The beauty industry has played a significant role in the state of our planet, with tonnes of packaging ending up in landfills every day and chemicals damaging our oceans. Add that to the unnecessary suffering of animals used in tests and the fact that many ingredients in street skincare products do more harm than good, it’s always been a no brainer to us that green products are the way forward. But if you’re not convinced that organic skincare can be as good a conventional luxury brand lotions and potions, here are just a few things that might help you make up your mind. Green is better for your skin Many of the skincare products you’ll find in the shops or some spas are full of nasty chemicals that are really bad for your skin. The parabens, sulfates and phthalates are common ingredients in big name brands have not only been linked to an increased risk of cancer, but they’re also a nightmare for sensitive skin. Organic skincare products are derived from the gifts we have been given by Mother Nature rather than being cooked up in labs, and we think that’s much better for our skin and the world around us. There’s no compromise on quality Organic skincare products have come on in leaps and bounds over recent years, and they’re now just as luxurious and effective as the big name brands that still test on animals or use synthetic ingredients. Many people find the condition of their skin improving dramatically once they switch to organic skincare, with marked reductions in blemishes, redness and dryness. Ours also have the added bonus of feeling reassuringly expensive, so you’ll never skimp on luxury here. It makes you feel good There’s something that feels really good about sticking to green products.Going organic means you can enjoy the decadent relaxation of a trip to the spa and somehow leave feeling completely virtuous.

It makes sense for your health The past year has made us all more aware of our health, so it makes good sense to stick to products that are good for us.
