[toggle title_open=”Is Elixir Fusion organic?” title_closed=”Is Elixir Fusion organic?” hide=”yes” border=”yes” style=”white” excerpt_length=”0″ read_more_text=”Read More” read_less_text=”Read Less” include_excerpt_html=”no”]Elixir Fusion is not 100% an organic product as this would not make it a cost effective product. We use quality ingredients in our bases (vegetable based products only) and our oils are all natural (without being diluted). The word ‘organic’ is hugely misunderstood and abused. Many products claim to be organic without actually paying attention to the journey of where all their raw materials have come from. Elixir Fusion’s products are naturally driven using quality ingredients with integrity.[/toggle]

The parabens we have used in this cream successfully keep it stable and therefore do not want to make changes to these cream.[/toggle]

It also makes your products last longer due to the hydrating and balancing it offers allows you to use less product after toning.[/toggle]

Elixir Fusion products work best when combined with Elixir Fusion products as the philosophy behind these products are to the essentials oils to stimulate your skin to do the work in creating balance rather than relying solely on the products to do the job. As they are very gentle products they will not interfere with other products used however if one’s skin becomes out of balance it makes it harder to investigate what the problem is when you are combining a range of different products with different philosophies. Be ware of using too many different creams on your skin at the same time as you can confuse your skin unless you are very aware of the philosophy and action behind each cream that you are using.
