Planeta Organica is a well-known Russian beauty brand, owned and produced by Pervoe Reshenie (“First Solution”), a cosmetic manufacturer specialising in natural and organic products from around the world. Among its products, there are organic skin and hair cleansers inspired by traditional products from Syria, Morocco, and Provence.
Planeta Organica offers an impressive array of skin and hair care products formulated with natural extracts and oils. According to the brand’s official website, its specialists have been to over 20 countries to personally select only the best ingredients for their products. They visit organic farms and factories that produce oils and extracts, negotiating direct supplies of natural ingredients for Planeta Organica. They are proud of their products and take personal responsibility for their quality.
Planeta Organica’s cleansers for skin and hair are 2-in-1 products suitable for both hair and body washing. They are based on traditional recipes from Syria (Aleppo soap), France (Provence soap) and Morocco (rhassoul clay). Aleppo soap is a type of olive-oil-based Castile soap infused with laurel oil. Provence soap is also made with olive oil but it is infused with Provence herbs instead of laurel oil. Finally, rhassoul (or ghassoul) clay is mined from the Atlas mountains in Morocco and has been used by North African women for centuries to care for their skin and hair.
Planeta Organica’s cleansers for skin and hair are formulated with natural ingredients that prevent dehydration and help to keep your skin and hair healthy and well-groomed. All three products are suitable for all skin and hair types and can be used as an alternative to shampoos and shower gels. Due to their thick texture, they last long, helping to save your budget. Let’s take a closer look at each of the three cleansers by Planeta Organica.
Aleppo Hair & Body Soap
Aleppo soap, also known as Syrian soap, savon d’Alep, ghar soap, or laurel soap, has been produced in the Syrian city of Aleppo for centuries and probably even millennia. Traditional Aleppo soap is a hard soap made with olive oil, laurel oil, water and lye, using the hot process. Thanks to containing laurel oil, it has antiseptic, antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Aleppo Hair & Body Soap was inspired by the traditional Syrian recipe, but it is additionally enriched with other natural ingredients that complement and enhance the effect of laurel oil. They include Damask rose oil, organic saffron crocus oil, myrtle oil, grapeseed oil, and chamomile oil. These ingredients provide hair and skin with essential nutrients, make them softer and smoother, eliminate pathogenic bacteria, relieve irritation and inflammation, help to keep hair and skin hydrated, and improve their elasticity.
Hair & Body Soap de Provence
Provence soap (savon de Provence) is an olive-oil-based soap, similar to Castile soap and Marseille soap. Just like Aleppo soap is infused with laurel oil, Provence soil contains herbes de Provence, a mixture of herbs considered typical for the Provence region of France. The herbs contained in this particular soap by Planeta Organica include basil, sage, thyme, marjoram, peppermint, oregano, rosemary, caraway, and clove.
Other natural ingredients that can be found in the product include hibiscus extract, saffron crocus oil, juniper berry extract, alfalfa extract, edelweiss extract, mallow extract, organic myrtle oil, and organic lavender oil. They make the hair stronger and softer, prevent brittle hair and split ends, reduce hair loss, provide hair follicles with essential nutrients, regulate sebum secretion in the scalp, help to eliminate dandruff, and restore the hair’s natural shine. Besides, herbes de Provence have a soothing effect on the skin.
Hair & Body Black Foaming Clay
The key ingredient in Hair & Body Black Foaming Clay by Planeta Organica is rhassoul, also known as ghassoul. Rhassoul is a natural cleanser made of mineral clay mined in Morocco. It is rich in sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, silica, lithium and other minerals. North African women use rhassoul clay for skin and hair washing, as a facial mask, and for body wraps. The clay easily absorbs dirt, grime and excess oils, provides the skin with essential minerals, and makes it soft and smooth.
In Planeta Organica’s Hair & Body Black Foaming Clay, rhassoul is combined with organic olive oil, organic eucalyptus oil, balsam of Peru, bitter orange essential oil, argan oil, and juniper extract. Vegetable oils provide skin and hair with essential fatty acids and other nutrients, helping to prevent dehydration. Essential oils are valued for their antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. They effectively combat dandruff and other skin problems such as eczema, soothe irritated skin, and prevent itching and flaking.
Organic cleansing products for skin and hair by Planeta Organica are formulated exclusively with natural surfactants (olive soap). They are free of SLS/SLES (sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate), parabens, synthetic colourants and dyes, and other potentially harmful or irritating artificial ingredients.
