Why are Black Chicken Remedies products Paraben free?

Black Chicken Remedies products are paraben free as they are formulated to be gentle on the skin whilst releasing the aroma therapeutic properties of essential oils.

Why are Black Chicken Remedies products Sulphate free?
Sulphates (SLS, SLES) are surfactant chemicals used to help cleaning products foam. Sulphates strip the skin of its natural protective oil barriers and often leave skin feeling taught, leathery and irritated.

Black Chicken Remedies products are sulphate free to maintain a healthy skin barrier function.

Why are Black Chicken Remedies products Petrochemical free?
Petrochemicals are chemical ingredients made from fractions of crude oil. The source of petrochemicals is non-renewable. Because of their occlusive properties, petrochemicals can clog the skin, preventing it to breathe.

Black Chicken Remedies products are petrochemical free to allow the skin to breathe.

Why don’t Black Chicken Remedies products use Artificial Colourings?
Artificial colours are listed as CI numbers on the ingredients list. They are used in many cosmetics to mask the natural colour of the product; making the product look more attractive. Artificial colours are synthetically made and are often difficult to bio-degrade.

Black Chicken Remedies’s products are artificial colour free as there is no aroma therapeutic benefits gained from artificial colours.
