Natural Skin Care Creams. Why Should You Use Them?
There must be good reasons for using a natural skin care cream, everyone seems to be doing so now, but what are they? And what exactly is “natural” anyway?
Lets consider that last question. What is natural skin care? Sadly although there are many many products on the skin care market that are labeled as natural there is no formal definition of what it is.
What, for example, is the difference between natural skin care and organic skin care? How about herbal skin care? How about botanical skin care?
Whilst there is no formal definition that doesn’t mean that it is meaningless. It just means that the industry has no real way of establishing clearly what is natural and what is not.
So when people ask me this I just use my own definition. I have to first ask myself why anyone would want to use a natural product rather than just one of the regular mainstream skin care products available anywhere?
It’s simple. Mainstream regular products that you usually see everywhere are made up on many manufactured chemical ingredients. You won’t find them in a tree or a fruit or a nut, you may not find them in nature at all. They are often a synthetic chemical that some scientist has found performs a certain function.
And that’s often because these synthetic chemical products are cheap to manufacture.
Parabens is an example. These are a range of chemicals that are used in many products, not just skin care products, as preservatives. Why? Because they are very cheap to manufacture. But there’s a problem with finding Parabens in your products. Many consider that they are dangerous if used extensively and could cause cancer. But they’re cheap.
There are many chemical ingredients (and petrochemical ingredients) used in skin care products that are considered potentially dangerous. That’s the reason why so many people are now turning to “natural” skin care products.
So there are huge numbers of customers now turning to more natural, or herbal, or botanical or organic skin care products because they see a potential risk in the use of skin care products with chemical ingredients.
So from this information I can make my own definition. I consider a natural skin care product to be one which only uses ingredients that are found naturally somewhere and also which are known to be safe for human use. And there’s another part to the definition.
The product has to work really well too, there’s no point in buying a skin care product comprised of natural ingredients that doesn’t do anything, (despite the fact that many mainstream products often do very little).
In truth the best natural skin care products actually work way better than the mainstream skin care products.
So although there is no one formal definition of what natural means you can still see that there is a meaning for most people. There are good reasons to use natural skin care creams. Very good reasons.
They’re safe to use and they work better than the mainstream big brand skin care ranges.
And amongst natural skin care brands there’s one brand that stands out head and shoulders above the rest. Visit my website to find out which brand.
