Best organic facial products
In recent times, attention to the environment has also prevailed in the world of cosmetics where in fact the "green" market seems to have reached interesting percentages, equal to the 8% of the cosmetics market in Italy for a turnover which in 2015 exceeded 460 million euros. Here are the lines that produce the best organic facial products.
However, when it comes to organic cosmetic products you have to be careful as for a product to be considered organic, it must possess the 95% of ingredients of organic origin, i.e. for its production, plants in the period of the highest concentration of functional active ingredients are used as resources, obviously plants without pesticides.
More and more consumers, before purchasing a product, make sure that it is certified by a body responsible for this purpose which guarantees compliance with the name regarding the use of the ingredients. Among the main certifying bodies, the ICEA or theInstitute for Ethical and Environmental Certification, or the CCPB i.e. the Consortium for the Control of Organic products, recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture. The Italian law, n. 713/86 also intervened on the matter, regulating aspects such as the production and characteristics of a cosmetic.
Best organic facial products: It has now become customary for even non-experts to check the INCI, whose acronym stands for International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, or rather the list required by law, of the ingredients present therein in ascending order, from the most used to the least used. If, however, you want to make sure that a product has not been tested on animals, you need to check the presence of the LAV or certificates Cruelty Free.
Well, among the brands that are most esteemed for their organic character and therefore respect the above indications, there are L'Occitane and Alkemilla.
The first, perhaps best known, was born in France from the expert hands of Olivier Baussan who, in the suggestive Provence, began his organic business aimed at the production of Marseille soap, recovering the fate of a tradition that was gradually crumbling. Today L'Occitane offers products based on respect for the environment, using natural products.
Alkemilla, on the other hand, offers organic cosmetics certified by the AIAB and guarantees vegan quality. Furthermore, tested on heavy metals such as Nickel and Chromium.
It must be kept in mind that having an organic 100% product is impossible as the product, in order to be marketed and used by consumers, requires the presence of components to guarantee its preservation, for a timely reason.
