Nature's Way - Organic Skin Care Products

The advantage of going organic in skin care is you are minimizing your skin's intake of harmful chemicals present in most synthetic skin care products. There have been studies noting the adverse effects of substances especially those derived from petroleum and others that are possibly carcinogens. Whether this is just a hoax from organic skin care products manufacturers to lure the public into their solutions, you'll find the difference in the rise of cancer incidences in modern societies compared with the indigenous populations. Whatever the factors are, here are some organic skin care products for those who opt to go organic.

Here's your clue to what organic means: they are food grown in the absence of synthetic pesticides, insecticides, fertilizers, herbicides, hormones, or other artificial substances for three consecutive years the minimum; no added artificial flavors or colors, and excludes GMOs.

To help you out further, fortunately, in 2002 the US Department of Agriculture passed a new standard in classifying organic products labeling. "100% organic" means the product contains "all" organic ingredients, which may bear the organic seal of USDA. "Organic" constitutes products that have at least 95% organic ingredients, which may still bear the USDA organic seal. And "Made with Organic Ingredients" pertain to products with at least 70% organic ingredients and no longer qualify for a USDA organic seal. These labeling should broaden your knowledge on which organic skin care product to select.

Miessence's line of organic skin care products claim to be "absolutely" free from synthetic detergents, colors or fragrances, artificial preservatives, petroleum by-products, tar derivatives or GMOs (genetically modified organisms). Their organic skin care products also skipped animal testing, according to the makers. The active ingredients in Miessence organic skin care products are orange peel oil, calendula, geranium, chamomile, and hops, lemon peel oil, witch hazel and burdock, bergamot, lavender, organic herbs, water-soluble botanicals, organic seed butters and oils for their moisturizers, organic flower extracts, horse tail, gotu kola, organic Echinacea, plantain, and so much more. Miessence organic skin care products are available in facial cleansers, facial scrubs, moisturizers, toners, organic skin serums, organic skin treatments, skin masks, hydrating and mists.

The ingredients they use in the organic skin care products can also serve as your guide in choosing other products available over-the-counter. Remember to read the back labels. Other advantages in using organic skin care products are that they are said to slow down the aging process in contrast to their artificial counterparts. Moreover, being organic they may be more tolerated by and friendly to the body's vital processes.
