Why Natural Cosmetics?

The skin is a living, permeable organ covering the whole body. Anything which is applied can be absorbed. So we need to take care about the products we use on our skins.  There are various chemmicals used in popular brands of cosmetics which are known to be irritants and carcinogens.  These chemicals are synthetics or petroleum based.

There are three questions we need to ask about the products we consider buying:

1. What ingredients are used
2. Why each ingredient included
3. What effect does each ingredient have on the skin

Now it may be that a particular product has no adverse effect during the short term.  However, what happens long term?
