Do you eat organic food, but never think twice about the chemicals in the personal care products you use on your skin? It's not easy to find organic skin care and beauty products, but environmentalist and author Anna Lappe has expert tips.

How To Choose Organic Skin And Beauty Products

You may be unpleasantly surprised to learn that unlike food there is no government certified labeling program for organic ingredients in skin care and beauty products. So how can you tell whether you're choosing organic cosmetics and skin care products or not?

* Read the labels, not just the name of the product. Some products will include the word organic in their name, but on closer inspection of the ingredients you wont find any organic ingredients at all.

* Check the label to see whether the ingredients include petroleum, synthetic preservatives or artificial colors. Also watch out for parabens and phthaltes.

* You can also consult the Environmental Working Groups Skin Deep website, www.cosmeticsdatabase.com. You can enter the name of the products you use and see whether they contain ingredients you want to avoid.

  • I make natural soap and body products. In my research, I've been shocked to see how many "organic" and "natural" skin care products are anything but. Even in the handmade soap market, synthetic additives are common. Check the labels and do your research. If you ever have questions, the company should be forthcoming with information. In our case, we love to talk soap and to hear from our customers!

  • Propylene glycol is antifreeze, although it is usually in minute amounts in alot of products, its there sometimes, check your ingredient lists.

  • @dreamdayphoto Thanks!

  • So right about the regulation. I searched for years trying to find products that I could feel good about placing on my skin and discovered a company called face naturals, and they have a zero rating on every single product on skin deep's database by environmental working group. I highly recommend face naturals, check them out!!!
