There is no official definition of natural cosmetics but there are certain requirements to meet before a product can be considered natural cosmetics.
Learn about Natural Cosmetics
Natural cosmetics need to be certified that the product is made from natural ingredients and the production process is friendly to the environment. In natural cosmetics, not only the ingredients but also the entire product research and development process must be as environmentally friendly as possible (from raw materials, packaging to marketing, sales, recycling of product containers). When it comes to natural cosmetics, it’s also very important that no ingredients, research & development process or finished products involve testing on animals.
In natural cosmetics, there are recognized ingredients like vegetable oil and herbs. Unrecommended ingredients include raw materials (artificial), synthetic colors, preservatives, flavorings. The downside of not using preservatives is that natural cosmetics have a much shorter shelf life, but considered more beneficial for the user’s health. However, in some cases, natural ingredients can be more harmful to users than conventional cosmetics. For example, when the wrong parts of the plant are harvested, when the dose is wrong, when the quality is not guaranteed, or when the effects of ingredient are not fully researched. Not everything that comes from nature is safe and can be used in cosmetics. To avoid harmful effects, we need to carefully select ingredients and conduct appropriate tests.
Advantages and uses when using natural cosmetics
High safety
– Slow but long-lasting result, even if the product is no longer used.

Friendly with the environment
Natural cosmetics not only use less chemicals but also use ingredients grown on farms. So, the more natural cosmetic products are produced, the greater the number of plant life. The result is sustainable ingredients production with little or no negative environmental impact. Furthermore, many petroleum-derived ingredients, often used in conventional cosmetics, require extensive exploitation, affecting the soil and threatening wildlife habitat… In contrast, natural and organic extracts mostly come from the cultivation of plants and flowers. The diverse use of natural and organic ingredients requires protecting the biodiversity of wildlife habitats and the sustainability of plant species.
The main value of natural cosmetics is being in harmony with nature, including the impact of its packaging materials. In addition to limiting the use of plastic packaging and increasing the use of recyclable materials, many beauty brands are now developing innovative dosage forms and significantly reducing the packaging in their products such as toothpaste, …
No animal testing
Several types of tests are conducted on animals to ensure they are safe and show effective use. These procedures are not only ruthless but also dangerous for lab animals. With natural cosmetics, experts will use high-tech equipment to verify without involving animals. This is a plus-point of natural cosmetics in terms of preserving life and environment.
No skin irritation
Using chemical products can lead to allergic reactions or skin irritation, acne, and rash. Common allergens to avoid are quaternium 15, formaldehyde, lanolin, methylchloroisothiazolinone, etc. Using natural cosmetic products can reduce or eliminate skin problems caused by these common substances.
No parabens and other toxic chemicals
Paraben is a preservative used to extend shelf life, but it has also been shown to disrupt estrogen production (relating to cancer and impaired breast, liver function, immune system). Natural cosmetics do not use those ingredients.
Skin Nourishment
Like many other organic products, natural cosmetics can provide additional nourishment to the skin. Ingredients such as vitamin E, witch hazel extract, coconut oil … help to keep skin healthier, and prevent oxidants to prevent premature aging.
Actual results

No skin aging
Conventional cosmetics contain many different ingredients, including chemicals, fillers, preservatives, artificial colors. While not everybody is allergic to these ingredients, they still accelerate skin aging. In addition, makeup with these ingredients on a daily basis can cause skin dryness and wrinkles. Natural cosmetics do not.
Compatible with all skin types
Natural cosmetics are suitable for all skin types and you never have to worry about deteriorating skin conditions.
No strong scent
Since most traditional cosmetics are made from chemicals and other ingredients, they often use perfumes to mask the smell of their ingredients. Therefore, many cosmetics with strong scents can be uncomfortable to the user, especially those with asthma, sinusitis, migraine, and other respiratory problems. Natural cosmetics have a softer scent, also can contain essential oils that give off pleasant, relaxing, or even healing scents.
