Going natural has many benefits. Good for your hair health and better for the environment, revealing your natural hair is an essential step in your beauty routine.
In this article, LAO gives you 3 good reasons to switch to natural cosmetics.
A healthier composition
Many controversial ingredients are still used in cosmetics. Silicones, sulfates, and endocrine disruptors can all affect the health of your hair.
-
Silicones give your hair a false impression of softness. In the long run, they suffocate the hair fiber and weigh it down.
-
Sulfates are cleansing and foaming agents. In excessive doses, they become aggressive, damaging the scalp and drying out hair.
-
Some parabens used as preservatives are suspected of being endocrine disruptors . They have consequences for our health and can cause allergies.
To restore the true nature of your hair, it is best to avoid these ingredients and opt for natural compositions that are gentler on your hair.
To begin your transition to natural hair, you can use a clarification treatment with sodium carbonate or clay to deeply cleanse your hair and remove excess absorbed products.
Caution : Clarification is not recommended for sensitive scalps as the pH of baking soda is very acidic.
Preserve the environment
Choosing natural and organic cosmetics allows for a more controlled impact on the environment. Indeed, organic farming guarantees the absence of chemical fertilizers and additives, adheres to a charter that aims to respect the environment, and uses resources sustainably.
Ecocert and Cosmebio certifications should therefore be taken into consideration when choosing your cosmetic products.
Having a low environmental impact also depends on the origin of the ingredients . Favoring local ingredients is a good way to reduce the carbon impact and promote the Made in France. This is why we work with local producers. You will find in our cleansing care nettle, hand-picked in the Eastern Pyrenees and hemp, grown in Alsace .
Effective products
There are a multitude of natural and effective ingredients. Vegetable oils like sweet almond oil, olive oil, and broccoli oil have numerous benefits. The same goes for hydrosols, which are suitable for all hair and scalp types.
Having effective ingredients in generous quantities allows you to reduce the number of ingredients in the final product. It's better to focus on quality rather than quantity!
