The word “natural” has become a major promotional advertising buzzword used to attract and convince consumers that what’s inside the package is really made of all natural ingredients. However, not all beauty products that supposedly contain organic properties really deliver on what they advertise. So how do you find genuine natural beauty products? Read on to find out more:

 

  1. Check the ingredient list at all times – When you’re at a mall or is in hurry to buy a beauty product, you tend to be impulsive. You just pick the first item that meets the eyes. This is a wrong move. Buying beauty products require great attention. It is important that you check the ingredients and make certain that the components are mostly organic. If not, put it down and consider other products available.
  1. Look into the seal of approval – Natural beauty products always have the 3rd party seal of approval. Such approvals normally come from USDA, Natural Products Association, BDIH if the product comes from Europe and ECOCERT. Seeing one of these seals in your beauty product assures you that the product is certified, screened and tested containing all natural ingredients.
  1. Search for reviews – This may sound effortless, yet searching for reviews of genuine and all natural beauty products in the market would be a tough feat. For one, you have to check if the review is not biased and only contains factual information. Above all, the review shouldn’t come from the manufacturer itself. To chance upon real good and evenhanded reviews, never forget to check out online forums where you will find honest commentaries and views.
  1. Look around your kitchen – If you really want to have natural beauty ingredients, your kitchen should be your next stop. Here, you will find the cheapest moisturizer in the form of an olive oil. The most inexpensive solution to make your face and skin look youthful in the form of ginger and garlic, and a whole lot more. If you will just give your kitchen a tour, you sure will find valuable ingredients perfect for your beauty regimen.
  1. Be open for recommendations – If you’ve already tried all options listed above, your last resort is to try out recommendations from friends and other people whom you trust. They surely tried different beauty products being sold in the market before and could easily recommend an all natural and organic beauty product that really works.
  1. Look for a specialty natural store – Stores like these are considered as general merchandise. Meaning to say, they sell almost all kinds of natural things from food to body and beauty products. Buying all natural and organic beauty products from these stores guarantee consumers of having wider selections of organic products at a cheaper price.

One brand that I highly recommend  is Naturopathica. I’ve used this brand (still do) and you’ll find a variety or organic and natural skincare products that work! They have products for both men and women. Naturopathica products are also designed based on skin type- oily, dry, or aging skin. I’ve only tried their Aloe Cleansing Gel, but that alone has helped control my oily skin. It’s very rich, creamy, and gentle on my skin. It also carries moisturizing properties so it doesn’t overdries!  Oh…and here’s the best part about their products- Vegan, gluten-free and ECOCERT-certified!

Finding a genuine organic beauty product may be a challenge at the beginning of your search, but with your continuous effort to get hold of an all natural product with the help of the selections above, you’ll sooner find one without a doubt.

I’m naturally a sucker for Kiehl’s products (from shampoo to moisturizer to lip balm and more), so when a celebrity I like lends his/her creativity or name to the brand for a limited edition product, chances are it’s a must-have in my book. Make it a product that gives back to a cause — 100% of net proceeds at that! — and it’s pretty impossible for me to say no to splurging! April 22nd is Earth Day, and actors Michael C. Hall (Dexter) and Chloë Sevigny (Big Love) are lending their names and knack for design to create special edition labels for the brand’s Rare Earth Pore Cleansing Masque. This special themed Label Art series benefits the Waterkeeper Alliance, an intercontinental movement that tackles environmental issues related to our waterways and fights for the protection of clean water. However, this product is more than just a celebrity shout-out that helps the environment — it also does wonders for your skin, especially for those of us who are prone to blackheads and clogged pores, so you’re doing the Earth and your face proud with purchase!

This Friday, April 22, is Earth Day. In honor of that, I figured now was the perfect time to highlight some great eco-friendly fashion! Only a few short years ago, clothing made from sustainable and earth-friendly materials – such as organic cotton, bamboo, and hemp – were either ridiculously expensive or just didn’t exist. But these days, you can find them in many different stores and at affordable prices — so anyone, not just celebrities, can have access to them.

Here are some great eco-friendly fashion choices for just $20 or less each!
