5 Common Mistakes To Avoid When Buying Natural Skincare.

When choosing natural skincare, it’s easy to base your decisions on pretty packaging or great smelling products. But are marketing gimmicks and fads distracting you from choosing the right products for your skin? Just having a little bit of know-how can make all the difference in making the smart choice – and ultimately improve the look and health of your complexion.

01.

Avoid Clear
Containers

Light not only degrades the active ingredients (like those vitamins and antioxidants our skin loves), but also decreases a product’s shelf life. Plastic packaging is not only bad for the environment, it does a poor job of protecting natural skincare ingredients. Especially when it comes to oil-based products, steer away from plastic, as oil will degrade the plastic over time.

Avoid Rubber
Droppers

Droppers may make you feel like a mad scientist, but they introduce oxygen and potentially bacteria every time you use your product – rapidly increasing the rate at which your formula will expire, or even worse, become possibly harmful to your skin.

Don’t Buy Based on
Colors or Fragrance

If you do, there’s a strong chance you’re paying for inactive ingredients such as colorants and synthetic fragrance. Sometimes these ingredients can cause irritation and do more harm than good. And when it comes to natural fragrance such as essential oils, always make sure that the formula contains less than 1% as they too can be irritating.

Don’t Fall For
Greenwashing

Ever since natural skincare went from being niche to mainstream, large companies have rushed to cash in, creating products that sound or look natural when indeed they are not. If the top half of the ingredient list doesn’t contain natural ingredients, it’s likely the product isn’t really that natural after all – as ingredients are required to be listed in order of concentration.

Don’t Buy Into
Fear Mongering

If a company is using fear tactics to scare you into pressing the buy button, not only is that a major red flag, but also an indicator that they may not be a trustworthy source for your skincare needs. After all, your skin is your body’s largest organ and it deserves the best, and that includes honesty and integrity.
