Why should we use organic foundation?

Organic foundation, or more in general organic skincare and cosmetics, have become a trend in recent years. Many celebrities and people have switched to this, but why is this so important for your skin?

What does that mean:  ‘organic’ skin care?

Organic skin care and makeup are made without chemical color and fragrances, preservatives (also known as parabens), paraffin liquid (which is an oil derivative and gets absorbed into your skin/body) and other synthetic materials. In addition, it is also not tested on animals. This all means that you do not get chemical and toxic products on your skin. Everything you put on your skin gets absorbed into your body. Of most newly produced chemical products we have no idea what the effects are on our body. There are more and more tests done, and it starts to be clearer and clearer that chemical products have several unexpected effects. Shown is the effect of certain chemicals on the hormonal system of humans. This can be a huge treat to your health in general, and also to reproduction and unborn babies.

Organic skin care are made from natural ingredients.

Some of the plant base and otherwise natural sources of organic foundation and skincare products are: aloe vera leaves, mango butter, stem cells and hyaluronic acid.  In stead of plastering a thick layer on your skin that clogs your pores, which will result in all kinds of skin problems like acne, pimples and breakouts skin, with organic products, your skin gets the opportunity to breathe. Organic skincare products work even better for your skin as regular skincare and cosmetics. This is because there are only natural ingredients in it that work better on your skin. Natural minerals soothe the skin, so usually your skin looks more relaxed after the use of a good natural  organic foundation full of quality minerals.

Apart from foundation, there is also a wide choice of organic skincare products that can respond to the needs of your beauty. From cleaner and creams to lip balms, make-up and lip gloss, there is an organic skin care product that suits you.

The awesome side effect is, that these newly developed organic products not only benefit you, but also the environment. Organic mineral makeup usually only has 3 to maximum 5 ingredients.  That is mica, iron oxide, titanium oxide. These 3 ingredients allow your skin to breathe, can not cause irritation and do not clog your skin. They also ensure that your skin ages less quickly.

Why switch to organic foundation,  skin care and cosmetics?

Studies show that almost 60% of the chemicals in commercial skincare and cosmetics find their way to your bloodstream. The toxins will accumulate in your body with all the nasty consequences, such as skin problems, inflammation, acne and concentration problems and more. By using the organic foundation and other organic skin care products and cosmetics you have no risk of getting chemicals in your blood.

Aside from contributing to your feeling of wellness and even improving your skin, the use of organic skin care products and cosmetics also reduces pollution. Normal skin care products and cosmetics are mass-produced in large factories and labs using various preservatives and chemicals. The by-products that are released from this production on large scale are dumped in the water or let out in the air. These waste materials damage the environment. We have not even scratched the surface when it comes to testing and understanding the damage all these chmical products and their production waste are doing to us, to nature and to mother earth.

Organic  foundation, and in general organic skincare products are grown and manufactured without using any chemical or preservative.
