What is Organic September? Benefits of Organic Ingredients in Hair Care

As we step into Organic September 2024, a month devoted to celebrating all things organic, we at Naturtint are thrilled to join the movement. This global initiative highlights the benefits of living an organic lifestyle, from the food we consume to the products we use in our daily routines—including hair care.

At Naturtint, we’re committed to making products with natural and sustainable ingredients. While we’re not exclusively an organic brand, we aim to incorporate organic elements wherever possible. This Organic September let’s take a closer look at what organic really means in the world of hair care and why it’s worth the attention. We’ll also dive into what some of the certifications on our products mean.

What is Organic September?

If you’re thinking ‘What is Organic September?’ Let us explain. Organic September is a fantastic initiative kicked off by the Soil Association in the UK. It aims to spread awareness about the positive impact of organic choices on both personal health and the environment. This month-long celebration encourages everyone to make more informed decisions – whether it’s choosing organic fruits and vegetables or opting for beauty and hair care products that use natural, sustainably sourced ingredients.

By going organic, you’re not only choosing healthier options for yourself but also supporting sustainable farming practices that are kinder to our planet. It’s all about embracing a lifestyle that’s good for you and the environment!

What are Organic Ingredients?

Organic ingredients are produced by methods complying with the standards of organic farming. Sourced from animals or plants grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or other artificial chemicals. This means they are nurtured through natural farming methods that respect and enhance the environment. Choosing organic means, you are opting for ingredients that have been cultivated in harmony with nature.

Organic Ingredients in Our Hair Care Products

At Naturtint, we’re all about celebrating the power of nature! Most of our hair products make use of organic ingredients where possible, that work wonders for your hair. Read on to learn about more of the organic ingredients used in our products and their benefits…

The Role of Organic Floral Waters and Extracts in Hair Care

Organic floral waters are a game-changer when it comes to achieving luscious, healthy hair. At Naturtint, we are proud to incorporate these naturally potent waters into lots of our products. Take Organic Lavender Floral Water, for example. This little wonder not only calms your scalp but also infuses your hair with moisture, leaving it feeling soft and refreshed. This incredible organic ingredient is featured in our Colour Fixing Shampoo and Protective Conditioner.

Then there’s Organic Chamomile Flower Extract, perfect for those of you looking to enhance your natural highlights. Rich in apigenin, this extract gradually lightens your hair, giving you that sun-kissed glow. You’ll find this in our Chamomile range created specifically for Blondes!

And let’s not forget the Organic Rock Rose Water, included in our Strengthening range. Known for its purifying properties, it helps maintain a clean, healthy scalp, which is essential for strong, vibrant hair.

Incorporating these organic floral waters into your hair care routine means you’re treating your hair to the best nature has to offer. Whether it’s calming, moisturising, brightening, or purifying, these botanical beauties bring a touch of natural luxury to your daily regimen.

Organic Shea Butter for Ultimate Hair Protection and Care

Organic Shea Butter is an absolute gem when it comes to nourishing your hair! Found in many of the Naturtint hair care products, including our Colour Fixing Protective Conditioner, this rich, creamy ingredient is renowned for its exceptional moisturising properties. Organic Shea Butter doesn’t just hydrate your hair; it wraps each strand in a protective layer, guarding against damage and environmental stressors. Say goodbye to dry, brittle hair and hello to soft, shiny locks that feel luxuriously smooth. What’s more, Shea Butter helps repair damaged hair keratin, sealing split ends and locking in that much-needed moisture. With each use, you’ll notice your hair becoming more manageable, resilient, and vibrant. Ready to give your hair the ultimate care it deserves? Let the magic of Organic Shea Butter transform your hair care routine, leaving you with healthy, gorgeous hair that’s full of life!

We’ve already discussed the many hair benefits of Organic Shea Butter, but it’s also one of the best ingredients for keeping your colour looking fresh. That’s why it’s also included in our Quinoa Hair Food Mask, the same mask you’ll also find included in all of our Permanent Hair Colour Gel boxes.

The Best Organic Ingredients for Coloured Hair

Keeping your hair colour vibrant can sometimes feel like a losing battle. The organic ingredients used in our products can help to prolong your colour life for longer wear.

Take Organic Lemon Extract, for instance. Rich in vitamin C and flavonoids, it acts as a natural shield against solar radiation, which can often dull your beautiful colour. By protecting your hair from the sun’s harsh rays, it helps your colour stay brighter for longer. You’ll find this in our Colour Fixing Shampoo and Colour Fixing Protective Conditioner.

You’ll also find Organic Sunflower Seed Extract in our Colour Fixing range. This is yet another hero in our line-up. Known for its ability to seal split ends, it locks in moisture and colour. It gives your hair that luminous shine we all crave while keeping your colour on lock.

By harnessing the natural power of these organic extracts, we’re dedicated to helping you preserve your hair’s vibrant beauty. Say goodbye to faded colour and hello to long-lasting brilliance.

Certifications That Guarantee Our Commitment to Quality

In the spirit of Organic September 2024, we thought we’d also give a shoutout to the different certifications that you’ll find on many of our products. At Naturtint, quality is paramount, and our certifications are a testament to that.

What does USDA Certified Biobased mean?

When you see the USDA Certified Biobased label on our products, you can be confident that they are made with a USDA-verified percentage of renewable, natural ingredients. This certification speaks to our products’ natural origins and our commitment to reducing environmental impact. On the label, you will see displayed the percentage of biobased ingredients within the product. For example, all our Permanent Hair Colour Gels contain 79% biobased ingredients.

What is COSMOS Natural?

But we don’t stop there! Our Strengthening Shampoo and other selected aftercare products bear the COSMOS Natural certification by Ecocert. This prestigious seal ensures formulations meet rigorous standards. The COSMOS certification guarantees environmentally friendly production and processing processes that respect human health.

The COSMOS natural certification means that on average about 99% of product ingredients are of natural origin. Our Ecocert products are all over 98% natural ingredients. The remaining percentage is made up of approved synthetic ingredients (including preservatives) that are authorised by Ecocert in small quantities. Our 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner Bars proudly carry the Ecocert label.

But these certifications aren’t just labels; they represent our dedication to transparency and choosing high-quality ingredients.

By incorporating naturally beneficial ingredients into products like our Colour Fixing Shampoo, Protective Conditioner, Chamomile range, Quinoa Mask, Strengthening range, 2 in 1 shampoo & conditioner bars and Nourishing range, we ensure that your hair gets the best care possible. So, let’s embrace Organic September 2024 with open arms and vibrant, healthy hair!
