Worldwide there is a groundswell of women looking to find more natural skin care products. Millions of women are now searching out the best all natural skin care products, and for good reason.

Slowly consumers are recognizing that our cosmetics and personal and body care products as well as many skin care products can contain ingredients that can potentially be dangerous.

A quick example, a recent study found lead in over 50% of big brand lipsticks tested.

And it’s fine to be wanting to look better or smell better, but doing that at the risk of our health isn’t smart. Who wants lead on their lips?

And there are smart companies out there who are now looking at the market for more natural products and looking to get in.

L’Oreal has recently bought The Body Shop, a big seller of natural personal products.

Now lets consider skin care. Firstly, what does “all natural” mean when applied to skin care? Well there is no definition of natural for either cosmetics or skin care or other products.

It’s not known what natural formally means, and for this reason there are companies out there marketing “natural” products containing chemicals that most would not consider “natural”.

So what do we do if we’re looking for the best all natural skin care products and there are some out there which can still contain potentially nasty ingredients?

We’re looking because we want to use the best skin care products that are SAFE to use. We don’t want to use any products that may pose any risk to our health in the process of using them.

And as we now know that you want safe products we can use this information to help.

So, how do we find these products? Lets look at how we determine if a product should be safe. There is a website called the cosmetic safety database. It considers the health risks inherent in a wide range of cosmetics and skin care products and more. It rates the potential health risks of various ingredients in these products.

So you can look at any product and search the ingredients to see if they are considered unsafe to health. You could search “parabens” for example, (a popular chemical preservative) and see what risks parabens pose.

Then search out the website of the Campaign For Safe Cosmetics. There you can find a compact that any company can sign to pledge them to only producing safe products that don’t contain potentially dangerous ingredients. Get there and you can search this to see if the company that makes the products you use has signed.

And if the company that makes the products you use has signed you know they should make safe products.

So you’ve found a company that makes natural skin care products and has signed. So their products are safe. But how do you know they’re any good? Well to me any company that offers a money back guarantee on their products must have good products. But even amongst the natural skin care companies that have signed getting a guarantee is very rare.

One company has both signed the compact and offer a full money back guarantee. And it’s that company that makes the best all natural skin care products.

I’ll tell you which company does this on my website.
