ARE OSKIA PRODUCTS ORGANIC?
We are not certified organic by any certification board. We will always use the organic option if it is available and effective, but we decided against certification because it dramatically reduces the amount of active ingredients available to use. OSKIA only chooses ingredients that work.
DOES OSKIA USE SULPHATES OR PARABENS?
OSKIA products are FREE FROM artificial chemicals, fragrances, preservative, colorants, petrochemicals, phthalates, DEA, TEA, sulphates or parabens.
WHY IS OSKIA 98% NATURAL?
OSKIA is 100% honest in what goes into our products. They are 98% natural. We use synthetic Ecocert approved preservatives. We feel very strongly that skincare products need to be preserved 100% effectively. So called 'preservative-free' products can be a health hazard.
OTHER BRANDS TALK ABOUT NUTRITION. WHY IS OSKIA DIFFERENT?
Many brands now use the word 'nutrition' or 'nutritious' to describe an ingredient, especially oils. However, our skin cannot break down ingredients into individual nutrients like our gut does. Real skin nutrition only includes bio-available nutrients - when the individual nutrient is in a form that the skin cell can use directly. This is why OSKIA only uses bio-available actives and nutrients that our skin will recognise, absorb and benefit from.
DOES OSKIA TEST ON ANIMALS?
We're absolutely 100% against animal cruelty. OSKIA does not conduct or commission animal testing on any of its products or ingredients, or by way of any of our laboratories or suppliers. Animal testing for cosmetics is illegal in the European Union since 2009 and additional laws were adopted in the UK in 2012.

CAN OSKIA PRODUCTS BE USED DURING PREGNANCY?
The entire OSKIA range is suitable to use during pregnancy apart from our Super-R, MSM Bio-Plus, Lactoferrin+ & Vitamin E Bath Oil. OSKIA is a natural skincare range and we use a very small quantity of organic essential oils in our products to give them a very light but lovely fragrance. As the organic essential oils are in very small quantities, they are perfectly safe to use during this very special time.
For your piece of mind if thinking of trying any of our supplements, please do consult your General Practitioner first.

Each product’s shelf life can be found on its box in a symbol with the number of months indicated on the inside of an open jar.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME TO USE ONE PRODUCT?
It differs from person to person but it will take approximately 3 months for products part of a daily routine.

CAN I HAVE A SPA TREATMENT IN MY FIRST TRIMESTER OF PREGNANCY?
The first trimester is a crucial period of development
for the baby, and while the risk may be minimal, we believe it's essential to take every precaution to ensure the safety and comfort of clients. To allow
adequate time for forward planning and to reduce the opportunity for disappointment, we recommend contacting the specific spa in advance of your
arrival to discuss avoidance of thermal facilities and treatment options.
