Natural cosmetics are booming in today’s health conscious world.  With the advancement of science, we have learned that what you put on your body matters as much as what you put in your body.  The skin is the body’s largest organ and it readily absorbs over 60% of the products and  medications put on it.  That is why the transdermal patches are increasing in popularity.  The skin will absorb the medication over an extended portion of time and there is no interaction with the digestive tract.  So why should you turn to natural cosmetics?


The U.S. government poorly manages the Cosmetic, Toiletries and Fragrances industry.  This industry makes just over $50 billion  a year.  They have hired lobbyists to lobby Congress on their behalf.  Because of the strength and tenacity of these lobbyists, the laws that would protect the “people”  from harmful products are not put into effect.

Potentially Harmful and Carcinogenic Ingredients Might be in Your Makeup!
Most people do not realize that the cosmetics or skin care systems they use on a daily basis have  potentially harmful or carcinogenic ingredients in them.  This organization that fights for consumers is Safe Cosmetics Organization .  Their free website provides the consumer the ability to input their cosmetic in question and receive an complete analysis of that cosmetic. They have an easy to follow numbering system that rates the product in question form 0 (no harm done) to 10 (extremely hazardous to your health).   After visiting this site, you may very well throw all of your makeup in the trash and seek out the safe alternative such as natural beauty products.

Natural Cosmetics
Natural beauty products are made with the consumer in mind.  They feature only products found in nature;  products that are safe.  Even young girls who are just starting to use cosmetics can use natural or organic cosmetics without running the added risk of acne and other skin problems.  Regular skin care products and makeup usually have additives that are petroleum based or man made which can cause potential birth defects, cancer, developmental delays, skin rashes, skin irritations, acne, premature aging of the skin and more.  

All natural cosmetics contain potent formulas that help promote vibrant firmer skin that has an incredible softness to it.  Most natural cosmetics are safe enough to wear to bed at night, but we don’t recommend that!  Organic or natural makeup and skin care is not all made the same.  There are some brands that are better than others, so please read the labels.  The natural cosmetics and skin care systems that use phyto-collagen products (products that are plant based only- no animal bi-products) are the best and most effective.  Phyto-collagen products are more readily absorbed by the skin and provide more relief from the things we encounter in our daily surroundings.  

If you have skin that has aged prematurely, acne or  allergies , then natural makeup and skin care is the only option open to you.  These products were made with the consumer’s well being in mind.  They are not only soothing, refreshing and beneficial, they look absolutely amazing as if you are wearing nothing at all!  Protect your health and your skin at the same by including all natural or organic skin care and cosmetics into your daily ritual.
