Why use natural and organic beauty care, body care, makeup & cosmetics
"Natural" means that the ingredients are derived from plants. "Organic" means that the plants have been cultivated with strict guidelines to mitigate the use of fertilizers and/or synthetic ingredients and pesticides.
Many of today's beauty and body care products are made up of varying mixtures of synthetically produced chemicals. The skin is the largest organ in your body. Individual ingredients vary in their ability to penetrate the skin, some are absorbed in tiny amounts while some can reach the blood vessels below the skin and be transported around the body. While one product may contain very small amounts of some of these ingredients, it is the accumulative effect of applying various products
regularly that causes concern.
Over the past few years there have been certain cosmetic ingredients that have been highlighted in the media due to their links with health scares which has led some people to choosing organic as a safer alternative. In addition people that suffer from sensitive skin or conditions such as eczema or psoriasis report that organic skincare products work better for them as they contain either tiny amounts of synthetic chemicals, or no synthetic chemicals at all.
Parents are increasingly choosing organic products for their babies and children as their bodies are still developing and are more susceptible to chemicals in non-organic products and more likely to develop allergic reactions to ingredients such as fragrances. Others choose organicproducts because they eat organic food, and want to continue to support the positive benefits to the environment by choosing organic products.
