Organic Skincare
Skincare products that are organically derived are free from harsh chemicals and preservatives that can irritate or damage your skin. They often use natural ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil and aloe vera to nourish your skin. They also may contain anti-aging properties or natural exfoliants like jojoba oil to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Organic skincare products are better for the environment because they use natural ingredients that don’t rely on pesticides or fertilizers to grow. They also are generally less packaged than their non-organic counterparts, which means they create less waste and don’t release toxic chemicals into the water, air and soil.
While there is a difference between ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ beauty products, some materials can’t be organically grown or harvested, including minerals found in eyeshadows. However, many organic skincare products make a commitment to ethical and sustainable sourcing practices and work in partnership with small-scale farms to support local economies. They also don’t promote products that contain harmful chemicals and skin-lightening bleaches.
Organic Haircare
The harsh chemicals that are found in non-organic hair products may give your hair a certain look right now, but they will damage the health of your scalp and hair over time. They also strip the hair of its natural oils leaving it dry, lifeless and dull.
The best organic haircare products use ingredients like proteins, vitamins, fruit extracts and essential oils to nourish the hair and scalp. They are also biodegradable, so they won’t pollute the environment when they’re used and disposed of.
Many salons are starting to move away from corporate chemically enhanced products. One such salon is Bangz Hair Studio, which has sourced all-natural organic products from All-Nutrient and Davines. This is to help both their clients’ hair and the planet! Organic products are gentle and won’t irritate the skin or scalp. They are also non-greasy and fast absorbing. Organic rosehip oil, for instance, is packed with antioxidants, fatty acids and vitamin A and C to hydrate the skin and hair.
Organic Baby Care
The organic baby care industry is booming as parents are increasingly aware of the harmful effects that conventional chemicals can have on their babies’ sensitive skin. Organic products are free from toxic ingredients such as phthalates, parabens, and formaldehyde, and are therefore gentler on baby’s delicate skin.
Earth Mama’s line of safe, nontoxic, and natural products includes EWG-verified organic diaper balm, face cream, sun protection, salves, and more. Their formulas are created by a nurse, mother, and self-described “plant lady” using nourishing organic oils such as shea butter, jojoba oil, and calendula flower extract to heal, soothe, and protect.
When starting your own organic baby care products business, it’s important to conduct thorough market research to understand the needs and purchasing habits of your target audience. Determining your pricing strategy will also help ensure profitability while maintaining a high level of quality. Develop a strong online presence to connect with your customers and promote your brand.
Essential Oils
Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts, and each oil contains a different mix of chemicals. The scent molecules travel from the nose to the brain’s olfactory nerves, triggering emotions and impacting the amygdala (emotional center).
When used in aromatherapy, they stimulate the limbic system and may help relieve anxiety, stress, depression or fear. They also help reduce pain and promote healthy sleep and a sense of well-being.
Applied to the skin, they can promote detoxification, reduce inflammation and strengthen the immune system. Some, such as fennel and ylang-ylang, act as mild diuretics to encourage urination and excretion of toxins.
It’s important to use essential oils with caution, as they can irritate the skin or cause an allergic reaction if used undiluted. The best way to use them is to combine them with a carrier oil such as coconut, olive or sesame. The oils should be kept away from sunlight and heat to prolong their shelf life, says Dechen.
