Your skin also wants organic nutrition
We are now all aware that we bear the responsibility of protecting the environment we live in and share with other living things in the best way possible. Undoubtedly, reviewing our consumption habits and renewing our routines to give direction to change, even if only small, are among the things we can do for our future.
Looking at product labels while shopping is becoming one of our new normals. In this article, we will explain exactly what the organic product certificate on the label of our products tells us.
Many of the ingredients of traditional cosmetic products consist of artificial molecules prepared from petroleum oil in order to provide cheap production conditions. Since the cultivation, harvesting and extraction of plants are very costly processes, simple "copies" of molecules are obtained through industrial processes, and these copies are not only not useful, but also produce contents that are far from natural components and whose harms are questionable. The negative consequences of wastewater and garbage generated during production on the environment are another topic.
Certified organic cosmetic products are products that do not contain chemicals that pose a threat to human health and create environmental pollution. These harmful substances; pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, genetically modified organisms and so on. Although we can now list the most well-known substances such as Paraben, SLS, Phthalate and Aluminum by heart, it is obvious that long research is required to check all the contents on product labels.
When you receive organic certified products, you know that the product is produced with organic farming outputs and does not contain any components harmful to human health and the environment. These are products that are in true harmony with our organic structure. In other words, turning to organic certified products means not only caring about the skin health of yourself and your loved ones, but also contributing to the reduction of petrochemical production and supporting sustainable production types for the future.
Although we often encounter the phrase "organic" or "natural" on product labels, we may be exposed to many false or misleading claims because there are not yet established standards in the inspection of personal care and cosmetic products in Turkey and many countries around the world. Therefore, what you need to look for to ensure that the products you choose comply with organic standards is the certificate received from organizations accredited to approve organic production, such as COSMOS Organic. There are logos such as Ecocert, Cosmos Organic and/or certification number on the product. Because with certification, both the entire process and all raw materials that the products will contain are inspected and controlled by these organizations. The use of any raw materials harmful to health is not allowed. The use of nanoparticles and production with nanotechnology are also prohibited in certified organic personal care products.
