Organic skin care is only best if there are no added synthetic chemicals to the skin care product. For example, if I make a wonderful mixture of organic yarrow, comfrey, calendula, rose, and chamomile, all USDA certified organic, but then I add a little bit of synthetic chemicals, that product is no longer organic.

What is not in the product, is just as important as what is in the product. You want organic ingredients for many reasons. First, to insure there are no pesticides in the product from the agricultural production methods. Second, you want the full plant constituents to be in the product, these are the healing, anti-inflammatory parts of the plant, you want to positively effect your skin.

Third, you want products that are protecting Mother Nature and Earth. Organic agricultural production methods that are used to produce organic skin care, is not only good for you, your health, and your skin, but also for the entire planet.

Fourth, you want to help support the organic grower. Organic farming is at least 10 times the work of conventional. (how do I know this? I grew up on a conventional farm.)

In addition, do you want to support organic farmers or chemical factories?

Fifth, organic skin care products are best. Organic skin care products give women the long term results they desire. These plants have the natural chemical constituents to heal the skin, improve the skin’s actual functions. ) More on the role of plants in skin care later. ) Organic skin care products work better to give you the natural results you want for your skin.
