Organic Skincare Products

As well as organic food with the demand growing more and more organic products which support skin care are becoming available in the market.

Many of the lotions and cosmetics that are found in shops and beauty stalls contain chemicals that are absorbed through the skin or into our lungs through the smell as we inhale the perfume.  The effects which are scientifically proven can be seen in areas such as infertility clinics where there are clear signs banning visitors from wearing perfume or aftershave.  Many of these would contain harmful chemicals to embryos.   As a alternative there are a wide range of ‘natural’ and ‘green’ toiletries and cosmetics in the market place but when purchasing you need to be careful of the word ‘natural’ as this can also be used even if there’s only 1% of natural ingredients.

Skincare the Organic Way!

Looking after your skin is a must, no matter what time of year it is. Warm, cold, humid.. it all affects the skin. And whist you are looking after your skin, why not look after the planet too?!

Organic ranges are getting bigger and better year on year, and the choices out there are immense. They use organically grown ingredients, and often support causes that do something for the environment (like The Body Shop). I never used to worry much about where my lotions and potions come from, but now I am closer to 30 than I’ll ever be to 20, the importance of looking after my skin seems a whole lot more important.
