Why should you care what ingredients are in your body care products? Let’s talk about the difference between natural ingredients and everything else.
When we refer to natural ingredients, we are talking about ingredients drawn directly from Mother Earth. These include fibers and seeds cultivated in the natural world, extracted only minimally and never synthesized in a lab.
We hear the word “natural,” and instinctively think that it means “better.” There is something about the natural world that draws us toward it, exciting our passions, filling us with the confidence that our health and wellness will be alright.
Why is this? What does it mean to use natural ingredients?
For anything topical, from soaps to lotions to oils, natural ingredients will put less stress on your skin, which in turn leads to less irritation and fewer breakouts. The goal with skin care is to rejuvenate your skin, not destroy it.
If your skin is sensitive, this point is of the utmost importance. No matter what your level of skin sensitivity, chemicals (also called “artificial ingredients”) are causing damage, which will affect how you appear to other people throughout the day and more importantly, how you feel.
If you expose your skin to harsh chemicals over long periods of time, you can cause serious damage. There are many artificial ingredients that will seem harmless at first, but as you continue to use them, you will notice a major impact on your skin. You don't want to be in a position where you regret not seeking out all-natural options.
We all strive to preserve our natural beauty - but it is important to realize that artificial ingredients are not the answer. The transparency that comes with using only natural ingredients will allow you to make wise decisions. After all, we buy skin care products to care for our skin...not damage it.
To optimize your self care routine, you need to put real thought into what you are selecting. Rather than going with the option that seems most popular or the one that has produced the most expensive television commercial, you need to think about this decision rationally for yourself. You are, after all, interested in putting your best face on for the world to see – and rightly so! You know how incredible you are, and you deserve all the splendor that comes with all-natural ingredients.
This is about treating yourself well. Every time you use natural ingredients, you reaffirm your dedication to your self-care routine. As you use a product that you know you can trust, you are reinforcing your own self-love and confidence. Something about using a product you know you can trust just feels right.
This is also about taking care of our planet. By both respecting the natural ingredients that Earth has given us and by avoiding the harmful chemicals found in many in commercial products, you are taking a stand. This may seem dramatic, but it’s true: you are turning yourself into a role model simply by using products you are deeply familiar with as having only all-natural ingredients.
Now, how do you get to that point? How do you look at an ingredient and feel so sure of what is in it? To start, you can read the ingredients label. Go through every ingredient that you see listed on the label, and if there is any word that you do not recognize, look it up. Unless every ingredient is natural, that is not the ingredient for you.
Also, be careful about the tricky ways that some brands describe their ingredients: “goat milk” is goat milk, and nothing else. Also, look out for parabens, formaldehyde, phosphates, sulfates, alcohol, and gluten, and avoid them at all costs.
At Legends Creek Farm, we are devoted to honest, straightforward ingredient labeling because we want you to know exactly what is found in our products. We are proud of the ingredients that go into our soaps, lotions, oils, herbal salves, and body butters – plus all our other skin and body care products.
