Organic for Beauty

Our bodies deserve the best treatment we can provide them. Yet, every day, we pummel our bodies with chemicals. The things we eat, drink and breathe contain a massive assortment of foreign compounds that would give us pause were we to actually know the content of what we consume. Some of these chemicals are virtually harmless. They pass through our system causing little damage. Others, once introduced into our bodies, begin wreaking havoc almost immediately. It's ironic then how readily we expose our bodies to chemically-laced cosmetics.

Organic cosmetics exist to give us a choice. No longer are we forced to use products on our faces and bodies that have more chemicals than our household cleansers. We can choose to use natural cosmetics.

Avoid The Use Of Chemicals

Most cosmetic products contain a diverse collection of chemicals with varying levels of toxicity. You won't notice most of them. They'll be absorbed into your body silently. Some of the most common chemicals include coal tar (a known carcinogen), diethanolamine (disrupts the hormones), lead and mercury. That's merely a small sample. These chemicals are included in most cosmetics under the facade of making you look attractive. By contrast, using organic cosmetics doesn't leave you vulnerable to the carcinogens, toxins and nanoparticles in conventional products. That means they won't be absorbed into your body.

Better For The Environment
The reason is because the chemicals aren't biodegradable. That is, the environment can't absorb them harmlessly. Many of the chemicals in traditional cosmetics are similar. You may be able to throw old cosmetics in the garbage, but they're still harmful to the environment. Organic cosmetics lack these chemicals.

Use organic cosmetics. They're better for you and better for the environment in which you live.
