Natural Cosmetics Review |
The word "cosmetics" in one of its senses means "order". It also means
to have power to organize. Nowadays, this word is connected with the
notion of beauty. Cosmetics includes the means of makeup and the
products of skincare. Medicine incorporates cosmetics as its brunch
because the latter takes care of its clients and very often cures
illnesses. A new tendency in science is to produce cosmetic means that
will have medical characteristics.
Natural cosmetics spreads allover the world very quickly and
European companies from UK, Germany, Italy, Belgium and
France decided to establish a standard of natural cosmetics and natural
organic cosmetics. This standard is known as COSMOS standard. It was
decided that natural cosmetics products should include only
several natural cosmetics ingredients. These components of
natural beauty cosmetics are very few in number. They are:
plant ingredients, natural minerals, water. Even the European Union is
interested in the quality of natural cosmetics. They adopted several
laws according to which every natural cosmetics company is tested as it
is very important to protect people against products of bad quality.
The European Union established a number of components that should be
excluded from natural cosmetics. In this list one can find components
of petrol-chemical origin, hydrogenated fat, the sodium laureth
sulphate and surfactants sodium lauryl sulphate (toxic). These
ingredients have a very harmful effect on the human organism. In natural
herbal cosmetics and natural mineral cosmetics every component should
be very carefully tested as in case a plant was processed with
pesticides or fertilizers this plant can not be used in natural
cosmetics. When animal matters are used in the
production of natural cosmetics company should be sure that that animal
have been bred according to organic and ecological standards.
If a natural cosmetics company wants its natural cosmetics to
be labeled as natural organic cosmetics almost 100% of
ingredients in their products should be sure to be natural. These components
should be produced by the natural way. And by the way, one fifth of all products of the natural cosmetics company possess
"organic" certificates.
Important for natural cosmetics production are product containers. It
is vital that package is safe and ecological. Natural
cosmetics of good quality is usually labeled either as
"COSMOS-NATURAL" or as "COSMOS-ORGANIC".
Natural mineral cosmetics is said to be one of the cleanest types of
natural cosmetics. It is called in such a way because it is made from
natural minerals that are harmless for humans. People with
sensitive skin can use this natural mineral cosmetics as it is created
for all types of skin.
Natural cosmetics industry is working on new ecological
products such as, for example, a natural cosmetic brush, that is made from
natural materials.
In many developed countries there are special organizations that
regulate the question of natural cosmetics products. They say that
there are about 400 chemical elements that are forbidden in natural
cosmetics. That is why one should be careful while buying
some cosmetics product. |
