar is intended to help you achieve long, glossy hair. It is made up of almonds, which are 50% fat, 22% protein, and high in biotin and vitamin E. Linoleic acid, omega-3 fatty acid, and palmitic acid make up the majority of the fats. These fatty acids feed your scalp deeply and promote hair development.
It aids hair growth attempts by increasing hydration, decreasing breakage, hydrating the scalp, and preserving hair proteins. We’re not suggesting you’ll become Rapunzel overnight, but it will surely help!

2. Provides nourishment to the scalp

While we already know that coconut-based hair oils protect our scalp, are easily absorbed, feed our hair, and aid prevent protein loss, frequent usage can also smoothen the overall hair texture. How?
It’s easy! Because coconut-based hair oil is high in MCTs, it easily penetrates the groves of our hair and cures any unevenness. And what happens when your hair is fed, safeguarded, and protein-rich? That’s right, your hair grows.
Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which has nourishing qualities that are especially prone to penetrating the strands of your hair. It penetrates rapidly into your hair, giving moisture to control frizz and repair damage.
It, as an occlusive treatment, also boosts the penetration of other lock-loving elements in your hair care routine. The PURC Magical Treatment Hair Mask revitalises and brightens dry and dull hair by imparting a natural shine. This beauty elixir provides your hair and softness for a smooth outcome by increasing the moisturising and conditioning capabilities of plant extracts, the gloss-enhancing advantages of keratin, and the frizz-fighting, revitalising characteristics of argan oil.

3. Helps with detangling hair

Hair tangles? Apply coconut oil to the areas that require it. The oil creates a useful “slide” that makes combing less of a chore.
The PURC Coconut Oil Hair Treatment is a thick, creamy natural hair mask that hydrates and strengthens damaged hair. It nourishes and conditions hair that is weak, damaged, or over-processed. This premium restorative hair care product has a natural extract blend that promotes enhanced texture, softness, manageability, and shine.
With this hair mask, you may fight your super-stubborn knot by massaging some coconut oil into your hair to make it simpler to brush out the knot without harming your hair.

4. Helps fight dandruff

In a 2008 research, coconut oil was proven to be helpful in treating both eczema and fungus in adults. Because Malassezia is a fungus, using the oil to your scalp can help reduce the amount of these organisms and the associated dandruff.
Another research found that coconut oil may assist to reduce inflammation and pain. This might be useful in cases of psoriasis-related dandruff and other skin problems.
The PURC Organic Coconut Conditioner Bar‘s smooth texture is relaxing on your scalp and does not irritate your skin. It not only cleans your scalp but also replenishes it with essential nutrients. The moisturising and anti-inflammatory qualities of coconut bars assist in the fight against chronic dandruff.

5. Smoother, silkier hair

Most oils lie on the top of the hair, but studies show that coconut oil penetrates deeper into the hair shaft, making it feel softer and smoother.
The oil helps to replenish the hair shaft, giving dry and damaged hair a healthier appearance. Moisturized hair may help to prevent the damage that some products, such as harsh shampoos and styling chemicals, might cause.
Water seeps into the hair shaft, causing it to swell and seem uneven, leading it to become frizzy. Coconut oil prevents hair from absorbing water, which can help reduce frizz, especially in humid regions.
For damaged and frizzy hair, PURC Organic Coconut Oil is sheer joy. A few spritzes of this oil-spray instantly transforms dry, color-treated hair into a shinier, softer state. Coat dry, brittle ends with the coconut-scented liquid to soften them, or use a drop or two to tame flyaways. The antioxidants in the composition also aid in the neutralisation of free radicals, therefore protecting your hair from UV damage.

Takeaway

And, as previously said, coconuts are regarded as the “tree of life” because, unlike other fruits, we consume all portions of the coconut in some form or another. It’s no surprise that this “it” fruit of the moment is a key ingredient in several of the hair care products we’ve hand-picked for you.

PURC Conditioner Bar Guide: Which One To Choose?

Written by Sarah Cole on October 1, 2021. Posted in Blog. No Comments on PURC Conditioner Bar Guide: Which One To Choose?

