Eco-Styled: Fashion-Forward and Planet-Powered

We know what you do. We all do it. We frantically scroll through our Insta, looking for the hottest trends. We scour our Twitter feed, trying to grab the latest giveaways from our favorite brands. Yeah, but what are we really doing? We're following that somebody else said was cool. We're following what somebody else said looked good. We're following somebody else's orders. We don't have the time, or the money, to do this anymore. How about we naturally set our own trends? 

At Seminal Wellness, we are. Through LeLix, and our upcoming products, we're using organic, plant-based materials to make you look, and feel, your best--naturally. Organic materials actually have more durable effects, lasting longer, and providing sustained nourishment, that makes you less reliant on products over time. You're saving money, and helping the planet, at the same time. Here are some of the best ones for becoming eco-styled:

1. Kyounin Yu: Kyounin yu is apricot kernel, a rare ingredient used in finer hair and skin products. Apricot kernel adds long-lasting moisture and softness to your hair. 
2. Hazelnut Oil: Hazelnut oil promotes hair growth, and adds shine. You can use this as a make-up free aid to add a little luster to your look throughout the day.
3. Tamanu Oil: Tamanu oil helps to add body to your hair and strengthens it. It also softens your hair instantly, helping with manageability.
4. Black seed Oil: Black seed oil is a natural antibacterial and antioxidant that optimizes scalp health, which will maximize your growth. You can massage a few drop, or a dollop in, a couple of times a week to give your hair even more nourishment. 
5. Pumpkin Seed Oil: Pumpkin seed oil vitalizes your hair follicles and supports hair thickness, and hair count. Pumpkin seed oil is especially beneficial for damaged hair. You'll see progress just after 2 weeks.

Polyunsaturated fats--including hazelnut oil, safflower oil, and sunflower seed oil--build the infrastructure in your body needed to promote growth, hair growth and skin regeneration, and maintain resilience. Nuts are an excellent source of polyunsaturated fats. Start your day off with almonds or cashews for example, and pack them as snacks, to make polyunsaturated fats a cornerstone of your diet. 

Fashion is also embracing organic ingredients too. More brands are now using natural fibers, such as hemp, with minimal processing. Makeup brands are also integrating natural ingredients, including charcoal, to deliver the right look and healthier skin to customers. And, the public is responding (thanks for your continued support of LeLix). Brands are realizing that natural makes both environmental and business sense.

Know that the best beauty products will always come from the ground, not from the lab. The real treasures always start at the root.
