Justeliving Naturals is a Christ-centered company that believes in a holistic mind, body and soul approach to healthy living. Our company was founded from the desire to find products for the family that were healthy, safe and made from 100% natural, hypoallergenic ingredients.
Each of our products are made by hand in small batches using only the finest natural ingredients for maximum freshness. They are also fully customizable. You tell us what you want and that's what you get.
Along with other wonderful ingredients, Organic, unrefined Ivory or yellow African Shea Butter and/or Organic Mango Butter are almost always in the base of our skin and hair care products due to their super hydrating, healing and nourishing properties.
Our products contain absolutely NO chemicals, NO parabens, NO phthalates, NO petroleum, NO alcohol, NO formaldehyde, NO silicones, NO mineral oil and NO glycerin and are also GMO free. All products are tested on our own family first as well as outside product testers before releasing for sale, and they are NEVER tested on animals. We do not sell what we do not use.
PRESERVATIVES
Our products are made with simple, natural ingredients that have naturally short shelf. While we understand there's a need for products to be shelf stable for longer, we are strongly against commercial preservatives. With all this in mind we set out to find a truly natural preservative which for sometime, seemed illusive.
Then finally we came upon Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, a probiotic preservative derived from radish root through a fermentation process. This natural preservative contains live bacteria/active bacteria, which can help to improve the skin's natural flora and protect it against bad bacteria. Radish Root Ferment Filtrate is a mild antimicrobial which means it will not keep your products fresh indefinitely like most preservatives used in the cosmetics industry. However it does extend the shelf life of your product when it is stored properly.
NON-COMEDOGENIC NATURAL OILS
We use a select variety of natural oils that offer many benefits to help nourish your skin and hair. These oils are hypoallergenic, which means they are anti-inflammatory and work great for all skin types. Here are just a few.
Almond oil - This is one of the most useful, practical, and commonly used oils. It is great for all skin types as an acting emollient and is best known for its ability to soften, soothe, and re-condition the skin. It is truly marvelous as a carrier oil and is equally superb for addition to body care products.
Apricot Kernel oil - A wonderful oil similar to Sweet Almond, but more suitable for sensitive and prematurely aged skin. It can be used liberally in most body care recipes.
Argan oil - This rare and exquisite oil is meticulously pressed from the fruit kernels of the Moroccan Argan tree. Argan oil is rich in natural tocopherols (vitamin E) and phenols, carotenes, squalene and fatty acids, making it a truly luxurious oil. Argan oil absorbs quickly and is often used in skin, nail and hair treatments to deliver deep hydration, strengthen brittle hair and nails, and prevent/reduce stretch marks.
Avocado oil - This ultra-rich organic oil is a delightful treasure containing high amounts of Vitamin A, B1, B2, D, and E. Also contains amino acids, sterols, pantothenic acid, lecithin, and other essential fatty acids. Highly prized to those with skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, and other skin ailments, it also makes a lovely salad oil for dressings and condiments. Highly recommended to those with sensitive skin, problem skin, and other irritations that require vitamin rich oil.
Jamaican Black Castor oil - A natural source oil from castor beans. A hard and shiny oil found in most cosmetics that acts as a barrier agent and protective medium against harsh conditions and extremes. Jamaican Black Castor oil is especially known to support hair growth by cleansing the scalp of fungi and toxins that damage hair and slow growth. Castor oil also acts as a moisture sealant for skin and hair.
Coconut oil - This is a great oil for general moisturizing and serves as a protective layer, helping to retain the moisture in your skin. It also acts as a mild oil suitable for those with inflamed and irritated skin, and those with skin sensitivities. Coconut oil is without a doubt the number one lather-producing agent used in soaps.
Grapeseed oil - Grapeseed oil has a mild green color with a pleasant odor, silken texture, and great absorption rate. Generally employed as a base oil for many creams, lotions and as a general carrier oil. Grapeseed is especially useful for skin types that do not absorb oils too well, and it does not leave a greasy feeling. Wonderful for those with skin sensitivities because of its natural non-allergenic properties.
Jojoba oil - Jojoba oil comes from the beans of the shrub like plant, simmondsia chinensis. It is bright and golden in color and is regarded as the most favored in the carrier oil family because of its advanced molecular stability. Also makes a great scalp cleanser for the hair, and is equally wonderful for the skin because it has absorption properties that are similar to our skin’s own sebum.
Olive oil - Olive oil is by far the most universal oils used for a multitude of purposes including cosmetics, as a carrier oil, for hair care solutions, and in cooking. It has a rich, full bodied flavor with a strong aroma and is golden brown in color. It has a great conditioning effect in body care recipes and can be used in almost all applications because of its stable nature.
Shea Nut oil - Shea oil is a byproduct of Shea butter production where the pressing of the seeds produces a fractionated oil. This oil leaves a smooth and healthy feel to the skin and offers benefits for numerous skin problems including dermatitis, eczema, burns, cutaneous dryness and other irritations. Highly recommended as a protective agent against harsh weather conditions where a mild barrier against the elements is desired.
Tamanu oil - The Oil of Tamanu is extracted by a cold pressed method from the whole organic nuts of the Polynesian Tamanu tree. Tamanu oil has been thoroughly researched, and the conclusive evidence on its ability to heal damaged skin is overwhelming. Its benefits are notable for the treatment for scarring, stretch marks, minor cuts and abrasions, rashes, sores and much more. Can be used directly on the skin or mixed within formulations.
Wheat Germ oil - This ultra-rich, unrefined Wheat Germ oil is a great ingredient high in natural source Vitamin E, A, D, proteins, Lecithin, and Squalene. Wheat germ has been applied externally for numerous irritations including roughness of the skin, cracking, chaffing and many crafters of cosmetics use it successfully to help reverse the effects of wrinkling. The first ingredient in quality skin care products.
Vitamin E (T-50 Mixed Tocopherol Oil) - The purest form of natural vitamin E available. This natural mixed tocopherols (isolated from vegetable oils), is a natural, heat stable antioxidant that protects food and cosmetic products from oxidation thereby extending the shelf life of your product. This form of vitamin E is super moisturizing while promoting cell turnover and regeneration helping your skin look and feel silky smooth, and soft.
