At Organic Potions, we prioritize the use of high-quality, plant-based ingredients in our products. To ensure the best possible results, we prioritize sourcing ingredients that are grown using organic farming practices. Every ingredient that starts as a seed in our products is certified organic. In addition to organic ingredients, we also carefully select ingredients that are wild-harvested and biodynamic. While some cosmetic ingredients, such as clays, vitamin C, and vitamin E, cannot be certified organic, we use non-GMO, plant-based vitamin E in our products and never exceed a 1% concentration in our formulas

Organic Potions products are never tested on animals and are cruelty free, and our packaging carries the P.E.T.A logo.

At Organic Potions, we take pride in our commitment to creating the highest quality organic skincare products. We source our ingredients from the finest artisan distilleries in Morocco, Europe, and beyond. When it comes to natural skincare, quality is key to achieving results. We don't prioritize superficial elements like scent and color, but rather focus on using time-honored, science-backed botanicals that have been proven to provide powerful skin benefits. Our formulas draw from the wisdom of ancient skincare practices like herbalism and aromatherapy, as well as modern cosmetic science

Yes. Most of our facial serums have a very light scent that disappears quickly. This is due to the small amount of skin-beneficial, non-photosensitizing essential oils (EOs) we include in our formula. Although some people may find the scent of essential oils appealing, we believe it's important to use them sparingly in skin care products. Using too many products with high concentrations of essential oils or using essential oils that are not suitable for facial skin can lead to negative reactions or sensitivity. We encourage you to be mindful of the products you use and avoid those with strong scents, as these are often formulated with high concentrations of essential oils that may not be safe for daily use on the delicate skin of the face.

No, we do not use artificial fragrances in our skin care products. We believe that artificial fragrances have no benefit for the skin and can even be harmful. Many of our natural ingredients have their own scents, as intended by nature. We prefer to use these ingredients rather than artificial fragrances

At Organics Potions, we only use natural or organic essential oils to scent our products, never artificial or synthetic fragrances. Essential oils have been used for centuries to fragrance the skin and are a key ingredient in many natural or organic skin and body care products. We blend essential oils into our products for both their aromatherapy benefits and their specific skin benefits. We use these oils in very small amounts to avoid overwhelming the senses or causing irritation. Therefore, we do not need to use any synthetic fragrances in our products.

In the world of skincare, the term "high-quality" is a common buzzword that is often used to justify premium pricing or to differentiate one brand from another. However, it's important to exercise caution when evaluating such claims about the quality of skincare products. While many skincare lines use the "high-quality" label to tout their products, the truth is that the term is unregulated and may not always reflect the actual formula inside the bottle. In fact, it's not uncommon for brands to invest heavily in marketing, packaging, and aesthetics, while neglecting the quality of their ingredients.

When it comes to natural skincare products, the effectiveness of the formula is largely determined by the quality of the ingredients used. There are several factors that can impact the quality of an ingredient, including how and where it was grown, whether it was subjected to conventional or organic farming practices, and how it was processed. Additionally, the freshness of the ingredients is also an important factor, as it can affect their ability to deliver nutrients and antioxidants to the skin.

Just like the food we eat, natural ingredients such as botanical oils and plant extracts are rich in essential nutrients and antioxidants that can nourish and protect the skin. However, the quality of these ingredients is crucial to the effectiveness of natural skincare products. Because natural formulas rely on the nutrients and antioxidants in each ingredient to provide benefits, the quality of the ingredient is directly related to its impact on the skin. Therefore, choosing products with high-quality ingredients is essential to ensuring that natural skincare products deliver the desired results

It's normal for there to be slight variations in scent, color, and texture from batch to batch. This is because no two harvests are exactly the same, and the raw materials used to produce our botanical oils, extracts, essential oils, and hydrosols may vary. We encourage you to embrace the natural variations that come from using ingredients from nature.

Yes, all of our formulas are gentle and can be used in combination with other intensive skincare products like retinol, Vitamin C, and exfoliating acids. Our oil-based facial serums are particularly compatible with these treatments and should be applied as one of the last steps in your routine. However, we do not recommend using our exfoliant or masks on the same day as other intensive treatments, as this may lead to skin sensitivity or negative reactions.

Absolutely. We design all of our skincare products based on skin type, not gender. Our products are suitable for everyone, regardless of whether they identify as male or female. We're happy to say that we have many male customers who have experienced great results with our skincare products. We believe that everyone deserves high-quality skincare that is tailored to their unique needs and preference
