Which one is more healthier for you?
The answer is neither.
Natural does not always means preservatives and chemical-free. Botanicals used in natural cosmetic can be heavily contaminated with bacteria, toxic pesticides and fertilizers. That’s why it’s important to demand for organic or biodynamic ingredients.
Organic does not means a particular product is free from toxic and hazardous chemicals. This is because the manufacturer may add chemicals, synthetic ingredients or harmful additives when formulating the product. Have you ever noticed cosmetic labels that say 75% or 50% organic? Then, the other 30-50% is made up of chemicals cocktail.
This is where reading labels and gaining some general knowledge on cosmetic ingredients comes handy. After all, you did your homework well when it comes to food. So why not do the same on the stuff you regularly feed your skin?
It’s about time consumers stop putting their health in manufacturers hands.
Read Labels, Know Your Ingredients Well.
