Where should you look to find all natural organic skin care products? Although most of the major cosmetic companies now have on the market what they call natural herbal skin care products, I will tell you now that most of these products are not what they have been billed for. Natural products are not what you are getting.

You really need to be careful when looking for all natural organic skin care products, and don’t blindly believe what you’ve heard or read about a product without digging deeper first. Most of the time, when these products are featured in a magazine, television commercial, or Internet sales house, the “featured” is exactly what you are getting.

As you start researching natural herbal skin care products to ensure their safety, nearly nine times out of ten there will be the same chemical additives and preservatives as every other product on the market. Most of the ingredients may be healthy for you, but it only takes one of these chemicals to possibly change your life.

I know that while researching many of the products advertised as natural organic skin care formulas, I found that most of the time they contained more than one of these chemicals at a time. The common excuse used by the cosmetic industry is that it is necessary to use these chemicals, because there are no natural ingredients available that can take their place.

Would you rather have an advertised natural herbal skincare formula that contained a preservative agent such as a chemical paraben that has been found within tumors of cancer patients, or would you rather have grapeseed oil, than works as a preservative and provides your skin with antioxidants, linoleic acid and natural vitamin E?

However, how about a natural organic skin care product that contains the antibacterial agent Trilosec, which has been found to contribute to the development of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria? An ingredient like Active New Zealand Manuka Honey is recognized as one of the most powerful natural antibacterial and antifungal compounds in the world.

No matter what the overall cosmetics industry has to say about it, there are natural herbal skincare ingredients that can be just as good or better than the harmful chemicals they are currently using. The fact is, most companies try to get away with using chemicals because it is a way to save on manufacturing costs, and nothing more.

When shopping for the best natural organic skin care products you can find, make sure you are getting exactly what you are paying for. There are companies that make really fine products, and if you remove them from the rest of the bunch, I’m sure your quest for quality will be successful.
