But, at least the numbers are growing.
Natural skin treatments are becoming increasingly popular according to recent surveys. If you know anything about cosmetic ingredients, you realize that some of them don't know what they are doing. Some environmental toxins cannot be avoided. They are usually caused by exposure to artificial preservatives and added fragrances. The down side is that the increased popularity has caused an increase in the number of companies that claim to provide these products.
The purpose of using only naturally occurring ingredients on our bodies is to reduce our risk of allergic reactions and reduce our total exposure to toxins.
It is the naturally occurring fragrances that are a big. We would have to stop eating, drinking and breathing in order to avoid them all. All you have to do is arvy the label of ingredients to see that. Allergic reactions can be caused by naturally occurring compounds. But, we can avoid health and beauty aids that contain toxins. They still account for a very small percentage of the total annual revenue for the cosmetic industry. |
