Your skin is the largest living
organ your body has, everything you put on your skin, goes into your
body and Safiya Karite wants to be a part of your every day hair and
skin regimen.
Our main ingredients include Virgin Olive Oil, Raw(unrefined) Shea Butter, Unrefined ( unbleached) Raw Cocoa Butter
and Golden Jojoba Oils as well as several other exotic oils and butters.
We use varied ingredients that are considered raw and organic and are
careful to do research before including any of these ingredients as
well as all ingredients in our finished product. Most consumers prefer
the use of pure essential oils in their hair and skincare products over
the use of fragrance or synthetic oils and we value your opinion and
respect your choices. But as both a precaution and necessity for our
protection as well as our customer, we've decided to limit the types of
essentials oils in our products. I'm sure your asking why. Consider the Rosmarinus Officinalis. You know it as Rosemary Essential Oil
Positive
Rosemary oil and rosemary teas are used
extensively for hair care in shampoos and lotions. Regular use of
rosemary oil helps in stimulating follicles, as a result of which, hair
grow longer and stronger. It is also believed that rosemary oil slows
down premature hair loss and graying of hair. Hence it is an excellent
tonic for bald people. Rosemary essential oil is also beneficial for
dry and flaky scalps. Regular massage of scalp with rosemary oil
nourishes the scalp and removes dandruff. Further, it is often mixed with tea tree oil and basil oil to treat scalp problems.
When added to shampoo it not only increases the circulation to the scalp
and thereby improving hair growth, but also acts as a general
conditioner and tonic for the hair and scalp.
Negative
Rosemary oil should not be used during pregnancy and is unsuitable for people with epilepsy or high blood pressure.
Here's Why For
this reason alone, when we formulate a new product we need to caution our customers to do
their research on the ingredients involved, which helps them to make
educated decisions and wise purchase choices. It's our goal to provide
alternatives to these very important issues, without putting your life
or health at risk.
We simply believe that you would be much more inclined to purchase from a company that has your absolute health in mind. When you consider that the African American Hair Care Industry alone is over $9 Billions a year, you can't help but think about just how many people and how often the consumer purchases an individual product that could actually have adverse effects on their health. It is much easier to change your hair care regimen and the products you use, than it is to get your health back.
Just how much should you trust the big cosmetic companies, and do they have your best interests at heart?
Let's just say that you shouldn't trust anyone with your health that you have never met. It's just not enough to say that you are purchasing a product that makes your hair smell good, and feel soft. Or that you purchased something because it was cheap and had pretty packaging.
The use of synthetic chemicals compounded with the use of Essential oils alone, could send you to the hospital if your not careful. So please, DO YOUR RESEARCH.
We at Safiya Karite will be, and we'll be sure to caution you when the use of certain Essential Oils or other natural ingredients are used that may have adverse affects to specific health conditions.
