Organic vs Traditional Cosmetics – Which One’s are the Best?

There is a so many different types of makeup and cosmetics on the market now. It can be overwhelming to find the right make up for you and your skin. Then throw in whether to use an organic product or traditional cosmetics and you really have your work cut out for you. So here are some things to think about when choosing your next cosmetics product.

Organic vs Traditional Cosmetics

* Organic cosmetics use only naturally obtained fragrances whereas traditional cosmetics use chemicals or synthetics to fragrance their makeup products. You can look on the products for the official USDA Certified Organic seal of approval.

* Organic makeup contains no artificial ingredients and no chemical preservatives. To be labeled as 100% organic, all ingredients need to be sourced from organic. All organic makeup is sourced from natural plant-based ingredients that are also organic in nature. They must meet strict standards in how they are formulated, processed, packaged and distributed.

* Organic and Natural cosmetics are traditionally good for your skin and have helpful skincare benefits. Their traditional counterparts are often laden with harmful and harsh chemicals which can damage your skin. Not all cosmetics are created equally, even among the sub-categories.

* Even if the product is organic, natural or traditional you can still have allergic reactions to it. Just because it is labeled as “organic” and/or “natural” you can still have issues with it when it comes to use. Read all labels, including the fine little print and do research to find out what the ingredients are and if they have any benefits to them.
