The use of natural and
organic personal care products is increasing dramatically...
not just in the United States but throughout the world.
People are becoming more knowledgeable and concerned
about the environment and the effect of toxic chemicals
on us and the earth. Properly formulated natural and
organic personal care products are not only good for
you but are actually more effective than their commercially
mass-produced chemical laden counterparts.
Safer and Healthier
Why are people consuming more natural and organic
foods? Clearly, the absence of unnecessary chemicals
and pesticides in the food and drinks we ingest make
them safer and healthier for us. The use of natural
and organic personal care products is just as, if
not more important than, consuming natural and organic
foods. While the body's digestive system is actually
designed to filter out impurities, the skin, as the
body's largest organ, absorbs 60% of what is put on
it, directly into the bloodstream.
Natural is Effective!
Essential oils, for example, primary ingredients
in any natural or organic personal care product, are
the concentrated, odoriferous derivatives of therapeutic
plants produced for their own survival and protection
from disease. These precious oils influence the plant's
growth and reproduction insuring a long and healthy
life. The molecular structure of essential oils is
very close to that of the fluids and oils of our skin,
accounting for our skin's natural affinity to them.
They are readily absorbed and penetrate to the deepest
skin layers. Regular use of essential oils in skin
care has been proven effective in helping correct
problems such as wrinkles, excessive oiliness, dryness,
blemishes, and tone. Essential oils have the capacity
to promote the elimination of dead cells, regenerate
new ones and to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Better for the Environment
Organic farming is safer for the environment. It
helps to give back to nature by maintaining and replenishing
the soil rather than depleting it. Organic farming
is better for all of us in the long run. The use of
natural ingredients over cheaper synthetic ingredients
eliminates the release of hazardous bi-products released
into the environment during the production of synthetic
chemicals in laboratories and factories around the
globe.
