Why everyone is going organic - the biggest trend in beauty is clean

When you consider that you apply, on average, nine personal care products to your body every day - with around 126 unique ingredients - it’s no surprise that one of the biggest trends in beauty is the search for clean, organic brands.

Making the switch to organic means ditching dangerous chemicals, harsh fragrances, and mysterious fillers in favor of ingredients derived from plants and grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.  This means you're getting all the good stuff – nature's  potent antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals –  without any of the nasties.

So if you’re not already aboard the organic train, this is why this is why it should be the next step in your beauty journey.

Gentle yet effective

Organic ingredients are often much gentler on your skin. This is especially important for those with sensitive skin prone to irritation. 

We know what you’re thinking - how can it get the same results without all the chemicals? But don't be fooled  by that "gentle" label – organic products can be  incredibly effective in nourishing and revitalizing your skin.

Kiss allergies goodbye

Many people suffer from allergies to common cosmetic ingredients. Organics tend to be much less likely to trigger reactions, so you can flaunt that flawless face with confidence.

Inner and outer beauty

What you put on your skin gets absorbed by your body. 

Do you know, for instance, that your bronzer could be filled with untested talc contaminated with asbestos, which is a proven carcinogen? Or that your lipstick could be preserved using BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), which has been shown to cause stomach tumors?

Parabens and phthalates are what’s known as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and are linked to hormonally-driven cancers like breast, ovarian, and prostate.

You should also be on the look out for oxybenzone - often found in lotions, sunscreens, cleansers, and lip balms. It gets absorbed by the circulatory system and can play havoc with your hormonal system.

By choosing organic, you're minimizing your exposure to potentially harmful chemicals. It's a win for both your skin and your overall health.

Going green for beauty

Organic farming practices are better for the environment. No harsh chemicals leaching into the soil or waterways means a healthier planet for everyone (and the creatures in it!).

Making the switch to organic beauty doesn't have to be overwhelming. Start by incorporating a few organic products into your existing routine - there are fantastic options for everything from cleansers and moisturizers to makeup and haircare.
