What do we mean by natural cosmetics?

We talk about natural cosmetics when a product is made mainly with natural ingredients such as essential oils, vegetable oils, vegetable butters, etc. All these components do not necessarily come from organic farming, but they come from nature. They are raw and active, but above all without chemical transformation. They do not contain any petrochemical products. In specialist shops, you can find several natural cosmetics to replace the classic hygiene products that we use every day. There are now 100% natural soaps, shampoos, shower gels, creams and balms for the face, bath salts and bombs, hair products, etc. Unlike organic cosmetics, no label is indicated on the packaging, but to certify the quality, you must refer to the INCI formula (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) which is on the back of the product.

How to identify natural cosmetics?

In order to identify natural cosmetics , you must read the composition to detect whether or not there are elements harmful to health and the environment. So-called natural products must not contain additives, dyes, synthetic perfumes, etc. Apart from the INCI declaration on the back, you can recognize natural cosmetics by their color. There are several natural dyes based on plants or clays, but if the product is yellow or fluorescent green, the manufacturers have surely used an artificial dye. In addition, do not trust the logo and the acronym on the packaging boasting about the naturalness of the product, because these are marketing arguments to help the sale.

All the benefits of natural cosmetics

Natural cosmetics have several advantages for our health and for our planet because of their components coming from plant (plants), mineral (clay) or animal (honey) nature. They are therefore healthy products that preserve the skin. They contain natural active ingredients that are more effective in the long term than traditional cosmetics. In addition, they are gentler and less aggressive for the skin unlike traditional products using aggressive chemical agents that cause several skin problems. The other advantages of natural cosmetics concern the environment, because they promote local agriculture. Indeed, manufacturers use local ingredients. Also, there is no discharge of dangerous cosmetic products.

As for the price of natural cosmetics, it is more expensive than those of the big industry because of their more expensive natural ingredients. Quality has a price, and natural cosmetics are of better quality and beneficial for the skin and for the planet.
