It Seems It is increasingly hard to try to choose skincare products thathave The Natural and organic ingredients we want. Reading the labels of product Can Be Difficult - deciphering rolling microscopic text, long chemical names and Latin terminology. By law skincare companies must declare ingredients in Latin though not people speak Latin today. Labels can overpriced conceal a low percentage of ingredients. Some certified organic products might contain 'Less than 10% organic ingredients, the remaining amount being cheap filler.
Consider the ingredients

But looking closer at the Main Ingredient it turned out to be a silicon based compound That May be Associated with environmental toxicity of according to Skin Deep Database. Silicones in hair products can deliver great results at first but over time dry and damage your hair.
Start slowly
Start by educating yourself on the ingredients inside the products you use every day. Ingredients are always Listed in proportional order with the highest Quantities at the top of the list. Does it contain 'endocrine disrupting chemicals, allergens or carcinogens? If it does, ask yourself if it's worth it. Do you really want to ask exposing your body to hazardous chemicals When there are so many incredible, safe alternatives out there? Do not forget our power as Consumers to influence change. We can effect change if we act strategically.
