Organic cosmetics: Why you should make the switch and what to buy
While ‘beauty’ is the first word that comes to mind when we hear ‘cosmetics’, we urge you to also think sustainable, ethical and natural!
Are you aware of the ingredients your favourite makeup products contain? No, we are not talking about those complex scientific names on the back of fancy packaging, which remain but a mere formality. Unfortunately, many big names in the beauty and makeup industry have deeper, darker secrets that they never reveal to you. The seemingly great products, well pigmented, smooth and pretty to look at are rarely ever so. This is why we want to encourage you to switch to organic cosmetics and makeup products - which are just as promising, with added benefits and no fine print!
Why should I invest in organic cosmetics?
If the glaring lack of transparency that some cosmetic brands have regarding the constituents of their products is not enough to convince you, here are are 3 more reasons to make the switch -
1. Organic products are much better for your skin. This one is the most obvious one - all-natural and plant extracts, oils and raw materials will be much gentler on your skin, and are less likely to cause problems like those caused by toxic chemicals.
2. It is a more sustainable and environment-friendly approach. All 100 percent organic products are a combination of natural ingredients that are ethically sourced, are renewable resources and preserve the biodiversity of the region they grow in. Unlike petrochemicals used in regular cosmetics (which are toxic for you as well as the environment), methods like organic farming and biodynamic agriculture for organic cosmetics ensure holistic welfare!
3. The process of manufacturing organic cosmetics is much more socially ethical. It supports and uplifts many small and medium enterprises and local communities for sourcing of raw materials. The process values the long-lasting and mutually beneficial relationship with ethnic communities, and their corporate social responsibility.
