Why Do All Natural Skin Care Ingredients Matter?

By Peter Albertonach

So you're thinking what does it matter? The ingredients in natural skincare products don't matter as long as the products work. I saw that exact comment on a skincare website recently.

I dont care whats in it as long as it works.

Firstly lets talk about why so many people are now turning to natural skin care products. The reasons seem to be twofold as far as I can tell.

1. Bit by bit there is a growing realization that there are some fantastic naturally occurring substances that really are very good for your skin.

Theres now no doubt about that. In the past I have talked about Phytessence Wakame for example. This is a seaweed found in Japan that has extraordinary properties that are excellent for skin health, and this is one of the major reasons why Japanese women have such good skin. They eat the important ingredient.

Here's another example. Shea Butter. This is the oil found in the nut of the Shea tree, a tree found in Africa. It has wonderful natural moisturizing properties. And there's lots more examples of naturally occurring substances that are as good or much better for your skin than the ingredients found in big brand skin care products.

2. And consumers are finding out that there are often suspect or dangerous ingredients found in big brand skin care products, usually because a chemical alternative is way cheaper than the more natural alternative.

It's not news to some that there are chemical ingredients in some skin care products and cosmetics and there are even some found in so called natural skin care products as well.

So if you consider these 2 reasons for the big movement towards more natural skin care products it does seem to us that the ingredients that are found in your products ARE important.

So it would seem that the natural skin care ingredients found in their products is what is driving people towards safer and more effective alternatives.

Consumers demand safe and effective products now.

Do you get safe and effective ingredients in all natural skin care products? No, not necessarily.

But there is a way to work out which products are safe and effective and I'm pleased to say that there are some very good, effective and safe natural skin care products that are well worth using.

The company that makes the best natural skin care products lists all the ingredients on it;s website and has also signed the Compact For Safe Cosmetics.

That's persuasive. I'll tell you the name of the company on my website. - 14130
