The skin is the largest living, breathable organ in the body. Up to 60% of what is applied to the skin is absorbed into the bloodstream, which then circulates throughout the body.
Why do we wash our faces or moisturize our bodies with products that contain chemicals?
In an age where skincare trends come and go as fast as the seasons, one thing remains constant: the timeless appeal of natural beauty. With the growing awareness of the importance of sustainability and the desire to adopt healthier lifestyles, the beauty industry has witnessed an increase in demand for skincare products derived from organic ingredients.
One of the most compelling benefits of using natural skincare products is their inherent ability to promote skin health without the risk of irritation or adverse reactions. Organic ingredients, such as botanical extracts, essential oils, and plant emollients, are known for their soothing properties and compatibility with all skin types, including sensitive and allergy-prone skin.
In addition to promoting personal well-being, choosing organic skincare products is also a conscious decision that supports environmental sustainability and ethical practices. By promoting organic farming methods, which prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and water conservation, consumers contribute to the preservation of ecosystems and the reduction of harmful agricultural linkages. In addition, many eco-friendly skincare brands are committed to the principles of fair trade and ethical sourcing, ensuring that farmers and workers receive fair wages and working conditions throughout the supply chain.
Benefits of using organic skincare products:
- Rich in nutrients
- Ecological
- Free of harsh chemicals
- Gentle on all skin types
- Prevents premature aging
- Cruelty-free
Organic products are formulated with all-natural ingredients: if a product is certified organic, you can be sure that it is 100% free of toxic substances or compounds of dubious safety.
Organically grown plants contain a higher level of vital antioxidant vitamins than non-organic plants. Since they are grown without herbicides or pesticides, their organic ingredients are also free of this contamination, which means the same for the skin and body.
Up to 95% of the content of an organic skincare product is made up of active ingredients. In contrast, in synthetic skincare products, active ingredients account for only 5 to 10% of their content.
When you use organic skincare products that are safe for humans, that’s why you don’t need to test them on animals.
