With its multiple health and environmental benefits, it’s no wonder that so many of us are making the jump to organic.
So, how does an organic perfume differ from its synthetic counterparts? Listed below are just some of the unique qualities that define a natural fragrance:
- Contains natural ingredients
- Free from harmful chemicals and synthetic compounds
- Good for the environment
- Creates a pleasing, personalised scent
- Highly moisturising and suitable for dry, sensitive skin
- Promotes a sense of wellbeing
Here, we’ll take you through a few reasons as to why organic perfumes are so beneficial and why you should consider switching from synthetic products to more natural alternatives. We’ll also recommend some great items from our organic range to get you started.
All-natural ingredients
Did you know that 60% of what you put onto your skin is actually absorbed into the body? While this is a worrying statistic, using organic products that contain natural ingredients significantly lessens the risk of introducing harmful chemicals into your system.
Whether it be with your skincare, haircare, perfume, or all three, going organic is great for your wellbeing. Plus, organic products are generally better for the environment, too. Even more reason to try them out for yourself!
Thinking of making the switch to organic? You can find lots of high-quality products in our organic skincare and bodycare range.
Essential oils
Organic perfumes are loaded with essential oils, which can have a positive impact on your general health and wellbeing when inhaled or absorbed. Derived from natural sources such as seeds, flowers, fruit and leaves, essential oils can help elevate your mood, reduce anxiety, and ground you.
If you’re feeling stressed after a long day, using products infused with these oils can help alleviate worry and leave you feeling relaxed and pampered.
The same goes for organic haircare products, which contain lots of natural goodness to help restore health and leave hair feeling sleek, shiny and rejuvenated. We recommend the Natural World chia seed oil conditioner as a great introductory organic formula. Infused with chia seed oil which is renowned for its nourishing and moisturising properties, this conditioner works to strengthen hair and maximise volume.
A personal touch
One of the most pleasing qualities of organic perfumes is their ability to expand and linger on the skin. This means that the ingredients tend to fuse with the chemistry of the wearer to produce a completely unique and personal fragrance.
If you fancy the idea of your own individual perfume, consider trying out an organic option. The scent of essential oils also changes throughout the day, so your fragrance will be constantly evolving to create a fusion of delight for the senses.
Natural scent
Non-organic perfumes are created in a synthetic environment by mixing together lots of different ingredients, whereas organic perfumes give off a much more refined aroma, meaning less of an artificial experience. Natural scents tend to linger rather than overpower.
Expect the pleasant, but not overbearing, release of essential oils when you opt for organic alternatives. Whether you love the smell of rose or you’re partial to the sweet fragrance of vanilla, there are lots of brands on the market which offer some of the best organic perfumes in a range of inviting scents.
For a treat for your skin and the senses, we recommend the Eco By Sonya lemongrass body wash. Made up of a combination of two luxurious essential oils, it provides an uplifting and gentle cleanse for the hands, face and body.
Moisturising feel
Organic perfumes do not contain any harmful chemicals, so they’re safe for use when applied to the skin. If you’re allergic to conventional perfume or you’re prone to skin conditions, you might be pleased to know that natural fragrances will not cause any inflammation or discomfort.
Due to the natural ingredients found in these perfumes, they’re also highly moisturising and non-irritating, so they’re a great choice for those with dry, sensitive skin. If you suffer with redness or rashes, consider trying out organic fragrances for a more comfortable experience.
A sense of wellbeing
A sense of wellbeing Organic fragrances work in harmony with the body to produce beneficial effects for your health and wellbeing. The natural oils found in organic products are great for your skin. They contain antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties which can trigger cell renewal, improve skin conditions, and even help fight infections.
