With Earth Month in full swing, I have been getting many inquiries on organic skincare, and whether or not it is “worth it”. There are, in fact, many benefits to choosing organic skincare, but it is important to keep certain things in mind when making the decision to go organic. For instance: not everything labeled “Organic” is going to be an amazingly amazing miracle solution. Yes, many organic products are highly effective – but some are not. I always recommend doing the research for brands that have proven results and a good reputation, such as 100% Pure, Eminence Organics, iLike Organics, and much more. So, I am sure you are interested to hear about the benefits of choosing organics! Shall we?
Less Harsh Chemicals – One of my favorite things about organic products is the fact that they are generally free of the harsh chemicals found in drugstore brands. By harsh chemicals, I mean preservatives, artificial fragrances, parabens, and more. That being said, you must be sure to read the ingredients list! Some products boast an “organic” formulation while only offering some organic ingredients.
Just As Effective – A common misconception about organic products is that they do not deliver the same results as the “good stuff” [AKA: chemical infused products]. This is sometimes true, which is why I recommend doing your research and gravitating towards product lines with good reputations. Some of the best organic product lines are just as effective, if not more-so, than your favorite drugstore brands. Also, the harsh chemicals found in drugstore brands are often doing more harm to your skin than good in the long-term! Read more
