Natural Beauty: Organic or Ayurvedic?

With the growing levels of pollution and other environmental problems, the beauty industry is shifting back towards the natural beauty route. Two main types of natural beauty products that are trending in the market are organic skincare products and ayurvedic skincare products. 

But do you know the difference between these two? Don’t worry! This article will help you figure out the difference. 

• Organic Skincare

Organic skincare products are made with naturally derived ingredients. To find out if a brand is organic, you need to see if it has accreditations and certifications of being an organic brand.  On top of that, they also need to have purely organic ingredients. 

This means, for example, they need to specify if their plant was grown in organic soil ( soil that is free from pesticide, fertilizers, genetically modified seeds, hormones, steroids, etc., for at least eight years).

They must also specify the process of extraction used for their oils, body butter, or waxes. Their products also need to be free from any preservatives to qualify for the organic tag.

Every country has different efficacy norms and raw material standards for organic skincare products. The organic brand that you trust must be transparent enough to list down all these norms and regulations on their website. 

• Ayurvedic Skincare

Ayurvedic is an ancient medicinal practice in India that focuses on holistic wellness. It includes beauty in the forms of inner, outer, and lasting beauty. 

  “Roopam, Gunam, vayastyaga, it shubhanga karanam.”

Ayurveda works on the root causes of your skin problems to give you a lasting solution. Ayurvedic skincare is based on the use of natural plant-based ingredients that do not contain chemicals and toxins that harm your skin cells.

The Difference 

The basic difference between ayurvedic skincare products and organic skincare products lies in the ingredients that they use. Both of them use plant-derived ingredients. However, ayurvedic ingredients could use some chemicals that are good for your skin. 

Some of the lab-made chemicals are incredibly beneficial for your skin (for example, Polysorbate). What natural ayurvedic products offer are skincare ingredients free from harmful chemicals like parabens, phthalates, artificial fragrances, etc

Conclusion

The market is filled with products claiming to be organic or natural. We advise you not to trust their words blindly and instead look at their ingredient list and the certification tag. These two things can help you identify good brands from a list of bad ones.
