Anything and everything organic is buzzing right now.
Just take a stroll down your local grocery aisle or a quick glance around your local drugstore.
There are several products stamped organic and you have to wonder if they are labeled that way to get more sales.
Is it really organic?
Or is it a marketing ploy?
The Organic certification has many critics. Many farmers believe it’s a ploy to undermine the quality of organic food. ~Wikipedia
You may be wondering: What are some good resources for 100% organic beauty and skin care products?
Well the first resource is easy to find. Because it’s you! The best source for truly organic beauty and skincare are things you make on your own.
Check out websites that specialize in natural home remedies and DIY (do-it-yourself) products like http://www.natural-homeremedies.com.
There’s also 100percentpure which is a beauty and cosmetics line that specializes in fruit pigmented cosmetics. They carry items like blackberry pigmented mascaras and coffee infused body scrubs.
There are also several websites that are committed to bringing top quality organic cosmetics to consumers by carrying multiple brands. Brands from different countries with varying price ranges.
Online warehouses like Vitacost and Puritan’s Pride also are great sources for organic oils and supplements.
The lesson here is don’t fall for label hype. Pay attention to the ingredients listed instead. Make sure when you buy organic. It truly is organic.
As consumers, we know that organic label comes at a higher price tag. It gives manufacturers the green light to charge us premium prices. And we do willingly, in hopes of getting a better product.
Become a sassy buyer! There is a weird saying. If you put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig. I believe the whole organic phenomenon is just that. We have to be weary. Otherwise we could be buying pigs everyday and not know it.
