 The organic cosmetics highly demanded and popular currently with many women is justtheevidence to prove that the consuming society stepped onto the new and quality level.
Few years ago top models would
confessed in their love to organic cosmetics, and there were rare people who
knew what they were talking about. What is organic makeup? Something like
home-made creams to store in the fridge? Or the cosmetic made by order? Is it natural cosmetic or something to refer to
phytotherapy?
Organic cosmetics
are decorative makeup made to comply with the strict standards that are free
from hazardous chemical substances. The components are only natural. Besides, the
plants that are in composition of such cosmetics are grown without any
pesticides, fertilizers and they grow in ecologically friendly areas.
This is the
difference between the organic cosmetics from the natural, when the natural cosmetics
has more components of herbal origin but no one cares of their quality and
these components are not certified.
Organic cosmetics
compose of herbal components for 95%. And only in this case the manufacturer is
eligible to label the pack of the products with the sign Organic. If the
product contains of organic components of more than 70%, then it is marked as «Made
with organic». And the certification sign is compulsory here, like USDA or
BDIH. The different marks are also printed on packs like «Not tested on
animals» with the image of a rabbit.
You may get
embarrassed with the 95% with the rest 5% of chemical components in the jars
with organic components. 100% organic cosmetic is possible to make at home only
and store in the fringe. 5% of non-herbal components is the synthetic substances
that provide the required consistence and the longer expiry date (from
half-year to a year). And such cosmetic does not contain any toxic substances
and should be stored in the fridge.
The higher
percentage of organic components ensures a good care of the skin, its valuable
nourishment and renewal. Besides, it is freely used by highly allergic
individuals with the most complicated forms of diseases. People suffering from
such unpleasant diseases as acne, eczema, rosacea and psoriasis will find the
organic cosmetics a good support to the basic therapy while the most medications
are not recommended be used with the ordinary cosmetics.
We all see
the advantages of the organic cosmetics. However, not every wholesome and ecologically
friendly product turns into the item of status. The organic cosmetics are
reputed for its reference to the line of «green» protection of planet.
In the early
70s the English brand The Body Shop refused to test their products on animals
and introduced the bio-destroyable packing. We all understand that the easiest
way to test the allergenicity of the new lipsticks is on the rabbit pupils,
though there are less cost-based methods. The plastic shampoo container may be
disposed and left to destroy on the earth for the following 300 years. The same
time is required for the shampoo made from chemicals to destroy in the drainage
system.
The
biologically destroyed package is not heavy to use. For instance, the reputed Pangea
Organics soap is marketed packed in paper made free from wood with the seeds.
After the package is disposed, it grows in the earth. However, the alternative packaging
is not always feasible and in this case companies receive the tubes and
containers from the products they manufacture for processing or replace several
packages for a new product.
Such
products are also demanded for their prices, they cost in the range from 10 USD
and higher. And here is the formula of success, including the low cost, clear
concept in regards to protection of animals and environment, as well as the
effective skin care.
In the
meantime, when you see the mark Organic on the package of almost every product
you see in the store. Marketing analysts perceived the idea of healthy life
style and they regularly promote «organic detergent» and «organic enamel». There
are few companies that manufacture certified organic cosmetics and most popular
include Dr. Hauschka, Weleda, Doux Me, The Body Shop, Primavera, Pangea
Prganics, John Masters Organics, Living Nature, Stella McCartney and some more.
