We are constantly told that "natural is better". Okay, but why exactly? Sensitive or delicate skin, dry skin, oily skin, do not eat more products with questionable composition! We give you our good reasons to give in to the temptation of organic and / or natural beauty products.
First of all, what is natural cosmetics?
Natural cosmetics are products that incorporate at least 95% ingredients with natural origins. Besides, very often, these include certified organic active ingredients.
Whether in terms of the choice of formulas, natural ingredients, the manufacturing process or even safety of use, natural cosmetics brands must respect a strict charter of commitments. Some brands have even chosen to impose "never lists", include a list of prohibited ingredients in the formulation of their products.
They prefer to turn to natural active ingredients with many properties for the skin, such as olive oil, honey, shea, or even fruit.
1. Because they are good for my skin and my hair
We know, if there is a good reason to prefer products of natural origin, it is obviously for their formulation. True concentrates of benefits, they contain exclusively ingredients that are good for the skin.
No need to add chemicals and endocrine disruptors, just don't keep your product too long, since it contains fewer preservatives by definition.
2. Because it's beautiful and it smells good
No more pasty textures, earthy colors and questionable smells. Now the make-up and the care of natural origin bring a pleasant sensory experience.
In terms of product coloring, the brands of natural cosmetics have abandoned chemical dyes to make room for natural, such as caramel.
Technology has finally met nature, and brands offer us products that are respectful, efficient and glamorous. So we remove this dusty image from the head, and we go to the "natural cosmetic" department, fissa!
3. Because it's good for my health
Our skin absorbs everything we give it, so it's best to limit the penetration of harmful products into the body. Paraben for example, a preservative used in many non-organic cosmetics, is considered to be potentially at the origin of certain breast cancers. A large amount of the active ingredients in products of natural origin have the advantage of not being toxic. Another good point …
4. Because the most beautiful women on the planet got involved
Gwyneth Paltrow, Marion Cotillard, Monica Bellucci, Eva Herzigova or even Jessica Alba (who squarely created her own brand of organic products) are all completely addicted. Not bad as a guarantee of quality!
5. Because they protect the environment
Unlike those from petrochemicals, natural cosmetic products are generally designed according to production methods in accordance with nature. Non-denaturing manufacturing processes, ecological waste management, design of recyclable packaging … Significant extras.
6. Because they are ultra-accessible
In the collective unconscious, "natural cosmetics" necessarily rhymes with "overpriced". But these types of products have democratized and are not as expensive as you think. Indeed, we do not necessarily have to go break our piggy bank in specialized stores. On the contrary, there are even some in drugstores and supermarkets.
