After a long, hard battle, the European Union was due to be free of all new animal tested cosmetics by 2013.But now this could be delayed by up to 10 years. This is simply not acceptable!

Say NO to animal suffering.

Say NO to cruel cosmetics in Europe.

For over 20 years biOrganics has supplied salons throughout the UK with its premier range of the finest quality natural hair products.

All of our natural hair products contain no artificial colours or fragrances, being both SLS (Sodium lauryl sulfate) and Cruelty Free. Our products are totally suitable for vegans and vegetarians and we never use products tested on animals. You will see that each bottle displays both the Vegetarian Society and BUAV logos. biOrganics is the only professional salon brand to carry such important endorsements and these, along with approval from both the RSPCA and Beauty Without Cruelty Charity, are your absolute guarantees of purity and quality.

Completely natural, the main active ingredients in biOrganics products are Herbs, Essential Oils, Vitamins, Minerals, Trace Elements and Vegetable Protein, all of which are vitally important to keep your hair in peak condition.

biOrganics hair products are very relevant in an age where ethical concerns and giving back to the systems which support this planet are important to all of us.

So what are the essential ingredients which make our products so special?

Proteins

biOrganics products are formulated from a unique vegetable protein which is absorbed directly into the hair shaft. During use, when the hair has absorbed all the necessary nutrients it requires from the product, all residue is then rinsed away leaving the hair clean, nutritiously balanced and free from build-up.

Apart from the ethical question of using animal based proteins in hair products (nails, hair, bone etc), there are further problems caused by these substances ‘breaking down’ into fatty acids directly onto the hair. This causes a reaction with oxygen in the air making the hair heavy and lifeless.

Minerals
Minerals play an essential part in the nutrition of the body and are divided into two main groups ‘Major Minerals’ and ‘Trace Elements’. Minerals and Trace Elements occur from natural dietary sources, such as nuts, whole cereals and vegetables. Their use in the biOrganics range is to provide a naturally balanced formula, designed to leave the hair perfectly nourished and a picture of health.

Herbs and Essential Oils
Herbs and Essential Oils are concentrated, aromatic compounds located in the glands or cells of the plant. The oils themselves are composed of many different and varied constituents and are extracted from the leaves, seeds or flowers and sometimes from woods and resins. The same oils are used in Aromatherapy. We use the Herbs and Essential Oils that are reputed to have the greatest beneficial effects on both the hair and scalp.

Cruelty Free Products

BiOrganic Hair Therapy is the only professional hair care brand which presently features both the BUAV and The Vegetarian Society logos on their packaging, which together with a complete list of product ingredients means that both you and your clients can be sure of the products you use.

In the past few years the awareness of environmental and animal rights issues has grown considerably Almost every company claims that their products are cruelty free, not tested on animals and safe to the environment.

Although many companies genuinely do not test on animals directly, the ingredients they use may have been tested on animals by an independent laboratory on their behalf Many companies also use animal derived ingredients in their products in the form of animal proteins, fragrances or colourants.

Companies are not obliged to label their products with ingredient details, so you don’t have access to the information that will let you make a truly cruelty free decision. Now however, by looking for the symbols of the following organisations, you can be sure that you are using cruelty free products from companies with a positive policy of cruelty free manufacture.

The BUAV

(British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection) was founded in 1898 to oppose all animal experiments The BUAV has created the ‘Not Tested on Animals’ product logo This may only be used under licence by companies whose products and ingredients have been free from animal testing for a period of 5 years, either by the manufacturer, their supplier or on behalf of either party.

THE VEGETARIAN SOCIETY

As with the BUAV, The Vegetarian Society has set similar strict standards for manufacturers to adhere to. Product ingredients are investigated thoroughly before their symbol is awarded. Products displaying The Vegetarian Society’s ‘V’ symbol are the only ones that the Society can guarantee contain no animal bi-products whatsoever.

BiOrganic Hair Therapy have gone one step further than the requirements of the BUAV and the Vegetarian Society In over twenty years of creating formulae, neither our ingredients or finished products have ever been tested on animals.
