Why 100% pure?
“As much as 60% of topical skin-care products are absorbed through the skin
and into the bloodstream,” Says Dr. Nancy Lonsdrof, M.D. an lowa-based
physician, “They should be consumed with the same prudence that we use to
choose our breakfast cereal.” – April 2006 issue of Women's Health
Magazine. There are many toxic chemicals in cosmetic products that have
been clinically proven to cause cancer, tumors, irritation and many different
skin disorders. 100% products are truly 100% Pure-no synthetic chemicals,
chemical preservatives, artificial fragrances, artificial colors, harsh detergents
or any other unhealthy toxins.
Why Vegan?
We love animals and refuse to support anything that hurts animals which is
why none of our formulas are ever tested on animals (everything we use is
food grade and does not require testing, whereas chemical ingredients must
be tested). All our makeup brushes are from synthetic fibers. No animals were
hurt for their fur and no animals were hurt for any of our ingredients (the only
animal ingredient we use is cruelty free honey).
Why not perfumes or fragrances?
Perfumes and fragrances are synthetic chemicals that do not have any
medicinal or aroma therapeutic value. 100% Pure products smell delicious
because what you smell is real. The wonderful aromas in 100% Pure products
are from real fruits, pure essential oils, and pure absolutes. There are never
any synthetic fragrances or anything artificial in 100% Pure products.
Why not thickeners and emulsifiers?
Because those are just cheap fillers. 100% Pure products are never diluted
with water, alcohol, thickeners, emulsifiers or any other “fillers”. Instead, 100%
Pure products are totally concentrated, which means they are most effective.
100% Pure products are based around antioxidants. Why are antioxidants so
important?
Every moment, we are slowly deteriorating. Free radicals such as the sun,
smog, smoke, cigarettes, etc. attack us, causing aging, wrinkles, and cancer.
ONLY Antioxidants protect us, fighting off the damaging free radicals. Sun
block is important because it blocks up to 80% of UV rays, but sun blocks DO
NOT protect against other free radicals. Your skin needs antioxidants for sun
protection and protection against all damaging free radicals.
Since there are no preservatives, how long do your products last once I open
them?
On each product, there is an open jar symbol with a number on it. That
number indicates how long you can use the product once it is opened. Rather
than using chemical preservatives, we use natural preservatives such as antibacterial herbs 100% Pure has several other unique proprietary technologies
that distinguish the company from competitors. We use unique technology to
stabilize active ingredients from oxidizing and also have a proprietary 100%
natural preservative system, using Japanese Honeysuckle, Thyme, Oregano,
Goldenseal, Rosemary, Lavender and a high concentration of vitamins and
antioxidants, to preserve all products.
What does 100% Pure Mean?
There are many toxic chemicals in cosmetic products that have been clinically
proven to cause cancer, tumors, irritation and many different skin disorders.
100% Pure products are truly 100% Pure. That means there are no synthetic
chemicals, chemical preservatives, artificial fragrances, artificial colors, harsh
detergents or any other unhealthy toxins. Truly health food for your skin.
Is 100% Pure Good for Sensitive Skin?
Because 100% Pure does not contain harsh detergents, chemical
preservatives, artificial fragrances that can irritate the skin, they are perfect for
sensitive skin.
What are Fruit Pigments?
Fruit pigments are what makes strawberries red, what makes blueberry skin
blue - fruit pigments are fruit colors. All 100% Pure cosmetics are colored from
fruit and vegetable pigments. All the antioxidants and vitamins are found in the
pigments. 100% Pure fruit pigmented patent-pending technology takes those
healthy fruit pigments and puts it into our cosmetics. That is why we have
blackberry mascara (mascara colored from blackberries), pomegranate wine
lip gloss (lip gloss colored from red wine and pomegranate) and cranberry
cheek tint (cheek tint colored from cranberries). The great thing with 100%
Pure fruit pigmented cosmetics is that you'll be applying all the healthy fruit
antioxidants and fruit vitamins directly onto your skin.
Why are the body washes so thin?
Our shower gels do not contain water, gums, thickeners, or emulsifiers - or
any other cheap fillers. However, they are very foaming and work best with a
bath net sponge!
Are your products gluten free? If so, where does the Vitamin E come from?
Most of our products are gluten free. We are sensitive to this since we know
many people suffer from gluten allergies. One common ingredient that
contains gluten is Vitamin E. But the Vitamin E we use is gluten free because
it's derived from cold pressing rice bran.
Are the sugars, butters, and salts unrefined?
We only use the best, most organic ingredients in all of our products. Refining
ingredients cause them to lose all nutrients and minerals. Therefore, all of our
ingredients are completely unrefined and contain all of their natural benefits!
Do you use nano size titanium dioxide in your sunscreen?
The titanium dioxide is not nano particles. Our sunscreen is a physical
sunblock which means it sits on top of the skin to physically protect against
the sun. If they were nano particles, they would absorb into the skin, therefore
be in-effective sunblock. Every batch of our sunblock is tested by a third party
lab to ensure a minimum stated SPF.
Are your products safe for kids?
Since 100% Pure products do not contain any synthetic chemicals, parabens,
sulfates or harsh detergents, artificial fragrances or colors, phthalates, 100%
Pure is safe for kids to use.
