Karen’s Botanicals Ingredient Information Karen is continuously examining the ingredients with which her products are formulated. Companies striving to create effective natural skin and body care products with truly clean ingredients must do continuous research to insure the purity and quality of raw materials. Based on recent research, we have made several changes that we are excited about. We found a new source for certified organic Rosehip Seed Oil. The quality of this oil is remarkable. It is used in our Enriching Rosehip Night Cream because it is so valuable for treating mature or damaged skin. You will notice a deeper golden color in this cream now, and it will be even more effective for skincare. We are now using only Mixed Tocopherols in the form of Tocobiol, a non-GMO certified form of Vitamin E Oil. Grapefruit Seed Extract has long been eliminated from all of our products. This is due to ongoing controversy about the material. Studies show that many of the available GSE products are not pure. As we cannot be absolutely certain, we have discontinued the use of GSE. In our creams, oil extracts of Goldenseal and Cinnamon bark have been replaced with gentler essential oils. Paba ester is no longer used in Lovely lavender Cream. All of our beeswax is now certified organic, as is any lecithin we use. Benzoin Gum is used in Melissa Rose and Fennel Sage Facial Toners for its soothing and healing properties. Careful research indicates that most commercially available Benzoin gums may be extracted with synthetic solvents. We are now formulating our own Benzoin extract with certified organic grain alcohol. We now use only specially denatured, certified organic grain alcohol for making extracts. Karen has endorsed the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, The Truth in Labeling Pledge, and the Coming Clean Campaign. Please see more about these programs through links on left. A note about product labels: While it is easy to update website information, labels and printed material take more time. Some orders will arrive with updated ingredient information printed on a separate label or enclosure.
