About Us

Protecting yourself and the environment shouldn’t have to cost the earth.

At 1st Choice Organic & Natural Products, we offer a wide range of highly effective products free of toxic chemicals and as close to nature as possible.

Here is why we have chosen to only sell Organic & Natural Products.

All of the products we stock and sell on our website are made with only Natural and Organic ingredients derived mostly from plants, which makes our range of products surprisingly economical and effective. Even the Bio-fill we use for packing is fully biodegradable, environmentally friendly, dust free & resilient.

None of the products we sell are tested on animals. They contain no phosphates, no synthetic ingredients, no harmful petrochemicals, or other harsh chemicals. Our products have a minimal impact on the environment and are very good for people that have sensitive skin or allergies, such as eczema (dermatitis).

Certified Organic Products comply with stringent international standards. They are carefully monitored at all stages of production - from seed, growing, harvesting, storage and transportation to final processing – and comprise the highest quality ingredients grown from sustainable farming methods without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides.

The benefits of certified organic products and processes.

* Independent third-party guarantee of quality, and purity of ingredients.

* Safe, clean and potent plant extracts of high vitality.

* Sustainable agriculture that respects, supports and nurtures the complete ecology and energy of our planet.

* Authenticity and integrity of organic and natural claims.

* Prevention of damage to the environment and humans by the poisonous chemicals used in conventional.

Why you should buy certified organic products?

Conventional (non-certified organic) products are everywhere. The way in which it is produced affects you and future generations. Your choices as a consumer can change many of the destructive practices currently used:

Protect future generations - The average child receives exposure to at least eight widely used cancer-causing pesticides in conventional products.

Keep chemicals off your body - Pesticides are poisons designed to kill organisms and have been implicated in cancers, birth defects, nerve damage and genetic mutations.

Support a true economy - Conventional products prices don’t reflect the hidden costs borne by taxpayers such as hazardous waste disposal, environmental clean-ups, sickness and disease.

Stop the human experiment - The public is expected to consume irradiated and genetically engineered conventional products without any labelling or warning of their true effects.

Prevent soil erosion - Soil, the foundation of our food chain, is eroding seven times faster through excessive chemical use. Organic farming naturally replaces nutrients in soils.

Protect water quality - Toxic pesticides are increasingly contaminating the water we consume daily.

Promote biodiversity - Conventional farming methods are leaving soils lacking in natural minerals driving a dependence on fertilisers to replace nutrients.

Save energy - Compared with conventional farming methods, organic farming uses 65% less fossil fuel energy and produces 60% less CO2 emissions.

Protect farm workers - Conventional farm workers exposed to herbicides have six times more risk than non-farmers of contracting cancer.

Help small farmers - Organic and biodynamic farming is one of the few survival means left for family farms in the wake of chemical-driven mass production.


Natural Products may also contain certified organic ingredients, but are typically less than 95%. However, all ingredients must be naturally derived and include no known cancer-causing agents or harmful synthetics (such as petrochemicals).

Likewise, our environmentally friendly household products are naturally derived and completely biodegradable. This is important, because not only do most household products end up in our water and air (not to mention our skin and hair!), we use millions of litres of these damaging chemicals each year. If a product is that harmful to the environment, just imagine what it is doing to your own home!

Nature really does provide for all - And yet, despite this natural abundance and rich history, we continue to use damaging synthetic cleaners and cosmetics at an alarming rate. While most of us stop to think how much these chemicals cost at the counter, many of us don’t realize how much they have already cost our health and the environment. These are facts that can’t be ignored - especially if you have a young family.

Yes, there are many good reasons to use natural and organic products – health benefits are just one – but it helps to know that when everyone puts their mind to it, we can all make a positive change to our planet and after all, the world really is in our hands.

More importantly, every product on our website is not only safe for the environment; it is safe for you, your family - even your favorite pets.


Our Promise to you!
