Why Buy B4A




No matter a product's container or ingredients, it cannot surpass the power of God. God's power cannot be duplicated or imitated. It cannot be held in a beautiful edifice, for it overflows. Remember, the B4A difference as you buy, because it is more than a product, more than just a pretty bottle, more than a natural product. It is God's will being manifested, His Word and favor in action---something made specifically for you, to meet your special need, as you remain obedient to His will.
 
B4A Freshness Factor
At Beauty 4 Ashes™ we daily make our products especially for you. Our essential oils, extracts, amino acids, natural oils, natural butters, and natural soaps are sourced from the most reputable, green sources, processed without the use of solvents and petrochemicals, and conform to a 100% natural quality standard. We make every effort to ensure that you receive only the best. You are more than customers. You are children of God. We seek to give you what God has ordained for you to receive—abundance---not just to make maximum profits. Our products do not contain drops of ingredients simply so that they can be placed on the ingredient labels. Our products are not water and a little bit of botanicals. We have been duped ourselves. With so many products on the market claiming to be “all natural,” and with no federal agencies monitoring fraudulent use of the term “natural,” especially when a 70% natural threshold is so low, it is up to you to identify what is truly natural. Rest assured, that when you purchase from B4A™, we use only the finest organic ingredients, in the most natural form, in our products.
 
Every Beauty 4 Ashes™ product is handmade fresh to order, and prayed over prior to fresh manufacture and following fresh manufacture. We believe that fresh is best. Just like milk, eggs, cheese, or any other natural product that you purchase in your local grocer, our products can expire quickly, even with the use of natural preservatives. Although refrigeration can extend shelf lives, would you keep your gallon of milk for 4 months, even if no bacteria was visible? Would you freeze it and drink it? Probably not. We ask consumers to be mindful of the so-called “all-natural” products they are purchasing. If your milk and juice contain natural, food grade preservatives, and even some chemical preservatives, yet still expire within a few months or less, how can your so-called all natural skin care product or shampoo last for a year, two years, and longer? Natural products expire within six months or less once opened. Even Sephora.com agrees with us.
Q: "Do natural products have expiration dates?"
A: " Unopened they should last about 18 months. Once used, natural products generally last about four months, but individual expiration dates may vary." (Quoting Sephora)

So what is natural? Natural means no artificial colors or preservatives. Natural means better sources for ingredients in our products, organic before pesticides, natural before synthetic fragrances, vegetable-based before animal-based, reusable before disposable. Natural is about making a product that truly is good, not making a product that feels, looks, smells, or is like the synthetic industry standard.

 More Than A Product, More Than A Pretty Bottle, More Than Just Natural
It ceases to amaze us at B4A how many CEOs, company shareholders, employees, and board of directors are Christians, but comfortable giving products labeled 'natural', yet filled of chemicals and cancer-causing agents to fellow Christians, and those who are not Christians, for the sake of doing their 'job.' We, at B4A, as a company, and as individuals, seek to be a representative of God, a disciple of Christ, and a doer of God's will in everything---we do not compartilize our duty to follow Christ to church activities or Sundays.
 
It ceases to amaze us how large and small companies alike attempt to imitate our products, copy our ingredients, or even recreate our systems, without realizing that it is less about a product's packaging or ingredients and more about  us seeking to do God's will as we make each product, our commitment to praying in faith for every customer, and our request that God's Holy Spirit, anointing, mercy, and favor would be actualized in each product and each customer's life.

Beauty 4 Ashes Products Do Not Contain:
DMDM Hydantoin- a preservative that works by releasing formaldehyde into the product. DMDM hydantoin is used in shampoos and cosmetics to prevent molds, mildews, and bacterial spoilage.

Methyl, Propyl, Butyl and Ethyl Paraben — Used as inhibitors of microbial growth and to extend shelf life of products. Have caused many allergic reactions and skin rashes. Studies have shown that they are weakly estrogenic and can be absorbed by the body through the skin. Widely used, even though they are known to be toxic. Although touted by some as food grade preservatives, they are often not found in foods because they are known to be toxic. Further, the inclusion of such chemical preservatives does not guarantee no microbial growth. Often shelf lives can be extended, but not for years. Although you may not observe the fungi or bacteria, they have been found in synthetically preserved products (masked by colors, scents, and colored bottles) and often lead to poor skin and hair quality.
 
Diazolidinyl Urea, Imidazolidinyl Urea — These are widely used preservatives. The American Academy of Dermatology has found them to be a primary cause of contact dermatitis. Two trade names for these chemicals are Germall II and Germall 115. Neither of the Germall chemicals contains a good antifungal agent, and they must be combined with other preservatives. Both these chemicals release formaldehyde, which can be toxic.

Sodium Lauryl/ TEA Laureth Sulfate — A cheap, harsh detergent used in shampoos for its cleansing and foam-building properties. Often derived from petroleum, it is frequently disguised in pseudo-natural cosmetics with the phrase "comes from coconuts." It causes eye irritation, scalp scurf similar to dandruff, skin rashes and other allergic reactions.

Petrolatum — Also known as petroleum jelly, this mineral oil derivative is used for its emollient properties in cosmetics. It has no nutrient value for the skin and can interfere with the body's own natural moisturizing mechanism, leading to dryness and chapping. It often creates the very conditions it claims to alleviate. Manufacturers use petrolatum because it is unbelievably cheap.
 
Diethanolamine (DEA), Triethanolamine (TEA) — Often used in cosmetics as emulsifiers and/or foaming agents. They can cause allergic reactions, eye irritation and dryness of hair and skin. DEA and TEA are "amines" (ammonia compounds) and can form cancer-causing nitrosamines when they come in contact with nitrates. Toxic if absorbed into the body over a long period of time.

Sodium Lauryl/ TEA Laureth Sulfate — A cheap, harsh detergent used in shampoos for its cleansing and foam-building properties. Often derived from petroleum, it is frequently disguised in pseudo-natural cosmetics with the phrase "comes from coconuts." It causes eye irritation, scalp scurf similar to dandruff, skin rashes and other allergic reactions.

Stearalkonium Chloride — A quaternary ammonium compound used in hair conditioners and creams. Developed by the fabric industry as a fabric softener, it is a lot cheaper and easier to use in hair conditioning formulas than proteins or herbals, which are beneficial to the hair. Causes allergic reactions. Toxic.

Synthetic Colors — Used to make cosmetics "pretty," synthetic colors, along with synthetic hair dyes, should be avoided at all costs. They will be labeled as FD&C or D&C, followed by a color and a number. Example: FD&C Red No. 6 / D&C Green No. 6. Many synthetic colors can be carcinogenic. If a cosmetic contains them, don't use it.

Propylene Glycol — Ideally this is a vegetable glycerin mixed with grain alcohol, both of which are natural. Usually it is a synthetic petrochemical mix used as a humectant. It has been known to cause allergic reactions, hives and eczema. When you see PEG (polyethylene glycol) or PPG (polypropylene glycol) on labels, beware—these are related synthetics.

PVP/VA Copolymer — A petroleum-derived chemical used in hair.
