Organic skincare guarantees you’re using products made with natural ingredients instead of synthetic chemicals that could harm both you and the planet! Opting for this option not only delivers better skin benefits, but it can also benefit animals and the earth!
Organic skincare differs significantly from its counterparts in terms of ingredients used and where they come from, which must abide by stringent regulations to be classified as such.
1. Better for the Environment
Organic skincare products are composed of ingredients cultivated without using pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers in order to preserve biodiversity and decrease pollution levels. Furthermore, this form of farming requires less water consumption thus leaving behind a smaller carbon footprint.
Organic skin care utilizes natural ingredients, such as plant-based oils and botanical extracts, that naturally moisturize and soothe the skin, making them suitable for all skin types – even sensitive ones. Ayurveda has long utilized such ingredients, with proven health benefits.
Switching to organic skincare allows you to align your beauty routine with your values while supporting companies that prioritize ethical standards. Most organic skin products are cruelty-free; we at Cannabliss(tm) Organic take pride in upholding this standard compared to synthetic ones which often test on animals for testing purposes and support animal welfare of our suppliers’ animals.
2. Less Irritation
Many people turn to natural skin products in an effort to avoid harmful chemicals, but often their ingredients still contain toxins which may be just as or more hazardous than some synthetic alternatives. Natural or organic skincare consists of naturally-occurring ingredients which are non-toxic yet beneficial for your skin – not only that, they’re sustainably farmed so their production doesn’t harm the environment while biodegrading easily after production.
Organic ingredients don’t contain pesticides or herbicides that have the same allergic or irritating potential that many synthetic products do, reducing your chances of an allergic or irritating reaction and making organic skincare an ideal choice for sensitive skin. Products often contain less fillers and additives as well – giving more benefits directly to the skin with natural extracts nourishing, moisturizing, soothing inflammation or redness relief; making organic skincare ideal.
3. Less Harmful to Animals
Organic skincare brands use ingredients grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers – essential as non-organic farming can wash harmful chemicals down drains, seep into soil and pollute our air supply, polluting the planet. Organic skincare helps mitigate this damage as well as preserve biodiversity and limit climate change.
Non-organic skin products often contain harsh, man-made chemicals like parabens, mineral oil and sodium laureth sulfate that can lead to allergic reactions and hormone disruption as well as organ toxicity. On the contrary, organic skincare brands typically prioritize ethical sourcing and sustainable packaging with an emphasis on doing good at every stage in product lifecycle.
Organic skincare typically means no animal testing. We only carry products certified cruelty-free by respected organizations such as Leaping Bunny, Beauty without Cruelty and The Vegan Society.
4. Less Harmful to Humans
Many beauty products labeled ‘natural and organic’ contain too few natural ingredients for them to truly be considered such, leading to your body being exposed to potentially hazardous chemicals when you use them.
Non-organic skincare products contain harmful chemicals that wash down the drain, leach into soil and pollute our environment – ultimately polluting waterways, global warming and oxygen depletion – exactly the opposite of what should be put onto our skins!
Organic and natural skincare products contain vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to nourished the skin, typically more effectively than synthetic alternatives. Up to 95% of an organic skincare product may consist of ingredients designed to soothe and nourishe your skin instantly – much more so than synthetic alternatives! Furthermore, many organic products support efforts to ban animal testing within cosmetic industries – and you are less likely to have an allergic reaction with organic options too.
