- Can I use your products if I'm pregnant?
We have now launched our new Maternity and Baby range which is specifically designed to help you relax and feel pamperd throughout your pregnancy and into motherhood.
None of our products contain ingredients at levels that should cause concern during pregnancy. However, some people choose to avoid products such as our bath and massage oils as these contain pure essential oils at higher levels than the rest of our product range.
By advising you not to use our products during pregnancy we are being EXTREMELY cautious. If you have any concerns at all we have to advise that you show the ingredients list to your GP or pharmacist and ask their opinion before using any of our products.
- Are Cowshed products suitable for vegans? Yes, with the exception of one:
- Lippy Cow Natural Lip Balm: contains organic bees wax
- Do your products contain parabens, sulphates, petrochemicals, artificial fragrances or colours?
- Why are Cowshed products Paraben free? Parabens are used in an estimated 90% of skincare products. They are preservatives that extend the shelf life for many years. In healthy skin parabens are non-irritating. However in fragile, sensitive or young skin parabens may cause skin irritation, contact dermatitis and Rosacea.
Cowshed 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 Cowshed 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.
Cowshed products are sulphate free to maintain a healthy skin barrier function.
- Why are Cowshed 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.
Cowshed products are petrochemical free to allow the skin to breathe. Cowshed prefers to ethically harvest ingredients in a sustainable way.
- Why don't Cowshed 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.
Cowshed's products are artificial colour free as there is no aroma therapeutic benefits gained from artificial colours.
