A lot of skincare products have the natural label on them but are the components really pure and natural?
Some of the tactics employed by companies include slapping great big text on the package labelling it as all-natural.
This could include labels like 100% natural, 100% natural aloe vera juice, or essence of natural unicorn milk – you get what I mean. The text serves to distract.
There might be one or two natural components in the product but what about the rest of the components?
Since it’s possible for your skin to absorb up to 60% of anything you put on it, you probably want to sit up and start paying serious attention.
4 Tips for Getting and Maintaining Healthy Skin
- Choose products with an easy to understand ingredient listing. Find out more about what different ingredients mean at the comprehensive database from Environmental Working Group.
- Choose products with “certified organic” ingredients.
- Opt-out of products from companies that conduct animal testing.
- Keep track of the order of ingredient listing on the label. The lower down an ingredient is on a list, the less the amount of it in the product.
