Our organic and well-being advice

The advent of so-called “personal development” books testifies to this, well-being is at the center of personal and collective concerns . These books, which have swept through publishing houses and whose number of publications and sales have increased considerably in recent years, are intended to help the reader to tend towards an intimate journey to find or rediscover a state of being pleasant. .

Well-being would then correspond to a form of serenity felt, to a satisfaction of one's needs associated with pleasant sensations. To the emergence of personal development books, is added that of Zen salons, massage parlors, or various exhibition halls in Paris related to the world of well-being. During these shows, exhibitors tell visitors about the relevance of the approaches they offer to promote well-being. These books and exhibitions testify to the importance of well-being and its research in our contemporary world.

Aware of the benefits of this research on both an individual and collective scale, many studies have looked into the question to see and seek possible solutions to be put in place from 2021 to help us move towards well-being . One of the highlights of these studies is the importance that diet plays on well-being.

Indeed, in addition to helping to reduce the number of chances of developing many diseases, eating better would be of primary importance for our physical and moral well-being . One of the important points to promote our well-being through our lifestyle would include the fact of moving as much as possible towards organic products.

A food product is said to be “organic” when it holds the “Agriculture Biologique” certification, a French guarantee which ensures that the production method prohibits the use of chemical inputs, genetically modified organisms and pesticides. .

The benefits of organic

Whether in supermarket shelves, in dedicated stores, in many restaurants; organic products are developing and the offer has been increasing in recent years. Organic is becoming a major alternativ e to circumvent the excesses of so-called conventional agriculture and the agri-food sector and the products infested with pesticides and harmful to the soil that they offer.

More and more people are aware of the importance of organic food and the benefits it has , both for health and for the preservation of the environment and for the consideration of the animal cause .

Organic has many arguments to oppose to the majority production sectors in food retailing. A product from organic farming has more flavor and also has more taste . Devoid of additives and chemical inputs, it is not dangerous for our health. On the contrary, it has certain nutritional and taste properties destroyed during the use of pesticides used for traditional products.

However, organic is not limited to food . There is a wide range of organic products that also have benefits for our health. Thus, soap, hair care, essential oils, skin cream and hand creams… Various beauty products which often come in the form of a box and which are also better organic and very interesting in many respects.

Organic cosmetic products

A cosmetic product is organic when it is composed of at least 95% natural active ingredients and is of plant origin , with the exception of the use of milk and honey. Choosing an organic beauty product means avoiding chemicals that are bad for our skin, our body and our health.

Respect plays a big role in well-being. Respect for oneself, one's body, one's skin; respect for the planet and the environment by fighting against the use of chemical substances. But also respect for the animal world, by ensuring that the cosmetics are of plant origin and that they have not been tested on animals.

All of this contributes to the well-being felt on a personal scale, by the individual, but also to a greater one that would be social and collective.

In addition, organic cosmetics offer the advantage of being more nutritious . An organic cream for the skin, for the face or for the hands is more nutritious and moisturizes better than the traditional creams sold in the world of mass distribution. It provides essential vitamins, antioxidants and amino acids necessary for our health.

Organic creams and shampoos

These creams are added to a wide range of organic products for the skin, hair or body that we find more and more in stores. We can for example mention the essential Marseille soap. Choosing an organic Marseille soap means benefiting from the benefits of an authentic soap made from oils from Provence . Marseille soap is in fact mainly composed of olive oil. This is what gives it its green to brown color. These natural soaps from Provence cleanse and purify the skin but can also be used for other treatments, such as hair.

There is also a wide range of organic shampoos . Organic shampoos offer the advantage of washing the hair in a softer and more respectful way. They also do not contain harmful products, such as sulphate, which damages the hair and slows down its growth. These shampoos therefore have the virtue of preserving the quality of the hair , but the emergence of solid care also has another effect which tends to ensure well-being and harmony thought out more on a collective and social scale.

Indeed, solid organic care offers the advantage of being more economical and ecological . It is possible to buy them in detail or wholesale in stores or online, but you can also make them yourself. Solid organic care products, such as soap or shampoo, are a more ecological alternative to liquid products. They have less packaging and additionally made from recyclable or compostable materials.

So, in addition to being better for your skin, your body and your hair, organic beauty products help to respect biodiversity and preserve the environment.

Organic essential oils

But organic skincare and beauty products are not the only ones that promote well-being and have certain health benefits. Essential oils and organic vegetable oils also participate. These oils , which are also often found in boxes, offer many virtues , especially for the face and body. Essential oils give off odors which have so-called "aromacological" effects , which have an influence on the nervous system and promote the feeling of calm and relaxation. They therefore help to promote well-being.

Vegetable oils , on the other hand, all have their own benefits. Castor oil, for example, is excellent for improving the overall condition of the skin by reducing acne and fighting against the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Grape seed oil plays a major role in nourishing the skin and hair. It has the advantage of being rich in antioxidants which means that it helps to slow down skin aging and is a perfect anti-aging ally . This oil can also be applied to the hair to give it vigor and shine.

All these organic alternatives make it possible to promote a good relationship with oneself and with the world , by making it possible to offer one 's body and one 's skin organic products which are good for us while participating in the respect of nature and the preservation of the environment.

Often, the quest for well-being begins with small, simple gestures that can be applied on a daily basis. For example, it may be a question of eliminating from your diet products sold in quantity in supermarkets but which are actually bad for our health and harmful to the environment. This can for example go through the choice to move towards a vegetable alternative in order to avoid consuming cow's milk. Indeed, milk generally contains a certain number of hormones which can disturb our own hormones and thus alter the quality of our skin. There are many other drinks such as soy, for example, which is a good natural and vegetable alternative to cow's milk.

Spirulina: an algae with antiviral, antiallergic and anti-inflammatory benefits

There are actually many different possibilities and varieties , but they are not necessarily known to everyone. This is for example the case of spirulina. Spirulina is an algae that contains a lot of antioxidants and has antiviral, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory benefits . Spirulina helps fight against the formation of cancer cells . Spirulina can also be consumed for food, that is to say it can be eaten, but it can also be used in care.  Indeed, spirulina would have the virtue, when applied as a treatment or mask, to deeply moisturize the skin and tighten the pores . This gives it a strong purifying and detoxifying power that helps fight against skin imperfections and acne problems. These examples show that another consumption is possible and available. A healthier, more natural diet, more respectful of the environment and the plant world. These changes will make everyone feel better and promote well-being.

Organic vegetables & aromatic herbs

You can easily have organic fruits, vegetables and aromatic plants in quantity and throughout the year.

Our ambition is to contribute on our scale to the well-being of all. That's why we want to make the gardening adventure easy and accessible to everyone . For the benefits of gardening ; because this activity can restore energy and bring vitality and helps to develop feelings of calm and relaxation . Indeed, studies have shown that working the land and being in contact with soil helps regulate serotonin, a neurotransmitter that fights against stress and depression.

But also for all the benefits that the fruits, vegetables and organic aromatic herbs that you can grow in an indoor vegetable patch will give you .

This is why we have developed Cultivation Clods that allow you to cultivate at home without a bag of soil and with great ease throughout the year.

We have chosen cork for the manufacture of these Pots, because it is one of the most ecological materials. Indeed, our cork comes from cork oak harvested in France. Cork is a natural, recyclable and biodegradable material. The choice of cork also corresponds to our desire to support a sustainable and local economy, for greater social and national well-being. This is why we collaborate with French craftsmen and want to promote their know-how and skills.
