The Beginner's Guide to Organic Skin Care Products By Jason P. Michaels

Can you imagine a world filled with skin care products that cause ZERO negative side effects? Skin care products that are made with 100% all-natural ingredients that work in harmony with your body's natural processes? The relief of choosing a skin care product that will most likely provide the results you are looking for?

What I'm referring to here is the organic skin care product market. And if many regular skin care manufacturers follow the path that many organic skin care product manufacturers are currently, then the skin care product market will be absolutely revolutionized. However, it's unlikely that this will happen anytime soon.

The problem with the skin care market now is: There are too many companies producing low-cost, low-quality products and selling them at low prices in locations that are easily accessible to consumers. Do you think they're going to stop selling these products? NO! But we naturally as humans look for the best deal we can get. So these extremely low quality, low priced products are being used by hundreds of thousands of people. And you know what the sad part is? We have no idea what ingredients are being used in them!

This is why the organic skin care market is really taking off. Many people are now realizing that they are getting what they pay for- cheap products, with cheap ingredients, that produce cheap results (or lack thereof). Unfortunately, most of the people that are using organic skin care products now are using them because regular skin care products were reacting negatively to their skin and body.
What ALL CONSUMERS NEED TO KNOW is they can easily avoid the negative results and side-effects of using a skin care product by using organic and all natural products. Sure they may be a little bit expensive now, but that's only because they contain the best ingredients from the best sources that produce the best results.

Breakthrough ingredients like Functional Keratin (a patented ingredient known as CynergyTK), extracted from the wool of New Zealand sheep, that can be converted to natural keratin, which you already have in your body, and made readily available to the skin. It also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in your skin, which allows your skin to stay firm and elastic. Many skin care products now claim to have collagen and elastin in their products. However, collagen and elastin molecules are way to large to be absorbed through you pores, leaving the molecules sitting on your skin and making them absolutely useless!

Another great organic skin care product ingredient is Nanobelle CoenzymeQ10. CoenzymeQ10 (CoQ10) is a vitamin-like substance found in every cell of your body responsible for efficient energy production and protecting capacity, or antioxidant power. CoQ12 is actually used in many skin care products now, but very few of them contain a sufficient concentration of it in a form that can effectively penetrate the skin. Nanobelle CoenzymeQ10 though is a special 'nano-emulsion' form of CoQ10 that can penetrate deep down into your skin. And once again, the "effective" CoQ10 found in most skin care products sits on the surface of your skin, providing no benefit whatsoever. Nanobelle Coenzyme10 also has very powerful antioxidant properties and is proven to counteract free radical damage to your cells and even protect your skin against the sun's harmful UV-A radiation.
One more powerful organic skin care product ingredient I'll share with you here is active manuka honey. Since ancient times, honey has be used for its wonderful healing properties on the skin. Active manuka honey, exclusively found in New Zealand, has significantly high levels of antioxidants that protect and stimulate your immune system. It can penetrate deep into your skin, nourishing and rejuvenating it, giving you younger and softer looking skin. It'll even strengthen collagen and protect your body from free radicals. It also has amazing antibacterial properties, making it effective at healing blemishes, including acne and even eczema and psoriasis. Truly power stuff.

Can you see the power that organic skin care products are bringing to the market? Can you think of any reason NOT to invest in organic skin products over regular products? Sure they are a little bit more expensive. But if you jump in the market now, and spread the word about organic products, then a higher demand will bring down the prices to a well-affordable level. It's all economics. It all makes sense. Organic skin care is the future of effective skin care.

Natural and Organic Skincare - Why Mainstream Cosmetics Are So Dangerous By Danette Newton

Natural & Organic Skincare Products VS Drug/Department Store Brands

"Cosmetics are the least regulated products under the Federal Food, Drug, andCosmetic Act (FFDCA). The FFDCA does not require pre-market safety testing, review, or approval for cosmetics." - The Cancer Prevention Coalition

