OUR OILS, BUTTERS, & WAXES:

We use only pure, non-synthetic plant oils, butters, & waxes. On rare occasion, we may use a naturally refined ingredient for certain consistencies, BUT we make sure the process is only done through water refining or natural filtering using diatomaceous earth (or the like), with NO toxic chemical refining or processing.

OUR SCENTS/FRAGRANCES:

We only use herbs, oils, & plant extracts, or the natural scent of the actual ingredient itself (such as cocoa butter) to sent our products. We do not use any artificial fragrances.

OUR FLAVORS:

We only use herbs, oils, & plant extracts, or the natural taste of the actual ingredient itself (such as mint leaf) which naturally flavors our products. We do not use any artificial flavorings.

OUR COLORS:

We only use pure, plant or mineral based liquids & powders to color our products. We do not use any artificial colors.  

OUR OTHER INGREDIENTS:

We use only pure ingredients. We do not use any artificial or toxic ingredients. If we ever find that an ingredient is questionable or detrimintal after we've begun using it, we will STOP its use & find other alternatives immediately.

The only way our ingredients would be detrimental to someone, is if the person is allergic or sensitive to a particular ingredient. Please be responsible & read labels before using, since they may change once in a while, as we continually improve our formulations... If you have any questions about ingredients, please email us (hello@thelittlehomesteadco) or fill out the contact form.

DO WE USE PRESERVATIVES?

We do not use artificial or synthetic preservatives in our products. Some of our ingredients (such as herbs & essential oils) already provide varying levels of natural preservation, and oil/powder based products (which most of ours are), do not require additional preservatives.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Because we do not use added preservatives, please DO NOT allow water to get in your containers. This will prevent mold & microbes from forming & ruining your product. If water does get in your jars, keep the lid off to dry out. If fuzzies do form, please replace your jar.

With the exception of a very few cases, companies that use water-based products without a natural or synthetic preservative are RISKING YOUR HEALTH.

Due to the pure & non-toxic philosophy we embrace, we are VERY selective in, & conscious of our suppliers & the ingredients we use.

We are pleased to announce, that if & when we choose to make any water-based or other products that need to be additionally preserved, we will be working with a company called Active Micro Technologies, that manufactures natural preservatives using plant ferments that are FREE of GMO's, synthetics, & toxic chemicals!

  • The preservatives we will use (if any), are made from ferments of Radish Root, Black Currants, Aspen Bark, Kimchii, Elderberry, Coconut, Lactobacillus.

  • They are GMO Free with NO Ethoxylation, NO Irradiation, NO Sulphonation, NO Ethylene Oxide treatment, NO Hydrogenation, NO Preservatives, NO Additives, & NO Solvents.

*A statement was made a while back about a "study" conducted by a competitor of Active Micro Technologies, who aimed to damage their reputation. When we inquired, however, AMT responded to the claims & communicated with us directly. Due to their response, we are confident that the competitor claims were 100% false. If you would like access to that information, please reach out to www.activemicrotechnologies.com & they will be happy to provide you with more information.
