In the world of skincare, there's a growing need for transparency and honesty. Many skincare products contain harmful ingredients that can not only irritate your skin but also have a negative impact on the environment. SMPL Skincare was founded on a mission to change this: 100% natural, vegan, and sustainable skincare, without compromise. But why is natural skincare so important?
The Hidden Dangers of Conventional Skin Care
Many traditional skincare products contain synthetic ingredients like parabens, microplastics, mineral oils, and fragrances. While these substances may make your skin feel soft in the short term, they can be harmful in the long run. Fragrance dries out your skin and can cause irritation, while microplastics not only enter your body through your skin but also pollute our oceans. Furthermore, many products contain hormone disruptors that can upset your natural balance.
Microplastics are tiny plastic particles, smaller than 5 millimeters, that are often intentionally added to cosmetics and personal care products. They are used for exfoliation or as inexpensive fillers, but are not biodegradable. This means they accumulate in the environment and can be harmful to aquatic life and human health. According to Beat the Microbead, these microplastics end up in the oceans through our shower drains, where they contribute to the plastic soup and are ingested by fish, which ultimately enter our food chain.
What does this mean for you? Your skin is your largest organ and absorbs much of what you put on it. Harmful chemicals and microplastics can enter your bloodstream this way, potentially impacting your health. Some synthetic substances are linked to hormonal disruptions and an increased risk of skin problems like acne, eczema, and premature aging. By choosing natural skincare, you avoid these risks and provide your skin with only the best, nourishing ingredients that truly benefit your skin—without any adverse effects.
