5 Reasons to Convert to Natural Skincare
At Trilogy we create natural skincare that speaks the same language as your skin. What’s more we’re NATRUE certified natural, so you know it’s skincare you can trust.
Here’s 5 reasons we think you should switch to natural skincare.
1. Nutrient Rich
Natural skincare products are often packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants derived from whole plant sources providing antioxidants in their most bioavailable forms. These nutrients can benefit your skin in numerous ways, such as enhancing hydration, promoting repair, and defending against environmental damage. For example, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin E (tocopherol), and natural oils like rosehip oil are known for their potent antioxidant properties and skin-rejuvenating effects!
2. Perfect Science
Natural skincare ingredients are celebrated for their complexity and versatility, often providing multiple benefits from a single source and the science behind their efficacy lies in their composition. Unlike synthetic ingredients, which are typically isolated compounds, natural ingredients often contain a mix of bioactive compounds that work synergistically to enhance skin health. For example, rosehip oil is rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids like linoleic and linolenic acids, which help to keep the skin hydrated and maintain its natural barrier. The antioxidants in rosehip oil also help protect the skin from free radical damage, and its high vitamin A content makes it effective in reducing the appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation by promoting skin regeneration and helping to fade dark spots over time.
3. Kinder on the skin
NATRUE certified skincare is free from artificial ingredients including synthetic fragrances, and preservatives that can irritate the skin and potentially cause hormonal disruption. Choosing NATRUE certified natural skincare will help reduce your exposure to potentially harmful substances and support overall skin health. Make a habit of reading the ingredient list on products and look for independent certifications that you can trust. The NATRUE Standard allows only natural, derived natural and nature identical ingredients, guarantees no artificial ingredients, and is validated by expert scientists.
4. Happy Hormones and Skin Microbiome
NATRUE certified skincare is free of hormone disrupting synthetic chemicals. Ingredients derived from nature are less likely to interfere with your endocrine system. Common hormone disruptors are parabens (artificial preservatives), phthalates, sulphates, silicones and synthetic fragrances. Harsh chemicals can disrupt the skin’s natural pH and harm beneficial microbes, leading to skin problems. Natural ingredients are also less likely to negatively affect the skin’s microbiome. For example, certain natural ingredients like Manuka honey, have antimicrobial properties that can help control skin conditions without disturbing the overall balance of the skin microbiome.
5. Kinder to You and the Planet
Natural ingredients are mostly sourced from renewable resources and have a lower impact on biodiversity compared to synthetic ingredients, such as common sunscreen ingredients Oxybenzone, also known as benzophenone-3, which acts as an endocrine disruptor, affecting marine organisms’ reproductive systems and Octinoxate which has been linked to coral bleaching events. Parabens have also been found in marine mammals, potentially affecting their fertility and reproduction. If you’re unsure what to buy, choose a product with NATRUE certification. The NATRUE Standard is a strong advocate for sustainability.
