Natural Skin Care Products. Do The Ingredients Matter?

By Peter Albertonach

So you're thinking what does it matter? The ingredients in natural skincare products don't matter as long as the products work. I saw that exact comment on a skincare website recently.

I dont care whats in it as long as it works.

Firstly lets talk about why so many people are now turning to natural skin care products. The reasons seem to be twofold as far as I can tell.

1. Gradually people are realizing that there really are many naturally occurring ingredients that are excellent for your skin.

There's no doubt that this is true. For example I have written about Phytessence Wakame as an example. Phytessence Wakame is a seaweed found in Japan and is packed with some wonderful things that are so good for your skin. Science is discovering that Phytessence Wakame is one of the major reasons for why Japanese women have such good skin. They eat it.

Here's another example. Shea Butter. This is the oil found in the nut of the Shea tree, a tree found in Africa. It has wonderful natural moisturizing properties. And there's lots more examples of naturally occurring substances that are as good or much better for your skin than the ingredients found in big brand skin care products.

2. And more and more consumers are also finding out that there can be dangerous ingredients in big brand skin care products. Often because the more natural alternative is way more expensive than a chemical alternative.

I have written before about some of the chemical ingredients that can be found in many skin care products and cosmetics. And in some natural skin care products too.

So if you consider those 2 reasons why so many people are turning to more natural skincare alternatives it would seem that the ingredients DO matter.

You the consumer wants SAFE ingredients and EFFECTIVE ingredients. So the whole consumer movement towards all natural and organic skincare products is driven by a concern about what INGREDIENTS are in them.

Give us safe and effective products any day.

But sadly not even all natural skin care products contain safe and effective ingredients.

But there is a process that you can go through to find the best natural skin care products that have ingredients that are both safe and effective. Ive done that and we are fully convinced that there are some outstandingly effective, and safe, natural skin care products available.

The best natural skincare products are made by a company that clearly lists all the ingredients in it's products on it's website and is also a signatory to the Compact For Safe Cosmetics.

That's pretty persuasive. I tell you who they are at my website.
