In today’s world, our bodies are constantly exposed to a range of toxins. From environmental pollution to synthetic chemicals in our food, water, and even personal care products, the toxic load on our system is increasing. At Soothe, we believe that what we put on our skin is just as important as what we put in our bodies. That’s why we choose to use natural and organic skincare—to protect you from the harmful effects of synthetic and questionable ingredients and help you and your skin stay naturally radiant and healthy.
The Impact of Synthetic Ingredients on Your Skin and Health
Our skin is the largest organ in the body, and it absorbs much of what we apply to it*. Unfortunately, many conventional skincare products are packed with synthetic chemicals, fragrances, and preservatives that can have long-term implications for your health. Ingredients like parabens, phthalates, and sulfates, commonly found in non-organic products, can disrupt the body’s hormone balance, contribute to skin irritation, and even lead to more serious health issues over time.
For example, parabens, which are used as preservatives in many beauty products, have been linked to hormone disruption and may affect fertility and reproduction. Similarly, synthetic fragrances, often hiding under the term “fragrance” or “parfum,” can cause allergic reactions, skin sensitivity, and contribute to headaches or nausea. When these toxins enter your body, they accumulate and burden your immune system, potentially leading to more significant health challenges down the line.
Why Organic Skincare Matters
Organic skincare products, on the other hand, are free from these harmful chemicals and instead use plant-based ingredients that nourish and protect the skin in the most natural way possible. Organic ingredients are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilisers, or GMOs, ensuring that your skincare is as pure and gentle as nature intended.
By choosing organic products, you’re not only supporting your skin’s health but also reducing the toxic load on your body. Organic skincare is designed to work in harmony with your skin’s natural processes, helping to rejuvenate, hydrate, and restore without introducing harmful substances that could disrupt your health.
The Benefits of Organic Skincare:
Gentler on the Skin: Organic ingredients are often more soothing and less likely to cause irritation, making them ideal for sensitive skin. They’re free from harsh chemicals that can strip your skin of its natural oils and cause dryness or redness.
Anti-Ageing Properties: Many organic skincare products are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that fight free radicals, helping to prevent signs of premature ageing like wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.
Eco-Friendly: Organic skincare brands like Estime & Sens are often committed to sustainable farming practices that protect the planet. By choosing organic, you’re supporting environmentally friendly practices that help preserve our ecosystem.
No Hidden Toxins: When you choose organic skincare, you can be confident that the ingredients are safe, clean, and free from harmful chemicals. With organic, what you see is what you get—no hidden, toxic additives or questionable substances.
The Bottom Line
At Soothe, we are committed to providing you with skincare that’s both effective and safe. By opting for organic skincare, we ensure that you’re giving your skin the best possible care without exposing your body to toxic chemicals. Our range of products, such as the Estime & Sens Instant Radiance Scrub, uses natural ingredients that protect your skin from damage while helping you maintain a youthful glow. With organic skincare, you’re not only choosing products that work wonders for your skin, but you’re also making a choice to support your overall health and well-being.
Choosing organic skincare is an investment in your health—your skin will thank you, and so will your body.
*The statement "it absorbs much of what we apply to it" is generally true. The skin does absorb some of the substances we apply to it, especially if they are in small molecular forms or are designed to penetrate the skin barrier, such as certain active ingredients in skincare products. However, the degree to which the skin absorbs substances varies based on factors like the substance's molecular size, the condition of the skin, and the presence of other barriers (such as the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin).
For example, ingredients like moisturisers, some oils, and active compounds (like retinoids or hyaluronic acid) can be absorbed into the skin to a certain extent. On the other hand, larger molecules or those that don't have specific formulations for penetration (such as most heavy creams or oils) may stay on the surface.
While it's true that the skin absorbs certain ingredients, it’s important to note that not everything applied to the skin will be absorbed into the bloodstream or have systemic effects. However, some ingredients, particularly harmful chemicals like parabens and phthalates, can enter the body through the skin and accumulate over time, which is why many people choose skincare products that are free from such substances.
