Botanical skin care is a no brainer really! Should petroleum based products and mineral oils be applied to our delicate skin? Even though they have been carefully processed, we should not be surprised that they are going to cause quite a few problems. But they are cheap to produce and both customers and cosmaceutical manufacturers love cheap products!
Gradually consumers are waking up after a long sleep. When they look at rashes, redness, irritation and allergic reactions, they begin to wonder what on earth it could be! They should not be so gullible because a mineral oil or paraffin based wax is hardly likely to be a great match for our skin’s delicate make up.
This is where botanical skin care comes into play. You will see lots of products which claim to be perfectly natural or organic. These are definitely ‘in’ words in the skincare industry. It is a pity that they are misused and abused. The fact is that many companies are lying when they say that their products are natural or botanical because the quantities they are using are miniscule and are there as a sort of guest appearance. Their proportions are miserable compared to all the other chemically derived ingredients in there as well.
The other trick that these companies are using in fooling their customers is that fact that they claim that their product is 50% botanical. In reality, many of these so called botanical skin care products only make up about 1% to 3% of the total product. The rest of the product is liable to be made up of synthetics, chemicals, parabens and fragrances all of which have a very doubtful and suspicious health record.
Then there is the problem of contamination because we have to ensure that all the botanical skin care products are using ingredients which are really derived from plants but also guarantee that they are free from pesticides and other contaminants.
