                With the organic and the all natural movement being in full force,Do the Best Moisturizers Really Come From Plants? Articles there has been an explosion of products from cleaning products to clothing that feature the organic all natural tag. No more has this been seen than in the skin care industry. It seems we are taking a page from our ancestors and going to the land in regards to how we treat our skin, which is in my opinion, a great thing.

                The reason I believe so heavily in the organic skin care products that are offered is not only due to the fact that they actually work, but also to the many vitamins and minerals we are giving to our body through the skin. Also hydration of the skin seems to be more heavily impacted by and organic ingredient instead of any synthetic ingredient out on the market. For the most part, the two skin care products that have taken this organic role on full force have been the cleanser and moisturizer arena. In fact, in my opinion, I would give the moisturizer products number one slot in offering the most options for natural ingredients. Actually, some of the best moisturizers out in the market right now are of an all natural base carrying ingredients that have been used for centuries for one main goal: hydration of the skin.

                These ingredients are not made in a lab or are not produced by amino acids, they are straight from the earth, and to be more specific the plants that grow from the earth. Take for example the ingredient Shea Butter. Derived from the Karite tree originally found in Africa, this ingredient has moisturizing abilities like no other. Shea Butter provides moisture, protection, and nutrients to our skin, allowing it to breathe and operate its daily routines without any interruption from environmental elements. Some of the best moisturizers in the market right now include this ingredient as a selling point as well as another plant based ingredient by the name of Chamomile Oil.

                Chamomile Oil is a derivative of the Roman or German plants that contain this flower. You will probably recognize the name from a tea bag you have seen or perhaps an essential oil you have heard about and what do all of these different forms of chamomile do for the body: relax it. That is Chamomile Oils claim to fame; being a soothing and relaxing additive added to some of the best moisturizers on the market. Regenerating cells is another ability of this essential oil. Chamomile Oil has the unique ability to help the skin with its natural cell producing routine, allowing for new skin to come forward quicker and stay well maintained. Also, it can be the best moisturizing element in dealing with acne and acne treatments due to its gentle nature on the skin.

                The best moisturizerson the market right now will be filled with additives like the two I listed above and will do nothing but what they are supposed to: make your skin feel soft. So the next time you are shopping around for a moisturizing lotion, flip those products around and look at the ingredients. Does the moisturizer contain plant based organic ingredients similar to the ones mentioned above? If yes is you answer continue on the checkout line; and if the answer is no, keep shopping. When it comes to your skin being picky will save you a lot of hassle later on in life. So go forth and judge those so called best moisturizers, it might be the best decision you've ever made.
