Why Organic Skin Care is Best

Organic Ingredients found in Santa Barbara Sage skin care

1. Proven Science & Non-Toxic Ingredients

Organic skin care began making headlines in the 70’s when biologist and scholar of naturopathy Jean Paul Llopart teamed up with esthetician Rosanne Verléfor to create the world’s first organic skin care line formulated for estheticians. Llopart and Verléfor were passionate about creating products that targeted and repaired specific skin issues like acne, dry skin and premature aging. With scientific proof backing them up it was clear that organic plant-based ingredients dramatically improved skin health.

Being a product from the 70’s I remember the available skin care lines. There was Noxzema for teens, Pond’s, which was a fixture on every mother’s bathroom counter and of course Oil of Olay for those who really wanted to get serious about their skin care. The ingredients in products were mostly synthetic with lots of skin plumping silicone, petroleum, animal derivatives and toxic preservatives. A lot has changed in the world of organic skin care, science has evolved, and scientists now have the technology to create active anti-aging ingredients from plants.

2. High-Performance Ingredients

Organic skin care products made with high-performance ingredients are incredibly popular because of the scientifically proven results that women are experiencing. Some of these powerhouse ingredients include stem cells from the rare Uttwiler Spatlauber apple tree responsibly sourced in Switzerland and marveled for its preserving abilities. Potent collagen boosting lupeol from the seed coatings of white lupine responsibly sourced in France has shown dramatic skin firming and contouring results. And sugarecane extract… what a sweet surprise, with lactic and glycolic acids it is incredibly versatile due to its ability to stimulate cell renewal, soften and hydrate the skin. These are just a few stellar high-performance ingredients that can be found in organic skin care products today.

 3. Ethical & Wise

There are many excellent reasons why using organic skin care is a wise choice. We all understand that it is important to nourish our body, our skin also requires the same care and nourishment to maximize the longevity of a youthful, vibrant complexion. Organic skin care products are gentle yet effective on the skin, and they offer immediate, long-term benefits by providing the skin with the nutrients it craves and needs to retain moisture, promote healthy cell renewal, and boost skin tightening collagen production - the elements needed for lifelong, beautiful skin.

Organic skin care formulation is not just about making products with organic ingredients. It’s a planet friendly, eco sustainable way of doing business and requires ethical standards. Ingredients must be responsibly sourced, and products must contain organic ingredients without pesticides. At Santa Barbara Sage organic beauty is our philosophy. We care about your skin and create products that you will love and come back to.
