It’s not exactly a well-kept secret that natural beauty products are a fantastic choice for skincare, however when looking to the internet, the question of why natural works best can be trickier to find out. Well, now there’s no need to look further! I’ve done the hard work for you – and found 5 fabulous natural beauty to keep your skin glowing and healthy.

1. Natural means free from nasties.

Shopping natural, means your skin can flourish, while getting a helping hand from mother nature. All of London Organic’s natural beauty products are chemical-free and free from synthetics such as parabens, sulphates and petrochemicals. These synthetics can have a harmful effect on skin and the body. They’ve been connected to irritated skin, hormone imbalance, and even cancer.

Synthetics can be damaging because our bodies have no way of breaking them down effectively – they can sit in tissues disrupting cells for years. Efficient cell turnover is linked to better skin elasticity – which is one of the things that keeps you looking young. Choosing to buy from a natural beauty product shop, means you won’t use harmful synthetics that can lead to premature aging.

     2. Rosehip oil, avocado oil, and lemongrass are antioxidant heroes.

You might have heard of the term ‘antioxidant’ before, but been left puzzled by what it actually means.

Essentially, an antioxidant is a substance that can prevent or slow damage caused to skin cells. Antioxidants absorb free radicals – unstable molecules from the environment or body that can disrupt the functioning of cells. Using antioxidants in a skincare routine means your skin will function (and look) better. If you’re on the hunt for a radiant glow, search for natural beauty products with high levels of antioxidants such as rosehip oil, avocado oil, lemongrass and macadamia. London Organic Beauty’s Macadamia & Rosehip Face Cream contains all these antioxidant rich ingredients and will have your skin feeling rejuvenated and fresh.

      3. Organic is kinder to the planet.

You might have heard of the term ‘antioxidant’ before, but been left puzzled by what it actually means.

Shopping natural can have a direct influence on the planet – natural ingredients can be broken down in waterways and don’t harm wildlife in the way that synthetic ingredients do. Organic ingredients can be seen as the ‘gold standard’ for eco-friendliness as they don’t use pesticides – which are harmful to biodiversity, and ultimately, the planet. Choosing to go opt for organic beauty, can mean that you’re helping to do your bit – while feeling your best!

      4. Jojoba oil contains skin strengthening amino acids.

Amino acids are unsung stars of the skin-care world. They work to make up part of the skin’s natural moisturising factors on the skin’s surface – a barrier that helps moisturise and protect the skin. When looking at a natural beauty product shops, make sure that jojoba oil is present in the formulation as it contains protective amino acids such as arginine, aspartic acid and glycine. These help strengthen skin – and strong skin, means beautiful skin!

      5. Acai is an amazing anti-inflammatory.

Acai is a saviour for anyone with irritable skin: it contains powerful anti-inflammatory compounds that help protect the skin’s natural barrier. Acai contains anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins and protocatechuic acid which all help protect the skin from inflammation by increasing skin repair. If you’re prone to irritated skin or rosacea, Acai is a must when trawling through natural beauty products online. But luckily, you don’t have to – our Aloe Vera and Acai Gel is perfect for sensitive skin.

We’re immensely proud that our natural beauty products contain these fantastic ingredients, and we’re so grateful that we get to share the power of organic beauty products with you. After all – it’s nature’s gift, so why not share it?