Your skin is the largest organ in your body. While most people do not consider skincare to be a major factor in their health and well-being, you would be quite surprised at just how major a role it plays. As your body's regulator, the skin maintains your internal temperature, controls the balance of fluids, vents harmful toxins from blood, and is the first line of defense to unwanted substances and bacteria. Even something as small as a pimple can allow a multitude of invaders into your skin, thus into your blood. You can see how important it is to maintain healthy, fresh skin to protect you and your loved ones. So why would you rub harmful chemicals into your skin, thus into your body?
The US Institute of Occupational Health and Safety conducted a study on mainstream cosmetics and toiletries, and found that over the course of just one year, woman absorb up to 2 kilograms of toxins and chemicals into their body from using these products. They found 884 chemicals used in these cosmetics that are known toxins, many of which are known to cause cancer. Not to mention the products used on infants and toddlers, products used in your clothing, products used to clean the things you touch every day.

"In 1990, there were some 38,000 cosmetic related injuries that required medical treatment in the U.S. That figure does not include the many people who use cosmetics and suffer from allergies, irritation, and photosensitization yet accept these uncomfortable complications as the normal cost of grooming. They never visit their doctor or a hospital emergency room, and they rarely connect their allergies or irritated eyes to the cosmetics they use." - The Cancer Prevention Coalition
This isn't some paranoid, holistic hype just to sell a different kind of product, its common sense. You wouldn't knowingly take something toxic, and gulp it down would you? Then why put it on your skin - on your children's skin? Let it absorb into your blood stream? The fact is, supermarket/drugstore skincare companies have created many cheap, synthetic components to their products to lower the price and increase the rate of production. They slap a nice label on it, promote its effects on your skin, and assume no one will know the extremely long ingredient names. But let's face it, it's easy. It's easy to run down to the local store, grab a facial cleanser or lotion, and carry on with your life. Do us a favor, go look on the back of that cleanser, acne treatment, exfoliate, or moisturizer. See those big long words? Type them into your Internet search engine, and see how they really affect your skin and health.

One you're most likely to find is the current "Holy Grail" of treating acne related skin conditions, Benzoyl Peroxide. This chemical is well known for its ability to eliminate bacteria on the skin, and reduce the appearance of acne, but what they don't tell you is exactly how it happens. Have you ever heard that it's actually bad to repeatedly put Hydrogen Peroxide on a cut or wound? This is because it inhibits the healing process. It's actually toxic to skin cells, and kills the newly formed cells trying to heal the wound. It is meant to sterilize a wound ONCE, and then you seal the wound to prevent contamination. The same is true with Benzoyl Peroxide. It is such a strong chemical, not only does it kill bacteria, but it begins to kill skin cells as well. Drying out your skin, and destroying layer after layer. In most cases, pores shrink so small that you have oil and toxin buildup underneath the tough layer of skin, thus forming cystic acne. So yes, the visible acne is mostly gone, leaving a dry, sore, flaky layer of skin with acne growing underneath it.

We haven't even touched on the most detrimental aspect of Benzoyl Peroxide, and one it has in-common with far too many skincare ingredients. Benzoyl Peroxide releases free radicals into your skin. If you don't know exactly what a free radical is, here are the basics: Essentially a free radical is just an extra electron used in the bonding of atoms and molecules. For the most part, skin cells are a relatively stable environment. The molecules which make up the enzymes and components are stable and carry out their normal functions. However, when you introduce free radicals, electrons that aren't supposed to be there, they can promote abnormal bonding of molecules and substances, causing a mutation. Cancer is nothing more than a mutation of cells, causing rapid, uncontrolled growth of more mutated cells, eventually forming a tumor. Benzoyl Peroxide was formally rated a Class 1 substance by the FDA, however, enlight of these new findings, it has been changed to a Class 3, meaning its effects on your health are unknown. Just as high school chemistry students in the past were allowed to experiment with and touch Mercury, until it was found to be an extremely harmful carcinogen. Lead paint, Asbestos, we never really know what these chemicals do to our body until someone suffers from the side effects.

"A U. S. General Accounting Office report notes that the FDA has committed no resources for assessing the safety problems of those chemicals which have been found to cause genetic damage, biological mutations, and cancer. Because of minimal regulation, products plainly dangerous to your health can be, and are being, sold." - The Cancer Prevention Coalition

Choosing a natural skincare product ensures you will not be absorbing any of these chemicals into your body. Choose a brand that's handmade, no chemical cutters or fillers, and one that plainly displays every single ingredient so that you know your skin, your body, your children's skin, your children's bodies are safe and healthy. Not to mention BEAUTIFUL!

