There must be good reasons for using a natural skin care cream, everyone seems to be doing so now, but what are they? And what exactly is “natural” anyway?

Lets consider that last question. What is natural skin care? Sadly although there are many many products on the skin care market that are labeled as natural there is no formal definition of what it is.

What is the difference between a natural skin care product, a botanical skin care product, an organic skin care product and a herbal skin care product? Is there any difference?

But whilst there is no single one definition of what natural means in this context that doesn’t mean that it is meaningless. It just means that there isn’t a single definition.

So I tend to use my own definition when asked this question. But to formulate your own definition I need to first consider why people would want to use a natural skin care product. Why would they buy these over “ordinary” mainstream skin care products?

There’s a simple answer. Most of the big name skin care products that you see on the shelves have one or more, often many, synthetic chemicals that some scientist somewhere has found performs a function. Some of them are found no where in nature.

And that’s often because these synthetic chemical products are cheap to manufacture.

Lets take Parabens. A class of chemicals used as a preservative. They are very cheap to manufacture and are used extensively in many products. But some scientists consider that there is a risk of cancer from long term use of Parabens.

There’s very many ingredients used in mainstream skin care products that are considered to be a risk to health from long term use. Chemical (and petrochemical) ingredients that many people don’t want to be putting on their skin.

So if people are turning to natural, or organic, or botanical, or herbal skin care product, its usually because they are worried about the chemicals found in mainstream skin care products, and the risks they may pose to their health.

So considering this I can formulate a definition. A natural skin care product is one composed only of ingredients found naturally and which are known to be safe for human use. And there’s more.

Natural skin care products should work as well or much better than mainstream skin care products. (That’s often not that hard as many mainstream skin care products don’t work very well.)

Surprising though it may sound the best natural skin care products work better than mainstream products.

So despite the fact that there is no formal definition of what a natural skin care cream is there are still powerful reasons to use one, and that’s why natural skin care is one of the fastest growing segments of the market.

They’re safer and work better than the big brands.

But there’s one brand that stands out as the best natural skin care cream on the market. Visit my website to find out which one.
