Why use organic skincare?
Health practitioners will always advise looking at the ingredients label. Conventional skincare and cosmetic products are loaded with chemicals and additives and can baffle you with a long list of ingredients. Harebell Herbs contains only a few natural pure, high quality ingredients such as organic plant oils, organic beeswax, home grown flower extracts and infusions, seaweed and organic essential oils. By choosing Harebell Herbs organic skincare products you can reduce the cocktail effect of toxin intake through your skincare routine.
