Skin wraps and protects our bodies. It constitutes a vibrant living tissue system and has the outstanding ability to absorb products applied in part or completely and carry them into bloodstream. According to an estimate, up to 60 per cent of the products used on the skin are absorbed and carried into the circulatory system. This information about the way the skin functions raises concerns about the possible long term effects of cosmetics, with chemicals in them, on the skin referred to as “chemical cocktail effect”. They could be irritating or carcinogenic. Avoiding these kinds of substances reduces the possibility of exposure to harmful cosmetic ingredients. This underlines the relevance of organic skin care product.
Organic skin and hair care is gaining in popularity owing to the relative safety that these products afford to the user. There are many organic skin and hair care product ingredients. Skin care range includes organic safflower oil, purified water, organic avocado oil, organic cocoa butter, non-GMO lecithin, organic sugar cane ethanol, lime, olive extract, grapefruit extract, sclerotium gum, organic orange and vanilla extract. Organic hair care products include shampoo-desert flower fro normal to dry hair, lemon myrtle for normal to oily hair, citrus hair rinse, herbal hair conditioner, hair repair and hair styling gel.
Chlorination could be causing heart disease and cancer. Chlorine creates Trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloforms. These substances are potential pollutants and can lead to the production of excess free radicals in human bodies, which damage body tissues. Regular exposure to chlorine water can lead to the onset of aging prematurely, much in the same manner as being exposed to sun. Chlorine affects hair too. Beauty salon mangers maintain that one out of two clients comes with chlorine damage to their hair. The effect is similar to oxidation from peroxide burning, except that chlorine adds density to the hair. Chlorine causes breakage and hair splitting and causes hair to shine like fiberglass. Chlorine affected hair gets tangled and makes combing difficult.
Organic skin care products cleanse, exfoliate and condition the skin. Organic cleansers that contain orange peel oil, calendula and marshmallow remove the top layer of dead tissue, sweat and excess oils. There are different types of cleansers such as balancing cleansers, rejuvenating cleansers, purifying cleansers and soothing cleansers. Thus, organic skin and hair care products help in maintaining skin and hair well.
