We all want to stay healthy and want to make healthy choices especially while buying any food items. The pandemic has taught us the importance of good health for us and our loved ones. Now we are more aware of our foods and want to have organic and pesticide-free products and it makes sense also.

But one question always comes to my mind!

Are we making sensible and healthy choices while buying skin and hair care products?

We often ignore it. Right?. We all are in the same boat. We easily get swayed by all the glamour showed in ads and overlook health implications.

In this article, I will explain why it is important to ditch synthetic products and embrace palm oil free products for better skin and health.

Difference Between Synthetic Products And Natural Products

Synthetic products are not made from natural substances rather from chemical or artificial substances. A synthetic substance is a compound that is made artificially through chemical reactions.

Synthetic products are made from synthetic substances like paraben, oxybenzone, toluene, artificial fragrances, phthalates, and other chemicals. These substances are harmful and some of them are even carcinogenic. Synthetic products are cheap and effective but not at all safe.

All top brands you see on the self of your supermarket are producing synthetic products. We always go by the brand and never check the ingredients before buying. The thought of making healthy choices never comes to our mind while buying shampoo or a cleanser.

A natural product is anything that is produced by life and not in the lab. Natural products are made with ingredients that originate naturally and are derived from natural substances like plants, animals, marine, fungi, bacteria, and microorganisms. The natural product does not contain harmful chemicals and is considered safe for the body.

Advantages Of Natural Products

Natural products are not only beneficial for the skin but also for the health and environment. You must be wondering how? Let’s discuss and see all the benefits or advantages natural products have.

Safe For Our body

All skincare products have a direct impact on our bodies. We all know that skin is the largest organ of our body and whatever we apply to get absorbed into the bloodstream. Synthetic products use lots of chemicals in their products like paraben that are dangerous and through our skin mixes with our blood.

On the other hand, natural products are made with natural substances that are beneficial to us and don’t harm us even if they get to mix up in our blood. That’s why natural products are considered safe for our skin and body.

Good For Our Skin

Harmful chemicals in synthetic products cause skin irritation and create skin diseases in the long run. Some people also develop allergies over time.

Natural products contain antioxidants and they have a soothing effect on the skin. Due to the use of natural substances, natural products help to retain good microbes. It does not cause any irritation or allergies and has a moisturizing effect on the skin for a longer time,

They Are Ecofriendly

When we use synthetic products, harmful chemicals eventually go down the drain and get absorbed into the earth and water, and comes back to us again. While producing such products chemicals get released into the air also. Not only we are causing harm to the environment we are making life difficult for animals also.

While making natural products no harmful chemicals are used, so it is more eco-friendly and doesn’t pollute the air, earth, or water. It is very safe for animals also.

Long-lasting Benefits

Synthetic products are cheap and effective but it has an adverse effect on our body in the long run. Consistent application of such products creates many skin diseases. Cases have been found where it is seen that some products can cause cancer also.

Natural products are on the other hand may not have an immediate effect but definitely have long-lasting benefits. It keeps your skin healthy with the retention of good microbes.

Good For Your Organs

You must be surprised why am I talking about organs. Right? I have a good reason to say so.

To suppress the smell of chemicals in products companies use artificial fragrances. These fragrances through our nose enter into our body and create toxins, especially in the lungs and liver.

This is not the case with natural products. They have a natural smell and don’t create any kind of toxins.

Conclusion

With so many benefits one must not think before buying natural products even if it is a bit pricy than its counterpart. We need to be more sensible towards ourselves and our environment and make healthy choices while buying skin and hair care products. We must choose sustainable beauty.
