What are the brands of pure natural skin care products? Uncover the secrets of the skin care industry

Many people favor the concept of natural skin care products. Indeed, today's businesses are always able to grasp the psychology of a large number of consumers and have developed a large number of "pure natural" and "plant-derived" skin care products, which even account for nearly two-thirds of the market. So what are some brands of truly natural skin care products?

What are the brands of pure natural skin care products?

There is no purely natural skin care brand, because purely natural skin care refers to skin care products composed of a single ingredient, and except for individual water sprays, there are almost no skin care products that are composed of a single ingredient. Uriage Soothing Moisturizing Spray is made up of a single ingredient, hot spring water, and does not contain propellant.

In fact, as long as it is a skin care product made up of multiple ingredients such as cream, lotion, and toner, there is no such thing as "pure natural", which means it is impossible to be 100% natural. All similar publicity and advertising are skirting the line. You can say that a certain ingredient is natural, but the entire formula is impossible.

Why there can't be any purely natural products

The creams, lotions and other products we use are complex combinations that include the following ingredients:

water

grease

Thickener

Emulsifier

preservative

Chelating agents

pH Adjusters

The probability that all of these ingredients come from nature is extremely low, especially emulsifiers and thickeners. At most, their original source is natural, but they are developed through chemical synthesis and other means, which is different from what we think of as natural. This natural is not that natural.

As for preservatives, there are too few natural preservatives and their effects are too poor. To maintain a normal shelf life, preservatives are basically artificially synthesized.

You think that natural means picking some fruits from plants and squeezing them, but that can only be made into juice, not skin care products.

Some products in Europe that claim to be certified natural are also 95% natural, and the preservatives in them are not natural either. We can only say that most of the ingredients are from natural sources. As for being 100% natural, that's overthinking.

Which products may be natural?

At present, it seems that there are basically only plant oils, including pure oil products such as shea butter, jojoba oil, and grape seed oil. They are indeed naturally squeezed and do not need to add anything, but they are easily oxidized. When they are made into skin care products, a preservative system will also be added, so they are no longer pure natural skin care products.

Apart from this, there are no natural products. Liquid products or bottled products cannot be sold without preservatives.

Natural products don't make sense either

The concept of naturalness itself is meant to attract consumers, but it does not have any special benefits.

Compared with other skin care products, natural products have limited effects. They cannot achieve whitening and anti-aging effects. They can only moisturize. Therefore, many large companies are not very willing to release natural products. They are time-consuming, labor-intensive and useless. Who will buy them?

So, natural is not necessarily good, it just sounds good. When buying a product, you still have to look at the ingredients, function, skin feel, brand image, fragrance, etc. Personally, I am rather averse to some domestic brands that claim to be natural, they are all empty talk.
