One theory is that this rise coincides with our dependency on chemicals and toxins found in every day life such as plastics, flame retardant materials and pesticides. Astonishingly we dump nearly 6,000,000,000 pounds of these chemicals into our environment every year. The pharmaceutical industries have developed skin patches that allow the administration of various medications into the bloodstream through the skin. Many people rely on nicotine patches to deliver nicotine through the skin to aid them giving up smoking. So it makes sense that the skin would also be able to absorb unwanted chemicals through your skin care products that you apply to your body. Often these products are responsible for allergic reactions and dermatitis. Why should you use organic beauty products? Many of today's beauty and cosmetic products contain a cocktail of synthetically produced chemicals. For example the term ‘fragrance’ or ‘parfum’ on a beauty label can mean that the ingredient contains up to 100 different substances, this can be difficult if you are sensitive to a particular ingredient. In fact these synthetic fragrances contribute to one third of all allergies to cosmetics. The skin is the largest organ in your body. Obviously the individual ingredients can vary in their ability to penetrate the skin, some are absorbed in tiny amounts while others can reach the blood vessels below the skin and be transported around the body. However it is the cumulative effect of applying these various products on a regular basis that causes concern. As if you think about it you probably use soap, cleansers, eye, face and body cream, shower gel, bubble bath, shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste… the list goes on. Over the past few years there have been certain cosmetic ingredients that have been highlighted in the media due to their scientific links with health scares, this has led many people opting for organic products as a safer alternative. People who suffer from sensitive skin or conditions such as eczema or psoriasis report that organic skin care products work better for them. Many parents today are choosing organic products for their babies and children as their developing bodies are more susceptible to these man made chemicals and toxins and they are more likely to develop allergic reactions to ingredients such as fragrances. Other parents are choosing organic skin care products because they already follow an organic lifestyle; eating organic food, wearing organic clothes and want to continue to support the positive benefits to the environment and work force that their organic choices make. Of course many people choose organic beauty products simply because they find they work better! The good news is that there is a growing number of beauty and cosmetic companies that are now making wonderful organic skin care and organic make up products so you don't have to compromise on performance in order to become an organic beauty. Our Favourite companies, are Green People, Trevarno Organic Skin Care, Beyond Organic Skin Care and Nvey Eco Organic make up. How high are your standards? However, all is not what it appears– whereas organic food must meet legal standards, the same does not apply to beauty products. The term organic can be used on products that contain a minute amount of an organic substance. This can then be topped up with other synthetic ingredients that you had wanted to avoid. So it is important to read your labels so that you buy exactly what you had intended to buy.