Did you know that just 9% of plastics are recycled and that over 79 percent of all plastics manufactured are still collected in landfills and rivers. More than 552 million shampoo bottles are expected to wind up in landfills in the United States each year, enough to cover 1,164 football fields. Allow it to settle in!

Consider these figures on a worldwide scale, and then multiply them by the number of travel-size hair care bottles in hotels across the world that are changed with each new visitor! The statistics rapidly become mind-boggling.

This is by far the most compelling reason to switch to shampoo and conditioner bars. Because these small pieces do not require containers, they are far environmentally friendly than their bottled contemporaries.

Water is another limited resource that should not be neglected. The majority of liquid shampoo and conditioner products include at least 60% water, if not more. As a result, utilising solid bars removes the need for water and decreases carbon emissions during transit because the bars are lighter in weight.

So, let’s get started and learn about PURC Conditioner Bars.

1. Coconut Conditioner Bars

Why Coconut Conditioner Bars?

A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Science found that using coconut oil on hair helped decrease protein loss in both damaged and healthy hair.
Coconut oil contains fatty acids, which allow it to enter the top epidermis and assist your skin to retain moisture. This means that your hair and scalp absorb all of these vitamins and minerals, resulting in thicker, healthier hair growth.
In coconut oil, lauric acid accounts for 47% of the fatty acids. Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which has healing characteristics and is especially prone to absorb into the strands of your hair. Coconut oil is high in lauric acid, has a strong affinity for hair protein, and because of its low molecular weight, readily enters the hair shaft.
PURC Coconut Conditioner Bar with coconut is a tropical vacation for strong, soft hair with added shine. Because of its cold-pressed composition, your hair will have a unique coconut smell all day! For the ultimate tropical fantasy, pair with PURC’s Hair Nut Coconut Shampoo Bar.

What is it made of?

It contains coconut oil, which provides strenuous nutrition to your scalp, intensifies blood circulation, and stimulates hair growth; cocoa seed butter, which stimulates hair growth, enriches your hair, inhibits unruly hair, and provides you with silky fur; olive oil, which is a detoxifying agent that reduces hair damage, as well as being highly unsaturated it nurture your hair.

Best suited for

These products are created with affection for dry, damaged, and coloured hair, and they contain no soap, phthalates, or silicones. This shampoo and conditioner bar set contains coconut oil and rice protein, which nourishes and repairs damaged hair without adding weight.
Looking at it from a cosmetic standpoint, coconut oil will make your hair look lustrous and healthy. This is due to the oil’s hydrophobicity, which prevents water from passing through.

2. Lavender Conditioner Bars

Why Lavender Conditioner Bars

Hair development is said to be aided by lavender oil. A 2016 Korean research backed the use of lavender oil for hair growth, thickening, and hair loss prevention, citing lavender oil’s “strong hair growth-promoting properties.”
The benefits of lavender have been discussed several times. Lavender is a wonderful herb that is native to North Africa and offers health and aesthetic advantages. Lavender plant and lavender essential oil have a soothing scent that has relaxing properties, which is why they are used in many aromatherapeutic beauty products. Lavender is also used in hair products, such as the PURC lavender conditioner bars because of its exceptional advantages.
This shampoo bar washes your scalp gently and removes all pollutants. It thoroughly conditions your hair while stimulating hair follicles and promoting hair growth. This soap bar maintains your hair and scalp healthy by including vitamins E and C, which are recognised for their nourishing effects.
It can also help condition hair, increase shine, and reduce frizz, especially when used in conjunction with PURC Lavender Shampoo Bar.

What is it made of?

It contains lavender oil, which encourages hair development and is an excellent component for relieving stress and anxiety due to its wonderful relaxing scent. Shea butter is also important for preventing frizz and restoring moisture in the hair.
Shea butter combined with lavender essential oils may work miracles for your hair, giving it both smoothness and strength. As a result, shea butter is necessary for maintaining your hair nourished and vibrant all day.

