Benefits of Natural Ingredients

Have you ever thought about the benefits you could get from using natural or organic ingredients? I have, and I found that the benefits are what all people are looking for. Big corporations do all they can to make consumers believe their products with all of the additives are the best choices, but they fail to mention that all of the additives actually do more harm than good.

Natural ingredients are just that–natural..from the Earth. They provide essential nutrients and vitamins the body needs to thrive. For instance, Shea butter contains vitamin E, which contains antioxidants that fight free radicals. The free radicals cause damage to the skin which later causes cancer.

Coconut oil, in its purest form, can do the body all sorts of good. Coconut oil has antioxidant, anti-microbial and anti-cancer properties that protect the body from within or through absorption. It over time can help reduce the inflammation caused by arthritis.

These are just a couple, but think about this. How beneficial can the products on the shelves be to the body if they contain additives? A preservative is good to keep mold from growing in your products, but what about all of the others? How many preservatives can one jar of body butter have?

When I make my bath and beauty  products, I use only natural ingredients. I don’t add in all of the other stuff. For what reason?
