It’s Organic September –  the annual celebration of the benefits of organic! Organic beauty has got so many benefits, but so few are known. So this month we’re looking at 5 of the reasons why it’s worth making the switch.

Organic Beauty Benefit Number 1

Cruelty-Free peace of mind. No animal testing and No animal derived ingredients are requirements for certified organic beauty products. Not even carmine or cochineal is allowed in certified organic makeup. So look for the organic logo to be safe in the knowledge that your moisturiser or shampoo is guaranteed cruelty-free.

Organic Beauty Benefit Number 2

Organic means clean. Certified organic beauty products make it easy to avoid ingredients you might not want. Things like petroleum, parabens, artificial fragrance, phtlates, or SLS are banned in certified organic. So look for the organic logo to have that clean guarantee.

Organic Beauty Benefit Number 3

Organic means no nano-particles and no-genetic modification. Ever wondered if the minerals in your makeup or sunscreen were nano-size? Well don’t worry as nanoparticles just aren’t allowed in certified organic beauty products.

Organic Beauty Benefit Number 4

Organic is Great for Your Skin – organic plants often have more antioxidant vitamins and omega fatty acids than non-organic plant ingredients. Look for the organic logo to make sure your beauty products have got genuine organic ingredients.

Organic Beauty Benefit Number 5

Organic is your eco-friendly conscience. It’s not just that organic ingredients promote biodiversity and soil health, but there’s a whole other environmental checklist too: a certified organic beauty product has to be biodegradeable, it can’t contain microplastics and the packaging has to be recyclable plus have considered other aspects like minimalism, composting, refills or re-use. So look for the organic logo for a guarantee that your beauty products have fully considered planet earth.