Best suited for

With the Lavender Conditioner Bar, you can say goodbye to dandruff. Lavender is a cleaning and balancing plant that can help with greasy or dry hair and scalp.
Because of its antimicrobial qualities, lavender oil aids in the treatment of dry, flaking, and itchy scalp. Its soothing qualities also help to relieve any scalp discomfort.

3. Bio Seaweed Conditioner Bars

Why Bio Seaweed Conditioner Bars

What if we told you that Seaweeds and algae provide the majority of the world’s oxygen (about 70%). And seaweed is one of the most important carbon sinks on the planet. Seaweed, according to scientists, can play a significant role in addressing climate change.
That’s exactly what bio seaweed does for your skin and scalp: it nourishes it to the max. It is well recognised for its unsaturated fatty acid content, which offers ample sustenance for hair after shampooing from the hair follicles to the terminal tresses.
Omega-3 fatty acids are abundant in seaweeds. When your body is nourished with Omega-3, your hair follicles absorb the proper quantity of nutrients to promote growth. Seaweed’s Omega-3s also help to increase blood circulation in the scalp, which is necessary for hair development.
PURC Bio Seaweed Conditioner Bar incorporates seaweed nutrition into a conditioner that promotes gorgeous, strong hair that you can’t stop stroking! Combine it with PURC Bio Seaweed Shampoo Bar for exemplary results.

What is it made of?

Algae that provide unsaturated fatty acids and necessary amino acids are employed as bio seaweeds in this conditioner. Its composition makes it the ideal component for thicker, silkier, and healthier hair; olive oil eliminates excess sebum build-up that inhibits hair development follicles, and glycerine locks in moisture and hydration, retaining natural oils and even treating dandruff and dry scalp.

Best suited for

If you have a dry, rough scalp and want your hair to have a lot of bounce and shine, this is the product for you. In addition, it may be used by those with a normal to oily scalp and sensitive scalp. Everyone can benefit from using a bio seaweed conditioner.
No matter what the problem with your hair is, whether it’s dry hair, damaged hair, hair loss, or rough hair. Bio seaweed conditioner is the answer to all hair issues. Every component in the conditioner promotes healthy hair, improves scalp blood circulation, and improves hair quality by working in concert with each other.

Here Are The Answers To Your Questions

1. How to use Conditioner Bars?

Apply immediately to your hair and rub all over, or lather up in your hands and then rub through your hair; this will not produce the soapy suds you expect from a shampoo bar, but rather a creamy paste.

2. How to store Conditioner Bars?

The easiest way to keep bio seaweed conditioner is to leave it in its container open for a few minutes after use, allowing the moisture to evaporate. You may then seal the container lid and rest certain that it is securely stored.

3. How long will it last?

A 60-gram seaweed conditioner bar will generally last 60-80 washes, depending on the length and volume of your hair.

4. Why opt for PURC Conditioner Bar instead of other types of conditioner?

Their conditioner bars are made using Keratin derived from plants rather than animals. Keratin is known to give your hair a shiny or glossy appearance, as well as volume. It also keeps your hair healthy and prevents it from damaging chemical hair treatments at salons.

5. Are the Conditioner Bars Kids/Pregnant Women Friendly?

It’s created with all-natural oils and substances that are completely safe for everyone. It is non-irritating and does not cause rashes or allergies. Their goods are free of harmful chemicals and artificial scents. As a result, using it on your hair is entirely risk-free. It is safe for pregnant women and children over the age of three.

Be The Change: Let’s Pave A Sustainable Future

Written by Sarah Cole on September 14, 2021. Posted in Blog. No Comments on Be The Change: Let’s Pave A Sustainable Future

Green Brands & A Sustainable Lifestyle

With the growing environmental issues on the planet, as humans, it is our utmost responsibility to reduce them, if we cannot completely eliminate them. Due to ongoing consumption of the earth’s resources, scientists are finding it difficult to combat challenges like global warming and CO2 emissions. Either we find a better and greater sustainable lifestyle to protect the ecological aspect of the world or we will perish sooner.

