Beauty expert Sarah Stacey, who also authored “Ultimate
Natural Beauty Bible” highlights the results of a study that organic
vegetables, fruit and cereals – and the food made from them are between 19 and
69 per cent higher in key antioxidants that are linked to health benefits.
In support of organic cosmetics, she explains that
while for some it makes sense to put environment–and animal-friendly, ethical
and sustainably sourced products on body, for others the compelling factor is
skin break-out or irritation. As is widely known, chemical or synthetic
ingredients in skincare formulations, combined with external pollution cause
and aggravate many skin disorders. The toxic effect of some harsh ingredients also
take away the natural glow of the skin gradually.
Citing the experience of Sarah Brown, she mentions
how doctors and dermatologists prescribed a daily high dose of antihistamines
for her chronic urticarial (a serious skin allergy), and disregarding that how
she herself investigated the cosmetics she was using, and the effect of their
ingredients on her skin, and she found to her shock that prolonged application
of synthetic ingredients commonly used in cosmetics could cause skin disorders
either immediately or through prolonged use.
There have been a number of cases
where women suffering from various kinds of skin problems like eczema, acne,
black spots, premature aging, etc., began to test the effect of plant-based
ingredients on their skin, and after realizing their immense benefits to their
skin, began to make their own natural beauty formulations which led to many
award-winning products.
Consumers in Europe have embraced
organic beauty products commendably. There is need to raise similar awareness everywhere.
In US, Herbally Radiant has been making and retailing natural skin care
products manufactured with certified organic ingredients. Especially in the
case of acne-prone skin, its Clean range formulations :Cleanser, Toner andSerum, have been widely acknowledged to be the most effective and skin-friendly
by all consumers.
