| One component of the natural and organic market that you can always count on is that when you come across a product that is truly organic or 100% natural, the quality of that product is ensured. Free from preservatives and chemicals that can very well cause immediate and long term allergic reactions and adverse health conditions, organic and natural beauty products are the safest, healthiest route to physical beauty and cleanliness. While this all sounds very good, you might be wondering exactly what it is that makes truly natural personal care products better than the one's claiming to be natural. In soaps, for example, you will commonly find artificial fragrances and colors, Isopropyl alcohol, Propylene Glycol and Triclosan, which are non-natural ingredients that often cause skin irritations and a host of other potentially harmful conditions. Remember folks, Mother Nature provides everything we need. Did you know that Australian tea tree oil is a highly effective antiseptic? or that Rosemary Extract (which contains Carnosic acid) protects the skin from UV damage? Looking for an antibiotic, antiseptic, preservative and disinfectant? Grapefruit seed extract is all four. In fact, grapefruit seed extract is scientifically proven to be effective at killing 800 bacterial and viral organisms, 100 strains of fungus and a host of parasites. If you do not see ingredients derived from plants and herbs in your body care products, be weary. Better yet, its important to know the history of the companies doing the testing and manufacturing. As mentioned, there are many personal care products out there claiming to be natural, but only do so on the basis that they contain Carbon or other naturally occurring molecules. Never mind the fact that naturally occurring molecules can come from petroleum and animals, which is what the company's selling these products don't openly divulge. Look for certified organic skin care products, shampoos and soaps, and don't be fooled by brands with Natural or Organic in their titles. Always read the ingredients and do your research. Rest assured that at SaveWithGreen.com we have done the research for you and will only recommend companies who sell animal-friendly, 100% natural/organic personal care products. |
