Why use natural skincare?
Or, put another way, ‘Why NOT use natural skincare?!’
Gone are the days when ‘going natural’ was something reserved only for the seriously dedicated environmentalist. No longer does it require deep pockets and a heavy dose of compromise. It’s a choice that’s more accessible than ever, and offers many advantages to the user.
There are lots of claims flying around the internet about dangerous chemicals being absorbed into the body, most of which are unhelpful, misleading or downright wrong. Here at Siam Botanicals, we’re not interested scaremongering. We simply believe that natural skincare products are best, not only because they DON’T contain artificial chemicals but, even more importantly, because they DO contain botanical ingredients that offer benefits not found in synthetic alternatives.
Take lavender essential oil, for example: we choose it because it has antiseptic and antibacterial properties, it tones and revitalises the skin and can help to ease headaches and muscular pain. The fact that is also smells fabulous is an important added bonus! Synthetic lavender fragrance, on the other hand, is not only a poor imitation of the real thing; it also offers absolutely no benefit to the user. Its only purpose is to make the product smell of lavender (sort of) – and, of course, to save money.
At Siam Botanicals we’re committed to the responsible sourcing of top-quality natural skincare ingredients that deliver results. Look at our ingredients list – we use only cold pressed oils and herb, flower and fruit extracts. No synthetic chemicals, no artificial preservatives. Despite this, our products have an average shelf life of 18 months. And why would you want them to last any longer than that?
You don’t need to have undergone some kind of Damascene conversion to a super-green way of life in order to choose our natural skincare products. Choose them for exactly the same reasons you might consider another brand: because they smell gorgeous, they make you feel good and they WORK! The fact that they’re 100% natural and environmentally safe is the icing on the cake.
