NATURAL & ORGANIC CHEMICAL-FREE SKINCARE PRODUCTS
                     NATURAL & ORGANIC CHEMICAL-  
FREE SKINCARE PRODUCTS
Did you know that our skin absorbs 60% of what we apply to it? 
That’s
incredible, right?
Nowadays, beauty industries offer a wide range of products with  
‘additional benefits’ –  but lately, there has been a buzz around 
green  beauty which are free from toxic ingredients and 
preservatives.
Irrespective of the similarities, two kinds of green beauty products 
exist
–  natural and organic –  which makes it essential to understand 
what’s  best for you and your skin. However, both the terms can be 
quite  misleading as they are often used synonymously despite the 
fine line of  differences they hold between them.
Now going green is more prominent than ever. Feeling overwhelmed? 
No  need to worry! To simplify it for you, Naija Organic decodes them 
both right  from our expert dermatologists, in brief. Read on.
Natural Skincare Products
The skincare products are considered natural when the ingredients are  
produced from nature rather than synthetically. These products are  
formulated with naturally originated substances such as –  plants, 
minerals,  marine, micro-organisms, or animals.
There is a good chance that these products might not be 100% 
natural.  Although they are manufactured without the involvement of 
petroleum or  mineral oil-derived ingredients and are free from 
artificial fragrances,  preservatives, and other additional toxins, the 
products include other  pesticides and chemicals used to enhance 
the growth of the substance  that would rather not grow naturally.
However, the term ‘natural’ is not regulated in the cosmetic industry at 
all.  Note that the scientific names of some natural substances might 
sound  synthetic and it gets a little confusing, say, sodium chloride is 
sea salt or  citric acid is a compound found in lemons, oranges, and 
other citrus fruits,  to name a few. Ensure ways to find whether your 
product is green or not.
This implies that a product infused with a handful of nature-derived 
 ingredients can be considered pure and green, despite the 
addition of  other synthetic substances.
Organic Skincare Products
The term ‘organic’ denotes that the ingredients are grown using 
organic  farming methods, without the involvement of pesticides or 
chemical  fertilizers. Organic skincare products are formulated with 
greens and  plant-based substances. To ensure the ingredients 
grown are toxin-free,  organic materials like –  manure and compost 
are added to the earth.
Organic beauty products are made using ingredients that are 
attained
with no preservatives or pesticides. They are known to have a 
natural  texture and aroma with no artificial additions, just like 
natural products.
Organic skincare products at Naija Organic undergo rigorous 
testing  standards to assure 100% purity and green products.
Now that you’ve got the brief about both the terms, would you like 
to know
about the difference between them? Keep reading to find out!
Although both ‘organic’ and ‘natural’ beauty products carry the 
essential  benefits of vitamins, minerals, and natural extracts that help 
restore the  skin texture and health. Despite the similarities, Organic 
products are  passed via multiple testing standards to test their purity 
and quality of the  product, whereas, Natural beauty products contain 
chemicals or artificial  fertilizers.
A study mentions that an Organic product is 95-100% chemical free, 
while  Natural products are usually around 50-70%. It is no surprise 
that organic  products are much safer, more potent, and healthier 
when compared to  natural skincare products.
However, Naija Organic Beauty Products are made up of pure Org
anic  ingredients –  from the procurement of raw materials to the 
finished  product. All hair and skin care products are strictly undertaken 
quality-  control processes to ensure there is no trace of harmful or 
artificial  substances. Hence, the range of Naija Organic Skincare 
products is purely  organic and chemical-free, and it primarily focuses 
on absolute  effectiveness and brilliant potency.
