About Us Nature Sustained was founded by husband & wife team, Pasha & Daria. Pasha is an eco-entrepreneur and a student of sustainable agriculture, permaculture and biodynamics. Daria is an esthetician and a practitioner of Ayurvedic and holistic body care. They believe and want to promote the idea that we as a community can nurture ourselves and our loved ones the best when we are in harmony with the elements of our planet. They have found great personal fulfillment by being a good steward of the planet, and desire to give back in any way that they can – by being honest, simple people with good intentions and having the ability to create something beautiful and beneficial for others. Nature Sustained scalp nourishing soapnut hair gift set features 1 x Shampoo for Sensitive Itchy Dry Scalp, 1 x Conditioner for Damaged Dry Hair, and 1 x Body Wash for Dry Sensitive Skin. Each product is 100% free of chemical additives and uses beneficial microorganisms combined with naturally occurring elements from plants and fruits. Using a process of fermentation, Nature Sustained Hair Care products contain specially selected elements which combine to form a synergistic "brew" that enlivens the scalp, supporting the body’s natural production of oils, resulting in a balanced and healthy environment on the head and hair. We venture into the jungle in Thailand to hand source the wild soap berries, fruits & pure spring water for our botanically enhanced formulation. Soapberry is one of nature’s miracles- with consistent use, soapberries help clean the pores of the scalp; removing years of residual build up left by chemical based hair products. Fermenting the soapberries allows us to extract their hair cleansing saponin: without the fermentation process, you won't get the same hair benefits from soapberries! Why Probiotics? We already know how important it is to have a healthy and balanced microbiome in our gut. The same goes for the skin – probiotics nurture our good bacteria and kill off the bad bacteria Adding microorganisms to raw plants and fruits helps to release enzymes which break them down and create beneficial substances. The fermentation helps the skin & scalp to absorb those beneficial substances better. No wonder we call it ‘Kombucha for the skin’! The soapberries used in our probiotic shampoo have a natural pH of 5.5, while most soaps have a pH of 6 or higher. This natural defense with an alkaline substance, allows for the skin to lock in moisture, preventing dryness and irritation that exacerbate eczema and psoriasis. Why raw? Heat destroys the nutritional content, natural enzymes & energetic composition of organic matter. Using raw ingredients means that everything is harvested and put to ferment right away and its integrity and potency can be preserved. Plants native to a natural ecology are stronger & better able to maintain their natural native attributes. These super potent plants are harvested in very small quantities and only when needed in order to preserve them and keep them growing.
