why go or use natural products?

First of all, we have to all understand what the word "natural" is. Natural is said to be something that exists, or caused by nature, not made or caused by humankind.Then we can proceed by asking ourselves what the skin is, since most natural products are applied on the skin or ingested.The skin is the largest organ,and it is responsible for regulating your external and internal balances; it maintains our body temperature, regulates our body’s fluid balance and is the first line of defense against external enemies,and absorbs almost everything you apply on it.so one can imagine the damage caused by applying harmful elements to the skin.Have we ever asked ourselves what kind of products we are applying on our skin? i guess to most people the answer might be "NO",but i believe that is a very good question to ask ourselves.Make sure you recognize the ingredients in your skin care products as natural or learn what they are before applying. A survey carried out by the National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health studies found over 884 chemicals used in personal care products and cosmetics as being toxic and estimates that women absorb up to 2 kilograms of chemicals through toiletries and cosmetics alone over the course of a year.Over 700 of them caused acute toxic affects and over 300 caused developmental abnormalities, and this is because these chemicals may absorb into your body and brain 3 times faster than water. Please note the most harmful and toxic skin care products today on your labels before making any purchase: Butyl paraben Isopropyl alcohol DEA (Diethanolamine) MEA (monoethanolamine) TEA (triethanolamine) DMDM Hydantion Urea (Imidazolidinyl) Hydroquinone FD&C Color Pigments Fragrances Methyl Paraben Mineral oil Paraben Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) Butylene Glycol Sodium Laurel Sulfate Sodium Laureth Sulfate Triclosan (used in anti-bacterial products – VERY bad. Use grapefruit seed extract and essential oils instead) Othoxalation (this is a process, not an ingredient so it is not on the labels. It is used in cleansing products and very carcinogenic) Source: Hoffman, Susan, herbalist. Skin Care Fact Sheet. Throughout our existence, the usefulness of natural products for medicine, beauty and health has been vast. Since our earliest ancestors chewed on certain herbs to relieve pain, or wrapped leaves around wounds to improve healing, natural products have often been the sole means to treat diseases and injuries. In fact, it has only been during the past years that natural products have taken a secondary role in drug discovery and drug development, after the emergence of molecular biology and combinatorial chemistry made possible the rational design of chemical compounds to target specific molecules. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2658564/ Choosing organic/natural ingredients ensures that there are no chemicals added and farming takes it a step further still.
