Real Plant Ingredients - Real Farmers


What distinguishes Indochine Natural body care products from the big commercial brands is that we make our products using WHOLE VEGETABLE OILS and not plant-extracts via complex chemical extraction processes using petrochemicals.

What this means then is that every time you use an Indochine Natural body care product made from whole vegetable oils you are supporting many farming communities around the world. For example, when using our Spice Island Body Wash the following whole vegetable oils are used in the production and you are supporting farmers in these countries:

          Clove - Indonesia
          Patchouli - Indonesia
          Orange Sweet - Australia
          May Chang - China
          Cinnamon - Tanzania
          Star Anise - Spain
         Soybean Oil - Malaysia
         Coconut Oil - Malaysia
         Palm Oil - Malaysia

Purchase body care products made using whole vegetable oils….this is good for your health as these products are free of contaminants and synthetic ingredients, and supports farming communities.

Indochine Natural all-natural body care products are available from all JustLife stores,  or online.

DRY, FLAKEY MATURE SKIN?



Most people realize that harsh body wash will dry out skin, but as we age the skin also becomes drier and flakier. Fortunately, by choosing the right body wash we can restore the softness that aging takes away.

Indochine Naturals’s co-founder Dr. Mike says “It is better to use a moisturizing body wash. These products are milder than typical products and are packed with emollients and humectants that moisturize and smooth skin.” Dr. Mike also says that consumers should keep in mind that the synthetic fragrances used in many products these days can be irritating to the skin. He strongly recommends that for soft, silky skin, those with mature skin should look for cleansers and soaps made from natural vegetable oil such soybean and coconut oil.

The Indochine Natural body wash range developed by Dr. Mike are made from a special blend of natural vegetable oils including soybean and coconut oils. They are all-natural with pure essential oil fragrances and natural color. They will gently and effectively clean all skin types, and are blended to hydrate and rinse free without irritation, drying, or stripping the skin of moisture, therefore helping to reduce epidermal stress in mature skins.

For mature female skin we recommended our Geranium Body Wash. Geranium is an aromatherapy oil with a reputation as one of the best skincare oils.

And lets not forget mature male skin…..our Spice Island Body Wash is blended with the manly and exotic fragrances of Cinnamon, Aniseed and Clove, and sweetened with Orange and a touch of earthy Patchouli, to revive and freshen your senses. Excellent benefits as an astringent, with antibacterial, antifungal properties, and helpful in removal of body odors.

Hair Loss


 Dr. Mike, the co-founder of Indochine Natural and the company Managing Director has the following advice on hair loss:

Unfortunately something that most of us have to deal with from time to time is HAIR LOSS. There are a few different types of hair loss caused by a number of medical conditions and genetics, and then those caused by age, environmental conditions, and the use of cosmetics etc. If you have a severe medical condition causing hair loss, then you should seek professional medical advice.

My approach to tackling hair loss is two pronged:

(1) AVOID PRACTICES THAT CAN DAMAGE HAIR SUCH AS

·       vigorously towel drying your hair
·       brushing or combing your hair when it is wet
·       using blow dryers or curling irons on wet hair
·       the use of styling products
·       styling your hair with tight braids, ponytails, and hair extensions.
·       too much hot water can damage the hair.

(2) ADOPT POSITIVE APPROACHES FOR HEALTHY HAIR

·       Stick to one shampoo, and avoid those that are not natural so as to avoid adding more and more chemical products to your hair which can cause damage and hair loss.
·       Frequent washing can help keep hair clean and healthy.
·       Try and reduce stress or anxiety as this will lead to physical and mental deterioration, which may cause hair loss.
·       Have a look at your diet. Eating a balanced diet and including fruits and green vegetables can be beneficial for overall health in addition to promoting healthy hair.
·       Most importantly, avoid using chemical shampoo. This can be difficult, as nearly all shampoos these days are complex chemical recipes consisting of detergents, foaming agents, and various colours, synthetic fragrances, and artificial oils to coal and smooth hair.

Indochine Natural is one of the very few companies in the world today that produces all natural shampoo made entirely from natural vegetable oils and without any synthetic additives.