What are green brands? To answer that question, green brands aim for zero waste production to protect the environment. They aim for the minimalism of production of such harmful materials.

How Can Brands Make A Difference?

1. Set An Example

Because more consumers are demanding ecologically friendly products, companies who do not follow pace will see their profits drop. When we all work together to promote green brands, we are putting pressure on those who are still using environmentally destructive and unethical practices to make the required adjustments in their business ethos.

A lot of brands have undertaken concerted efforts to reduce their carbon footprint across their supply chain. No aspect of the product’s sustainability is disregarded, from the gathering of natural resources to the packing and final disposal of the finished product.

2. Preserves Natural Resources

We are all aware that our world’s natural resources are depleting at an alarming rate. This should be enough to motivate us to take measures to better manage our limited resources.

By actively participating in this preservation effort, we are assisting in the reduction of waste and the management of our planet’s resources. This will leave a lovely and clean environment for future generations to enjoy.

3. Environmental Friendly Household

Many of our household technologies may meet our basic requirements, but they also have the potential to harm our health and the environment in the long run.

Several items nowadays need an excessive amount of resources to manufacture and cannot be disposed of in an ecologically responsible manner, for example, Detergents, preservatives, and foaming agents are among the most harmful chemicals to the environment. Toilet paper rolls require a lot of trees to be cut down. A tonne of paper rolls takes at least 17 trees and 90,921 gallons of water. Because a typical individual consumes 100 rolls of toilet paper a year, this is not a practise that can be sustained.

Alternative energy sources such as solar thermal are another option for moving to a more eco-friendly Rather than utilising gas or oil, a solar thermal panel uses the sun’s heat to boil water, generating electricity without any combustion.

4. Opt For Cleaner Alternatives

There is no greater approach to persuade someone to live a more sustainable lifestyle than to set a good example. Anyone in the house has the potential to become an excellent example of that. Teach your children the importance of being attentive while making purchasing selections if you are a grownup.

If you’re a responsible adolescent, do everything you can to spread the word about the necessity of sustainable living to your peers. When purchasing clothing, electronics, beauty, and other items, examine how they are created and how they will harm the environment when discarded.

What Is Sustainability?

For any person thinking about adopting a more sustainable lifestyle, it is critical to understand what the term “sustainable” means. The ability to survive and expand without diminishing natural resources for the future is referred to as sustainability.

In the Brundtland Report, the United Nations defined sustainable development as development that satisfies the requirements of the present without jeopardising future generations’ ability to meet their own needs. It assumes that resources are finite and should be used sparingly and wisely to guarantee that there is enough for future generations while not reducing current quality of life. A sustainable society must be socially accountable, with an emphasis on environmental preservation and dynamic balance in human and natural systems.

How To Begin

Because we should begin at home, we should begin by using sustainable household items. Let us look at some ecologically friendly and long-lasting items.

1. Bamboo Bottle

Since plastic contributes to the toxic waste production, we may resort to more eco-friendly products like bamboo bottles.
Plastic drinking water bottles are not very safe, considering plastic is itself a toxic product. Toxic metals such as lead and cadmium can be found in plastic and glass bottles. Toxic materials accumulate within your body after consuming water or other liquids in them, potentially causing long-term damage.
Bamboo Bottles are an eco-friendly and non-toxic alternative for plastic bottles and it strives to combat the plastic crisis and lessen our reliance on plastic in our daily lives.
Besides, Bamboo water is said to contain antibacterial qualities that protect you from germs and boost your immune system.

2. Biodegradable Sanitary Napkins

In 2020, the worldwide biodegradable sanitary napkin market was expected to be worth $1,240 million. According to IMARC Group, the market would expand at a CAGR of 22.8 percent between 2021 and 2026.
On menstrual days, all that is required is comfort and plain relaxation. And because many people aren’t used to using period items like a menstrual cup or a tampon, they resort to the most popular option, a sanitary napkin.
Sanitary napkins, or pads as they are commonly known, are not biodegradable. Many organisations are developing biodegradable sanitary napkins.
Sparkle is one such example. Sparkle is an Indian company that sells biodegradable sanitary napkins that are filled with bamboo and banana fibres, making them both healthy and pleasant. These goods are not only environmentally beneficial, but they also help to reduce trash.

