Do you ever think about how your daily beauty routine<\/strong> has an impact<\/strong> on the environment? You’re in the right place if you want to discover 5 good reasons<\/strong> to choose eco cosmetics<\/strong> rather than the ordinary ones. Not only your health, but also the whole planet will be grateful!<\/p>\n

How negative is the impact of the main products you use everyday? Choosing eco-friendly creams<\/strong>, detergents<\/strong> and shampoos<\/strong> is an important choice.<\/p>\n

Discover 5 reasons<\/strong> which will make you want to buy only<\/strong> eco cosmetics!<\/p>\n

Eco-Cosmetics: what does this word really mean?<\/h2>\n

\"Cream\"<\/p>\n

If a cosmetic product has a natural<\/strong> and organic label<\/strong>, it means that it is 95%<\/strong> (or even more) composed of organic ingredients<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The main difference between an eco-cosmetic and a traditional one can be found on the ingredient list<\/strong>. As a matter of fact, traditional cosmetics usually contain silicones<\/strong>, mineral oils<\/strong>, synthetic polymers<\/strong>, preservatives<\/strong> \u00a0and artificial perfumes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Whereas, in organic cosmetics we have plant element<\/strong>s, such as vegetable oils<\/strong>, essential oils<\/strong>, active ingredients<\/strong> and natural perfumes<\/strong> which replace the synthetic elements<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, if you use preservatives<\/strong>, they must be certified<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

5 Reasons to choose Eco-Cosmetics<\/h2>\n

There are several reasons<\/strong> which make Eco-Cosmetics better than the ordinary ones. Here you are, the most important 5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. Respect the Environment<\/h2>\n

When you use synthetic<\/strong> and chemical<\/strong> products, not only leave they traces on your skin, but they also end up contaminating<\/strong> the air<\/strong> and the water<\/strong>. As a matter of fact, according to some recent studies, some ingredients contained in sunscreen<\/strong> damage coral reefs<\/strong><\/a>, causing their bleaching<\/strong>. By using bio-cosmetics, you’ll avoid this damages and you’ll protect<\/strong> the ecosystems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The ingredients of organic cosmetics<\/strong> have been grown without the use of pesticides<\/strong><\/a> or harmful fertilizers<\/strong>.<\/span> So, if you use them, you’ll protect the biodiversity<\/strong> and promote the organic farming<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2. Protect the health<\/h2>\n

The cosmetic industry is one of the least regulated<\/strong> markets<\/strong> in the world. As a matter of fact, the lists of ingredients of several beauty products (shampoos, toothpastes, bubble baths..) contain toxic substances<\/strong>. Some studies also claim that our body absorbs up to 5 kilos<\/strong> of harmful substances<\/strong> through beauty products per year.<\/p>\n

Among the most dangerous substances there are petrochemicals<\/strong> and parabens<\/strong>, used in traditional cosmetics to make their shelf-life longer<\/strong>.<\/span> According to some scientific studies (such as this one<\/a>), parabens<\/strong> make the body stop producing estrogens<\/strong> and can be the reason of many diseases<\/strong> such as cancer<\/strong>, fragile immune system<\/strong> and allergies<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

By choosing Eco-Cosmetics<\/strong>, you’ll avoid these damages.<\/p>\n

3. Nourish your skin and your hair<\/h2>\n

The skin<\/strong> covers our entire body<\/strong> and it needs to be nourished<\/strong>. Also, it’s useful to protect you from infection<\/strong> and to filter out toxins<\/strong>. So, taking care of your hair is not just an aesthetic issue<\/strong> but it’s about protecting<\/strong> your health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The organic<\/strong> and natural ingredients<\/strong>, contained in eco-organic cosmetics, provide your skin and hair with an important nourishment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The ingredients of eco-cosmetics are all natural substances such as olive oil<\/strong>, argan oil<\/strong>, almond oil<\/strong>, aloe vera<\/strong>, coconut oil<\/strong>, etc.. They help your skin to be healthier<\/strong>.<\/span> In addition, some of these natural ingredients contain antioxidants<\/strong> which are anti-aging<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Eco-Cosmetics aren’t more expensive<\/h2>\n

We are used to thinking that eco-cosmetics are far more expensive<\/strong> than the other ones. But this is not true. As a matter of fact, on the market you can find cheap eco-products<\/strong> or you could also make them. There are a lots of DIY projects<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

5. Eco-Cosmetics don’t damage the most sensitive skins<\/h2>\n

Last but not least, eco cosmetics adapt to all skin types<\/strong>, even the most sensitive<\/strong> ones, which must be treated with delicate<\/strong> products.<\/span> Organic creams don’t contain artificial preservative<\/strong>s or synthetic perfumes<\/strong> which may cause allergies and damages to kids and sensitive skins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
