Why Organic Skin Care is Better for Your Skin & Your Health

Everyone is striving to live cleaner today by eating less processed foods, using environmentally friendly and non-toxic cleaning products, and being aware of their carbon footprint. People are also becoming more aware of what ingredients are used in personal care products such as sunscreen, makeup, and moisturizers. Leading retailers such as Sephora and Target have recognized the importance of identifying which beauty products truly are organic and natural, and banning products whose ingredients have been found to be hazardous to our health. Consumers, retailers, and regulatory organizations have acknowledged that organic skin care is better for your skin and your health because our bodies absorb whatever we put on our skin. In addition to being better for humans, organic skin care products are better for the environment.

Harmful Ingredients in Chemically Based Products

The potentially hazardous ingredients that can be found in synthetic, chemically-based beauty products include parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. Parabens, a type of preservative designed to prevent bacteria from growing in these products, have been linked to cancer, disruption of the endocrine system, negative changes to your hormones, and other health conditions. Sulfates have been shown to cause allergic reactions and damage to your hair. Chemical-based skin products claiming to make skin appear younger can dry out your skin and make it appear older.

“Store bought skin care products are often chemical-based and can be harmful to your skin,” says Linda Fanaras, founder of New Hampshire-based organic skin care company éclatant botanicals. “They are filled with unhealthy levels of parabens, artificial fragrances, sulfates, and many other harmful ingredients. These chemicals can irritate the skin and make it appear dry and damaged.”

All-Natural Ingredients Make A Difference

Like other organic skin care companies, Fanaras started éclatant botanicals after recognizing the dangers of synthetic products and the growing market for effective organic products with pure ingredients straight from nature. éclatant botanicals uses powerful plant extracts and oils derived from flowers, herbs, seeds, nuts, roots, and berries. All products include Golden jojoba oil, rosehip oil and babassu oil, which are grown throughout the world and are carefully researched by the éclatant team.

Much like the food we eat, consumers are searching for ingredient names that they can pronounce. Using an organic moisturizer is as good for your skin and overall health as eating an apple instead of a processed, pre-packaged snack. Actress Emma Watson told Instyle that she has noticed a difference in her skin after using organic beauty products. “I have sensitive skin, so I’ve been insistent about using stuff that has less alcohol and fewer chemicals,” she said. “It’s really helped.”

Regulation is Sometimes Up to the Consumer

The Environmental Working Group, an organization that researches and advocates for safer personal care products, drinking water, food products and other commodities, found more than 500 beauty products in the U.S. that have ingredients that were banned for personal care use in many other first-world countries.

 “Most of today's skin care products claim to have incredible results but use ingredients that have potential health risks,” says Fanaras. “Although the FDA regulates many of these products, it doesn't necessarily mean they have been approved.”

Fanaras reminds consumers that it’s important to do their own research on what ingredients are in the products they are using and see what certifications the products have. Some companies may try to market their products as all-natural, but the products could contain some synthetic ingredients. She points out that high-quality organic products might cost more, but that’s because synthetic materials cost less to make especially when producing them in bulk. éclatant botanicals products are made in small batches without altering the ingredients so they treat skin more effectively.

As consumers have already recognized the personal and environmental benefits of organic foods and all-natural cleaning products, these consumers are becoming aware of the importance of using natural and organic personal care products. What we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put in our bodies and what we breathe in because all these products will end up in our bloodstream and internal organs at some point. Some ingredients can have negative effects on our bodies while some can have positive effects, so it’s up to us to decide what kind of effects we want our beauty products to have on us.