Top Spa Trends - Wellness Spa Equipment, Organic Skin Care and Customized Spa Services By Tom Maroney

The ever-increasing demand for spas that provide health maintenance in addition to relaxation and beauty services has changed the way spas do business. Many spa visitors are not just looking to be pampered. They want healthy living, fitness, personal growth, eco friendly, natural pain relief, weight loss, organic skin care programs and more. This shift is creating some fascinating new spa therapy trends that indicate consumer choice is a high priority. In today's market spa-goers want superior quality equipment, educated service providers with the highest credentials and a gorgeous location with a luxurious, comfortable atmosphere. Creativity, innovation and a commitment to excellence are the keys to starting and operating a successful spa.

Organic Skin Care Products and Organic Massage Therapy Oils, Creams and Lotions
Around the world people are thinking more about the beauty and skin care products they put on and in their bodies. Successful spas must think not only about the quality of their estheticians, massage therapists and other staff, but also about the quality of the products they use. Organic skin care treatments, such as organic body wraps, facials, footbaths and more are in high demand.
Massage therapists are also now using organic massage therapy oils, creams, lotions and muscle rubs made with organic ingredients such as natural healing herbs and therapeutic essential oils. According to the HealingLifestyles.com article "Spa Trends 2008 The Evolved Spa" by writer Margie Goldsmith, Tracy Lee, vice president of spa development for Auberge Resorts says, "Spas are positioning themselves with more green products, and many skincare companies are getting rid of paraffins and sulfites. Today's savvy spa consumer does not blindly accept the label, 'all natural.' A product needs to be greener, more pure, and must provide more proof."

Spa Equipment and Commercial Fitness Equipment created for Wellness
In 2008 spa visitors don't just want to look better, they want to feel healthier. Exercise equipment has long been a part of the spa experience but the kind of equipment spa-goers will find has changed. In addition to the traditional treadmills, exercise bikes and weight training equipment spas now provide fitness alternatives such as vibration therapy machines like the Power Plate and aquatic therapy equipment. Spas are also offering hydrotherapy tables, hydrokinetic showers, skin scanners, infrared mineral lights, biofeedback machines, low level cold lasers and other equipment that promotes natural healing.

Natural Healing Herbs and Holistic Health Supplements for Detox and Natural Weight Loss
Many people visiting spas each year now understand the importance and benefits of an annual body cleanse. Detoxification has become a standard in the spa industry to improve health and achieve natural weight loss. In addition to traditional cleansing massages and detoxifying skin treatments spas now provide visitors with access to holistic health supplements, nutritional organic vitamins and natural healing herbs. It is essential that spa owners and professionals confirm the credibility and integrity of any detox and natural weight loss products they suggest to ensure safety for all spa-goers.

Customized Spa Treatments
In 2008 spa owners are seeing an increase in the demand for customized spa services. According to the International Spa Association ISPA "customized relaxation" is in. "You can make almost anything your 'own' today from custom workouts built into your Nikes, fragrances blended to suit your nose or a zenned-out playlist on your iPod," states ISPA, "Spas are creating unique experiences for their guests as well with 24 percent indicating that clients can book blocks of time instead of specific services. This time block allows them to create a treatment that is all their own from the music to the products to the room temperature."

Spa Luxury and the Comforts of Home
In her article "Spa Trends 2008 The Evolved Spa", HealingLifestyles.com journalist Margie Goldsmith writes, "Guests used to come to a spa once or perhaps twice a year. Now, owners and renters are living the spa experience on a daily basis. Other lifestyle aspects are now being incorporated such as nutrition, sleeping well, retirement, and how you use your leisure time-things beyond treatments and fitness."

