Natural Skin Care Solution

Worldwide there is a groundswell of women looking to find more natural skin care products. Millions of women are now searching out the best all natural skin care products, and for good reason.

Because there is a growing realization amongst consumers that our skin care products as well as our cosmetics and many personal and beauty products contain potentially harmful ingredients.

For example lead was found in over 50% of big brand lipsticks tested in a recent study.

And it’s fine to be wanting to look better or smell better, but doing that at the risk of our health isn’t smart. Who wants lead on their lips?

And big name manufacturers are now recognizing this and trying to get a foothold in the natural products market.

Its no coincidence that L’Oreal has recently bought The Body Shop, a huge seller of all natural personal products.

Back to looking at skin care products. What does “natural” or “all natural” mean for skin care products or cosmetics? No one really knows, there’s no formal definition.

It’s not known what natural formally means, and for this reason there are companies out there marketing “natural” products containing chemicals that most would not consider “natural”.

So what do we do if we’re looking for the best all natural skin care products and there are some out there which can still contain potentially nasty ingredients?

Well remember, for most women the reason they are looking for natural skin care products is that they want products that are SAFE to use, as well as work well.

So once we recognize this we can use this information to find what we want.

So how do we use this? We find the website for the Cosmetics Safety Database. Here you can search various ingredients used in products and find a rating of their potential health risks.

So you can use this information to search the ingredients of personal products to see if it is considered that they pose any health risk. As an example you could search “parabens” (a popular and cheap preservative often used in personal products) and see what you get.

And then you can go to the Campaign For Safe Cosmetics. They have a Compact that any company can sign that pledges that company to making products that are free of dangerous or suspected dangerous chemicals.

And if a company has signed that compact it should make safe skin care products. You can search this compact for any company name to see if they have signed.

So you’ve found a natural skincare company that has signed. So their products should be safe. But are they any good? Well as far as I’m concerned the company that offers a money back guarantee should have great products. Most don’t.

One company has both signed the compact and offer a full money back guarantee. And it’s that company that makes the best all natural skin care products.
