Philosophy: Organic Blue simply aims to care and inspire. Its idea of wellbeing extends to health of the mind as well as the physical body, while drawing the best from traditions around the world. Organic Blue is name that people are able to trust, with confidence, to offer natural products and services that are free from unnecessary ingredients, which maximise the use of certified organic ingredients and are presented in a classic yet simple style.
History and Origin: Organic Blue began in 1999, when its founder Ashwin Mehta, discovered that it was impossible to find truly natural body care that had sufficient range, quality ingredients or met with his personal beliefs. Ashwin is from an Indian family, although he was raised in the UK and is a true fusion of East and West. His family has a strong tradition of Jainism, an ancient Indian philosophy based on respect for all life, including animals. This is why the Organic Blue range is careful to make products free from animal ingredients, which are suitable for Vegans. During his childhood, Ashwin’s Mother and Grandmother’s home medicine cabinets were also filled with Indian herbs to make ayurvedic recipes to help with family ailments and this influenced the choice of traditional Indian ingredients such as Neem in the Organic Blue range.
Why We Chose Them: One of the common misconceptions about natural and organic products is that they are expensive. Organic Blue is a perfect example of a brand that demonstrates that it is perfectly possible to find truly natural products without the ingredients that we wish to avoid without breaking the bank. Organic Blue products are great value and highly effective. They are free from SLS, parabens, petroleum based oils, artificial colouring and synthetic fragrances. They cleanse, moisturise and nourish the body, uplift, stimulate and soothe the senses, refresh and inspire the mind. The Organic Blue brand represents exceptional organic quality at excellent prices for those wishing to pursue a more natural lifestyle - all presented in stunning yet simple packaging.
Who Would Like Them? Anyone looking for good value natural body care with ingredients they can trust, or ready blended organic aromatherapy products will love the Organic Blue range.
Certifications: All of the products are registered with the Vegan Society, and the Massage Oils and Mood Blends are certified organic by the Soil Association. The Men’s range and Body care range do not have any independent certification but they do use organic ingredients and are completely free from parabens, sls, mineral oil, synthetic colour or fragrance.
Personal / Press Recommendations: Stuart (our Chief Operating Officer) says “I would recommend Organic Blue as a great introductory range to anyone just starting out on an organic lifestyle. The products are great value and have a pleasant fragrance that the whole family will love. The Men’s hair and body wash is a good general shampoo for everyday use.” January 2010
