At a time when concerns are more oriented on our health and the health of the planet, cosmetics supposedly “organic” or “natural” are multiplying on the shelves creating confusion in our minds.
Of course, we must be wary of certain designations which in reality do not follow any rules established by the Act. Thus, we ask the right questions on organic make-up to associate efficiency without error, with health.
Everything you always wanted to know about organic make-up (but were afraid to ask)
To navigate among all of these makeup lines more or less honest, some basic rules are to know. For example, do not confuse organic and natural.
A product that has no ingredients from organic agriculture but which contains few, if any, synthetic components is a natural product. Bio product ensures that 95% of its components are natural including minimum 10% and 95% of the plants are from organic farming. Best, not to be mistaken, is to refer to the Labels.
What does the organic make-up?
Without preservatives, artificial, dyes synthetic and petrochemical-derived fragrances, but also devoid of contents first ethoxilees (PEG) and plant genetically modified, the organic make-up must meet very strict rules on composition.
In short, in the organic make-up are banned: non-renewable raw materials and assuming the death of an animal, as well as the ingredients that require non-environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes of the planet.
On the other hand, the organic make-up contains mainly vegetable waxes (including for lipstick), vegetable and mineral oils (like the oil of jojoba…), mineral and organic dyes, and extracts of plants and essential oils of organic agriculture.
Is the organic make-up more expensive?
Contrary to conventional wisdom, organic makeup is, in fact, so expensive that it has been, compared with classic make-up. However, range entries are usually more expensive, but the range tops are cheaper
What are the disadvantages of the organic make-up?
Like any product, the organic make-up also has its little weaknesses. The main disadvantage is the fact that in the absence of conservatives in synthesis, life of makeup is shorter than for conventional make-up.
Furthermore, concerning the make-up foundations, recouvrance capacity is less than the classic makeup, but at least it avoids the effect “mask”! Finally, the smell and the packaging of cosmetics bio are not always the most attractive but the brands that specialize in this area are in addition to efforts.
And then okay, let’s not difficult, it is not so bad as some effective conventional cosmetics do not feel the rose no longer
