The Better Choice: Natural Makeup Vs Chemicals In Cosmetics 💅 💄👄

Similar to your body, your skin absorbs everything that is topically applied on it. Whilst you invest in the best skincare treatments for a healthier complexion, it is also key to apply the best quality of makeup on your skin to keep up with its health. Natural makeup is all the hype these days but the word ‘natural’ is used too often by conventional makeup brands and has lost its meaning in translation. Confused? Read on as to understand the difference between natural, organic and chemical makeup.

How Does Organic Makeup Differ From Natural Makeup?

When a makeup product is labelled as ‘certified organic’, its ingredients claim to be grown and sourced using organic methods – it must be grown without pesticides, GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) chemical fertilizers or sulphates.

However, labelling a makeup product as natural translates to it being sourced from plant extracts or animal by-products including Cow’s milk, Ghee and more. Most conventional makeup brands use the term ‘natural’ to promote their formulation and may include some ingredients that should be avoided for your skin. Synthetic ingredients may have the properties to boost your skin but some of them may even be toxic.

What Are Some Ingredients To Avoid While Choosing Makeup?

Lead

A chemical element used in cosmetic lip products and externally applied cosmetics. Its effects have been studied on the human body and when used above a certain level, it shows toxic effects in every organ system. However, no amount of lead is safe for human consumption.

Sodium Laureth Sulfate

Commonly found in cream-based cosmetics including foundation and concealer. It helps the skin absorb the makeup and set better but its benefits are not enough to overlook its repercussions. Sulfate can irritate sensitive skin and cause acne with regular usage.

Retinol

This wonder skincare ingredient is a boon for anti-aging but it is not meant to be used as a part of your makeup look. When exposed to the sunlight, retinol becomes carcinogenic. This family of Vitamin A is only meant for night time use so we suggest steering clear of them in your cosmetics.

Petroleum distillates

Many leading brands use this ingredient in the mascara formulations, which is often found in oil refineries. This hazardous ingredient can irritate the delicate eye area and cause dermatitis.

We encourage you to make the better choice for your skin and internal health with Ayurvedic makeup that is hand-crafted with stringent quality checks, using fresh herbs, fruits and natural scents. Discover Forest Essentials’ new Natural Makeup Collection now!

Meaningful Spring Cleaning

               Spring is here! Before we can greet the newfound sunshine with ease, we’ll have to face the facts—it’s time for some good ol’ fashioned spring cleaning. Whether or not putting in some elbow grease is part of your springtime routine, there’s no better time to do deep cleaning. Why? Because spring is all about new life and freshness, of course! Plus, who wants a grungy, dusty home, while allergens are already filling the air? If the thought of a tidy house isn’t enough to convince you to embrace spring cleaning, maybe the idea of giving back will. This year, donate some of the material items that are cluttering your space to charity! The purpose and process of spring cleaning can have both your best interests and the interests of others in mind, as well; spread the word! Kitchen If you’ve been buying (or making!) canned goods like you’re 100% sure that the apocalypse is on the horizon, it’s time to cle...
