With the environmental agenda sweeping the nation it seems there is a lot of pressure on members of the public to consider the ecological effects of their purchases. This has had an effect on our transport options, our choices of diet and also on beauty products. However we are also in the midst of an economic crisis, so how can we spend disposable income on things like organic make up that aren't considered necessities? Is there a possible way to buy make up which is environmentally friendly without having to break the bank?
Well,
yes you can, as companies begin to understand and react to the niche that offers
natural organic cosmetics with affordable prices. However, because of the
distribution costs financially and environmentally, you may be hard pressed to
find such shops on the high street. The best bet would be to search around on
the internet to find online make-up retailers as often the savings will get
passed on to the customer.
Another
issue that is raised with the purchase of beauty products can be the sometimes
questionable ethical methods of testing. Animal Rights activists have been at
odds with make-up manufacturing giants for decades now and it seems that more
companies are folding to the pressure put on by environmental groups, which is
fantastic; however it leads again to an increase of cost to pay for specific
scientific testing staff needed to observe how toxic the chemical ingredients
are. The likelihood of harming yourself through the use of make-up due to the
toxic chemicals in it is drastically increased with the usage of organic
make-up as most of the colourings and texture modifiers are perfectly safe,
meaning that the skin cannot absorb any poisons into the bloodstream. Also
there is less chance of developing an allergic reaction to the ingredients, and
because of the SPF levels found in organic make up, you're skin will be less
effected by the wrinkles that UV rays can inflict.
Another
major benefit of natural skin care and hair dyes are that, because its made
using organic ingredients, the final look will look better than if the products
are developed with man-made components. After all thats said and done, the
point of makeup is to enhance your look so why settle for unnatural products
when the alternative is similarly priced and gives you a better end result.
Perhaps its time for the make-up industry to start thinking more about the
choice of ingredients it uses or else it may find itself losing out to the
natural skin care surge. eye
