In a topical paper brought out
by Sabinsa, the fact that natural beauty care products are the best choice is
again highlighted.
It explains how effective and
safe natural alternatives to synthetic antimicrobial compounds and
preservatives, find multifunctional applications in personal care products.
The need to control microbial
activity is inherent in two major facets of personal care, namely,
antimicrobial care wherein the product helps to retard the growth of topical
pathogens or eliminate them, and preservatives that retard the growth of
microbes in personal care product formulations.
We at Herbally Radiant are promoting the basic
concept that herbs are nature’s bounty. Our body’s response to organic
substances is gentle yet very effective. The extracts of plants and herbs,
essential oils and tinctures have amazing protective and curative properties.
The formulations out of these ingredients have immensely beneficial effect in
cosmetic applications. Some have nourishing or cleansing active ingredients,
some whip up circulation, others refine pores, while some freshen skin, leaving
it soft and glowing. Organic ingredients help skin’s capacity to absorb,
allowing better penetration of beneficial herbal extracts.
The best way to stay fit, remain beautiful and
healthy is to benefit from nature’s bounty. We have seen in recent years that larger
number of physicians, beauticians and cosmetologists across the world are
shifting to organic skin care products. Increasing use of organic products is
also due to visible harmful side effects from the application of synthetic and
chemical ingredients.
Consumers have a large variety to choose from plants
and flowers. New techniques enable manufacturers
to present them in ready-to-use products with long shelf life. Some of these
are natural preservatives themselves while others are hardening agents which
have excellent uses for face masks. Many are wonderful emulsifiers. Besides,
fruits, vegetables and other plant extracts and oils have their own fine aromas
and fragrances. The organic formulations have, therefore, highly soothing aroma
creating natural cooling and calming effect.
