You probably know by now that your skin is the largest, living and breathing organ on your body. Your skin absorbs up to 60% of what you apply on it. It goes into your bloodstream and ends up circulating around your whole body !

That is why it is important to use only what’s best for your skin. Non-organic, industrial skin care products contain so many toxins that you are not even aware of ! Can you imagine what kind of harm you might be putting on your body by using these toxic products ?

The best way to avoid using harmful skin care products is to switch to ones that are made from natural and organic ingredients, such as our Futna Skin and Body Care Products !

Here are 6 reasons why natural and organic skin care products are better for you and your health :

1. Synthetic and industrial skin care products contain harmful ingredients :

When you pick up a bottle of any industrial skin care product that you find in the supermarket, and read its ingredients, do you recognize many of the ingredients ?

Non-organic skin care products contain synthetic, man-made chemicals such as sodium laurel, mineral oils, laureth sulphate, and toxins that could be residues of pesticides. A large part of the formula is made up of synthetic petrochemical derivatives to influence the scent, texture, color, while disregarding the health of your skin !

Studies also show that they can contain mineral oils, petroleum, parabens and other chemicals that can cause skin irritation, hormone imbalance, organ toxicity, and even cancer.

2. Natural and organic skin care products are made of natural ingredients

When you read the ingredients on our Futna Skin & Body Care products for example, you’ll recognize most or all of the items on there.

Natural and organic skin care products are made from natural and organic ingredients. What’s more, these organic ingredients are grown without the use of additives and chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). By using natural and organic skin care products, you will make sure that your skin and body absorb only real, natural ingredients that won’t do you any harm or cause you any irritations and allergies.

3. Organic products are more effective

Plants that are grown organically contain a higher level of vital anti-oxidant vitamins than non-organic plants. Since these plants are grown without herbicides and pesticides, their organic ingredients are also free from that contamination, which means the same for your skin and body.

In addition to this, most of an organic skin care product contains 95% active ingredients. In comparison, synthetic skin care products contain as little as 5 to 10% of active ingredients.

4. Natural and organic products are better for your skin and health

While the synthetic ingredients found in industrial skin care products may produce immediate results, they also cause harm in the long run. Their chemical ingredients may provide instant visible results on the skin, such as smoothening out wrinkes and diminishing blemishes. But with prolongued use, these chemicals end up damaging and weakening your skin as your body tries to adjust to the continuous exposure of these foreign, harmful substances. This results in skin irritation, increased sensitivity, premature aging, and clogged pores.

In addition to this, many conventional skin care products contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, and parabens. These known carcinogens can seriously disrupt your immune, reproductive and endocrine systems. The more of these products that you use, the higher toxic concentrations can enter and accumulate in your body, causing many health problems in the future.

However, by using natural and organic skin care products, you make sure that you get real nutritional benefits from real ingredients that work in harmony with your body, allowing your skin to better balance and mend itself. For example, natural organic ingredients such as coconut oil, honey, aloe vera and shea butter, are known to soothe, nourish, moisturize and promote smooth and soft skin. The results on the skin might take more time to show, but at least you know that natural and organic skin care products are gentle on your skin and won’t damage your skin and your health in the long run.

5. You are choosing cruelty-free skin care products

It is a well-known fact that beauty industries have been conducting animal testing for their products to make sure that they are safe for human use.

The good news is that natural and organic products don’t need such type of cruel testing since, with natural ingredients, we all know that they are safe and harmless to us !

By choosing to use natural and organic skin care products, you choose to get cruelty-free skin care products and you support ending animal testing in the industry.

6. Respecting the environment

Since natural and organic products use naturally grown ingredients that are free from toxic pesticides and ferilizers, they don’t leave a harmful footprint on the planet, especially in the soil, water and the air. There are also significantly less waste and toxins going down the drain and back into the earth.

By using natural and organic skin care products, you’re helping to minimize your environmental impact and support the sustainability of our environment.

We hope that this list has helped you understand the benefits of natural and organic skin care products and how they are better for your skin, health, and even for the environment !
