Your skin is the largest organ in your body and is your body’s interface with the external world. When it comes to putting our best faces forward and choosing what cosmetics to use on our skin, self-education is the key. All the information is out there for us; it’s just a matter of sorting through the hype and finding the right fit for your skin. The study of toxic substances is still in its infancy, with much research and testing being inconclusive in regards to long-term effects on health. It is for this very reason that many consumers are choosing not to take the risk and opting for products with natural ingredients such as vitamins and antioxidants that are proven to be beneficial for our complexions. Many products in today’s cosmetic market often claim to be something they are not, so it’s always important to read labels carefully. When curating skincare products, we only select high-quality natural ingredients with a proven track record of being beneficial for skin. ​
Naturally sourced ingredients are what we call ingredients that haven’t changed much from how it occurs in the identified source material. Examples of natural ingredient would be essential oils.
Naturally derived ingredients have been modified from their original state through additional processing. This is generally done to improve the ingredient’s safety or efficacy. An example of a naturally derived ingredient would be Guar Hydroxypropyl.
