Benefits of Using Organic Body Wash: A Comprehensive Guide
Why Natural And Organic Is The Way To Go For Your Body Wash
With an increasing number of people becoming more aware of the chemical ingredients in their personal skin and hair care products, all natural organic body wash is becoming a popular choice.
These products are made from natural and organic ingredients that are kind to the skin and good for the environment's sustainability. In this article, we will delve into the advantages of using organic body wash, including why citrus essential oil-based products from The Good Zest Company are the best choice for your daily routine.
The Skin Benefits of Organic Body Wash
Nourish Your Skin with Natural Ingredients
Organic body wash is made from natural ingredients that cleanse, nourish and hydrate the skin, while avoiding irritation or dryness.
Unlike conventional body washes that contain harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances, organic body wash uses plant-based ingredients that are gentle and effective. This makes it an ideal option for those with sensitive skin or those who prefer to avoid harmful, irritation causing chemicals and artificial scents in their personal care products.
Say Goodbye to Chemical Residues
Conventional body washes often contain chemical compounds that can leave a greasy residue on the skin, even after thorough rinsing. This can lead to the skin becoming irritated, often causing dryness, itchiness and redness along with other possible health problems.
However, organic body wash is completely free from chemicals and artificial scents and leaves no residue build up on the skin surface, ensuring that your skin stays clean, healthy, nourished and irritation free after every shower.
No Toxin Build Up Through The Skin With Organic Body Wash
Adding organic skin care products can add holistic well-being to one’s life; by skipping out on harsh commercial formulas that contain parabens and sulphates responsible for endocrine disruption.
This means reduced discomfort since there is less toxicity penetrating through our bodies when we employ organic essences over artificial perfumes and chemicals within skincare items.
This generally leads towards healthier moods, given how aromatherapy acts as an uplifting agent, calming anxieties through the anxiolytic qualities present within naturally sourced organic ingredients.
This offers exponential improvements over artificial substances commonly tossed into conventional skin and hair care product recipes elsewhere!
The Environmental Advantages of Organic Body Wash
Protect the Planet with Eco-Friendly Choices
Organic body wash is made with natural, environmentally-friendly ingredients that are biodegradable and do not harm the planet. The ingredients are normally plant based.
In contrast, conventional body washes contain chemical compounds that can pollute waterways and harm wildlife as they build up in the ecosystem. Even products that claim to contain natural ingredients can have the majority of their ingredients from chemicals and artificially manufactured scents.
Washing with normal chemical based products means that the water treatment systems have to cope with removing the chemical compounds that you rinse off your body into the drainage systems. This in turn means using more chemicals for that process. A never ending loop of chemical use.
Additionally purchasing certified organic products also increases biodiversity due to greater crop rotation meaning less genetic modification being done with plants and trees in order to create specific products - this then creates an abundance of healthier vegetation which benefits us all!
By choosing organic body wash, you can positively impact the environment.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with Natural and Organic Products
The production of organic body wash also has a lower carbon footprint compared to conventional body wash. This is because organic products are made using sustainable methods and ingredients.
Choosing to use all natural, organic body wash means that you can help to reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to making a more positive impact on the environment.
Our organic body washes are made sustainably in the UK. Not only are our products wholly organic but our aluminium and paper packaging is totally recyclable too.
Cruelty Free Body Wash
Most chemical based products are tested on animals. This is a sad fact of life but organic body wash does not have to endure this testing as it uses natural ingredients.
Our organic body wash is Leaping Bunny approved and produced completely cruelty free, from sourcing our organic products through to manufacturing.
The Power of Organic Citrus Essential Oil Based Body Wash
Unleash the Benefits of Citrus Essential Oils
Citrus essential oils are the base ingredient in organic body washes from The Good Zest Company because of their numerous benefits for the skin. These oils are derived from citrus fruits such as lemon and orange and are known for their antibacterial and antifungal properties along with high levels of antioxidants and vitamins.
In our organic body washes, citrus essential oils have been expertly blended with other natural oils, plant extracts and other naturally occurring compounds to ensure the perfect balance of contents for gentle, deep cleansing of the pores while nourishing and protecting the skin.
Benefits Of Citrus Essential Oil Based Body Wash
Citrus essential oils contain high levels of limonene, a natural chemical with antibacterial and antifungal properties. These oils also contain citric acid, which helps exfoliate dead skin cells and promote healthy skin. Moreover, the high levels of vitamin C in citrus essential oils brighten the skin and protect it from damage.
In addition to their antibacterial and antifungal properties, citrus essential oils also contain high levels of antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the skin from harmful free radicals and slow down the ageing process, leaving the skin looking younger and healthier. The antioxidants in citrus essential oils also help to neutralise damaging environmental factors, such as UV rays and air pollution, that can cause skin damage.
By using organic body wash that contains citrus essential oils, you can take advantage of their antioxidant benefits, as well as their antibacterial and antifungal properties. This multi-tasking ingredient will not only cleanse and nourish your skin, but also protect it from damage and slow down the ageing process.
With the power of antioxidants and essential oils, organic body wash from The Good Zest Company is a powerful tool in your personal care arsenal.
Pure Citrus Essential Oils
The following list contains the individual benefits of each citrus essential oil that we use in our products.
While pure citrus essential oils can be used directly on the skin, it is important to note that in an undiluted form they can cause irritation, burning and hypersensitivity to sunlight.
Our body washes and other organic hair and skin care products are expertly formulated to maximise the natural benefits of the citrus essential oils without the risks associated with the pure, undiluted oils.
There are of course the additional benefits of the other organic ingredients that make up our products in our hand crafted blends.