Sylvia Sepielli, a conceptual spa designer states, "There's a movement towards integrating more health aspects within the spa experience, and the term 'spa' has been branching out to include more than just fitness and therapies. We're seeing more mixed-use property, resorts with home-stay components, and a big part of that is the spa/lifestyle component." Goldsmith also mentions an increase in Girlfriend Getaways and Mother Daughter spa trips. As women begin traveling together more the residential living aspects such as full kitchens, in room yoga and fitness supplies, in room spa showers and tubs and access to wireless Internet will continue to become more popular.

Organic Skin Care Products - The Best Choices For Skin Renewal By Paul De Vizard

Skin products have different goals in the skin care regimen. One of the essential parts of your routine should be to take care of renewing your skin every few days to get rid of dead cells and reveal the new layer. But we must never trust just any products. In this information, I will feature only the best choices for gentle organic products made of natural ingredients that will promote skin renewal to maintain a young-looking skin.

Our skin cells regenerate after every few days and skin renewal reveals a younger skin underneath. One of the best natural ingredients to promote cell renewal, and also blood circulation, is rosemary. On the other hand, lavender is an excellent source of antioxidant with its soothing scent and gentle properties that will not irritate your skin. Both rosemary and lavender can be mixed in aloe vera juice base to deliver a moisturizing effect to your skin. Use this as a facial mask twice a week and you will see a more glowing skin in a few weeks.

Another potent form of natural ingredient is papain. Papain is a gentle enzyme from papayas. For years, it is infamous for getting rid of dead and damaged skin cells. Meanwhile, pineapple is also rich in bromelain, an enzyme rich in alpha hydroxy acid. This enzyme has anti-inflammatory properties and can boost skin cell renewal as well. These two enzymes, papain from papaya and bromelain from pineapple, can be combined with pink grapefruit to promote skin renewal.Pink grapefruit is known for its anti-bacterial properties; thus, this mixture of papain-pineapple-pink grapefruit can be effective for acne-prone skin.

These two combination are my top two choices for the best organic products for skin renewal. You can prepare these at home if you want but these combination are usually available commercially as well.

The Difference Between Natural and Organic Skincare Products - A Parents Guide By Victoria Crombie

Is there a difference between Natural and Organic Skincare?
What parents need to know when choosing skincare for their babies
A baby's skin is 5 times thinner than an adults and experts are saying that up to 60% of what is put on a baby's skin can be absorbed into the bloodstream within minutes of application! So why take any chances with the products you put on your precious baby's skin, babies really need very little and the best thing to do is to keep things as natural as possible. Read on for our top tips in choosing truly natural or organic skincare for your baby.

What's the difference between traditional commercial products and natural or organic skincare
Just because a product says its "natural" doesn't mean that it's made of only natural ingredients.
Commercial non-natural skincare contain synthetic chemicals as thickeners and fillers to make lotions smooth and creamy, to make bath products bubbly and give products a longer shelf life.

These synthetic chemical ingredients can be potentially harmful to baby, irritating baby's delicate skin and even contributing to skin conditions such as eczema, and certainly harm our planet. Whereas natural and organic products use naturally derived ingredients that promote cell growth and skin rejuvenation and generally don't include these synthetic chemicals.

Organic products are regulated, to be certified organic a product must conform to standards set by an official organisation - generally these include production standards for sourcing, storage, processing, packaging and shipping that include, avoidance of most synthetic chemical inputs. Natural products are not regulated - this is where understanding labels is really important.

Avoid the 'greenwashing'
Many traditional commercial products are cashing in on the rise of demand for natural and organic skincare, creating products that they claim are "natural and/or organic", yet they still contain one or more potentially harmful chemicals one would have thought would not be present in a natural product. However, Current Australian trade regulations state that only 1-5% of ingredients need to be natural for a product to be labelled as such. So the onus is on the consumer to know how to read labels so they can choose the product they want.

Understanding labels
Current labelling laws require ingredients to be labelled in order of volume, so the first ingredient that you see (often water) makes up the largest part of the product, with the final ingredient being the smallest quantity. Unfortunately, when reading the labels of many commercially available products with 'natural' claims you'll find that the natural ingredient features near the end, following a long line of chemical sounding names. Basically the manufacturers have added one or two natural ingredients, (often in minimum quantities) to a synthetic base product, so they can use the word 'natural' when labelling the product.

