The Beauty of Nature: Understanding Color Variations in Our Skincare Products

At Flourish, we take pride in crafting 100% natural skincare products that are as effective as they are clean and gentle. You may have noticed that the color of some of our products can vary from batch to batch or even change over time. This natural color shift is a testament to the purity of our ingredients and the artisanal care that goes into every product.

Why Do Colors Appear Different?

Our commitment to natural, filler-free formulations means that the colors you see in our products come straight from nature. Here's why you might notice some variations:

1. No Artificial Stabilizers
   We avoid synthetic color stabilizers, which can keep colors uniform but are often harsh on the skin. The natural pigments from botanicals can shift slightly with time or exposure to light, showcasing their natural origin.

2. Diverse Sourcing
   We source our ingredients from small farms, when possible in Vermont, where growing conditions can vary. Each batch of botanicals might have subtle differences in color depending on the season, soil, and weather.

3. Harvest and Growing Conditions
   Just as no two flowers are exactly alike, the color of our ingredients can fluctuate based on when and where they're harvested. This variation is a beautiful reminder of the natural cycles of growth and renewal.

4. Artisanal, Small Batch Production
   Every product we create is made in small batches, ensuring quality and attention to detail. This artisanal process means that slight color differences are not only normal but a sign of the care and craftsmanship behind each item.

How to Care for Your Natural Skincare

To ensure your products remain as fresh and effective as possible, follow these simple tips:

1. Seal Tightly
   Always close lids securely after each use to prevent contamination and maintain freshness.

2. Store Properly
   Keep your products in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat, which can accelerate color changes.

3. Handle with Clean Hands
   Using clean hands or a spatula helps prevent introducing bacteria into your skincare.

4. Avoid Adding Water
   Never add water directly into your product containers, as this can dilute the formula and introduce bacteria.

Quality and Efficacy

While the colors may vary, rest assured that the quality and effectiveness of our products remain consistent. Our formulas are designed to nourish and care for your skin, with each ingredient chosen for its unique benefits. The natural color variations are simply a reflection of the rich diversity of the natural world.

Embrace the Shift

At Flourish, we celebrate the beauty of nature's variability. These color changes are a sign of our dedication to using only the highest-quality, natural ingredients. So the next time you notice a slight difference in the shade of your favorite product, know that it's nature's way of showing its true colors.
