How to choose natural skin care product

It's not surprising that there has been a significant increase in demand for natural skincare products recently, especially with growing awareness of their benefits and increased concerns about chemical skincare products.

But when you want to pick a face or hand cream from the shelves, you see a lot of names and brands, many with beautiful packaging and attractive descriptions. But is the pleasant smell or good-looking package enough to convince me that this product is the best for me?

And unfortunately, we cannot trust everything written on the product packaging. So, I would like to share some general tips on how to choose a natural skincare product :

1- Read the ingredients: A true natural product has clear and understandable ingredients. They are oils and plant extracts that we use many of in our food. But if you read a long list and only understand a few words, it is best to stay away from this product.

 2- The abundance of ingredients does not indicate the quality of the product: We often tend towards products with many ingredients because we think that more is better , but it is not always the case! Natural ingredients have many benefits, and perhaps a natural oil replaces the effects of 10 chemical ingredients.

3- Read the percentage of natural ingredients in the product: Do you know that there are no laws that determine the percentage of natural ingredients in a product so that it can be labelled (natural)? It means you may buy a product labeled natural, and has a 30% natural ingredients in it and sometimes less !

4- Stay away from (made with ingredients of natural origin) : These ingredients are natural yes, but they are subjected to chemical or thermal processing, so they become a new ingredients with a new properties , but of a natural origin!! I don't think that you have stopped using chemical skincare products and want to replace them with a (processed) product !

5- Choose products that contain natural unprocessed and organic ingredients: this is the true standard - in my opinion - that the determines the quality of a natural skin product , the more natural and unprocessed the ingredients are the more original benefits they have and the less likely to cause any problem to your skin.

6- It is better to choose waterless skincare : When you see a product that does not contain water, it means no preservatives are added to the product, and it also means a more concentrated product, so more effect with lesser use.

At Roots & Raw, we manufacture our skincare products according to three standards:

Natural, unprocessed, and waterless skincare is, as we believe, the simplest and most effective skincare to have. You can see the ingredients we use in our products on our website. They are all natural, unprocessed, and of the best quality, In addition, we manufacture our products using traditional methods to preserve the full benefits of the raw ingredients.

I hope this article makes it a little easier for you to choose a natural skincare product the next time you go shopping.
