Natural & Organic Botanicals & Antioxidants: Our products may not always have the most organic ingredients, but we will have the highest content of 100% organic ingredients. Organic ingredients are grown without the use of pesticides and tha’s good, but this does not make them effective. Even certified organic ingredients can’t be grown with extra nutrients delivered directly through the root system as with greenhouse grown hydroponics. That’s why we only use greenhouse grown 100% organic and hydroponic botanicals grown with their roots submerged in a nutrient rich all natural solution. Creating unique highly effective products having a quality difference that’s immediately noticeable the first time you use them.

What Makes Gunilla of Sweden Product Better?

•  Are you paying $20, $30, $40 or more for a bottle of water? If the 1st ingredient on the label is water you just may have. Skin care products that use water as the 1st and main ingredient are mostly made of water, this means less active ingredients and an all around less effective and usually over priced product.

With a price range of only $27 to $40 our products are clearly the most affordable of any professional grade organic skin care line, imported or domestic.

• Our famed LEROSETT® and ÄKTA® skin care products contain 50%-100% of 100% Organic Greenhouse grown pure Hydroponic Botanical ingredients. The concentrated quality of our organic ingredients are immediately noticeable, especially if you have been using normal skin care products that contain water as the 1st and main ingredient. LEROSETT® and ÄKTA® products cost 50% to 400% less than comparable skin care products imported or domestic from Europe or the U.S.

•    Main Ingredients such as our Aloe vera is grown in a “greenhouse” organically without the need for pesticides or herbicides but they are also grown hydroponically, meaning (No-Soil). Main botanical ingredients are grown in a temperature controlled environment with the plant roots submerged in a nutrient rich solution that yields more effective and nutrient rich ingredients.

•  We use a proprietary method that keeps our Aloe vera true whole leaf, not just a carbon-filtered shell of itself, like the Aloe used in most all brands. Our innovative and proprietary processing methods produce strong anti inflammatory, anti bacterial and anti viral skin care products that retain much higher levels on nutrients.

When a company says they are 50% organic they usually mean that 5 out of 10 of the ingredients are organic, only those 5 organic ingredients may only account for 5%-10% of the total organic content. An important aim with claiming that products are organic is to avoid the fact that they use water as the main ingredient; also most products will not inform you of the total percentage of organic ingredients that they contain. By using water as the main ingredient the products cost drops dramatically and thats the goal of most brands.

The #1 ingredient in all Gunilla of Sweden products is our 100% Organic “greenhouse grown” Hydroponic Botanicals. We do use some ingredients that are not 100% organic like safe preservatives or emulsifiers without these ingredients our products would go bad in weeks because the organic content of our products is 50% at the lowest & 100% at the highest like with our LEROSETT Acne Treatment.You will not find a higher content of organic ingredients in any professional grade skin care product, especially in products that use water as the 1st ingredient.

Concerning the use of preservatives:

Gunilla of Sweden products contain 50%-100% organic botanical ingredients. Quality organic botanicals will start to mold and rot quickly, to have a reasonable shelf life and to stop microbial growth it is a necessity that we use approximately .05% FDA approved preservatives.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) reviewed the safety of methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben in 1984 and concluded they were safe for use in cosmetic products at levels up to 25%. Typically parabens are used at levels ranging from 0.01 to 0.3%. On November 14, 2003, the CIR began the process to reopen the safety assessments of methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben in order to offer interested parties an opportunity to submit new data for consideration. In September 2005, the CIR decided to re-open the safety assessment for parabens to request exposure estimates and a risk assessment for cosmetic uses.

In December 2005, after considering the margins of safety for exposure to women and infants, the Panel determined that there was no need to change its original conclusion that parabens are safe as used in cosmetics. Further, parabens are used at very low levels in cosmetics. In a review of the estrogenic activity of parabens, (Golden et al., in Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 2005) the author concluded that based on maximum daily exposure estimates, it was implausible that parabens could increase the risk associates with exposure to estrogenic chemicals.

FDA believes that at the present time there is no reason for consumers to be concerned about the use of cosmetics containing parabens. However, the agency will continue to evaluate new data in this area. If FDA determines that a health hazard exists, the agency will advise the industry and the public, and will consider its legal options under the authority of the FD&C Act in protecting the health and welfare of consumers.
