Why Indigo

Wild, Organic, Excipient-Free, Eco-Friendly,
Artisanal and Handmade Natural Bodycare

Wild and Organic

Conventional farming practices allow for the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and/or synthetic pesticides and herbicides. Long-term accumulation of such toxins may lead to chronic illness. All our base materials used to create blends are either organic or wild-crafted.

Excipient-Free

All our products are excipient free. Excipients are also known as binders or fillers and may be toxic. In one study, the EWG (Environmental Working Group) detected 287 chemicals in umbilical cord blood of newborns, 217 of which may be toxic to the brain and nervous system, 208 of which may cause birth defects and 180 of which are associated to cancer.¹ Most commercially sold bodycare products contain excipients. Producers claim that at low levels, these excipients may not be harmful to the human body. Yet the average individual does not only use one bodycare product (shampoos, conditioners, moisturizers, lip balm, cosmetics, sun care, after shaves, perfumes, etc.), thus the growing concern from many discerning individuals is that the accumulation of such toxins leads to risks that are not necessary. Every ingredient we use has purpose and adds value to the synergistic blend.

Eco-Friendly

In addition to providing organic products, our bodycare is bottled in glass and where available Miron violet glass to be specific. We avoid the use of plastics as much as possible for both the impact on human health (such as Bisphenol A) and on our planet. We use recycled labels where available. Our goal is to reduce our footprint as much as possible to leave this Earth in a better condition than what we found, for the health of our children and future generations to come.

Artisanal and Handmade with Love

All our products are handmade with Love. We are an artisanal small-scale producer dedicated to providing the finest products to those people that love and respect their bodies and our lovely planet.

Working with nature, understanding
nature, and ultimately playing with
nature to create wild, organic skincare.

Miron Violet Glass

What is it? Why do we use it?

We found the best storage option for the highest quality bodycare to be Miron violet glass. What are the benefits of using Miron glass over other forms of packaging?

First, without turning this section into a dissertation, to illustrate the difference Miron glass makes, it is worth mentioning a few examples of experiments done using Miron glass that you can search and read about yourself.

The Tomato Storage Test

A cherry tomato was stored in white glass and another one in Miron violet glass, then kept at room temperature where sunlight could reach it. After 7 months, the tomato stored in Miron glass showed no loss of colour and no signs of decay or drying out, whereas the tomato stored in white glass showed obvious signs of decay.²

The Spirulina Storage Test

In 1997, the Institute of Dr. D. Knapp tested fresh spirulina tablets from the same batch by storing them in different containers. After 4 weeks, the sample in Miron glass showed a strong and dynamic energy field, while the other samples in amber glass and plastic showed obvious signs of energy loss.²

The Chives Storage Test

Chives were stored for 3 months in several types of glass (white, brown, and violet). After 2 months, the visible quality change was recorded with photographs, and the difference in smell determined in a blind test with volunteers. The chive samples that were exposed to the sun had bleached in brown and white glass. The sample stored in Miron glass showed no colour change and the smell was stronger and fresher.²

In a 2014 article authored by Hugo Niggli, it is stated that “As shown by the history of light, photons participate in most atomic and molecular interactions. Recent biophysical research has measured low light impulses, so-called biophotonic emission, in cells and biological tissue.”³

Miron violet glass is a unique biophotonic glass that naturally filters the spectrum of visible sunlight, only allowing through infrared, violet, and ultraviolet light, which are thought to improve and energise the contents for the benefit of our health.⁴

Miron glass is ideal for natural products with many benefits, such as:

  • energization and revitalisation abilities,
  • preservation of freshness,
  • superior protection from the harmful effects of light, air, and heat, thus preventing decomposition and increasing shelf life.

To conclude, Miron glass is a superior choice as a packaging option.