3. Organic Shampoo & Conditioner Bars

PURC Organics is a brand that offers an alternative to non-green items, such as plastic for packaging. The shampoo and conditioner bars from PURC Organic are organic and naturally enhanced, so you won’t have to worry about harmful chemicals.
In terms of sustainability, bar shampoos and conditioners are some of the best options available. In addition, these solid formulas, like waterless products, do not require preservatives and are typically packaged in paper or cardboard instead of plastic, making them much more environmentally friendly.

4. Cloth & Jute bags

Every year, around 500 billIon plastic bags are used globally. So numerous that over one million bags are being produced every minute, wreaking havoc on our environment.
Because polybags are petroleum-based and non-biodegradable, and producing paper bags necessitates a huge amount of wood, it is preferable to use jute and cloth bags,
which are created from renewable natural fibres.
Say goodbye to plastic bags and welcome to eco-friendly, reusable cloth and jute bags. These bags are linked with longevity and are well worth purchasing since they come in a variety of forms, sizes, and colours that are suitable for everyone. They are environmentally friendly and hence an excellent choice.

Future Of Sustainability

Sustainability in commercial enterprises will go from a luxury to a need during the next five years. Examining your product and its performance today will allow you to stay ahead of the competition.

Of course, ensuring that items are made utilising green technology and methods to generate a low-emitting product is also vital, but we feel these two traits go hand in hand.

Choose life, choose sustainability and pave a way for a better future.

A Full Guide On Skin & Hair Care For Your Baby

Written by Sarah Cole on September 13, 2021. Posted in Blog. No Comments on A Full Guide On Skin & Hair Care For Your Baby

One of the most enjoyable aspects of pregnancy is envisioning how your baby will appear. What colour will their eyes be? Will their hair be black, blond, brown, or red? You could even imagine your kid having a full head of hair in your mind’s eye.

Yes, becoming a parent for the first time is a great experience – but it may also be daunting at times! There appear to be a million things to recall.

Babies do not come with instruction manuals. However, this useful guide is for you if one of the things you’ve been thinking about is how to care for infant skin. We guide you how to get the most out of your natural baby care products – and how to keep your baby’s sensitive skin smooth and comforted.

Skincare For Baby Skin

Everyone knows that a baby’s skin is among the softest and most sensitive on the planet. Baby skin is some of the most sensitive skin since it is so fragile. It takes time for a baby’s skin barrier to develop; he or she is not born with an acid mantle.

Baby skin, without the skin barrier, cannot fight off dangerous environmental allergens and pathogens as well as adult skin. Baby skin is also up to ten times thinner than adult skin, so the children in our life require a little more attention when it comes to skin care.

Baby skin loses moisture far faster than adult skin, so you must take additional precautions to retain it and help it develop.

1. Bath Time is Fun Time

According to healthy.children.org ,”The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends postponing a baby’s first bath until 24 hours after birth—or at least 6 hours if a full day isn’t possible for cultural reasons.”
Only sponge bathes for your infant until the umbilical cord has come off and the circumcision wound has healed, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. This will assist to avoid any infections that may arise as a result of the excess moisture at the incision sites.
It’s an unquestionable requirement to maintain your baby’s skin soaked and moisturised as he or she transitions from sponge showers to actual baths, which occurs when the umbilical cord stump has come off. When it comes to moisturising and protecting your child’s skin, opt for PURC Organics Bath Bombs, one of the finest infant skin friendly cleansers in the market

2. Protection from UV Rays

The FDA and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend keeping newborns and babies younger than 6 months out of direct sunlight since their skin is most sensitive during that phase.
It’s especially crucial to avoid direct sun exposure and seek cover between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun is at its strongest.
It’s appropriate to start using sunscreen on your kid once he or she reaches the age of six months. Choose a sunscreen with a minimum sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 that is broad-spectrum and water-resistant.
Think Baby Safe Sunscreen is a safer choice for protecting your infant against dangerous UVA/UVB rays, free radicals, irritants, and physiologically hazardous substances, and it has been evaluated by a paediatrician and a dermatologist.

