8 advantages of organic for cosmetics
Cosmetics that we use daily or occasionally have a real effect on our bodies and on 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 products have many advantages.
1. Organic cosmetics mean no chemical ingredients
Organic certifications require a limited list of ingredients allowed in organic cosmetics. This makes it possible, for example, to avoid parabens, silicone, endocrine disruptors, and all other chemicals 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! In fact, these various products end up in the ocean, so it is important not to use chemicals that could harm biodiversity, and to choose non-polluting cosmetic and hygiene products. All the additives present can be harmful to the ozone layer, the air, and even groundwater.
3. Organic cosmetics are safer for sensitive skin
The problem with cosmetics for people with sensitive skin is that some of them can make things worse. And precisely, makeup or certified organic products are excellent for sensitive skin, even when used daily. These cosmetics, which do not irritate the skin, are due to the fact that the ingredients are natural; they therefore help avoid breakouts, redness, allergic reactions, and itching.
4. Organic products naturally nourish the skin
The organic cosmetics help provide the skin with extra nourishment, deep down and without irritating it. This is because the organic ingredients used in cosmetics are well known for protecting the skin from damage. Discover our Résilience Face Cream with coffee extract to enhance your skin! Many ingredients are also packed with antioxidants; they help keep skin healthy, and in this cream, natural hyaluronic acid is added to help prevent signs of aging.
5. Organic cosmetics are highly regulated
Agricultural checks to verify the absence of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, a regular and constantly monitored process: that is what organic cosmetics go through with every production run. Indeed, even if they contain natural ingredients, they undergo demanding tests in order to be certified organic. It is worth remembering that so-called ''natural'' products are not necessarily all organic and are therefore not controlled!
6. Organic cosmetics ban animal testing
Many non-organic products go through this process, which involves testing products on animals before they are sold. This cruel process puts many animals' lives at risk during testing. Whereas the organic cosmetics are safe for us and are often certified ''no cruelty''.
7. Organic products make it possible to have non-comedogenic creams and makeup
Most cosmetics or body care products tend to be comedogenic, because they clog the pores of the skin and do not let it breathe, which is a real problem. When the pores are clogged, bacteria develop under the skin, causing blemishes. The Résurgence Scrub certified organic, like all our products, will leave you with perfect skin protected against external aggressors.
8. Organic products have no strong smell
Most traditional products made with chemicals generally contain very strong fragrances to mask the odors of harmful ingredients. These added odors can be irritating for some people who suffer, for example, from migraines, sinusitis, or respiratory problems. Organic cosmetics and natural ones, on the other hand, have much milder fragrances and often contain essential oils for scent. Terre de Mars is committed to delivering natural and organic products, to avoid any contact with these harmful products for the environment and your health.
