Natural skin care creams. Are there good reasons to consider using a natural skin care cream, and what exactly does “natural” mean anyway?

What does natural mean when it applies to skin care? Good question, and one with no formal answer. You see although there are many natural skin care products on the market there is no one formal definition of what they are.

What is the difference between a natural skin care product, a botanical skin care product, an organic skin care product and a herbal skin care product? Is there any difference?

Whilst there is no formal definition that doesn’t mean that it is meaningless. It just means that the industry has no real way of establishing clearly what is natural and what is not.

So I tend to use my own definition when asked this question. But to formulate your own definition I need to first consider why people would want to use a natural skin care product. Why would they buy these over “ordinary” mainstream skin care products?

There’s a simple answer. Most of the big name skin care products that you see on the shelves have one or more, often many, synthetic chemicals that some scientist somewhere has found performs a function. Some of them are found no where in nature.

And that’s often because these synthetic chemical products are cheap to manufacture.

Lets take Parabens. A class of chemicals used as a preservative. They are very cheap to manufacture and are used extensively in many products. But some scientists consider that there is a risk of cancer from long term use of Parabens.

There are many chemical ingredients (and petrochemical ingredients) used in skin care products that are considered potentially dangerous. That’s the reason why so many people are now turning to “natural” skin care products.

So if people are turning to natural, or organic, or botanical, or herbal skin care product, its usually because they are worried about the chemicals found in mainstream skin care products, and the risks they may pose to their health.

So considering this I can formulate a definition. A natural skin care product is one composed only of ingredients found naturally and which are known to be safe for human use. And there’s more.

Natural skin care products should work as well or much better than mainstream skin care products. (That’s often not that hard as many mainstream skin care products don’t work very well.)

It’s surprising but the best natural skin care products often work way better than the mainstream products.

So despite the fact that there is no formal definition of what a natural skin care cream is there are still powerful reasons to use one, and that’s why natural skin care is one of the fastest growing segments of the market.

They’re safe to use and they work better than the mainstream big brand skin care ranges.

And amongst natural skin care brands there’s one brand that stands out head and shoulders above the rest. Visit my website to find out which brand.
