About Old Mill's
Natural Lotions, Butters and Salves
We take a natural approach to our natural Whole Body Lotions, Body Butters,
Creams and Salves, because what goes on your skin goes into your bloodstream.
The skin is the largest breathing organ on your body, so why not treat it with
care? Here's some popular ingredients in mass-produced lotions and creams that
you WON'T find in ours:
- NO
Mineral Oil (highly
synthetic). We use
only vegetable oils and
butters.
- NO
Isopropyl Palmitate (a
synthetic moisturizer). We
use natural moisterizers.
- Besides
water, these are the top
two ingredients of Bath & Body
Works lotions.
- NO
Glyceryl Stearate (a
wax-like thickening agent). We
use more butters.
- NO
Cetyl Alcohol (a
fatty alcohol used as a
thickening agent). We
use butters for this.
- NOTE:
Besides water, fragrance
and stearic acid, the above
synthetics are the top four
ingredients in Bath & Body
Works lotions.
- NO
Propylene Glycol (used
to maintain moisture in
cosmetics and is also used
in antifreeze and deicing
products). We make
small batches and do not
need this synthetic.
- NO
Isopropyl Misitrate (another
synthetic moisturizer). Again,
we let oils and butters
provide this benefit.
- NO
Cyclomethicone or other silicone
additives. Instead of these "slip" agents,
we use nourishing organic
whole oils and butters!
- NO Parabens
(methyl, propyl, butyl, and
ethyl) - Used
as inhibitors of microbial growth and
to extend shelf life of products. Widely
used even though they are known to be
toxic. Have caused many allergic reactions
and skin rashes. Highly toxic. We
use a milder preservative in very low
concentrations (less than 1/2 a percent),
and only when oil and water are combined.
Gardener's Butter Balm has zero preservatives,
for instance. Same with our Natural Skin
Scrubs.
Once our customers try our moisturizers,
they are amazed at how much better they work. They are rich, creamy,
and truly extrordinary!
For more information
on these and other common harmful ingredients in mass-produced
products, see our TOXIC
INGREDIENT GLOSSARY !
Once our customers try our lotions, they
are amazed at how much better
they work. And because they
are so rich, a little goes
a long way, so it costs less
per use. Enjoy!