3. Dealing with Diaper Rashes

In the first year, a single infant needs an average of 10-12 diapers each day. While every mother goes to great lengths to ensure that her child receives the best possible care, small details can often go undetected.
Nappy rash refers to a group of inflammatory skin diseases that develop in the groyne and buttocks as a direct or indirect effect of using diapers. It is quite frequent and is caused by a number of reasons, the first of which is extended contact to urine and faeces moisture.
Bacteria and yeast thrive in a wet environment, so tiny red rashes form quickly, giving your child much discomfort.
Boudaux’s Butt Paste Cream helps treat and prevent diaper rash. In fact, using a diaper rash cream after cleaning your baby’s dirty diaper is always a smart idea. A diaper-rash cream should be in every diaper bag since infant skin is prone to rashes, and you don’t want your child to suffer!

4. Keep the Massages Going

Touch isn’t only a memory of the womb; it’s also a vital ingredient for growth, much like milk. Touch is even more helpful than milk in certain respects. It releases endorphins, which keep your child happy and comfortable, as well as speeding up the production of new, healthy cells.
One research revealed that preemies that received infant massages for 15 minutes a day acquired more weight and left the hospital on average one week earlier. These same newborns had better IQs a year later than preemies who were frequently held.
According to another study, healthy, full-term newborns who were massaged every day screamed less, were more attentive and socially engaged, and had lower stress hormone levels.
Cocobelle Organic Coconut Oil is created with 100 percent virgin coconut oil and is totally natural with no chemicals, making it the ideal nutrient-rich natural body butter, soothing and effective bottom balm, and baby massage oil for your child’s skin.

5. Moisturising is the key

Although newborns’ skin is dry, their bodies do generate natural oils. These oil glands, however, take longer to mature in certain infants. Using a nice lotion designed with solely natural, organic components to keep your baby’s skin smooth while also providing a protective barrier to keep out environmental toxins is a wise decision
Just Hatched Baby Lotion is made up of naturally derived skin conditioners and moisturisers, as well as essential oils, and provides a gentle way to soothe your baby’s skin with an ultra-mild moisturising formula that is fast-absorbing and non-greasy, leaving your little one’s delicate skin feeling soft, smooth, and lightly scented.

Hair Care for Baby

The way you care for your newborn’s scalp and hair is very different from how you would care for your own hair. Why? Mostly because a newborn’s scalp and hair are particularly fragile and require extra gentle and cautious handling.

Babies’ scalps and hair are extremely sensitive. Some babies are born bald, while others have a head full of newborn hair. In any scenario, the general dos and don’ts of infant haircare remain quite consistent.

Here are some general guidelines for caring for your baby’s scalp and hair.

1. Shampoo & Condition Regularly

Despite spending much of their early lives sleeping, newborns’ heads and hair are prone to become quite filthy, tangled, and even a bit stinky, so developing a healthy bathtime regimen that cares for their sensitive skin and hair is essential.
It is crucial to note, however, that you do not need to shampoo your baby’s hair every day. You may want to wash it every other day, or even less frequently, depending on what works best for you and the mess your child makes.
The most important thing to remember while caring for your baby’s hair is to be careful and avoid putting pressure on the delicate region on your baby’s head.
PURC Organics Shampoo and Conditioner Bars include elements that are light, soothing, and pH-balanced for a baby’s first introduction to wash-rinse-repeat Mother Earth and your baby will not shed tears with these organic, environmentally sustainable, and baby skin friendly shampoo and conditioner bars.

2. Soft Towel with some extra love

After shampooing and conditioning your baby’s hair, be as gentle as possible when drying it. To softly dry their hair, use a soft towel.
Using a harsh or rough towel on their immature hair follicles might potentially harm them and delay hair development.
Towel dry your baby’s hair gently with a soft towel or a microfiber hair drying cap which is soft and gentle on the hair. Don’t worry about drying it too much; you may let their hair dry naturally – most babies have extremely fine hair that dries fast.

