Go Organic with Your Skin Care
edited by Nan Frient
Adopting an organic lifestyle provides a host of health benefits.
Although more people are choosing to adopt an organic dietary
lifestyle, many are not making the same healthy choices when it
comes to their skin care. Choosing to use organic skin care products
not only provides a multitude of health benefits, but can support
healthy ecosystems worldwide.
Health Benefits
Skin is the body's largest organ, capable of absorbing hundreds of toxins each day. In fact, up to 60% of certain ingredients in skin care products can be absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream, potentially causing illness and disease.
"When individuals choose to use skin care products that are made with organic botanical ingredients, they are encouraging their own health and well being. Organically harvested plants are cultivated in ways that preserve the integrity and healing properties of the plant," says Michele LoBosco, CEO of Pure, an organic and natural skin care line. {Insert soap2 picture}
"Conventional skin care products are often made with plants and ingredients that have been bioengineered or treated with pesticides or ionizing radiation, whereas all-natural and organic skin care products can encourage your body's natural ability to flourish and maintain itself."
