Why choose Organic Skincare Products?

Having a good skincare routine is essential considering our skin is the largest organ in our bodies. It is not just about fixing the appearance of wrinkles but about everything that penetrates deep into the layers of the skin. Many skincare products contain chemicals and toxins, and you may be thinking these are the only ones that do the trick. However, products that have natural ingredients can give you the same results without suffocating the skin.

The chemicals found in conventional products get absorbed into the skin and can enter the blood stream causing a variety of problems. Many of the un-natural elements in certain products have been linked to headaches, skin conditions and allergies. When choosing a product avoid ingredients that contain toxins and chemicals such as parabens, sulphates and phthalates. This has been connected to a variety of disease and illnesses.

The benefits of natural skincare are incredible, they can nourish skin cells, moisturise, improve skin elasticity and restore aging skin.

There are a lot of companies that say they are “natural” and “organic”, however when you check the ingredients list only some of the ingredients are. If something is 100% natural or organic it should contain only natural or organic ingredients. “Made with organic ingredients” means it must have at least 70% of natural elements, which can mean the rest is made up with chemicals. Make sure you always check the ingredients on the back of packs, and look for certified logos such as the ACO (Australian Certified Organic), Cosmos Organic etc.
