Natural Skin Care Products. Do The Ingredients Matter?

Natural Skin Care Products. Do The Ingredients Matter?

by Peter Albertonach

Really, what does it matter? Who cares what the ingredients of natural skin care products are as long as the products work? I saw that exact comment on a skincare website recently.

I dont care whats in it as long as it works.

Why is there such a consumer movement towards natural skin care products? There seem to be 2 reasons.

1. That there is a slow realization amongst consumers of skincare products that there really are naturally occurring substances that are extremely good for your skin.

This is clearly true. A good example is Phytessence Wakame. This is a seaweed that has fantastic properties for optimum skin health. It is found around Japan and is eaten by the Japanese and is one of the big secrets of why Japanese women have such great skin.

A second example is Shea Butter, the oil from a tree found in Africa called the Shea tree. It is a very good natural moisturizer. There’s many more examples of naturally occurring substances that are very good for your skin and as good, often better, than the ingredients found in mainstream skin care products.

2. There is also a growing realization that the big brand name products often contain dangerous ingredients. That is often the case where there is a chemical ingredient that can be used in a product that is way cheaper than a more natural, more expensive, alternative.

I have also written extensively about the dangerous ingredients that can be found in skin care products and cosmetics, (and some so called natural skin care products too).

So there are what I consider the 2 major reasons why people are turning to more natural alternatives. So it would seem that natural skin care ingredients do matter.

The consumer wants ingredients that are safe to use and work well. This movement towards all natural alternatives is driven by what is in the products. The ingredients are what concern people.

We demand safe and effective products.

Do all natural skin care products contain only safe and effective ingredients? No sadly.

But there is a process that you can go through to find the best natural skin care products that have ingredients that are both safe and effective. Ive done that and we are fully convinced that there are some outstandingly effective, and safe, natural skin care products available.

The best are made by a company that is a signatory to the Compact For Safe Cosmetics, and most importantly all the ingredients are listed clearly on their website so you can check what’s in the products.

That is pretty persuasive. Find out who they are on my website.
