At Healthy Jungle, we believe in balance from day one. We are not fanatical about food or about health - but we like to make better choices when we can. We know that healthy eating is not just about counting calories, but paying attention to what we put in our body.
And somehow it was natural to ask ourselves at one point:
If we choose what we eat, why shouldn't we also choose what we put on our skin?
The skin is, after all, our largest organ. Everything we apply to it somehow enters the body. That is why we wanted part of our offer to become i natural cosmetics – that next step for everyone who wants to take care of themselves in a simple, healthy and sustainable way.
But of course - again according to our principle:
- without load,
- without false promises,
- only what we know works.
Why natural cosmetics?
As with food, in cosmetics, everything often looks good on the declaration. But when you scratch a little deeper, you notice how often we use products whose ingredients don't nourish the skin, but actually burden it.
List of harmful and potentially carcinogenic ingredients is very long:
- Formaldehyde - a known carcinogen.
- Paraformaldehyde – a form of formaldehyde.
- Methylene glycol - a form of formaldehyde.
- Quaternium 15 – releases formaldehyde.
- Mercury – can damage the kidneys and nervous system.
- Dibutyl and diethylhexyl phthalates - disrupt hormones and damage the reproductive system.
- Isobutyl and isopropyl parabens - disrupt hormones and have a harmful effect on the reproductive system.
- Long-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) - linked to cancer.
- M- and o-phenylenediamine, used in hair dyes - irritate and sensitize the skin, damage DNA and can cause cancer.
Natural cosmetics work differently.
It uses ingredients that the skin recognizes - vegetable oils, hydrolates, vitamins, natural emulsifiers. These are ingredients that do not mask the problem, but help the skin to balance itself, regenerate and function as it was naturally designed.
That's why natural cosmetics often have:
- lower risk of irritations and allergies,
- less strain on the skin in the long term,
- an effect that doesn't stop when you stop using it, because it cares from the inside, not the surface.
Of course - as with food, it is important to choose wisely and carefully.
It doesn't mean that everything that says "natural" is really well made.
That's why we were very careful when introducing this line.
How did we choose which products to include in the offer?
To be honest - it all started very personally.
We have used some of these products privately before we even thought about introducing them to Healthy Jungle. We tested them on ourselves, looked at how they work in everyday life, what the results are, how practical they are to use, whether they really give the effect they promise.
Our basic criterion is simple:
Would we really recommend this to friends and buy for ourselves?
But we don't want to stop there.
We see this part of the offer as a living category, which we will develop together with you.
That's why your opinion is important to us:
If you have a suggestion for a product that you would like to see with us - write to us.
If you have tried one of the products from the current offer and have impressions - leave a review on the site or a comment on Instagram.
Every suggestion and experience will be carefully considered and used to make the offer as good and useful as possible for you.
You can always send your proposals and suggestions to our email: [email protected]
Healthy Jungle was born from the story of the community - and we want it to stay that way in this part as well.
Why Lilit products?
When we decided to introduce natural cosmetics, we knew that we would encounter the same question that is often asked about healthy products:
"And does it really work?"
With Lilit products - the answer is very simple:
YES. And immediately.
With many natural deodorants, for example, you hear that there is an "adjustment period" and that it may take a few weeks for them to start working.
Code Lilith of sticks – no waiting.
We also tested them, our closest ones (including the male part of the team) tested them - and the result was identical:
from the first day - no unpleasant odors, no irritations, no yellow stains on clothes.
The same goes for their serums, creams and shampoos:
- light texture,
- pleasant to use,
- the skin looks and "feels" better very quickly,
- and the ingredients are pure nature – without empty promises and aggressive chemicals.
Lilit was a logical choice for us because it combines what the philosophy of Healthy Jungle is: Natural, but functional. Hello, but practically. No complications, but with effect.
How natural cosmetics fit into the story of Healthy Jungle
We never envisioned Healthy Jungle as just a health food store.
For us, it has always been a story about a whole approach to life - to choose better options where we can, but without pressure and fanaticism.
We know that no one eats perfectly or uses perfect products every day.
But we believe that small smart changes, which are realistic and sustainable, make the biggest difference in the long run.
And that's exactly how we see natural cosmetics: as an additional layer of self-care.
We don't want to make products and offerings where people will feel like they have to use something.
That's why we choose products:
- which are natural, but also practical for everyday life,
- that bring results you can feel,
- that won't ask you to change your entire life to see the effect.
Natural cosmetics at Healthy Jungle are, just like everything else with us: a realistic balance between health and life.
What are the advantages of natural cosmetics?
Natural cosmetics in recent years, it has come out of the phase of "alternative trend" and more and more people are discovering its real benefits. If you've been wondering if it's worth a try, here are a few reasons that change user perception and experience:
1. Ingredients recognized by the skin
Natural cosmetics use vegetable oils, extracts, hydrolates, natural butters, vitamins and essential oils. These are substances that are biologically compatible with our skin - they don't block it, they don't make the skin dependent on the product, they don't burden the body.
2. Less risk of irritations and allergies
With many commercial products, the problem arises after long-term use of aggressive ingredients: parabens, sulfates, artificial fragrances, aluminum, silicone...
Natural cosmetics eliminate those factors, which is especially important for sensitive skin, children and people prone to allergies.
3. Balances the skin in the long term
Many standard products immediately solve the problem (eg mattify, tighten, dry), but often create a vicious circle - the longer we use, the more reactive the skin becomes.
Natural cosmetics help the skin to regulate its own balance of sebum, moisture and regeneration.
4. You don't have to change everything at once
The transition to natural cosmetics does not have to be radical.
You can start gradually - by replacing:
- aluminum-free deodorant,
- natural face creams,
- serum with vegetable oils and vitamins,
- sulfate- and silicone-free shampoos.
And already after the first few products, you will see a real difference.
5. First contact often breaks prejudices
Many who have tried natural products say the same:
"I didn't expect it to work this well."
Today, natural cosmetics are no longer just a "mild but ineffective" alternative.
With a good formula, it brings results that are immediately visible - without aggressive substances and without having to compromise between health and beauty.
Natural cosmetics are not miracles or magic - they are just a different approach to care, with more attention to what we apply to our skin. At Healthy Jungle, we don't believe in perfection, but we do believe in small, realistic choices that make a big difference in the long run.
That's why we decided that this story with natural cosmetics will start exactly like this - with proven, functional products that bring results immediately, but with mild, natural ingredients.
If you haven't tried natural cosmetics before - maybe it's the right time to take the first step.
And if you are already a fan - we are sure that the Lilit line, as well as the entire Healthy Jungle selection, will pleasantly surprise you.
