Really, what does it matter? Who cares what the ingredients of natural skin care products are 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.

Why is there such a consumer movement towards natural skin care products? There seem to be 2 reasons.

1. Bit by bit there is a growing realization that there are some fantastic naturally occurring substances that really are very good 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.

A second example is Shea Butter, the oil from a tree found in Africa called the Shea tree. It is a very good natural moisturizer. There’s many more examples of naturally occurring substances that are very good for your skin and as good, often better, than the ingredients found in mainstream skin care products.

2. There is also a growing realization that the big brand name products often contain dangerous ingredients. That is often the case where there is a chemical ingredient that can be used in a product that is way cheaper than a more natural, more expensive, alternative.

I have also written extensively about the dangerous ingredients that can be found in skin care products and cosmetics, (and some so called 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.

So it would seem that the natural skin care ingredients found in their products is what is driving people towards safer and more effective alternatives.

We demand safe and effective products.

Do all natural skin care products contain only safe and effective ingredients? No sadly.

But there is a way to work out which products are safe and effective and I’m pleased to say that there are some very good, effective and safe natural skin care products that are well worth using.

The best are made by a company that is a signatory to the Compact For Safe Cosmetics, and most importantly all the ingredients are listed clearly on their website so you can check what’s in the products.

That’s persuasive. I’ll tell you the name of the company on my website.
