Non Toxic Cosmetics

When science journals come up with articles about the presence of zinc in lip colors or arsenic in face creams, it might give you a shock: what is part and parcel of your daily needs is all toxic! But then it is only human to believe the various advertisements glorifying all those toxic cosmetics simply by getting some of your favorite models or film stars to endorse them with their glowing and stunning looks! Little will these well-paid and so-called spokespersons really want to know whether or not the cosmetics are toxic or not, leaving people to make their own choices. Not knowing the depth of the pothole that you are jumping into, you just might keep collecting anything that comes your way only to look younger or fairer! However, what you hardly realize while battling with too many beauty products is that these chemical cosmetics are only inviting more harm. Your body, which needs to be pampered with the best, is instead being threatened by an overuse of hazardous chemicals, killing your skin in the process.

Benefits Of Non-Toxic Cosmetics

• That dab of powder may surely hide some of those unwanted marks on your face, but during the process your face is actually taking on a lot more unnecessary chemical trash. And you were blaming the climate and pollutants for all that skin irritation! Non-toxic cosmetics help keep your skin safe and healthy.
• The presence of harmful chemicals dangerously impacts your delicate skin. Many skin allergies that people face are due to the indiscriminate use of some of the most common types of creams and moisturizers containing these undesirable chemicals in them. While toxic cosmetics ruin your skin with problems where there were none to begin with, non-toxic cosmetics do no such harm.
• Non-toxic cosmetics suit almost every skin type unlike toxic (chemical containing) cosmetics that are suited only for specific skin types. In most cases, manufacturers add specific chemicals in order to get better sales margins. But it is not the same for non-toxic cosmetics as you are sure to find a perfect formulation here for any skin type, be it oily, dry or combination skin.
• Non-toxic cosmetics will not leave a hole in your pocket for sure as they are a lot less expensive than those branded and often highly toxic cosmetics available at large showrooms.
• There is rarely any chance of a side-effect from non-toxic cosmetics, in stark contrast to toxic cosmetics, as most of what goes into making non-toxic cosmetics is by and large side-effect free.
• If you are an animal lover you sure will be inspired by non-toxic cosmetics as toxic cosmetics are quite commonly tested on animals before being sold in the market. This is not the case with non-toxic cosmetics.
• For nature-lovers, non-toxic cosmetics come as a real relief because the atmosphere will be spared a lot of pollution when you opt for non-toxic cosmetics, and you will also have been part of the pro-life revolution for a safer earth.
