Beauty and wellness go hand in hand.  At Ulew Natural Products, we believe that it isn’t necessary to give up beauty in exchange for health. We are committed to helping you learn about product safety and to providing safe, natural cosmetics and products for you and your family.

The majority of cosmetics in use today contain at least a few unhealthy ingredients and many contain ingredients which are known or suspected to cause various side effects including cancer.  It is important for people to become educated on the products they are using and to understand the potential effects of these ingredients on their bodies.  The cosmetic industry is largely unregulated and finding safe products becomes difficult and confusing.  Many product advertisements lead people to believe that a product is “natural, safe and healthy” when in reality the product might contain some natural or organic ingredients added to an otherwise toxic base.

A health conscious person who knows that they should not eat unhealthy foods is often unaware that the cosmetics they put on their skin might be an even bigger health concern.  It is especially alarming that children are beginning to use cosmetics at a young age when the effects of cosmetic ingredients on their young, developing bodies is largely unknown.  Pregnant women are also beginning to learn that unhealthy ingredients can affect the health of their unborn children.

In addition to offering healthy personal care products, Ulew Natural Products, is committed to creating awareness by building an online community providing a forum for education and advocacy.  Together we can affect change in the cosmetic industry by speaking up and demanding accountability for healtheir products.  Visit our Ulew community blog to voice your opinion.

What Is Organic?

Certified Organic products are grown and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilizers, or GMO’s*(see definition below). It is an innovative method of farming and production and is increasingly being recognized as being on the leading edge of food and fibre technology into the future. Organics is not just chemical free by testing. It is about the way the product ingredients have been grown, prepared, processed and packaged. The whole system is linked;

 

 What is a GMO?

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is a plant, animal or microorganism whose genetic code has been altered (subtracted from, or added to either the same species or a different species) in order to give it characteristics that it does not have naturally.

Scientists can now transfer genes between species that otherwise would be incapable of mating, for example, a goat and a spider. This is what we call transgenesis. Little is known about the long-term effects of such manipulations on humans, plants, animals and/or the environment. And while some see GMO’s as the way to the future, others believe that scientists have gone too far, tinkering with the essence of life.
