Why should I choose natural skincare products?
Natural skincare products provide an alternative solution to products that contain synthetic and man-made chemicals. We believe that natural skincare products, when used correctly, are better for the body in the long run. We encourage our customers to listen to their own body and use formulas that work for them.
Can I use Way of Will products during pregnancy/breastfeeding?
We do not recommend pregnant or breastfeeding women to use our undiluted essential oils as they contain a higher dosage of essential oils than the recommended amount during pregnancy.
Other than our pure grade undiluted essential oils, all of our products are carefully formulated to be used safely.
