cosmetics its a jungle out there when it comes to buying natural beauty prod ucts so heres a guide to whats green and pleasant however much we love the idea of using all things pure many socalled natural beauty products we buy arent quite what they seem the problem is that natural can mean almost anything the manufac turer wants it to theres no law gov erning the minimum amount of natu ral ingredients a product must con tain as long as it has at least one given this its very reassuring to know that not everyones jumping on the green bandwagon to make a fast buck most reputable natural com panies such as montagne jeunesse make gentle products using natural ingredients to perform a specific function such as softening your skin so if you want the real thing rather than something that just smells nice check ingredient listings the lower down the list the less of the ingredient there is in the product price can often also be an indicator when measuring how good the quali ty of the natural product is better formulations have higher concentra tions of pure plant ingredient result ing in higher product performance its also worth remembering that some natural ingredients are more pre cious than others for example ingre dients such as evening primrose oil and royal jelly are more costly than say cucumber so look for price dis crepancies between products also remember that natural identical preser vatives are usually also more costly than their synthetic counterparts we know that animal and petro chemical oils clog the skin natural based products use plant oils which are easily absorbed and work better so be an educated consumer read the labels and plunge right in to mother natures wonderfulworld of i beauty and are feeling a little doubtful for the doityourself
