Healthy Ingredients
There are thousands of chemicals in everyday products that you
most likely don’t even know exist. At Healthy Redwoods, we create organic non-toxic, non-animal tested products that replace the potentially toxic and carcinogenic products used by a majority of people.
Distilled Spring Water
The pure water in our products comes from a local company that distills
their water from local springs in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Grapeseed Oil
Different cosmetic and food grade oils are touted as being the most healthy in blogs and advertisements. As a class we looked into the actual scientific research behind these health claims. Based on clinical and laboratory research reported in reputable journals we found that grape seed oil was the clear winner because of its high concentration of linoleic acids. The top-quality, food-grade grapeseed oil we use in our products in cold-pressed and extracted without the use of hexane, or any other chemicals. Cold-pressed grapeseed oil is not as easy to emulsify as chemically extracted grapeseed oil, but we feel like it the trade-off is worth it to produce a truly non-toxic product.
Organic Beeswax
Although our research shows that there are no enforced organic standards
for beekeeping in the US, producers of organic honey and beeswax strive to feed their bees in pesticide-free fields and forests and do not spray their hives with chemical miticides that would contaminate the honey and wax. We are actively building relationships with to local beekeepers to ensure that the beeswax we use in our products is contaminant-free, healthy for bodies and
healthy for the planet.
Organic Lecithin
Our certified organic lecithin comes from organically grown soybeans and is
extracted without the use of chemical solvents.
Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils
We use only 100% pure, steam distilled essential oils to add
fragrance and aromatherapy benefits to our scented products. We also offer a truly fragrance-free products.
