Organic beauty products are becoming more and more popular as people become more aware of the harmful chemicals in many conventional beauty products. But organic products can be more expensive, so is it worth the investment? Here are some reasons why we think organic beauty products are worth the extra cost!
Your health.
Beauty products can have harmful or even toxic ingredients that can impact your skin and even your internal health. Many of these are FDA approved as “safe”, but they have been linked to diseases, disorders, and other health issues. That should be enough to make you want to invest in organic beauty products that are safer for you and your family.
Your skin.
Not only are many conventional beauty products loaded with chemicals, but they also include preservatives such as BHT & BHA phenoxyethanol, methyl, butyl alcohol, formaldehyde, tertbutyl alcohol, quaternion-15, parabens… You get the idea. These not only impact your health, but they can also irritate your skin and even cause acne. And that’s just the preservatives; other ingredients can also damage your skin, including SLS & SLES, sodium laurel & laureth sulfates which can trigger eczema and other skin conditions. Petroleum derivatives like paraffin & microspheres impact skin moisture levels, and solar screens like titanium dioxide trigger skin inflammation & irritation.
All these are found in many conventional beauty products. So it’s a huge benefit to making the switch to organic beauty products that are free of these ingredients.
The environment.
Conventional beauty products are also loaded with plastic packaging that is never really broken down in the environment but instead ends up as microplastics that threaten sea life, as well as causing other issues like blockage of water flow and the spread of disease.
You may also be impacted by the environment if you use conventional beauty products. For example, do you live in an area with high levels of air pollution? Organic beauty products are made with ingredients that are sourced from plants and minerals. They are much more sustainable and gentle on the environment than conventional products.
Convenience.
Have you ever bought a product only to find out later that it was drafted into a campaign to stop YouTubers from showing their faces at events or in videos? Some brands even limit how their products are used!
Think about it. You have no idea what’s in any given product, so you’re at the mercy of the brand when you buy it. If you’re like most people, you want to make sure that you can use your product as advertised.
That’s why it’s crucial to think about the ingredients that go into the making of your products. Some ingredients are there to boost effectiveness, while others are there to harm your health. So it’s important to do your research before you buy. It is almost always better to use organic beauty products.
Effectiveness.
Does the product work? There are so many fake products out there, it’s difficult to tell if what you’re buying is effective. Even if the product is legit, could it deliver the results it claims?
With organic beauty products, you can be sure that the ingredients are working to protect and improve your skin’s health. They contain less than 1% of ingredients that are toxic to humans, which means they’re safe to use around children and pets.
If you’re buying online, read the reviews of the product to see what current or previous owners have to say about it. That will give you a better idea if it’s a good investment.
Ingredients.
What’s in the product? This is one of the most important things to think about when buying organic beauty products. It’s also something that isn’t always obvious from the name of the product.
Some ingredients are there to provide quick results, such as lotions and face masks. These are often made with synthetic ingredients, so they’re not as effective as organic products made with natural ingredients.
Other ingredients are more long-lasting, and that’s why you see more expensive face masks and lotions using these ingredients. They may be less effective than natural products, but they’re also less likely to cause any adverse effects.
