Movement Using Natural Cosmetics


In the middle of the environmental issues are pushed, the green movement touches all walks of life, including beauty. Green Cosmetics became a new way to look beautiful the natural and environmentally friendly. Now, advances in cosmetic technologies have been combined with natural ingredients. However, cutting-edge technology that is injected into the cosmetics sometimes brings contrasting results.

The content of chemical compounds that the higher the cosmetic refer to various skin problems. Cosmetics are now like two sides of a coin. On the one hand nourish the skin to make it appear more perfect, while on the other hand the content of their chemical compounds can trigger a hormonal imbalance.

Along with the onslaught of cosmetic products that offer cutting-edge innovation, world calls for a step change. Global warming is an issue together and led to various movements for the sake of saving the environment, including the world's beauty. Cosmetic products with high chemical content of the major manufacturers are considered environmentally unfriendly. This is because the manufacturing process pollutes nature.

Organic Standards

He explained that organic standards means the plants used as raw materials of cosmetics are not sprayed with pesticides or chemical fertilizers. The natural products are still using chemicals in a safe dose that works to increase the performance of cosmetic itself.

Organic cosmetics are also claimed to be more efficacious than natural cosmetics as they contain 40% more antioxidants. Nevertheless, compared with chemical cosmetics high, green cosmetics absorbed faster because of the nature of the ingredients are natural. The advantage for women is to reduce exposure to chemicals on the skin.

Based on these facts, it is fair when women began to turn to cosmetic "green" is. In fact, a survey company in the United states, enthusiasts and care organic cosmetic products increased by 37% among women aged under 35 years old. Then, where is green cosmetics products be found?

If you are keen to see, these products have actually been around us for a long time. The Body Shop for example, and not only providing eco-friendly cosmetic products, but also expand the green movement by doing a variety of environment-related campaigns, such as against animal testing, support community trade, and protect our planet.

Other green cosmetic products issued by Nu Skin's Epoch line that uses natural ingredients. You can also choose cosmetics from Spiezia Organics, Organic Blue, and Green People UK output. Of America, Avalon Natural Products is a brand that has gained the most recent organic certification.

Natural Wealth

Gie Regy ciu, Brand Manager of The Face Shop (TFS) Indonesia, said, traced the history, Asians are very concerned with the care of the body, especially the face, compared to Europeans concerned with fragrance products.

They are committed as a global label which always use natural ingredients as a base for body care products, facial treatments, makeup fragrances as well.

Natural Cosmetics for Health Care


Interest and passion will womankind cosmetics can be traced from the time of Egypt around 4000 BC. In addition, the use of cosmetics can also be found in ancient Greek and Roman society.

While in the Victorian era, the use of cosmetics has come under fire from some quarters, opposite the 20th century saw human beings as a field of cosmetic industry is very profitable and can make money in large quantities with multinational companies. Feminists may be against it, but many believe that by wearing make-up person will appear more youthful, beautiful, and even enhances his sex appeal. Make up can change a person's appearance dramatically and is used by the actors and actresses at large, as well as a doctor who disguise the wound on his patients clinically. However, today is generally the women in the world using cosmetics in significant amounts.

Foundation or powder is used for the face look more smooth and conceal blemishes. A touch of lipstick to add color, shape, and fill in the lips, eye shadow and mascara are used so that the eyes look more character and appear larger. Currently, operating procedures and permanent makeup has also been possible to do thanks to the advancement of science.

Every advance in a field there must be a downside. This happens also in cosmetics. Lipstick can contain chemicals such as iron oxide, while the eye shadow contained carmine dye, a type of animal extracts. On one hand, the line between medicine and cosmetics have become blurred, so it may be when a person uses deodorant to support his appearance, someone else might see as a drug antiperspirant deodorant.

Complex then is, when a government health agency looking cosmetic products as pharmaceuticals, which require a permit and the process for circulating, but in reality cosmetic products actually escaped from supervision. On the other hand, cosmetic trials conducted on animals has been controversial activist for animal rights advocates. Tests in animals including for products such as lipstick or herb that is individualized. With the pressure from activist animal rights protectors, current rules on the use of animals for testing cosmetic ingredients can be suppressed.

Natural and organic cosmetics must be good for humans, is not it? The experts believe that as awareness of the harmful effects of synthetic cosmetic products began to grow, the cosmetic industry started to create a trend to advertise their products as a natural product, despite the fact that not the case. Do we have to worry about it? Yes, because the make-up, even if used outside the human body, will be absorbed by the body.

In fact, research has shown that nearly 60% of what is applied to the skin will be absorbed by the human circulatory system. So maybe the material contained in cosmetic products that contain toxic and will be absorbed by the human body. Several types of natural materials have been reported to cause rashes on the skin if used with some type of a given material. The experts recommend that consumers read the label carefully, do not be lured by promotions delivered, check for the effect is either too short or long term, and make wise choices.

Natural cosmetics should be free from synthetic and only extracts derived from plant oils, gums, essential oils, flower extracts, and herbs all of which is an option that is safe and healthy for the body. Dermatologists recommend that skin care is seen as health care, because being beautiful is not enough if not healthy, right?

Natural Cosmetic Ingredients, Really Effective?


Green tea, mushrooms, soy beans, is not only delicious but also healthy body. Today, a variety of cosmetic products incorporate such materials in the series of natural products. Really Effective?

Drinking green tea is one thing, rub it on the skin of another. According to experts. Since at least the length of the research is still needed to prove the benefits of food ingredients for beauty.

S Leslie Baumann, MD, an expert in cosmetic ingredients that scientific research is carried out by the marketing of beauty is still lacking. But he did not deny that the plants that contain antioxidants in the future will be the most important content in cosmetic products.

Several studies have indeed tested the efficacy of natural plants for beauty. For example, green tea and pomegranates are effective to protect the skin from dangerous sun rays. However, many natural beauty products that claim turned out to contain only a few natural ingredients that will not affect much.

"A drop of the active ingredients from plant extracts in cosmetic products weighing two ounces of almost no influence," said Thomas Bombeli, MD, a member of the International Society of Dermatology. According to him, many products contain natural ingredients and a small amount just for marketing purposes only.

In addition, consumers should understand that the label "natural", "organic", or "natural" is a marketing label that has not been regulated by the government. The experts also believe natural products are not necessarily better than synthetic products.

Some natural ingredients, according to Baumann, have side effects that need to be wary of. For example, essential oils, like rosemary, bargamot, or peppermint, that it can make sensitive skin irritation. "Coconut oil can also cause acne," he said.

Although beauty products made from natural claim to be effective for anti aging, but experts say the products are actually useful to prevent or slow down premature aging, rather than improve the condition of the skin is aging.

If you want to tackle the wrinkles that have already graced the face, Baumann suggested that choose synthetic products.

"Antioxidants work to prevent wrinkles, rather than eliminate the wrinkles that already exist," said Baumann. To improve the condition of the skin, retinoids and vitamin A derived from extracts of citrus fruit produced in the laboratory that should be chosen. "They work more effectively than if you wear a mask made of carrots alone," he said.