Choosing the right product
Whether you are looking for an organic product or perhaps a less expensive natural alternative the following top tips should help you to choose the right product.
Top Tips for Choosing natural or organic baby skincare:
Buy your skincare from reputable retailers - there are many organic and eco stores around (mostly online); truly organic stores have done the research for you and will be stocking only reputable natural and organic skincare.

If it sounds like a chemical it probably is - all ingredients need to listed, some natural ingredients have complicated sounding names as ingredients need to be listed by their true names not common names, for example sunflower seed oil will be labelled as helianthus annuus but this should be followed by the common name in brackets i.e., (sunflower oil)

Avoid products that contain the following known skin irritants:
Sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulphate (SLES)
Parabens and other synthetic preservatives
Mineral oils
Petrochemicals
Artificial colours
Artificial fragrances
Also avoid Ingredients tested on animals or Animal derived ingredients they are unnecessary and cruel.
If you are looking for an organic product manufacturers who use organic ingredients want you to know as this is their selling point, so if the product is not 'certified organic' but contains high levels of organic ingredients this will be stated on the labelling, for example "contains 98% certified organic ingredients"
If you are looking for a certified organic product this should be clearly labelled on the product.
Certifying bodies include:
NASAA
ACO
ECOCERT

And finally, trust your instincts, some babies can have reactions to natural ingredients as well like essential oils such as lavender, if your baby does have sensitive skin a fragrance free formulation may be the best option.

Anti-Aging - Organic Skin Care Products Have Certain Ingredients That Make Them Effective By John X Rambo

The word organic can mean many things to different people. To someone in the food industry, it means that products are free from pesticides or growth hormones. However, in the skin care industry, it refers to products that do not contain artificial ingredients, petroleum-based ingredients, or other unsafe ingredients. Nevertheless, there are some skin care products that use the word even when the product it is used to describe actually contains petroleum and other noxious ingredients. Their logical rides on the fact that petroleum isn't a synthetically produced product and doesn't take into consideration the fact that it is more detrimental than helpful. This is why you should make a habit of reading product labels.

Anti Aging Ingredients to Avoid
The reason anti aging products exist is to help fight the aging process, however, there are a few ingredients that can actually speed up the aging process and lead to wrinkles, dull skin and other skin problems. Make sure to check the labels before you purchase any organic skin care product.

*Synthetic Colors
Synthetic colors are made using coal tar and contain heavy metal salts. These components may produce free radicals and lead to eye wrinkles and dull skin, so if you want an effective anti wrinkle cream you should try and avoid all products that contain FD&C or D&C colors.

*Petrochemicals
This group of ingredients is derived from crude oil. Petrochemicals coat your skin and make it impossible for your body to eliminate toxins. They can lead to dull skin, and cause allergies and clogged pores.
Don't use anti aging creams that contain mineral oil, paraffin and petrolatum. Especially if you have oily or combination skin.

*Sulfates
These components are usually found in soaps, detergents and cleansers. They are listed under the following names: sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate. Sulfates are known to dry out the skin (remember dry skin is more prone to wrinkling), cause rashes and lead to ocular problems.

*Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (Quats)
Quats are used in conditioning products, but be careful because they have also been linked to antibiotic resistance. Stay away from products that contain benzalkonium chloride, cetrimonium chloride and cetrimonium bromide, among others.

*Alcohol
Alcohol is a big no-no for any wrinkle treatment because it dehydrates the skin and promotes the development of wrinkles. Stearyl alcohol and cetearyl alcohol are the only two alcohol ingredients that your skin care product should contain.

This list doesn't contain all the ingredients you should avoid, but it is a good place to start. By doing a little research, you'll find the best wrinkle creams out there.

However, time isn't always something you can spare, so in that case we've done some of the research for you.  REJUVENATING CREAM is one of the successful skin care creams that is made with hyaluronic acid and strawberry seed oil. This skin care cream also contains a unique combination of other ingredients that make it gentle and effective at the same time. Because of the natural ingredients found in REJUVENATING CREAM, it is a safe natural skin moisturizer for both sensitive and dry skin.

