Organic Skincare : Authenticity Issues


Many people are going organic but what are their assurance that they are getting what they have paid for?

What shoppers should look for is a seal of approval or a stamp from an accredited body such as the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), Ifoam (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements), Ocia (Organic Crop Improvement Association), Ecocert, and Demeter.

The only precaution for people who wants to try out the organic skincare range is the absence of synthetic fragrances, which is often replaced with essential oils. People with sensitive skin are still encouraged to do a pad test first because even though the farming process is chemical-free, some natural ingredients can still cause an allergic reaction or are irritants themselves.

And what you get from using organic skincare isn't just skin-deep. By using organic products for your facial routine, you can take pride in your ethical consumption, which means you're protecting the world and the environment just as much as you're protecting your skin. Living a healthy life and staying beautiful is so easy.
