Why You Should Use Organic Skincare

If you want to protect your body from harmful ingredients, you must check the labels very carefully. As many products may use the word “organic” yet they are not.

Many of these products contain small amounts of organic ingredients and the main ingredients are actually harmful chemical compounds. Often manufactured from petrochemicals.

In fact, the average adult is exposed to about 200 hazardous chemicals each day and these are commonly found in the foods we eat, cosmetics, skincare, and household cleaners.

If you just consider cosmetics and skincare products, these are essentially applied directly to your skin where they can be very easily absorbed. Think about it! You use moisturisers, lipsticks, deodorants, hair conditioners, body washers, shampoos and much more.  If you use all of them or some of them, each product that is in contact with your skin can contain harmful chemical compounds that can enter your bloodstream and can cause disruption to your immune system.

Just look at the paraben studies which have suggested they can disrupt hormones within the body and harm fertility and reproductive organs, affect birth outcomes, and increase the risk of cancer.

Add to this synthetic aromas, also known as Parfum. While they may smell good, these can clog up your immune system and do the body harm. They can make your skin look dry, tired and dull, causing your skin to age prematurely.

When choosing beauty products, always make sure that scents are derived from 100% natural ingredients. Essential oils are perhaps one of the best natural perfumes in the world and the most concentrated, as a little goes a long way. And many herbal extracts provide antioxidants that can combat some free radicals.

When it comes to food and body care, always choose organic if possible, so you can be sure you are doing yourself and the planet some good.
