Truly Organic skin care refers to the use of products that are made from natural and organic ingredients. Ideally, these products should not contain chemicals/synthetics or preservatives in them making them a safer and more natural alternative to conventional skin care products. 

This may include:

• Processing methods that do not involve synthetic chemicals or other harmful substances.
• Nourishing and protective properties that help to maintain healthy and youthful-looking skin.
• A safer and more natural alternative to conventional skin care products.
• A commitment to using only the highest quality ingredients and processing methods in the production of organic skin care products.

What makes a skin care product organic?

In order for a skin care product to be considered organic, it must be made from ingredients that are grown and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals or other harmful substances. This means that the product must be made from organic ingredients, which are grown without the use of pesticides or other harmful chemicals, and must be processed using methods that do not involve synthetic chemicals or other harmful substances. In addition, the product must be certified as organic by a reputable organization, such as the USDA or the European Union, in order to ensure that it meets strict standards for organic production.

However, there are more than hundred pesticides, fungicides, insecticides approved by the organic farming regulations in Europe and United states to use in farming/cultivation. Hence a certified organic produce on paper is not 100% organic in practice. 

Is organic skincare the same as “natural,” “green,” or “clean” skincare?

While the terms “organic,” “natural,” “green,” and “clean” are often used interchangeably, they do not all mean the same thing. “Organic” refers specifically to products that are made from ingredients that are grown and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals or other harmful substances. The “Natural” word on skin care products is used depending upon the convenience of the brand as they may call their product natural despite it containing just water as a natural ingredient and rest all chemicals. 

“Green” on skin care products is used to establish a connection with environment-friendly individuals giving them a sense of feeling that the brand cares for the environment. Think, if the product is not organic/natural, how does it really not disturb the environment? In reality, green products that are talked about as environmentally friendly may not necessarily be organic or natural. “Clean” skin care products are those that are free from certain potentially harmful ingredients, but they may not necessarily be organic or natural. So these words and many more newly coined terms from time to time are a marketing tool by companies to target consumers with different sets of ideologies. 

We at SNAANA by our founding principle of using no chemicals and no preservatives retaining the natural nutrition, color, texture, aroma in the product,  makes ourselves organic, natural, clean, green, cruelty free, waterless beauty, blue beauty etc. This simply means that we do not use not synthetic and therefore be it land, water, air or humans, our products are easily absorbed in nature without causing any disturbance. 

For example SNAANA does not make body lotion as lotions certainly need chemicals to lend a white running viscous texture and appearance to it. We make after shower oil which is indeed the cleanest moisturizer available on earth. Do you know? As per organic law, products like lotion containing chemicals- stabilizers, emulsifiers etc. are certified Organic Skin care products.

There is continuous growing demand for organic produce but the organic isn’t purely what it should be? There is far to walk in terms of continuous amend of on-ground practices and law to cover up the I

llusion of organic. 

Why switch to organic skincare products?

• Organic skin care products are safer and more natural than the skin care products we witness on shelf in the last 3-4 decades.

• They are made from natural and organic ingredients that are grown without the use of pesticides( only permissible pesticides by certified organic agencies are used) or other harmful chemicals.

• Organic ingredients are more nourishing and protective than synthetic ingredients.

• Organic skin care products are often more effective at maintaining healthy and youthful-looking skin.

• They are made using sustainable and environmentally friendly methods.

• They are better for the environment and for your overall health and wellbeing.

Are there downsides to organic skin care?

There are a few potential downsides to using organic skin care products.

• One potential downside is that they can be more expensive than conventional skin care products, due to the higher cost of organic ingredients – certification cost and the more labor-intensive methods used to produce them.
• Another potential downside is that the availability of organic skin care products can be limited, depending on where you live. 
• Additionally, some people may find that organic skin care products don’t work as well for them as conventional products, because their skin may be more sensitive to natural ingredients. 

Do organic products last longer?

It is difficult to say whether organic products last longer than conventional products, because it depends on a variety of factors, including the specific ingredients, composition of the product and how the products are stored and used. Organic products may also be more susceptible to spoilage if they are not stored properly, so it is important to follow the storage instructions on the product label. In addition, organic skin care products may be more sensitive to temperature and light, so they should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

How do you check if my skincare product is authentic?

There are a few ways to check if a skin care product is authentic. 

• First, you can look for a seal or certification from a reputable organization, such as the USDA or the European Union, that indicates that the product meets certain standards for organic production. 
• Second, you can check the ingredient list on the product label to see if it contains natural and organic ingredients, and to see if any potentially harmful ingredients are listed.
•  Finally, you can check the manufacturer’s website or contact the company directly to verify the authenticity of the product.