Younger Looking Skin With Organic Skincare Products By Rebecca Masri

In their everlasting quest for radiant youthful skin that glows with beauty and health, millions of women all over the world and an equal number of men as well, slather on various types of chemical or 'natural' or 'herbal' creams, lotions and miracle potions on their delicate facial skin, hoping for some kind of magic.

But sadly, even after trying out truckloads of products all promising magic, you don't notice any difference in your visage or skin quality and the magic continues to remain elusive.  Do you know why? Because the creams, lotions and miracle potions that you are using, even if they are 100% natural or herbal, as claimed by the companies, are actually manufactured out of extremely destructive and lethal toxins that only damage your skin further instead of imparting your face with youthful skin!

These harmful toxins, when present in your skin care products, can dry out your skin, accelerate the appearance of wrinkles, lead to allergies and rashes, thin out your skin tone and can even damage your skin texture and make your skin appear patchy with prolonged use.

So if you want to possess healthy pinkish soft skin that looks youthful and radiant and if you want to minimize the appearance of dark circles, fine lines, crow's feet and wrinkles, then you ought to go green and switch over to organic skin care products.

Although organic skin care products are pricey and a little out of league for middle class women, I am sure you are ready to shell out that extra bit more for an organic anti aging skin care product that will benefit your skin.

Organic skin care products are 100% natural, safe and free from chemicals. They are manufactured with ingredients extracted from plant and vegetable sources which are grown organically minus the use of chemical pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and other such lethal additives.

Some of the active ingredients found in organic skin care products are cynergy TK, Co enzyme Q 10, collagen, elastin, a type of Japanese kelp called phytessence wakame, nano lipobelle, Resveratrol, allantoin, squalane, jojoba oil, glycerin, caffeine, hyaluronic acid, amino acids, aloe vera, vegetal glycerol, fruit extracts, flower extracts, papaya, green apple extracts, Alpha hydroxy acid sourced from citrus fruits, almond oil, essential oils used in aromatherapy and so on.

Nature's way - Organic Skin Care Products By Milos Pesic

The advantage of going organic in skin care is the fact you are minimizing your skin's intake of harmful chemicals present in most synthetic skin care products. There have been studies noting the adverse effects of substances especially those derived from petroleum and others that are possibly carcinogens. However, it's a big question whether or not this is just a hoax originating from organic skin care product manufacturers to lure the public into their solutions.

Whatever the truth is, here are some organic skin care products for those who opt to go organic.
Here's your clue to what organic means: they are food grown in the absence of synthetic pesticides, insecticides, fertilizers, herbicides, hormones, or other artificial substances for three consecutive years the minimum; no added artificial flavors or colors, and excludes GMOs.

To help you out further, in 2002 the US Department of Agriculture passed a new standard in classifying organic products labeling. "100% organic" means the product contains "all" organic ingredients, which may bear the organic seal of USDA. "Organic" constitutes products that have at least 95% organic ingredients, which may still bear the USDA organic seal. And "Made with Organic Ingredients" pertain to products with at least 70% organic ingredients and no longer qualify for a USDA organic seal. These labeling should broaden your knowledge on which organic skin care product to select.

Miessence's line of organic skin care products claim to be "absolutely" free from synthetic detergents, colors or fragrances, artificial preservatives, petroleum by-products, tar derivatives or GMOs (genetically modified organisms). Their organic skin care products also skipped animal testing, according to the makers. The active ingredients in Miessence organic skin care products are orange peel oil, calendula, geranium, chamomile, and hops, lemon peel oil, witch hazel and burdock, bergamot, lavender, organic herbs, water-soluble botanicals, organic seed butters and oils for their moisturizers, organic flower extracts, horse tail, gotu kola, organic Echinacea, plantain, and so much more. Miessence organic skin care products are available in the form of facial cleansers, facial scrubs, moisturizers, toners, organic skin serums, organic skin treatments, skin masks, hydrating and mists.

The ingredients they use in the organic skin care products can also serve as your guide in choosing other products available over-the-counter. Remember to read the back labels. Other advantages of using organic skin care products are that they are said to slow down the aging process in contrast to their artificial counterparts. Moreover, being organic they may be more tolerated by and friendly to the body's vital processes.
