There are such a large number of products on the market which claim to be pure and free of any harmful chemicals or toxins. There are products which claim to be botanical skin care, organic skin care or holistic skin care products. Many of these products are very similar, safe and effective but if you don't know the difference in what the terms mean you may find that you are not happy with the products you choose.

A product can be a botanical skin care product and organic as well, but not all botanical products are organic. A botanical product is one that is plant based. Organic products are plant based as well, although some may be animal based as well. However you need to be aware that any product can include toxic ingredients unless it is labelled organic. It must be free of harmful chemical ingredients, and the plants used to make the products must also be free of harmful chemicals such as pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Why is it so important to have products which are all natural and which are free of harmful chemicals? It is because the skin is able to absorb toxins and harmful chemicals through it. Have you seen stop-smoking patches or motion sickness patches? These patches use a medication delivery system which causes the medications to enter the body through the skin.
In addition to avoiding the use of harmful chemicals, it is easier for the skin to absorb eltamd nutrients and beneficial elements from skincare products when the ingredients are as close to its natural state as possible. Every refining process a product goes through it loses some of its effectiveness and potency.
Often processes such as heating or cooking a product will destroy much of its medicinal value. Organic products try to make sure that the products are as whole and untouched as possible by processing methods. They often do not use preservatives since many commercial preservatives can have negative effects on your health.
If you want to use botanical skin care products, you should know that you are on the right track. You need to make sure you go one step further and select products which are organic, pure and unaltered in order to get the best skin refinement results possible.
Of all the ingredients used in skin care today, maracuja oil is one of the best when it comes to making your skin smooth and soft. Let me tell you a bit more about this wonderful gift of nature.
Maracuja is a kind of a passion fruit unique to Brazil and the Amazon area. The oil which is extracted from this plant is precious due to its many benefits. Maracuja oil is also often called passion flower oil, passiflora incanata, or passionfruit oil.
Maracuja oil has anti-inflammatory and healing properties and it can assist in repairing any skin damage you may have like acne, signs of age or the signs of excessive tanning. This is partly due to Vitamin C, which maracuja oil is loaded with. For the same reason, it can make your skin brighter. This oil is also rich in calcium and phosphorus, making it especially nourishing for your skin.
In addition to that, it's a great moisturizer. It is very high in linolenic acid, which is an essential fatty acid responsible for making your skin soft. In fact, maracuja oil has close to 80% of linoleic acid, the other acids being oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and linolenic acid.
It helps to regulate the production of sebum in the skin, which prevents your skin becoming either too oily or too dry. That means this oil can be used for any kind of skin types, from extra-sensitive to very dry to very oily: this oil can help you regardless of your skin type. In fact, often maracuja oil appears to be "smart," identifying your skin concerns on its own and delivering targeted nutrients wherever they are needed.
Its strength is its three-way way of working: it's replenishing, rehydrating and reparative, making it especially beneficial for aging skin.
Also important for aging skin: the oil contains loads of antioxidants that can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines by fighting free radicals in your body.
Maracuja oil is not only used in skin care products but also in other products like shampoo or bath oils. It is very valuable as massage oil, especially to people with arthritis.
Not only can maracuja be used for medical and cosmetic purposes: it is also highly nutritious and can be combined with different dishes, nourishing you from the inside. Not to mention that they taste delicious!
