What is Organic Skincare?
Of all the skincare terms, ‘organic’ is the most regulated. To be considered organic, a product must be made with at least 95% synthetic-free ingredients. Organic products are made with ingredients that are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers and are free from harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances, instead utilising organically derived ingredients.
More than this, organic beauty products are kinder to the environment than regular beauty products as they are made from natural and ethically sourced ingredients. All Nature’s Divine skincare products are organic, vegan, cruelty-free and eco-friendly.
Why Choose Organic Skincare?
When it comes to skincare, the beauty industry offers a dazzling array of products, each promising miraculous results. But amid the hustle and bustle of the beauty landscape, a growing number of us are turning to a more down-to-earth approach in natural skincare.
So, why are so many of us ditching big beauty brands for organic skin care lines? One major factor is the growing awareness of the potential harmful effects of synthetic chemicals found in conventional skincare products.
Additionally, consumers are increasingly seeking products that are environmentally friendly and sustainably sourced, which aligns with the values of many organic skincare brands.
Organic skincare uses natural ingredients that are kinder to the skin, free from harmful toxins, vegan and cruelty free, less likely to cause irritation and the list goes on! These ingredients are the unsung heroes of natural body products, offering a myriad of benefits that can transform your skincare routine.
Benefits of Organic Skincare
In this section, we’ll delve into the numerous benefits of natural and organic skincare routines.
Gentler on the skin
Organic skincare products are formulated without the use of harsh chemicals. Unlike conventional skincare products which often contain parabens, sulphates and synthetic fragrances that can irritate sensitive skin, clog pores and lead to breakouts, organic skincare products nourish your skin without the risk of irritation.
Natural skincare products tend to have shorter ingredients lists, often translating into a purer product that’s less likely to cause adverse reactions.
Nourishment and hydration
Natural and organic skincare products are packed with nutrient-rich ingredients that deeply nourish and hydrate the skin. Ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil and hyaluronic acid help to lock in moisture, restore balance and protect against environmental stressors. Hydrated skin is happy skin, and these natural ingredients are experts in the art of hydration.
Free from harmful toxins
One of the main benefits of organic skincare products is they don’t contain any harsh chemicals like synthetic fragrances and additives that can be damaging to the skin, cause dryness, irritation and even allergic reactions.
With organic skincare, you’re getting products that are made with all natural ingredients, which are less likely to cause any harm when used in daily skincare routines.
Eco-friendly and sustainable
Let’s not forget about the environment. Choosing natural and organic body products with organic ingredients is not just good for your skin, but it’s also a sustainable choice. Since natural skincare products cut down on the usage of chemicals and other artificial ingredients, manufacturing these products leaves less strain on the environment.
What’s more, these ingredients are often sourced responsibly and packaged in eco-friendly materials, reducing their carbon footprint.
Rich in nutrients
While many artificially manufactured products may claim to be rejuvenating of the skin, they can cause dryness and sometimes, do more damage than good. Another major benefit of organic skincare is that natural ingredients are packed with essential vitamins and antioxidants that you skin craves without the need for harmful chemical additives.
One of the best ways of identifying the goodness between synthetic and natural skincare products is to compare their ingredients. Many natural ingredients including hemp, aloe vera and green tea are packed with vitamins, antioxidants and minerals that nourish your skin. These nutrients can help repair damage, fight signs of ageing and leave your skin looking radiant.
Hypoallergenic
Organic skincare products are particularly good for sensitive skin because they are often hypoallergenic. This means their less likely to cause allergies or irritation because they don’t contain some of the most common synthetic allergens found in regular skin products.
By choosing hypoallergenic skincare, you can prioritise your skin’s health while enjoying safe beauty solutions.
Reducing inflammation
Inflammation can wreak havoc on your skin, causing redness and irritation. Unlike conventional skincare products, many organic beauty products are formulated with natural ingredients that possess powerful anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe eczema flare ups.
Natural ingredients including sweet orange essential oil, calendula essential oil, lavender essential oil and mango butter are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and can help calm irritated skin and promote a more even complexion.
Vegan and cruelty free
When people hear the term ‘vegan’, it is often associated with dietary choices, however, veganism extends beyond food and encompasses a lifestyle that seeks to avoid animal-based products all together. Even if you aren’t strictly vegan, there are compelling reasons to consider using vegan and cruelty-free skincare products.
A part of sustainability is to ensure that your products do not harm other living organisms. One of the benefits of using natural skincare is that they refrain from testing their products on animals, meaning you can achieve glowing skin along with a clean conscience.
If you are an animal lover, this advantage should be more than enough to make you passionate about using cruelty-free products.
Nature’s Divine lovingly produce vegan, cruelty-free and eco-friendly organic skincare products suitable for the whole family. All our organic skincare products are approved under the Cruelty Free International Leaping Bunny programme, the gold standard for cruelty free products.
We are committed to ending product testing on animals and proactively monitor our suppliers to ensure that our products continue to adhere to the Leaping Bunny criteria. We also use eco-friendly packaging and shipping materials to make sure our carbon footprint stays as low as possible.