3. In for some Champi (Oil Massage on Hair)

Massage your baby’s hair with oil to improve blood circulation in the scalp and pores. Hair oil also prevents dryness and dandruff by moisturising the scalp.
To relax any dry skin and improve circulation, massage your baby’s scalp every day. Gently massage your baby’s scalp with a specially designed baby massage oil or baby hair oil on a regular basis. This can be done before the baby’s bath time. This will assist to remove dead skin cells as well as dry, flaky skin from your baby’s scalp, leaving it soft and smooth. For newborns with a cradle cap, massaging the scalp is also advised.
Mom and World Baby Hair Oil provides all-around nourishment for your baby’s fragile hair and scalp, as well as the necessary nutrients and vitamins for his or her soft scalp and hair.

4. Go Gentle on Combing

Hair development can also be stimulated by gently combing, brushing, or massaging a baby’s scalp. Because regular grooming helps release the cradle cap and eliminate dry skin, this is a good idea.
Brushing also improves blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles. Massage your baby’s scalp with your fingers for a few minutes after applying oil.
To keep your baby’s hair smooth and healthy, comb it twice or three times a day. If your baby’s hair is always messy or tangled, get it trimmed on a regular basis.
Detangle your baby’s hair with a soft-bristled, wide-toothed brush. It enables you to do so without harming the infant. This promotes hair development and soothes your baby, so don’t be shocked if they fall asleep as a result.

5. Watch out for some Bald Spots

On average, a newborn baby sleeps for 14 to 16 hours each day on their back.
Because babies spend so much of their time napping, the friction between their head and the surface on which they sleep can cause a bald spot to form in this area over time.
Here’s good news. Don’t fret if your child develops bald spots on the back of his or her head. These are normal side effects of your baby spending so much time with their back against various surfaces.
Every day, give your baby supervised tummy time. Alternatively, try moving their head slightly to the side to change the position of their head.

Takeaway

The skin and scalp of each newborn is unique. Figure out what works best for your child, and remember that less is generally more! By keeping your child’s hair and skin care basic, he will be less likely to develop a condition that requires treatment.

AHA, BHA & PHA – What Is The Difference & Why Should You Know?

Written by Sarah Cole on September 4, 2021. Posted in Blog. No Comments on AHA, BHA & PHA – What Is The Difference & Why Should You Know?

BHAs are good for oily, and acne-prone skin with clogged pores and excess oil, while PHAs are good for all skin types, especially: dry, sensitive skin, including those with rosacea and eczema that AHAs and BHAs cannot tolerate.

The beauty aisles of today resemble something out of a chemical lab. Using acids on your face may seem scary at first, but they’re game-changers when it comes to achieving smooth, even-toned, and luminous skin.

The key to incorporating acids into your skincare routine is understanding which acid to use based on your skin type.

Knowing what acids are in your products and how they function might help you discover the appropriate anti-aging blend to create a regimen that gives you the results you want. This article is intended to assist you in comprehending the most prevalent types of acids and their functions.

Prepare to shine!

What is AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids)?

Meaning

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are a class of acids produced from plants and animals that are utilised in a wide range of cosmetic products.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids are classified as a chemical exfoliator, which means they remove dead skin cells with the use of chemicals (acids or enzymes).
They’re often used for exfoliation because they help break down the connections between skin cells, called desmosomes in scientific terms, so they can be cleaned more easily.
The Alpha Hydroxy Acids are water soluble components produced from natural sources such as sugar cane, almonds, milk, grapes, and citrus fruits. They are hydrophilic, which means they are inclined to liquid.

Uses

1. Chemical Exfoliation

Decomposing skin cells give your skin a harsh feel and increase the chance of developing fine lines or wrinkles. Exfoliating your skin, on the other hand, smoothes it and can even brighten it, as anybody who has done it before knows.
In comparison, abrasive brushing, scrubs, or face cloth exfoliation techniques do not work as well as chemical exfoliants. These techniques of mechanical exfoliation can be abrasive and irritate the skin.

