Why is “organic” important in skin care?
First, organic is the ‘real’ natural. Since there is no definitive rule on marketing natural products in the industry, many manufacturers try to increase sales by promoting products as natural when they’re anything but. If you want a truly natural product – instead of one made with lab-created synthetics – buy one that has a third-party body care organic certification on it. Plus generally speaking certified organic products aren’t made with petroleum-based ingredients or synthetic chemicals. (This isn’t always the case as, disappointingly, some organic body care standards DO allow some of these ingredients, but then again that’s why Saffron Rouge is here). Nor are they genetically modified or grown with synthetic pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers and sewage sludge. Synthetic pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers are damaging to the environment, your health and your skin.
