Author: AfterGlow Natural And Organic Does Not Always Mean Safe " Especially With Cosmetics
Although the FDA has strict guidelines for foods and supplements labeled as organic, there are no similar guidelines for other personal care items, especially cosmetics, that are labeled as either organic cosmetics or natural mineral cosmetics. Nevertheless, you might be prone to think that by simply labeling something as organic or natural it is a surefire guarantee that the product is good for you and the environment. But a little due diligence regarding the meaning behind “pure”, “natural “and “organic” as it relates to natural cosmetics might just open your eyes to a practice that is confusing, and in some cases potentially harmful.
Because of the lack of government standards, these marketing tricks are in place to take advantage of the growing consumer awareness of the benefits of using products, such as natural cosmetics, that are safe as well as actually 100% natural and organic.
You might not be surprised to learn that one of the top-selling shampoos in the United States (Clairol Herbal Essences) contains over 12 synthetic petrochemicals that have been linked to moderate deep skin toxicity levels. But would you ever think that top-selling “natural” brands, correctly claiming to be made with all natural ingredients, have been shown to contain the synthetic chemical carcinogen 1,4-dioxane.
To address issues such as this (since the government has been too slow to respond), new industry standards are emerging in the natural cosmetics industry that are designed to help consumers relate to the differences between truly natural and organic products and ones that merely claim to be natural without providing the benefits generally associated with such products. But this self-regulatory effort can, at times, seem to be more confusing that not having any standards at all " when different meanings and standards are attributed to the same words when applied to different products.
Enter The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. This watchdog organization is an advocate for standardization regarding ingredients found in natural cosmetics " leading to a industry-wide acceptance delineating which safety of products labeled as natural cosmetics.
Afterglow, a leading producer of organic cosmetics has embraced the stated goals of The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. From its inception, Afterglow has offered full disclosure in regard to the ingredients found in their organic cosmetics. This attention to detail speaks volumes as to Afterglow’s commitment to assure its customers that all Afterglow products are safe.
As Kristin Adams, the founder of Afterglow notes, “Cosmetic companies use synthetics and fillers in their products to keep costs down and give themselves the greatest profit margin possible. They are spending pennies on the dollars you spend at your local drug or department store to buy their products. What you are paying for is an image of beauty perpetuated in advertisements. You are not usually paying for quality with most commercial cosmetic brands. There are natural alternatives that are better for you and your skin. Inform yourself, read labels, and investigate products if they don't list ingredients.”
