Characteristics of natural cosmetics

Natural cosmetics encompasses all cosmetic products produced in an ecological and environmentally friendly way, whose ingredients are natural and of plant origin and which comply with a series of requirements established by different associations and organizations that control the sector.

• Natural cosmetics are not tested on animals nor do they carry any type of product of animal origin. The number of cosmetic companies that test their products on animals is surprising.

Natural cosmetics seeks to protect the environment above all, ensuring that the production of its ingredients is ecological and without using chemicals or substances that damage the natural environment.

How to know if a product is natural?

One of the problems in natural cosmetics is the multitude of companies that have granted themselves the characteristic of natural cosmetics when in fact they continue to use all kinds of synthetic and chemical products that are harmful to health and the environment.

Therefore, many people hesitate when buying natural cosmetics. What can be done to check if a product is natural?

Search the Internet for the natural cosmetic brand. Enter their website, read articles about them and investigate the information published by organizations and associations of natural cosmetics.

Check its packaging. As we have said before, the label of a natural cosmetic product should read all the ingredients used. The packaging should include the seals that certify its quality, that it is vegan and that it has not been tested on animals.

Quality seals in natural cosmetics

There are different certification seals for natural cosmetics but a product must at least be certified with one of them.

• Digital Certificate BDIH. It is made in Germany, it is one of the most important and requires that the products carry complete information about the ingredients, respect the environment in all its production process, do not violate the synthetic ingredients not allowed and belong to or promote fair trade .
• Seal Ecocert. It is one of the main hallmarks of natural cosmetics. To have it, natural cosmetics must contain at least 95% natural ingredients and 5% ingredients that come from organic farming.
• NATRUE. When a product has this certification, it does not contain synthetic fragrances, petroleum derivatives, silicone oils, genetically modified ingredients or are tested on animals.
• La Spanish Organic and Natural Cosmetics Association Non-profit making guarantees with its seal that the manufacturing processes and raw materials are in accordance with the characteristics of natural cosmetics.

Check their list of natural ingredients or INCI. On the back of the package you can find two lists. The first one corresponds to the ingredients that make up the product. Below this, you will find the INCI list that serves as a reference to really know what it contains and the proportion of the ingredients. INCI stands for International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient.

The INCI is a unified nomenclature with some requirements according to which cosmetic ingredients must appear on the containers with their Latin names and listed according to their quantity (from highest to lowest presence). Manufacturers are required to label all ingredients.

Natural products: How to read the INCI?

In the packaging of natural cosmetics the INCI of the cosmetic is usually included and in it the elements of composition, origin and function can be read since they are in Latin or in their scientific form.

Within the list of ingredients you can see one or more asterisks. When an ingredient name has an asterisk it means that it is from an organic culture, while two asterisks mean that it is composed of natural essential oils.

The ingredients are ordered by how much is in the product. That is, in our Pure Aloe Vera Gel 99% you will see that the first ingredient you find in the INCI is Aloe barbadensis Leaf Juice, as it is the main ingredient of the product.

Ingredients are usually written in Latin or English, although this is less common. Therefore, sometimes you have to use some method to translate them. In the 'Conscious Beauty' program of the Ministry of the Environment you can see a document with all the common ingredients in cosmetics and their Latin equivalent.

Meanwhile, in Cosmethics Info you can see all the nomenclatures in Latin that are usually included in the INCIs. In addition, they have their own database with both natural and conventional cosmetics from different countries and in each of them they have a file in which the ingredients are identified and in which their danger index is indicated.

SulfatesThis common ingredient makes gels and shampoos frothy but can also irritate the skin.

Triclosan: This antibacterial agent very present in toothpaste and soaps also affects the hormonal regulation of the body but also causes very negative effects on the marine environment when it is discharged down the drain.

The materials used in natural cosmetics are only of natural origin from organic cultures without preservatives, most of them are:

Vegetable oils; that are acquired from plants and food. That is, almonds, sesame, avocado, etc.
