Organic lotion is made from plants which are organically grown. To organically grow plants, they need to be grown in organic soil, with no chemicals of any kind to treat them. Even the pesticides used on organic plants need to be organic. They contain no chemicals or parabens and are made with all natural ingredients. Think living on the land when you think of organic lotion.
Over the past 20 years or so, we’ve seen a surge in natural and organic products. Gone are the days of eating bark and not shaving or showering. It is now trendy to use organic products of all kinds and organic lotions fall into that category. The organic movement is on and people all around the world are discovering the healing, moisturizing and regenerative properties of organic lotions.
The science behind organic lotion is becoming more and more complex and most organic lotions now focus on the individual benefits of the plants they’re made of. Lavender and basil are anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. Rose is moisturizing. Many companies are making their organic lotions in different formulas for different skin problems.
With their rise in popularity, organic lotion can be found in many retailers and they range in price as well. Lots of mainstream products are trying to incorporate the benefits of many different plants while maintaining their original formulas. This must mean there’s something to the whole plant benefits theory. By choosing organic skin care, you’re taking an extra step to ensure that the environment is maintained and the products you put on your skin are chemical free.
If you’re looking for a wider range of organic lotion, it’s a good idea to look online. Many manufacturers of organic lotion are small companies who don’t yet have a large distributorship. You’re likely to find some of the best products online to start with.
As with all things beautiful, choosing organic lotion is entirely a personal matter and may require trying a few different kinds. In addition to a wide range of prices, you’ll also find lots of different formulas. Only you know your skin and it’s problems, so it’s important to read the ingredients and the benefits of each product. Organic lotion manufacturers know you may not know so much about medicinal properties of plants, so they take the time to print ingredients, benefits and properties on their labels.
As with any body lotion, give it some time. If you don’t notice any immediate negative side effects, which can signal allergies, use your new organic body lotion for a week or so. The benefits of organic body lotions are cumulative, so the results get better with each use. Apply liberally, any time you want. Pay attention to the scent. If you’re not used to organic skin care, the scent can initially be a turn off. Remember these are natural, organic lotions. They don’t even add artificial fragrances. Smelling organic body lotion is much like smelling a flower or herb garden.
If you’ve decided to start using organic products of any kind, you probably recognize the benefits of no chemicals in the things you consume and ingest already, so the switch to organic body lotion makes sense.
