With
global warming and possible harmful effects of chemicals to our environment, a
lot of companies have now switched to eco-friendly approach. Even manufacturers
of cosmetics and skin care products are carefully integrating the same approach
into their merchandise. But what exactly are natural skin care products and how
to spot them?
Our
skin is the largest organ in our body and this is one of the most versatile
parts of our body that contains a two-way membrane and it basically uses
sebaceous glands and hair follicles to absorb and eliminate toxins from our
body. Therefore, it is highly important to be aware of the substances that we
might be exposing ourselves via creams and lotions. We also need to be extra
careful in case of facial products.
When
buying a particular product, you must take a little time to read all the
ingredients, especially those that claim to be natural in nature. In general,
these products must have labels with the ingredients specified in descending
order of their quantity and the top third are in 90-95%; the middle third
ingredients with 5-8% and the bottom third compose about 1-3% of total
composition.
Consumers
must also take extra care when reading the ingredients and make sure they are
not chemical based. They should be derived from natural resource through
natural medium. A substance derived through natural source but involve chemical
processing will not be considered as natural.
There
are natural alternatives to chemical substances that are generally needed in Natural Body
Moisturiser. Some other products are emollients and humectants in which
emollients serve as the barrier that prevents dryness and protects the skin.
Synthetic emollients generally coat the skin and at times don’t allow air to
pass through the skin eventually causing some skin reaction. So you should
avoid these kind of products and there is no such risk involved when you choose
natural skin care products.
