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 Act. It’s a true victory, because organic has many advantages.

1. Organic cosmetics mean avoiding chemical products

Organic certifications impose a limited list of allowed ingredients in organic cosmetics. This prevents, for example, parabens, silicones, endocrine disruptors and other dangerous chemical substances from being present in organic products.

2. Organic cosmetics are better for the environment

Not having chemicals in cosmetics is also beneficial for the planet! Indeed, these various substances end up in the ocean, so it is 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 products can worsen their condition. And precisely, makeup or products certified organic are excellent for sensitive skin, even with daily use. These cosmetics that do not irritate the skin are due to the fact that the ingredients are natural; they therefore help prevent pimples, redness, allergic reactions or itching.

4. Organic nourishes the skin naturally

The organic cosmetic helps provide the skin with extra nourishment, deeply and without aggressing it. Because the organic ingredients used in cosmetics are well known for protecting the skin from aggressions. Discover our Resilience Face Cream with coffee extract to enhance your skin!

5. Organic cosmetics are highly regulated

Control at the agricultural level to verify the absence of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, a regular and always monitored process, is what organic cosmetics undergo with each production. Indeed, even if they contain natural ingredients, they go through strict tests to be certified organic. It should be noted that so-called “natural” products are not necessarily organic and therefore may not be controlled!

6. Organic cosmetics ban animal testing

Many non-organic products undergo a process that tests products on animals before marketing them. This cruel process endangers the lives of many animals during testing. Whereas organic cosmetics are safe for us and are often certified “no cruelty”.

7. Organic means creams and makeup that are non-comedogenic

Most cosmetics or body care products tend to be comedogenic because they clog skin pores and prevent it from breathing, which is a real problem. When pores are clogged, bacteria develop under the skin, causing blemishes. The Scrub Résurgence certified organic, like all our products, will leave your skin flawless and protected against external aggressions.

8. Organic does not have a strong smell

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