Skin Care Schools
What is the true definition of organic skin care? We if many of the leading cosmetics companies are to be believed, it means that as long as you include a smidgen of honey you can pretty much throw in anything else that you want. It’s those mystery ingredients in supposedly organic skin care products that you have to watch out for.
I refer to them as “mystery” ingredients not because the company is hiding anything really since the contents are posted right on the label. It’s because you would have to be a med school professor to know off the top of your head what half of those ingredients are. Most of these ingredients don’t pertain to organic skin care in any way.
That’s the problem with a great many organic skin care products being marketed today. The active ingredients contained in these creams are only there in small quantities, and even the in low doses. The rest of the ingredients are chemical preservatives and engineered fragrances.
Fragrances Could Be Carcinogenic
Methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl parabens are widely use in organic skin care creams as preservatives. Studies have suggested that these chemicals may cause cancer. They have also been found to interfere with the body’s endocrine system, as well as cause skin rashes and allergic reactions.
The fragrances added to most organic skin care products are made up of any number of chemical, many of which are known to be carcinogenic. A lot of the non cancer-causing chemicals used are recognized toxins, which can do a variety of damage including affecting your central nervous system.
Why would these poisons even be allowed in organic skin care creams anyway? The chemicals utilized to make up the fragrances absolutely should not be in any cosmetics products. Developing an artificial aroma for a cream serves no purpose other than to make that cream seem more appealing to you.
A Company Who Does It Right – They Care
There is a company based in New Zealand that simply refuses to use parabens preservatives in their organic skin care products. They don’t use fragrances either for that matter. Their belief is that the health of their customers is more important saving a few pennies through the inclusion of cheap, unnecessary, chemical additives.
This company holds the philosophy that organic skin care should mean exactly that, organic. They believe that when you open a tube of skin cream, the only thing that you should be able to smell is the pure, natural vegetable oils inside. I believe that they are absolutely right.
Real Organic Ingredients
Organic skin care products should include ingredients such as avocado oil, grape seed oil, passion fruit extract, and Japanese brown sea kelp. That certainly sounds a lot better than what you’re finding in many of these other popular products. It also sounds as if this product would be a lot better for you.
It is actually refreshing to know that there are still some companies left that care more about giving their customers a far superior product than they are about how large a profit they will turn. When it comes to organic skin care do yourself a favor, and turn to the people of New Zealand. I did and I can truthfully say their products work.
