Eco-Friendly Organic Products work in Harmony with the Skin

Skin is the human body’s largest organ and also its most exposed. It keeps our organs protected and helps create the appearance we are known by, giving us personality and the markers that make us recognisable. Skin is the first line of defence against the environment, and it protects the body from excess water loss and dangerous pathogens. Other functions of the skin include temperature regulation, insulation and production of Vitamin D.  Skin thickness varies at different places across the body and the skin under the eyes is amongst the thinnest and one of the first places where the features of age may be seen.

As well as the eyes the skin on the hand is also one of the first areas which show visible signs of ageing and the wear and tear that comes with regular use. The skin on the hand is vulnerable as it is regularly exposed to water, dirt other external elements and with years of domestic chores and work the skin does become tired. The skin of the hand can easily become cracked and sore and rough over the years and while you may choose to wear gloves to protect your hands some of the time, they can’t be worn for every task and more care needs to be taken to look after your skin. To repair the damage to your hands, an organic hand cream can help bring back their former softness and help them to feel gently nourished, a much better alternative to chemical-based creams and lotions that could prove more damaging in the long run.

Choosing organic skin care is the best option for your body as natural ingredients are much more suited to the skin than those created from corrosive chemicals. The skin reacts naturally and recognises the natural properties of organic ingredients, and it absorbs them more easily as well as benefitting from their effects more quickly. Traditional skin care products often contain excess water, chemical compounds that include corrosive and harmful elements and, therefore, it’s no surprise that some people have reactions and are irritated by them. Organic products work with the skin to help it repair and rejuvenate and at Skin Blossom, we specialise in products that are made only from natural kinds of butter, oils and extracts. You can view our full range at our website – www.skinblossom.co.uk and also find out more about the range we have to offer, including the organic ingredients used.

How do Organic Products differ from Conventional Ones on the market?

More and more people are waking up and realising the benefits of organic products. Organic alternatives are becoming more common on food menus and even in household cleaning items and people are gradually seeing the benefits of organic cosmetics and beauty products too. The interest in and demand for organic skin care products is growing as people recognise that their skin needs protecting from many of the chemicals they find in traditional cosmetics and beauty products. Products such as organic face wash and organic shampoos are becoming hugely popular universally because people recognise the eco-friendly nature of the products but also the benefits for the long-term quality and health of the skin, when compared with the chemical-rich alternatives.

Organic skin care products have to be natural, they are required to prove their natural ingredients to be able to describe themselves as organic and therefore, you can’t be duped into picking up what you think is an organic product and find it is something else as to use the word means the product has been fairly tested and proven to be 100% natural. Whilst there are stricter rules in the food and drinks industry with regard to the chemicals which can be used in the production of their products it is very different in health and beauty. There is no law against the use of a wide range of dangerous chemicals from parabens to carcinogens so it is down to the individual consumer to recognise the benefits of making the switch. Opting for organic skincare products means you’ve made the most sensible decision for the protection of your skin and you can feel safe in the knowledge that you are avoiding a whole host of potentially harmful chemicals.

Many recognisably harmful ingredients can be found in artificially produced skin care products, including things such as Mercury, Dioxane, Nitrosamines, DEA, Cyclomethicone, Ammonium LaurethSulfate, Alcohol, Isopropyl (SD-40), Polyethylene Glycol and more. These are all chemical compounds which can be toxic in higher levels and whilst they have obviously been tested for cosmetic use, it’s more beneficial for your skin and body to avoid them altogether.

All conventional skin and hair care products are popular because of their convenience, price and often due to advertising campaigns but the organic alternative is an area anyone who is interested in their health should explore. At Skin Blossom we create 100% natural skin care products which are effective in hydrating and caring for your skin without being excessively priced.
