Check your labels!

Now that the new VCare generation has been launched, everyone is so eager to know about the new range. And more reasons to convert our daily personal care products to the refreshing 'green' series! Why should we stash away our current shampoos, toothpaste, shower gel and facial wash (if it's not already VCare!)? WHY NOT?

The brand new Greenzhi may look like a normal toothpaste but it has more functions than you can imagine. That is why it is labeled as 'toothgel' instead. Ever heard of any toothpaste that can be swallowed (on purpose-especially for sore throat)? This is because it is calcium- & flouride- free. Also, doubt-no-more, as the new Greenzhi is now certified Halal by JAKIM. Now with Neem extract, you can say goodbye to yellow teeth, bleeding gums and bad breath. And with Aloe Barbadensis, it's no wonder why Greenzhi is the best 'paste' to be applied on open wounds (stop the bleeding almost instantly) / burns (no more blister) for rapid healing!

-- From my personal experience, I've received great comments from my dentist for not having any cavities/damages on any of my teeth through out my pregnancy so far (am entering 3rd trimester now, Alhamdulillah). It also worked well on my ulcers/skin burns and recent wound (hurt myself which ripped slight of my skin-nyummy). It's all-healed now! :) --

DIMETHICONE

All TV commercials on hair-care products seem to share the intention of selling the consumers one same point : "Your tresses will become smooth and feel soft after using". Have you ever wondered what does this imply? The answer is : the inclusion of a special type of silicone called Dimethicone.

Why is Dimethicone needed in a hair-care product? This is because when Dimethicone gets in touch with the hair, it will fill up the gaps in between the cuticle scales of the hair, hence making the tresses smooth to touch, prompting the user to feel an instant enhancement in the hair texture. Actually, as Dimethicone is not soluble in water, it cannot be completely washed away through shampooing. When layer upon layer of Dimethicone built up over time, they cause the hair-shafts to thicken, leading to the loss of hair resilience and even blockage of the hair follicles in the scalp.

This suffocating effect will eventually bring about the gradual shrinkage of the hair papilla, resulting in problems such as itchiness in the scalp and sequela such as hair thinning and hair loss.

The claims made for body lotions and shower gels on 'retaining moisture' also was actually by having a layer formed by Dimethicone (or other Silicone-based ingredient) on the skin so that water from our body is blocked from coming out. For my Muslim friends, imagine this non-water-soluble film being layered on your skin & hair - How would our Ghusl (mandi wajib) be accepted? Wallahualam.

Fret-no-more as our new VCare series perform deep cleansing for healthier scalp & tresses without the existence of the culprit - Dimethicone!

The pursuit for youthful and healthy complexion is undoubtedly something you and I share in common. Indeed, radiant and dewy-moist skin not only add the plus factor to our demeanour but also makes us look much younger than our actual age.

It goes without saying that the first important step in preserving healthy skin is cleansing. As the exposed parts of our skin are subject to external agitations, they become vulnerable to contamination by the airborne dust, in addition to the burden from our own sweat, excessive sebaceous activities, residual traces of make-up, and the build-up of aged cutin produced as a form metabolic waste. In the event that these contaminants are not thoroughly removed, they will bring about clogging of the pores and the cropping up of such skin problems such as acne, pimples and blackheads. Worse yet, the clogged pores will adversely affect the absorption of nutrients supplied by skincare products, making our efforts to restore a radiant skin even more complex. In other words, in the absence of a good cleansing routine, all other skincare steps to follow will be as good as to no avail. It can thus be seen that taking care of the cleansing and moisturizing aspects are the one and only way to own healthy complexion.

And did I mention that all our skincare and personal care products are 99% natural? This means they are safe for you & even your young ones. Try beat that with any commercial products which can offer the same benefits of the highly technology and researched ingredients! Drop me a message to know more about these products or better still, try them today and feel it for yourself!
