Why You Should Use Organic Skin Care Products
As we head out into a world where the options are endless of different soaps, lotions, body creme's, facial creme's and so forth, it can be
overwhelming to decide what is best for your skin and budget. For many years and convenience our options have been chain store supplies and
local malls. Today we have an endless supply of online stores, boutiques, high end stores and pharmacy's that tailor more to higher end products.
Organic Body Products have been saturating the Market/Industry for more then 10 yrs to help you use products that are a whole source,
chemical free, cleaner and much more quality derived. Research has shown that using chemical based body products causes a host of problems
to not only your skin, but deeper within your body..you are what you absorb concept.
~What is Organic or Natural mean to you the consumer?
Organic means grown or raised in it's natural form without chemical helpers. For Botanicals plants, it simply means grown certified organic by
strict guidelines by the FDA without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, genetic modification or irradiation. Organic soaps, facial creme's, body
lotions and hair care products, it means the skin care products contain mostly organic/and or natural ingredients with virtually small amounts, if
any, synthetic chemicals. "Natural" products usually contain some natural ingredients along with higher amounts of synthetic chemicals.
~Why use Organic & Natural Skin Care Products?
Your skin is the body's largest organ and absorbs everything that gets on it. Did you know that when you take a shower, your body absorbs as
much water as when you drink a glass of water? Organic/Natural Body Care Products are the only SAFE option. Most Commercial skin care
products like soaps, lotions & shampoos contain chemicals like parabens, petroleum, carbowax, PEGs, propylene glycol, TEAs, FD&C dyes, etc.
can accumulate in our internal organs, potentially harming them and our health not to mention the chemicals we are washing down the drain
into our water tables,with the harmful effects on our environment, animals & people.
~Why put toxic chemicals onto your body when other healthy choices are available?
Organic Base Oils such as Sweet Almond, Fair Trade Shea Butters, Natural Cocoa Butters, Pure Golden Jojoba all contain natural Vitamins and
powerful nutrients & skin loving emollients. Vitamin E that contains Beta, Gamma, Beta (rich in the Vitamin and not thinned out for commercial
use) are such a pleasure to your skin, they absorb nicely and leave behind a softness that is natural and healthy for your skin.
Finding products that use high end Essential Oils that are not "Fragrance" based also delivers an Aromatherapy benefit to your emotional system
while delivering skin healing properties. A fine example is Lavender.
Fragrances have been proven to equate to allergies not to mention skin rashes and potentially arise skin disorders and age spots.
Organic ingredients can raise the pH levels of dry cracked mature skin, help alleviate rash prone skin, moisturize your skin on a much deeper
penetration then any commercial product that has chemicals such as SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate) or Alcohol which is usually the 2nd or 3rd
listing on the ingredients and is the most common surfactant in many skin care products and has shown strong evidence that SLS causes
irritation in many individuals.
