Far beyond the easy green trend of recent years, the bio based cosmetics assicurano una trasformazione totale dei prodotti di bellezza. Sono prodotti organici che soddisfano due esigenze fondamentali: tutelare la sostenibilità ambientale e garantire ingredienti cosmetici efficaci e non dannosi.
Una scelta assecondata con piacere da molte persone, quindi, ma non così semplice. Spesso regna la confusione tra i tanti cosmetics defined as natural and environmentally sustainable. For this, it is necessary to better understand what the bio based products.
What is biocosmetics?
Bio-based cosmetics are personal care and beauty products made exclusively from natural and organic ingredients.
The two terms are not juxtaposed at random. These valuable components are not only derived from the natural world: they are obtained from environmentally sustainable and uncontaminated organic crops (they do not use pesticides or toxic compounds).
Thanks to the criteria of organic farming, natural raw materials of superior quality are obtained, which are further selected for the formulation of the organic cosmetics. Often at the base of bio-based preparations are natural plant oils, such as olive oil or castor oil, as well as a wide selection of plant and fruit extracts that can moisturize and protect the skin.
The benefits of bio-based cosmetics
The advantages of bio cosmetics come from the characteristics of natural molecules, which make beauty products effective and safe.
Organic cosmetics:
- contain no harsh chemicals or artificial stabilizers;
- are free of parabens, formaldehyde, nickel, petroleum, preservatives, alcohol, and synthetic additives;
- Are free of chemically synthesized fragrances;
- Do not contain allergens (substances that can cause skin allergies);
- avoid toxicity risks, which are possible with other chemical formulations.
Cosmetic science and nature, for health beyond beauty.
The scientific community has long valued plant derivatives as a healthy alternative to standard cosmetics, which employ potentially harmful chemicals.
Such additives could be absorbed through the bloodstream, in a process that can lead to an accumulation of toxic substances in the body. Let's see how cleansing and cosmetics with organic products, avoid any damage from artificial molecules.
- The natural ingredients in organic-based cosmetics respect sensitive skin. Conventional cosmetics, on the other hand, usually contain artificial fragrances and preservatives that can "attack" the skin and increase skin sensitivity, leading to irritation and redness.
- Organic cosmetics avoid several dermatological problems, while artificial molecules contain potential allergens or molecules that can generate them. A risk for allergic reactions, allergic contact dermatitis, hives, peeling, etc.
- Organic based cosmetics prevent the accumulation of harmful chemical additives in the body. They do not contain petroleum derivatives, parabens, silicones, formaldehyde, or genetically modified (GMO) plant raw materials.
- Chemicals added in conventional cosmetics can be dangerous in the long run. They have been studied for years as possible carcinogens, and of toxicity that interferes with the endocrine or reproductive systems.
- Bio-based products avoid excessive absorption of certain heavy metals considered toxic, which are present in standard cosmetics. If impurities concentrate in the body, they can lead to damage and malfunction of internal organs over time.
- Organic cosmetics do not contain the metals that can cause allergic dermatitis, such as nickel, chromium, cobalt and copper.
- In the biological botanical compounds used, the mechanism of action of biomolecules and macromolecules from plants promotes the well-being of the skin and body, as well as cosmetics.
Differences between organic and natural cosmetics
Now that you know the benefits, to choose the right beauty products becomes essential not to make mistakes. In today's market you find products called natural and organic products-they are not the same!
Natural cosmetics can be formed from natural active ingredients that have not undergone chemical processes (laboratory synthesis). They may also include organic ingredients, but they are not organic cosmetics. Beware of labels: sometimes, even, some products called "natural" actually contain parabens and petrolatum...
Bio based cosmetics Are entirely organic products. They replace any conventional ingredients with plant derivatives from organic farming or all-natural raw materials. Ingredients must meet the strict standards of organic certifications by meeting certain criteria.
Quantity and quality in organic cosmetics
One of the main differences between natural beauty products and bio based products, concerns the amount of natural active ingredients contained. I organic (organic) cosmetics must be made with a high percentage of unprocessed natural substances, compared to the total components. At least 95% of the ingredients must come from organic cultivation or wild harvesting of agricultural ingredients.
If a brand wants to obtain organic recognition, therefore, it will have to prepare a high percentage of cosmetics that meet these parameters. Another "green" feature required in the production process of organic cosmetics is respect for the environment. Much attention is paid to the quality of organic product processing and environmentally friendly packaging.
The "bio based" philosophy Organics Pharm
Il concetto di cosmesi biologica / organica rappresenta il fulcro intorno al quale è nato il brand. Una philosophy che nasce dal rispetto della persona e dell’ambiente, per favorire la bellezza naturale tramite i prodotti di bellezza a base organica.
Gli esperti Organics Pharm selezionano le materie prime dall’agricoltura biologica sostenibile e dinamica, raccolte in modo tradizionale. Questi ingredienti di alto valore cosmetico, vengono destinati direttamente alla formulazione di prodotti organici, che ne mantengono aromi, colori e proprietà. Nasce così, la linea biocosmetica priva di sostanze nocive: parabeni, nickel, formaldeide, profumi di sintesi, derivati dal petrolio come il Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS).
A practice that makes it possible to offer cosmetics rich in organic, safe and Made in Italy ingredients. Also read our Corporate Profile.
