When it comes to choosing a skin care product, there are many factors to consider. Is the brand ethical? Do they use high quality ingredients? Will their formulas be effective for my skin type? Does the price fit my budget? And of course, one of the things that is top of mind for some people: are the products natural or not?
As a natural cosmetics brand, today we're going to tell you first-hand about the advantages and disadvantages of this type of product. At the end of this article, you'll have the answer to the question "Is it worth giving a little more money for natural cosmetics?". Let's get started!
HELP
More efficient
Natural skin care products contain mostly natural ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, plant proteins, essential oils and fruit extracts. Products with formulas that are naturally derived, pure, and with powerful ingredients are a much more effective solution for nourishing and healing the skin than those that are full of harmful chemicals. To sum up, natural products are much more effective due to the fact that they actually nourish the skin. Synthetic products typically use much smaller percentages of active ingredients, and the rest of the formula is full of parabens, sulfates, and chemical preservatives that do nothing to benefit your skin.
Safe for the body and organism
Although our skin acts as a barrier, it is also a sponge that absorbs everything we put on it and takes it directly into the bloodstream. So when you apply products full of artificial ingredients and chemicals on your skin, much of it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Sounds scary when you think about it, doesn't it?
Each of us probably slathers, sprays or cleanses ourselves with over 10 different products every day. And while these product formulas are advertised as completely safe by cosmetic companies, the doses we expose ourselves to over time are not. If this is the first time you're hearing this information, don't be surprised, no one wants you to know and that's why very few brands are talking about this topic.
DEFICIENCIES
To be honest, we don't find natural cosmetics to have any drawbacks, but here we've pulled out some of the things that people often find "inconvenient" when it comes to natural products.
Reduced shelf life
Natural skin care products use natural preservatives instead of synthetic ones and, because these natural preservatives do not preserve products as long as synthetic ones, natural skin care usually has a shorter shelf life.

A fragrance we are not used to
When choosing natural products, it is important to know that they will also have a natural flavor that is different and many times more intense than artificial. Don't be shocked when you open a new product and it smells like freshly cut oranges. The scent of our lavender foam cleanser, for example, has been known to fall into the "disliked" category because it is quite different from the familiar artificial lavender scent. In our foam we have used lavender oil, whose aroma transports you directly to the lavender field and soothes your senses. Unfortunately, our receptors have become accustomed to natural scents and we often find them strong and irritating, but these are the scents our nature gives us and we adore them.
It is important to note that harmful chemicals can damage our health, be potentially carcinogenic and negatively affect our endocrine system.
Our products are created with modern technology in synergy with nature. With the help of a professional team of cosmetologists, we have developed the lightest and most effective formulas with over 97% sustainably sourced natural ingredients, free of parabens, sulfates and harmful chemicals! The creation process was hard, long and we learned a lot from it. That's why we're sharing information we think you'll find useful. Creating a natural product is a much more expensive, slow and labor intensive process because balancing formulas without these harmful chemicals is much more complicated. But the end result is definitely worth it!
In our products you will find over 40 highly effective natural ingredients!
