Since our skin absorbs what we put on it using safe organic cosmetics greatly reduces the amount of toxic chemicals and harmful synthetic ingredients that enter our bodies, which decreases the risk of serious health problems.
Skin Deep, a study by Environmental Working Group, states that the average person uses nearly 10 personal care products containing an average of 126 unique ingredients each day. The study also found that of the more than 10,000 ingredients used in making personal care products, only around 89% have been assessed for safety. So, we are exposing ourselves to harmful ingredients several times every day.
Using nontoxic organic cosmetics not only decreases our immediate exposure to harmful chemicals, but reduces the amount washed down our drains and into our water supply and earth. Also, the more organic products purchased, the more organic ingredients needed, increasing the need for organic farming methods.
And maybe by using safe organic products on our children we can raise more aware, healthy adults.
