We use products that contain up to 98% organic ingredients and are 100% natural - “spa naturals“ they are manufactured in the USA especially for The Haven Spas.
Besides being a spa we are also a clinic, I myself being a nutritional therapist and naturopath, my husband is an acupuncturist and our Australian colleague is a remedial masseur and also an acupuncturist, health is our main objective in all we do. So finding natural spa products that combined tradition with modern science was a priority for us.
Maybe you have never considered that the products are not just skin deep, that 60% of what we put on our skin ends up in our blood stream! They say the average woman absorbs 5lbs of chemicals from her personal care products alone. Your personal care products could be one of the major contributors to your toxic overload. There are shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, body sprays, deodorants, hair sprays, hair gels, perfumes, talcs, body lotions, cleansers or face washes, toners, moisturizers, body splashes, face mists, insect repellents, make-up, toothpastes, roll-ons and so on, mostly filled with chemicals. To say nothing of those terrible room sprays, and household cleaning products you inhale! We have less control over our general environment (though we can all do our bit) but we do have total control over what we put in and on our bodies. Natural products still have active ingredients that can prevent premature aging, help to keep your skin young and healthy and be friendly to you and the environment at the same time. We have all been subjected to marketing wizardry, very clear advertising, that plays on our fears. Who regulates the safety of cosmetic products? We all assume that ‘somebody’ is monitoring all of that on our behalf to ensure that the ingredients used in the products that end up in our blood stream are safe. There is currently no independent industry looking after our health, which is not surprising considering what the food industry is allowed to put in our consumables. It’s hard to describe consumables that come out of the factories as food?! We have gone straight to a manufacturer whose total philosophy is the environment and health first. The company itself uses eco-friendly energy forms – solar and wind. The products contain a very high degree of organic ingredients, not just a token. By choosing not to use a high degree of synthetic, toxic chemicals in your personal care products, you are not only choosing to protect your health, but also safeguard the environment as well, which of course affects all of us directly or indirectly. The products are not tested on animals, and are vegan friendly (no animal products like animal fats).
It is important to know these products are natural and do not contain the usual synthetic perfumes, so they don’t really have a smell. This is so easily remedied by putting in a couple of drops of pure essential oils. They are amazing therapeutically and have wonderful aromas – hence aromatherapy. So you can give these natural products a luxurious smell, the range has essential oils for purchase – individually or in packs of five or so.
People are experiencing more and more hormone related health problems as a result of a poor diet, and increased environmental toxins. Many of the chemicals in skin care products can interfere with the body’s natural hormonal balance by either blocking a hormones action or by mimicking the hormones. As a result of this hormonal imbalance we are seeing the consequences –
infertility,
mood changes,
PMS,
thyroid problems,
hormone related cancers,
increased menopausal symptoms,
increased weight and fluid retention problems and more.
By choosing healthy personal care and household cleaning products you can significantly reduce the toxic load on your own body.
These skin care products are available to use at home, if you live in Panama.
