JD, there’s nothing wrong with organic skincare, as long as you know what you’re buying. Too many people think they’re getting something that is more effective or safer and that’s often so not true. *sighs*

Amen re preservatives. I never buy anything without them. It’s so dangerous. Especially when it’s natural. Those plants go bad so quickly!

I so love this post. I use so-called organic or natural skin care products. I use them, not because I think they are superior to conventional skin care products, but simply because I like the scent or the packaging, or both, of the ones I use and they happen to be labelled organic or natural. I say “so-called organic or natural” because I have not actually come across any product which I consider truly organic or natural. When I pick up a product, the first thing I look for is preservatives, especially in products with water in them. Someone has to explain to me the irrational fear of preservatives. I also test these first before splashing them all over my face, in the same way I test conventional products. I also ignore unsupported claims. Another thing I don’t understand is the notion that any ingredient that is hard to pronounce is bad (I read this in a blog or two). When someone tells me that “if it’s natural, it’s good”, I respond with a number of poisonous plants.

Anyway, thank you for the suggestions and your efforts to satisfy the request of your “organic/natural” product readers.

In reply to Barbara.

Barbara, so glad you enjoyed it! I’m so tired of people saying “this is natural so you should use it, that’s synthetic so it’s the devil incarnated.” I understand that cosmetic science can be complex and that turning to Nature seems like a reassuring and safe way to take care of your skin. But, if you don’t take the time to educate yourself, you’re gonna end up with products that don’t do anything at best or that badly irritate your skin at worst. *sighs*

In reply to SherryG. Sherry, and to think that natural skincare is deemed a godsend for sensitive skin! Unfortunately, natural sells so those irritating extracts are everywhere now. :( Imo, for sensitive skin there's nothing better than French skincare. Like Cerave, it sticks to the essentials. )
