Healthy adult skin is approximately 50 percent water. Actual water content affects skin softness and flexibility. Skin loses water through evaporation, especially in a hot, arid climate and during extreme winter months. General health also plays a significant part in the condition of your skin.

Yes. Skin build-up shows up as blemishes and other forms of irritation. Consider incorporating bath salts as a detox to help balance your skin.

Lack of moisture in the air is the primary cause of static electricity in hair. Sun, wind, and harsh shampoos are also factors. Winter seems to be the worst season for static electricity because forced-air heating systems rob hair of moisture needed to remain static free.

All ingredients originate from organic matter, including plants and minerals.

Hair differs in texture and general health. Clary and Cucumber Daily Shampoo and Conditioner are great for all hair types. If your hair is coarse, curly, or sun damaged, you will love the Crimson Clove line.

No product is 100 percent hypoallergenic. We use the purest ingredients to minimize sensitivity.

The word "alcohol" is misleading because many people associate a drying agent (ethanol) with the use of alcohol. Tijeras products contain cetyl alcohol, a fatty alcohol derived from palm kernels. Cetyl alcohol is used as an emollient and conditioning agent for softening the hair cuticle.

We use Phenoxyethanol, a safe and effective preservative, and Ethylhexylglycerin, a skin conditioner and preservative. Both preservatives are derived from vegetable sources and are less than 1 percent of the product.

Our shampoo is so mild that, for best results, we recommend a daily regime. Daily shampooing enhances hair's volume and sheen while adding needed moisture. Daily shampooing stimulates the scalp, encouraging blood flow, which helps hair grow healthier.

It is not necessary to alternate products, unless you experience build-up from styling aids, chlorine, or mineral water residue. Build-up may result from conditioners, if you fail to shampoo twice or do not rinse thoroughly. If you experience build-up, use a professional, clarifying shampoo to help gently strip build-up. Use it periodically, followed by Tijeras Organic Alchemy Crimson Clove Revitalizer (deep penetrating conditioner).

No. Our products are sulfate-free.

Think of your hair as a fabric made of fine silk. With proper care, the "fabric" remains beautiful. Healthy hair, when gently cleansed, has its nutrients and moisture replaced. Hair shafts will remain strong, and hair will feel silky, have gentle movement, and maintain elasticity for easy styling.

They provide needed moisture, protein, and nutrition to hair and skin.
