Review: Dr. Organic Products

As the name suggests, Dr. Organic products are a range of organic skincare products that are free from SLS, parabens, perfermes, artifical fragrances, petroleum and paraffin. I’m quite health-conscious and I read the label on all products before I buy. While in a Healthy U store recently, I came across these line of products and of course, my interest peaked. I went home & did some research on the line, liked what I saw, and gathered my coins to go buy them. I’ve been using them for about 2.5 weeks and so far, no complaints whatsoever.

The first thing I put in my cart was the deodorant. I’d wanted to switch to a brand without all those nasty ingredients but didn’t bother looking for one, thinking no-one would bother stocking it. The ingredients in Antiperspirants, particularly Aluminum, have been linked to breast cancer. Although there isn’t conclusive evidence, I’d still rather not take the risk. There are enough sources of cancer in our environment as it is so I’d rather keep my hygiene products as natural as possible. This deodorant won’t stop you from sweating because it’s not an antiperspirant. Sweat is 99% water and it only smells when exposed to bacteria outside the body. That’s where the job of deodorant comes in. It eliminates any potential odor. The first few days of using it, I kept asking my friends to smell me and tell me if I was reeking of body odor. Luckily, I wasn’t. It has a mild smell that’s fresh and didn’t interfere with my perfume. The liquid cream roll is is applied just like regular roll on and I recommend you apply it immediately after your shower, before oiling and dressing, so you can give it time to dry

I recently started Oil pulling (<—please watch this) every morning with Extra Virgin Coconut oil. It’s the first step I took towards a healthy oral routine it was only natural that I follow with another natural product! I’ve had bleeding gums on and off and since I was a kid, my dentist made me use some horrible toothpaste called Paradontax. Even though it worked, I seriously hated everything about it! Since I started this routine, I haven’t bled even once and it’s been almost 3 weeks! The toothpaste has a pleasant taste, a nice texture, and although it doesn’t foam as much as regular toothpaste, my teeth and mouth feel really clean and it leaves my breath fresh

Their shampoo also comes without the nasty stuff. I’ve been using regular shampoos since I started growing my hair back after the Mohawk I did 2 years back, coz I couldn’t find Sulphate and paraben-free ones anywhere. I hated shampoo days as my already dry hair always felt even more dry and stripped afterwards. I’m so used to nice smelling shampoos that foam like crazy so I’ll have to get used to this one as it smells just okay and doesn’t foam a lot (due to lack of SLS). It cleaned my hair and scalp well and didn’t leave my hair feeling dry which is what I was looking for. Next time I use it, I’ll put a small amount it in a bottle with a nozzle and mix it with a little water so I don’t end up using as much as I did the first time

Thanks for reading,
