All Natural Skin Care Ingredients. Do They Matter?

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.

Firstly lets talk about why so many people are now turning to natural skin care products. The reasons seem to be twofold as far as I can tell.

1. Bit by bit there is a growing realization that there are some fantastic naturally occurring substances that really are very 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.

Or perhaps Shea Butter, the oil from the nut of the African Shea tree, one of the best moisturizers around. And theres many many more examples of natural skin care ingredients that are as effective, and in many cases better, than the ingredients used in mainstream big brand 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.

You the consumer wants SAFE ingredients and EFFECTIVE ingredients. So the whole consumer movement towards all natural and organic skincare products is driven by a concern about what INGREDIENTS are in them.

Give us safe and effective products any day.

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

But there is a way to work out which products are safe and effective and I’m pleased to say that there are some very good, effective and safe natural skin care products that are well worth using.

The company that makes the best natural skin care products lists all the ingredients on it;s website and has also signed the Compact For Safe Cosmetics.

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