Hear me out on this – 90% people are confused when it comes to natural products. All they know is that if a product contains natural ingredients then it qualifies to be natural product. Actually you need to think little beyond the obvious.
First question that you should ask is – What are the other ingredients along with natural ingredients? If there are any synthetic or harmful chemicals present then the product range doesn’t qualify to be an all natural skin care line.
What do most of us do while selecting a skin care cream? We look for ingredients in the product under the assumption that if the product has natural ingredients then it is all natural. A word of caution here — If you find few natural ones like Kaolin, Grapseseed oil or Aloe Vera don’t get excited, read further to find out what else is there in the product. I am mentioning this because the product gets disqualifies from being all natural if it has even a single non natural (chemicals) ingredient.
Let me share the most common pitfall. We all have fallen prey to this one sometime or the other.
We always select a fragrant product when it comes to moisturizer or a skin lotion. Because these fragrances scintillate our olfactory senses we feel good about them. Don’t get shocked but the truth is – fragrances are not natural; they are primarily made up of an alcohol base along with more than 4000 chemicals!!!
Harmful side effects of a fragrant product are
First, alcohol dries up the skin by sucking all the natural moisture of skin.
Second, harmful chemicals penetrate the skin and get absorbed in blood.
In conclusion even if a skin care company shouts on the top of its voice that we have an all natural skin care line of products and you find that their products are fragrant then trust me it’s of no use. These products are not good at all instead they will do more harm to your skin.
The thing you should put to memory forever is that a natural product will definitely not have any fragrance.
Natural ingredients could work wonders for your skin; the list of ingredients for all natural skin care line consists of Avocado Oil, Grapeseed oil, CoQ10, CynergyTK, Phytessence Wakame, Capuacu Butter etc.
In nutshell; you need to be careful with what you use on your skin, your quest for all natural skin care products is incomplete if you do not pay attention to the harmful ingredients.
I have listed few such harmful ingredients and their side effects that you should be aware of on my website. I have also explained few cutting edge natural ingredients used in natural skin care products. Take a look if you are interested.
