Lotus Herbals unveils PHTYO-Rx BOTANICAL PRESCRIPTIONS – The future of Skin Care- Product Info!

Concept

At lotus Herbals, we firmly believe in providing naturally safe, professional care. That is exactly why we persistently employ the best of science to harness efficacy that only Nature can provide. This has resulted in an exceptional, revolutionary range of professional beauty products :

PHTYO-Rx – The future of Skin Care.






PHTYO-Rx is our new range of home care products that are primarily to be consumed as an extension to the Salon routine at home. It is a prescription based products and is the most effective, pure and safest organic home skin care formulation.

The entire PHTYO-Rx™ range employs POTENT ORGANIC FORMULATIONS that administer higher concentration of active botanicals in each product to provide safe and natural care effectively. Each of the products is FREE of Chemical PRESERVATIVES, ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCE and COLOUR to provide you with the best of Nature.


Why PRESERVATIVE FREE products


As per recent scientific studies, a strong link has been observed amongst preservatives, especially PARABENS and health problems like breast cancer.
Add to this an ongoing scientific debate on continued use of preservatives leading to carcinogenicity and estrogenic effects.

Concern about endocrine disruptors and more has further reinforced the objective of lotus Herbals to come up with preservative free beauty solutions that give unbelievably marvelous results without making your health pay for it.

Why ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCE & COLOUR FREE Products

Using preservatives, artificial fragrances and colours in skin care products can often cause allergies especially if skin is extremely sensitive. In some cases skin may also develop rashes or itching because of Parabens present in the beauty products. In other cases, the allergic reaction may develop after long-term usage of products with Parabens.

At Lotus Herbals we adopt precautionary principles and believe in delivering only the safest product formulations.
