The founder of Zenz Organic Products is the Danish
eco-conscious hairdresser Anne-Sophie Skjødt Villumsen. She started the first
green hair salon in Denmark back in 1999. Today, Zenz Organic Hairdressing has grown into a chain of six
sustainable green hair salons in Copenhagen area, the capital of Denmark.
Already during her apprenticeship as a hairdresser,
Anne-Sophie developed allergies towards traditional chemical hair products. In
order to continue in the hairdressing business while helping others with the
same problem, she began to develop healthier hair products. In 2010, she
launched the ecolabelled and professional haircare range Zenz Organic Hair. Several product lines as organic oils,
botanical henna hair colour and
mineral make-up, have since been added to the Zenz Organic Products portfolio.
With a growing demand for eco-friendly and healthier
cosmetic products, Anne-Sophie wants to give conscious consumers and
hairdressers a healthier alternative to the many harmful hair products
available on the market today. She has also won several prizes for both her
products and hairdressing talent. She has been elected Hairdresser of the
Year at the Danish Beauty Award 2015 and Green Hairdresser
2014 and Green Producer 2014 at the Scandinavian Green Cosmetics
Award.
What are the benefits of using organic hair products? Many.
Hair thinning sufferers, for one, can take advantage of natural, effective, yet
gentle products formulated to treat types and degrees of alopecia, or excessive
hair loss, that can affect men, women and even children. It is not uncommon to
encounter hair growth products that are made with harsh and artificial
ingredients that may cause irritation or a variety of side effects. People with
sensitivity to certain chemicals, for example, may be allergic to minoxidil and
risk itching or developing hives and rashes since their system cannot respond
favorably to the formulation of this medication. Mild weight gain, vomiting and
nausea, needless to say, are other possible side effects of minoxidil. After
analyzing all these circumstances you may be finally asking yourself "how
to get healthy hair?"
Organic Hair Products Because of
the adverse effects of using synthetic hair care products; using organic
products may be more suitable to (and more effective for) some people. There is
a plethora of organic hair products on the market today that claim to correct
hair loss, and the public is advised to purchase at their discretion since some
of them are yet to be proven scientifically as 100% safe and effective products
that may result to re-growth.
The Swan label is Denmark’s official ecolabel. It was
established by the Nordic Council of Ministers in 1989 and is used in all
Nordic countries: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. Ecolabelling
affects both consumption and production in a more eco-friendly way and the goal
is to reduce the overall environmental impact so we get cleaner environment and
greater health - for the benefit of people, the environment and the earth’s
resources.
Cosmetic products are in direct contact with the skin and
hair and therefore the content of substances which can cause allergies or other
harmful effects, is either prohibited or restricted to a minimum. Thus, there
must - except from a very limited content of perfume - not be added allergens
in Swan labelled cosmetic products. Products for babies and children must,
however, be completely free of perfumes. Substances found on the EU’s list of
possible endocrine disruptors, including parabens, must not be included. In
addition to requirements for environment and health are also requirements which
reduce the consumption of packaging and ensure product quality.