2. Anti – Aging

AHAs are good for those who wish to “refresh” their skin since they “provide almost instant satisfaction.”
AHAs do this by eliminating the top layer of dead skin cells, revealing new, healthy cells beneath. AHAs have been shown to enhance collagen and elastin in the skin when used for a long time.

Types

1. Glycolic Acid.

Small molecular size allows it to quickly permeate the skin, making it a very efficient alpha hydroxy acid for the skin.
Derived from sugarcane, it has the ability to unclog pores and regulate the production of sebum. It’s perfect for those with older skin types.

2. Lactic acid

As a result of increased cell turnover, dead skin cells on the epidermis — the top layer of skin — are more easily removed.
Skin becomes firmer and thicker when lactic acid is used at a 12% concentration. Decreased fine lines and wrinkles are the outcome.

What is BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid)?

Meaning

Beta Hydroxy Acids, like AHA, are exfoliators; however, they work in a slightly different way and have distinct advantages. BHA has the ability to enter the skin more deeply in order to provide its therapeutic benefits.
BHA is lipophilic, which means it binds to oil. This makes it ideal for removing excess oil and sebum from the skin. Because it can penetrate deep into the skin, it thoroughly cleans the pores.

Uses

1. Inhibitor Of Acne

BHA is good for people with oily skin, which is frequently accompanied by acne, due to its lipophilic characteristics.
They can avoid the oil that clogs pores and dissolve the mixture of sebum and dead skin that causes acne, as well as stabilise the pore lining which contributes to acne.

2. Irritation-Infused Hyperpigmentation

Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is skin darkening induced by inflammation or damage to the skin.
BHA significantly decreases the redness, dryness, scaliness, and greasy skin that accompany a PIH flare up.

Types

1. Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid, produced from willow tree bark, wintergreen oil, and sweet birch, is the most widely utilised BHA. Aspirin contains salicylic acid. If you’ve ever taken aspirin to cure acne, you now understand why.
It is widely recognised for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial qualities, which aid in the treatment of spots, acne, and red, irritated skin.
According to certain study findings, salicylic acid is also photoprotective, which implies it may be used as a sunscreen. When it comes to skincare, this is an added advantage.

What Is PHA (Poly Hydroxy Acids)?

Meaning

In the world of skincare, the PHA is the most recent addition to the family of hydroxy acids.
Molecularly, PHA is quite similar to AHA. It also helps exfoliation by breaking down the bonds between cells.
However, due to its greater molecular size, PHA does not enter the skin as quickly as AHA. This reduces skin inflammation, if any.

Uses

1. Skin Hydration

PHAs protect your skin against ‘glycation,’ a process in which ingested sugar attaches itself permanently to your skin’s collagen, weakening it and reducing elastin.
This implies that PHAs may help remove dead skin cells from the surface of your face while hydrating it at the same time, which is why they’re called “humectants.”

2. Suitable for Sensitive Skin

Due to their larger molecular size, anti-inflammatory effects, and surface-level penetration, PHAs are a better alternative for sensitive skin since it is less prone to irritate your skin.
As a result, those with sensitive skin or diseases such as rosacea or eczema may tolerate it and benefit from it.

Types

1. Lactobionic acid

Lactose in cow’s milk is a plant-derived sugar. This humectant and antioxidant helps the skin retain moisture.
It promotes cellular turnover, resulting in plump and firm skin as a result of its effects. As a result, pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles and scars are reduced in appearance.

2. Galactose

Found in lactose or milk sugars. Galactose is an energy-giving vitamin that promotes collagen production, which aids healing.

Takeway

So the next time you go shopping for cosmetics, you’ll know what chemical exfoliators to look for. Also, when working with acids in your routine, it’s important to give them time to work on the skin before applying anything else, and to always use SPF the morning after—acids exfoliate and boost cell turnover, but they can also thin the top layer of skin, so UV protection is essential.
