The Benefits of Organic and Homemade Beauty Products

The Benefits of Organic and Homemade Beauty Products-Chispa MagazineMany people are boasting on the benefits or green lifestyle as a way to live healthier with minimal impact on our surroundings. The cosmetic industry doesn’t make a difference. The reasons to turn to organic and homemade products vary. For some, it makes sense to use eco- and animal-friendly, ethical and sustainable goods. There are factors that go beyond the concerns about the nature and it goes without a saying that preserving the environment is an important issue in our modern society. However, the healthy benefits of organic cosmetics are just as compelling as protecting our surroundings.

The conventional beauty products can cause chemicals build-up in the body, which eventually leads to some health problems. Simply think of how many products you use on a daily basis: foundation, lipstick, mascara, skin cleaning products, moisturizers, toners, etc. The skin is able to absorb up to 60 percent of the cosmetics you apply, and according to recent studies many of the traditional products contain hazardous carcinogenic, neurotoxic and hormonal-disrupting ingredients.

What Does Organic Truly Mean? In order for a product to be organic or all-natural, at 95 percent of its ingredients should be organic. Green cosmetics don’t incorporate synthetic chemicals, genetically modified organisms or artificial preservatives. The methods of deriving the ingredients and the production of the final goods should be absolutely natural. Some manufacturers claim to use only green and safer elements, when in fact they include dangerous preservatives or other chemicals.

Why Go For Organic Products?
They Reduce the Exposure to Toxic Chemicals… Irrespective from the price of the commercial beauty products, they contain potentially volatile ingredients. The daily use of these goods may lead to a build-up of chemicals in the body resulting in various health problems and allergic reactions. For example, there might be a link between underarm antiperspirants and deodorants and breast cancer. These products contain aluminium-based compounds and parabens that are absorbed by the skin and cause estrogen-like hormonal effects. On the other hand, estrogens stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Sadly, many beauty products use chemicals, without disclosing them. If you use organic and all-natural products, you can be sure you are not exposed to volatile compounds. This leads us to our next point.

They Are Safer… Since organic beauty and skin cleaning products are made from natural ingredients, they don’t constitute threat to your health. You will be able to avoid health issues like excessive skin dryness or irritation, allergic reactions and damage to the skin, eyes or hair due to overexposure of chemicals. The use of green cosmetic will minimize the risk of severe health issues like cancer, immune system damage, and liver problems. Organic products will give you a healthy boost with their natural substances that nourish and moisturize your skin.

They Are More Effective… Organic products are rich in essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Natural ingredients like honey have anti-bacterial and moisturizing properties, while avocado contains valuable nutrients. Organic fruits and vegetables contain more 12 percent more nutrients than their conventional counterparts. Thus, goods derived from natural products are often more effective.

And Yes, They Are Eco- and Animal-Friendly… Last, but not least organic products don’t hold any harm for environment. Natural beauty and skin cleaning goods don’t involve any animal testing as well.

Since organic products are gaining huge popularity, you will have no difficulty finding the right solution for you, whether it be from a local natural market or from Etsy. Remember, before purchasing any cosmetic piece always read the labels and reviews on the internet. Green living is always the better choice, and for those who want to continue this journey, green flat cleaning company provides more ideas and solutions for you and your home.
