Choice Of Organic Cosmetics and Anti Aging Skin Care Products

By Liz Thompson

Being free from chemical that will do harms to our  body is a part of healthy living we  should include into our daily life. In worldly society right now we are in general going green in many aspects of our life and cosmetics fall under this category too.

In addition of organic food consumption , we should also aim to use organic cosmetics as well . People wouldn't consider a highly-processed, artificially-grown fruits to be as healthy as an organically grown one, would you? Same with cosmetics. There are cosmetic products that are made with aluminum, formaldihydes, alcohol, and so on.

Do you want your skin to absorb these and have them enter your bloodstream year in and year out?  A beauty product made with synthetics, or even ultra-processed natural ingredients, is not good for your skin or overall health. Natural, nontoxic cosmetics and  animal tested free are the organic fruit of your beauty diet.

Synthetic ingredients are not only harmful to humans and the environment, but are actually less effective than natural and organic ingredients. Once unnatural chemicals are removed form your face this will improve the skins overall condition.
Pure ingredients from nature work with your skin and body to boost healing and regeneration.

Organic cosmetics and organic anti-aging skin care products are key in keeping our skin, and bodies, healthy and beautiful. But they do more than that. Safe, nontoxic cosmetics keep harmful chemicals out of our bodies, our unborn babies, and our earth.

Become a  parents our own health and well-being becomes much more important, as well. We want to be healthy and strong for ourselves and our families. And, let's admit, look great too.

But with so many harmful ingredients in conventional cosmetics you are not doing yourself any favors by using them. Even unborn babies reap the damage of synthetic ingredients absorbed by the mother's body. Hormone disruptors, like parabens and phthalates, are thought by scientist to cause birth defects in fetal development of males. These chemicals are found in many conventionally-produced consumer products, from sunscreen and skin care to makeup.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates what ingredients can and cannot be used in food and drug products in the United States; and unfortunately, harmful chemicals have been approved in many products. Harmful toxins are easily-absorbed by the skin which can then spread through-out the body.

Organic cosmetics, made without the use of toxic chemicals, but pure plant extracts and other vegan ingredients, are the best choice for both expectant mothers and moms with kids of all ages. Mineral makeup in assortments of brilliant color choices, smooth and creamy textures, and long-lasting effects keep you looking gorgeous naturally.

Swapping out those conventional skin care products for non-toxic organic anti aging skin care is better for your skin and keeps nasty synthetics out of our environment. Organic anti-aging ingredients obtained from plants and other natural sources protect from free radical and environmental damage for a healthy, youthful complexion.

While shopping for organic cosmetics, do not forget to look at the product labels. Eventually, you will be able to recognize "harmful" ingredients and become a smarter shopper.

Take a tip from expectant mother Alicia Silverstone who uses non-toxic, vegan skin care and cosmetics herself. Alicia knows that using healthy products is best for her unborn baby and keeps harmful ingredients out of our waterways, air, and earth.

You can maintain your good health, great looks, and protect the health of your growing baby by using organic cosmetics and skin care products made with nontoxic, vegan ingredients. They are the best choice for you and your growing family.
