Simple Understanding of Organic Skincare


When you go to a health shop or natural food grocers, you will find a wide array of “natural” skin care and body care products. Many manufactures capitalized on the label “natural” why? Simple! Who would want to buy something labeled with “extra carcinogens” or “loaded with parabens”?


Of course no one in their right mind would do such a thing. When the products are certified organic, they have to meet the strict requirements by the certifying body and should be very safe for the consumer. Certified organic skincare products are made from ingredients you can understand and read such as calendula oil and safflower oil not five syllable words that doesn’t mean a thing to you. This ensure that you actually know what you are putting on your skin rather than just hoping it will work because of the hype that the company claims it should.


Before purchasing a “natural” product, be sure to research the company producing it. See if they are certified by USDA, IFDA and other certifying body. Find out if their skin care line is toxic free or just made from fragrance which are usually synthetic. There are wonderful certified organic skin care products available so don’t settle for some supposedly natural junk when you can have the best available for your skin.
