Natural cosmetic products are those which contain at least some organic or natural substances derived from plants, fruits, flowers and roots – without using synthetic perfumes, dyes or preservatives as fillers.
These products are free from parabens and chemicals known to irritate skin, are more eco-friendly, and don’t test on animals.
They are made from natural ingredients
Natural cosmetic products are made with ingredients derived from plants or animals. They don’t contain chemical perfumes, dyes, parabens and phthalates found in conventional cosmetics products; many also come certified organic or fair trade for added credibility. Products bearing green or organic certification logos provide further proof that they meet standards that support human and environmental health.
Some European buyers are increasingly drawn to purchasing ingredients from companies which meet high standards of sustainability and social responsibility, including certifications such as Fairtrade International or UEBT which indicate transparent supply chains, community well-being and biodiversity conservation.
Benecos Cosmetics is an eco-conscious company that blends conventional cosmetics with natural, resource-conserving ingredients for products that combine glamour with sustainability. Their vegan products are free of phthalates, parabens and mineral oils; furthermore they strive to reduce waste through refillable make-up palettes and no plastic packaging in their product lineup of face wash, eye shadow, mascara and lipstick products – all cruelty free and eco-friendly products!
They are safer
Natural skin care products have long been touted as safer alternatives to chemical-laden ones. But while their ingredients may not contain harmful toxins, natural products still may trigger allergic reactions in those with sensitive skin and interact with prescription medication – not to mention spoil faster than synthetic counterparts.
Recent research revealed that many natural cosmetic products can actually be harmful to skin. This is partly due to natural substances being multi-component formulations, making it hard for manufacturers to accurately identify and list all dangerous constituents. Furthermore, certain natural skin care ingredients have been known to trigger contact dermatitis such as d-limonene and linalool which further compounds this issue.
However, many companies are working to eliminate toxic ingredients in their products. The MADE SAFE program, for instance, verifies that beauty products comply with stringent standards that won’t harm either human or environmental health and also are free from common allergens such as fragranced ingredients such as amyl cinnamal (jasmine) and eugenol (clove oil) making them safe even for sensitive skin types.
They are more expensive
Natural cosmetics are made with ingredients that are better for both you and the environment, such as plant-based oils and extracts, that are gentler on skin than their chemical-laden counterparts. Furthermore, these natural cosmetics do not contain harmful irritants such as artificial fragrances – making them the ideal choice for sensitive skin types.
Natural beauty brands often emphasize ethical sourcing practices. Most natural beauty brands support organic farming and other environmentally sustainable methods of production; others emphasize humane treatment of workers and fair wages for them; this makes organic products more expensive than their conventional counterparts.
Clean beauty may cost more upfront, but can provide greater long-term value than synthetic formulas. By eliminating exposure to toxic substances, eliminating additional treatments and repairs becomes much cheaper over time – offering major savings potential over time. There are now multiple apps designed to help users find organic and natural cosmetics within their budget; using such tools is an ideal way of joining the green beauty movement!
They are more environmentally friendly
Natural beauty products differ significantly from synthetic ones in that they tend to be sustainably sourced and chemical-free, offering long-term skin health benefits while simultaneously minimizing environmental impacts of production and use. They’re often more cost-effective too compared with synthetic counterparts; often free from synthetic dyes/fragrance, parabens, GMOs, silicones etc – many also contain cold-pressed/steam distilled therapeutic-grade essential oils, organic shea butter or plant extracts as part of the mix!
Green beauty is an emerging trend that prioritizes sustainability, wellbeing and environmental consciousness. The movement advocates the use of natural ingredients while supporting sustainable agriculture practices.
Manufacturers have responded by shifting towards more eco-friendly packaging solutions. Some brands have even switched to natural alternatives of microbeads found in our oceans and eaten by fish – which may then end up harming human health. Furthermore, green products avoid the use of harmful preservatives like Quatrrium-15, DMDM Hydantoin, imidazolidinyl urea or polyoxymethylene urea which are toxic to skin health.
