The skin is our largest organ. Up to 60% of what you apply to your skin is absorbed into your internal organs. If you knew what toxins non-organic skincare products really contain, you might think twice before using them. Especially on your child's skin.
Non-organic skincare products include synthetic artificial chemicals like mineral oils and laureth sulfate. They can also contain palm oil, petroleum, parabens, and other chemicals that, with long-term use, can cause skin irritation and hormonal imbalance.
The big difference between non-organic and organic skincare is that organic products are made from natural ingredients. Perhaps most importantly – organic ingredients are grown without modified organisms and other additives or chemicals. This means that skincare based solely on organic raw materials is both gentle and harmless to the skin.
Another common ailment in children is allergies. Since organic skincare products do not contain harsh chemicals, they are less likely to cause allergic reactions, inflammations, or irritations. If an allergic reaction occurs when using organic products, it would most likely be due to a natural ingredient, which would be easier to identify.
With organic skincare, you ensure that you get the true nutritional benefits from its ingredients. Natural organic ingredients like coconut oil and thistle oil are known to soothe, nourish, hydrate, and will not harm your child in the long run. And it's not just harmless, it's also safe. When you buy organic skincare products, you are buying cruelty-free products. Products that are not tested on animals. You also contribute to preserving the environment. Since organic products are grown naturally, they are free from chemicals, you also contribute to preserving the environment.
