Understanding and Choosing the Right Organic Cosmetic Brand

Organic? Natural? How to tell the difference?

The line between these two categories of products seems very thin, yet they are quite distinct. Natural cosmetic products are obtained through mechanical action on natural elements such as plants or clay. Thus, essential oils or plant extracts are products that can be considered natural. In contrast, products obtained after a chemical action on natural elements cannot be called natural cosmetic products.

Organic cosmetic brand products are recognized as coming from organic farming. This involves cultivation methods that respect the environment, meaning an ideal quantity and quality of water, natural fertilizers, etc. Thus, organic cosmetic products contain no pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. Finally, they are biodegradable. The best choice to make, whenever possible, is therefore a cosmetic product that is both natural and organic, like Corine de Farme products.
