8 advantages of organic for cosmetics

The cosmetics we use daily or occasionally have a real impact on our bodies and the planet, when they are organic. Cosmetics made with plastic microbeads have been banned in France since 2018, thanks to the 2016 biodiversity law. This is a real victory, because Organic has many advantages.

1. Organic cosmetics allow you to avoid using chemicals

Organic certifications impose a limited list of ingredients allowed in the organic cosmeticsThis allows, for example, to avoid having parabens, silicones, endocrine disruptors and any other chemical products that are dangerous to health in organic products.

2. Organic cosmetics are better for the environment

Not having chemicals in cosmetics is also good for the planet! Indeed, these various products end up in the ocean, so it's important to avoid chemicals that could harm biodiversity, and to favor non-polluting cosmetic and hygiene products. All the additives present can be harmful to the ozone layer, the air or even groundwater.

3. Organic cosmetics, safer for sensitive skin

The problem with cosmetics for people with sensitive skin is that some can aggravate their condition. Certified organic makeup or products are excellent for sensitive skin, even if used daily.

Organic cosmetics undergo regular and consistently controlled agricultural controls to ensure they are free of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. This is what organic cosmetics undergo with each production. Even if they contain natural ingredients, they undergo rigorous testing to be certified organic. Remember, not all so-called "natural" products are necessarily organic and are therefore not controlled!

6. Organic cosmetics ban animal testing

Many non-organic products undergo this process, which involves testing products on animals before marketing them. This cruel process endangers the lives of many animals during testing.. While, the organic cosmetics are safe for us and are often certified “no cruelty”.

7. Organic allows for non-comedogenic creams and makeup

Most cosmetics and body care products tend to be comedogenic because they clog the skin's pores and prevent it from breathing, which is a real problem. When pores are clogged, bacteria grows under the skin, causing blemishes..

8. Organic does not have a strong odor

Most traditional products, which are made with chemicals, usually contain very strong fragrances to mask the odors of harmful ingredients. These added odors can be irritating to some people who suffer from, for example, migraines, sinusitis, or respiratory problems. organic cosmetics and natural ones have much milder scents and often contain essential oils for their fragrance.
