Why Choose Organic Skin Care?

Organic skin care and beauty products are hugely popular at the moment, and to understand why, it's useful to know a bit more about what organic actually means. Organic farming is a method of farming that severely restricts the use of pesticides and insecticides, instead using more traditional methods and crop rotation to keep pests away and natural fertilizers to encourage the crops to reach their best.

By using ingredients grown organically, you can be sure that they have been grown with minimal chemicals so they themselves won't contain anything they shouldn't! This is particularly important when you know that a significant proportion of the products we put on our skin enter into our body.

Even better, when a company makes organic skin care products it usually means that they do not include any of the additional ingredients we'd rather avoid such as parabens and SLS. But beware the unethical brands who just use the "organic" name which doesn't mean it really is organic. Tobe sure, look for a certification logo such as the Soil Association.

In addition to the benefits to your body, organic is better for the environment. The farming methods are more eco-friendly and sustainable than other farming methods meaning a lower carbon footprint as well as using fewer petrochemicals.

So all in all, you can see why we're such big fans!
