Q: Are your products "All Natural"?

A: This is such a loaded question and the simple answer is No, we do not consider our products to be considered "all natural".

The longer more in depth answer is that the term "all natural" is a marketing buzzword that is not regulated by any governing body. Understanding cosmetic ingredients is a confusing path to follow as there are so many different directions and marketers use these terms to convince you to think it means safe. 

In cosmetic chemistry/manufacturing there are synthetically produced "nature-identical" ingredient. This means that these substances are, from a molecular point of view, exactly the same as if they were derived from a natural source but chemically produced in a lab. So are they natural? Sorry but we can't answer that.

There are times you will see a company claim to be 90 something percent natural. Okay, what's the other 10 or so percent? What's the threshold? It really all comes down to marketing and how they can bend the truth to talk you out of your hard earned money. 

Keep in mind "natural" doesn't always mean "safe". There are many Essential oils that if applied at 100% strength to the skin are quite harmful. We recently received a letter from Health Canada warning of the potential risk of kids ingesting Eucalyptus essential oils.

Because of all these games and confusion around buzzwords, we find it much more acceptable to focus on product safety. This is why Hillside Groom Company focuses on safe ingredients sourced from large reputable suppliers. We know where our ingredients come from, we know our ingredients have a long track record for being safe, our products are registered with Health Canada and we use our products ourselves daily. 

Q: Are your fragrance oils skin safe? 

A: Yes, all fragrance oils we use are skin safe and Paraben and Phthalate Free.

Q: Are your products Vegan?

A: They actually are! Early on we decided if we can make the products without animal derived products then why not? We love animals!

Q: Are your products tested on Animals?

A: Never! We only test on Humans.
