Everyone is abuzz these days about organic skin care products. They are healthier and better for you, and they are guaranteed to be free from pesticides and other toxins. Organic products also cost more than their counterparts. If they are using less chemicals, why do they cost more, and is it really worth it?

The reason organic skin care products cost more is that they are actually more expensive to produce. Organic ingredients must be grown using specific standards and methods to be certified organic. In addition, they are not stored or mixed with cheap fillers and preservatives, but rather with other organic ingredients. This leads to a more costly but also safer and more effective product.

By buying organic, you get rid of all of the chemicals that damage your skin. You also get rid of the chemicals that so many people have reactions to. Many products cause contact dermatitis in a number of people. This is very itchy and painful and quite expensive to get rid of. By buying organic, you remove this risk.

Fragrances and dyes are among the biggest allergens, and organic skin care products do not contain chemical fragrances and definitely do not contain dyes. With an organic product, any scent is directly related to the plants or plant derivatives inside the product rather than additives.

Organic products are preserved using vitamins and other natural products. They have a relatively long shelf life, around a year and a half, which is about as long as you should keep any product, really. In all, the safety and effectiveness of these products far outweighs the added cost.

Organic skin care products not only protect your skin, but are better for your physical health as well. Many products contain chemicals that are slightly toxic and even chemicals that are also found in common pesticides. These chemicals enter your blood when absorbed into your skin, which can have mild toxic effects that upset the nervous system or other bodily systems. Organic products are free from all of these chemicals and risks.

I highly recommend looking into organic skin care products. When you realize that the products you buy define how you will look for the rest of your life, you can begin to see how important it is to take good care of your skin. It is actually a wonderful thing when a few extra dollars from your wallet can remove a few extra years from your face.
