It seems as if every few months there’s a new all-star ingredient that’s labeled as the next cure-all: coconut oil, jojoba oil, hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid, and a whole list of “superfoods” that will help make our skin, hair and nails beautiful. At John Masters Organics we know that the rare and exotic plants we use for our formulas are not just for the eye-catching name or media hype –– we choose our ingredients specifically for their efficacy and benefits. The neroli flower is the hero ingredient in our fan-favorite Conditioner for Normal Hair with Citrus & Neroli. But besides its sweet and citrusy scent, what else does it contribute to this hair-balancing formula?   What is neroli flower? Neroli flower oil is distilled from the precious white blossoms of the bitter orange tree native to eastern Africa and tropical Asia. Its sweet, floral-citrus note makes it extremely popular for perfumes and essential oil blends.   Benefits of neroli flower oil: Improves skin             Neroli oil increases the skin’s absorption of anti-aging vitamin C. Vitamin C helps fight off wrinkles, fine lines and lighten the appearance of dark spots. Neroli’s natural antiseptic properties can also be beneficial for acne-prone skin.   Soothes the scalp             Because of its naturally soothing and cleansing properties, neroli oil can help alleviate flakes and itchiness caused by dryness and dandruff.   Sebum balancing             Scalps that overproduce or underproduce natural oils will benefit from neroli’s natural sebum-balancing properties and lightweight conditioning.   Uplifting scent             Like a big glass of orange juice, the refreshingly citrus notes of neroli can instantly uplift moods by relaxing the mind, soothing stressors –– it can even help alleviate headaches.    

As more people seek healthier and environmentally conscious options, navigating the transition to natural, clean haircare has become a priority. Clean haircare isn't just a trend; it's a commitment to overall well-being. Traditional haircare products often contain a blend of harsh chemicals, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances that can strip the hair of its natural oils, leading to issues such as dryness, breakage, and scalp irritation. In this blog, we'll explore practical tips for seamlessly transitioning from conventional haircare products to natural, clean haircare. Start Gradually: Transitioning to natural, clean haircare doesn't have to be abrupt. We recommend gradually introducing cleaner products into your routine to allow your hair to adjust. Start with one core product, such as shampoo and conditioner. Clarifying Treatment: Use a clarifying treatment before making the switch to remove any product buildup. This will help your hair better absorb the benefits of clean ingredients. Try our Scalp Stimulating Shampoo. Remember Patience is Key: Transitioning to a cleaner haircare routine requires patience. Your hair may take time to adapt as it undergoes a natural detoxification process allowing your locks to gradually acclimate to the nourishing benefits of natural, clean ingredients. Stay Consistent: Every hair type is unique. Tailor your haircare routine based on your hair needs, whether it's adding more moisture, addressing scalp concerns, or enhancing natural curls. Once you find a product that works for your hair, stick with it and maintain a consistent routine for the best results. By understanding the importance of natural, clean ingredients and implementing practical tips for a seamless transition, you can promote healthier hair and a healthier you while contributing to a cleaner and greener planet.

The presence of bees is essential for the establishment of diverse and healthy ecosystems on a global scale. Across the globe, there are more than 20,000 distinct species of bees that inhabit diverse habitats.   Regrettably, a significant portion of our society has prioritized the elimination of these pollinators from our gardens through the use of pesticides and harmful chemicals.   In what way do bees contribute to the balance of the ecosystem? Bees hold the vital role of a keystone species in the ecosystem, and the decline of bees would have a catastrophic impact on the majority of life forms. Many animals depend on bees as their survival hinges on the pollination of their food sources, such as nuts, berries, seeds, and fruits.   Here are some ways you can help #savethebees in your own community: 1. Plant Bee-Friendly Gardens: Create a bee-friendly habitat by planting native flowers, herbs, and shrubs that provide nectar and pollen for bees. Avoid using pesticides and herbicides in your garden to protect bees from harmful chemicals. 2. Support Local Beekeepers: Buy locally produced honey and other bee products, supporting beekeepers in your community. This helps sustain beekeeping practices and supports the health and well-being of bees. 3. Support Pollinator-Friendly Agriculture: GO ORGANIC! Purchase organic and locally produced fruits, vegetables, and other food products that are grown using pollinator-friendly practices. This encourages sustainable farming methods that prioritize the well-being of bees and other pollinators. 4. Create Water Sources: Bees need water to stay hydrated. Provide shallow water sources in your garden, such as a shallow dish with rocks for bees to land on and drink safely. 5. Engage Your Community: Organize workshops, seminars, or community events to educate others about bees and their conservation. Encourage schools, local businesses, and community groups to join the efforts to save the bees. Together, we can make a significant impact in protecting these crucial pollinators. 6. Avoid Using Chemicals: Minimize or eliminate the use of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides in your yard and garden. These chemicals can be harmful to bees and other pollinators. Instead, explore organic and natural alternatives for pest control.   The need to protect bees and other pollinators is a shared responsibility. By spreading awareness about their crucial role, we can ignite a movement to save them and secure a healthy ecosystem for all.

The amazing liquid multivitamin for hair, skin, and nails known as argan oil is aptly and commonly dubbed “liquid gold” in the beauty world. Sourced from the little brown nut of the –– you guessed it –– Argan tree that is native to Southwestern Morocco, it can take days to cold-press just a liter of the precious and nutrient-rich oil. Argan oil is packed with essential fatty acids, age-fighting antioxidants, must-have minerals, and deeply nourishing vitamins A and E. On the hair argan oil smooths split ends, tames frizz, and conditions strands from root to tip without weighing hair down. Pressing pure argan oil into bare skin protects complexions from sun damage, pollution, dryness and signs of aging without feeling greasy. Nails grow strong and cuticles are smoothed and soft when this lightweight oil is used on the hands. Try adding a few drops of argan oil to a bath and be amazed by how luxuriously nourished skin feels when you get out and wrap yourself in a towel. While argan oil’s rise in popularity has made it more accessible to consumers, it has also led to an array of imposters and diluted formulas on the market that are cheapened with filler ingredients such as silicones, artificial preservatives, dyes, fragrances, and other oils. Our single-ingredient 100% Argan Oil is not only pure and cold-pressed to maintain its nutrients and benefits, but it’s also USDA-certified organic so you can feel confident you’re only putting the best on your body. If you’re looking to simplify your beauty routine and free up space in your cabinet, argan oil can become your multi-tasking wonder elixir that nourishes from head to toe.
