Organic is something we're sure you're all aware of and something we always look out for here at Depths in our skincare, makeup, personal care products and food. But have you ever heard of the term "wildcrafted"? Do you know what it means? Is it better or worse than organic? We've got all the answers for you below...
WILDCRAFTED?
- Wildcrafted refers to botanicals that are grown in the wild. Organic plants are farm-raised without the chemical nasties used on commercial crops but wildcrafted botanicals grow wild and are the best choice (if available)
- Wildcrafted plants aren't protected from insects, animals or environmental stressors so they develop their own strategies to fight off insects, adapt to changing environment and hold onto nutrients and enzymes to protect themselves- meaning more health benefits and nutrients for us
- Wildcrafted plants are the strongest and healthiest and are free of chemical fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides – assuming they are properly harvested and collected from areas without pollution
- Wildcrafted ingredients are found growing in some of the most remote and untouched parts of the world which means they have a very rare antioxidant profile
- Growth in their natural habitat is also thought to enhance the energetic qualities of wildcrafted plants, activating their therapeutic potential
- They are highly pure and toxin free
- Edible Beauty's wildcrafted botanicals are sourced from Australian companies committed to corporate & social responsibility, positive environmental practices, undertaking initiatives to support the development of new primary industry markets & the empowerment of growers & indigenous communities.
