When it comes to choosing a skincare product, there are many factors to consider. Is the brand ethical? Do they use high-quality ingredients? Will their formulas work for my skin type? Does the price fit my budget? And of course, one of the things that comes first for some people: are the products natural or not?
As a natural cosmetics brand, today we will tell you firsthand about the advantages and disadvantages of this type of products. At the end of this article, you will have the answer to the question “Is it worth paying a little more for natural cosmetics?” Let's get started!
BENEFITS
More efficient
Natural skin care products contain mostly natural ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals, plant proteins, essential oils, and fruit extracts. Products with formulas that are naturally derived, pure, and with potent ingredients are a much more effective solution for nourishing and healing your skin than those that are full of harmful chemicals. To summarize, natural products are much more effective due to the fact that they actually nourish your skin. Synthetic products usually use much smaller percentages of active ingredients, and the rest of the formula is full of parabens, sulfates, and chemical preservatives that do nothing good for your skin.
Safe for the body and organism
Although our skin acts as a barrier, it's also a sponge, soaking up everything we put on it and taking it directly into our bloodstream. So when you apply products full of artificial ingredients and chemicals to your skin, a lot of it gets absorbed directly into your bloodstream. Sounds scary when you think about it, right?
Every day, each of us is likely to apply, spray, or clean with over 10 different products. And while these product formulas are advertised as completely safe by cosmetic companies, the doses we are exposed to over time are not. If this is the first time you've heard this information, don't be surprised, no one wants you to know, and that's why very few brands talk about it.
DISADVANTAGES
To be honest, for us, natural cosmetics have no drawbacks, but here we have highlighted some of the things that people often consider "inconvenient" when it comes to natural products.
Reduced shelf life
Natural skin care products use natural preservatives instead of synthetic ones, and because these natural preservatives don't preserve the products as long as synthetic ones, natural skin care typically has a shorter shelf life.

A scent we are not used to
When choosing natural products, it is important to know that they will also have a natural scent, which is different and many times more intense than the artificial one. Don’t be shocked when you open a new product and it smells like freshly cut oranges. The scent of our lavender cleansing foam, for example, has sometimes been in the “dislike” category because it is quite different from the familiar artificial lavender scent. We have used lavender oil in our foam, the aroma of which transports you directly to the lavender field and soothes your senses. Unfortunately, our receptors are used to natural smells and they often seem strong and irritating to us, but these are the scents that our nature gives us and we adore them.
It is important to note that harmful chemicals can damage our health, be potentially carcinogenic, and negatively affect our endocrine system.
Our products are created with modern technologies in synergy with nature. With the help of a professional team of cosmetologists, we have developed the lightest and most effective formulas with over 97% natural ingredients of sustainable origin, without parabens, sulfates and harmful chemicals! The creation process was difficult, long and we learned a lot from it. That is why we are sharing information with you that we think will be useful to you. Creating a natural product is a much more expensive, slow and laborious process, because balancing formulas without these harmful chemicals is much more complicated. But the end result is definitely worth it!
In our products you will find over 40 highly effective natural ingredients!
