Natural Cosmetics Day – 23 November celebrations

1. Natural Cosmetics : A Nature Rescuer !

Those who switch to natural cosmetics reduce their ecological footprint and contribute to providing future generations with a healthy future worth living.

2. All about nature or what? The proof is in the seal.

The NATRUE or COSMOS Ecocert seal tells you whether a personal care product is genuinely natural. The NATRUE alliance was actually founded by lavera and other natural personal care product manufacturers in 2007. The seals were created to set binding standards for certified natural personal care products and provide consumers with a guarantee of tried and tested quality on the shelf. 

3. Not allowed in here!

Certified natural personal care products contain only vegetable oils and butters, and natural waxes, scents and colours. Paraffins, silicones, microplastics and synthetic fragrances on the other hand are banned. 

4. The power of plants – Nature works!

The myth that natural personal care products don’t do anything is a thing of the past. Nowadays, natural personal care products can easily compete with their conventional counterparts. Powerful ingredients such as Q10, collagen and hyaluronic acid, which are used in numerous anti-ageing products, can also be produced from natural plant sources. 

5. Smells so good!

While conventional products can dip into a range of 5000 synthetic fragrances, natural personal care products have only 400 natural scents to choose from, all of them based on essential oils. In fact, lavera is often used by consumers for its beautifully crafted fragrances. Lavera’s own Research & Development team not only works tirelessly to develop 100% natural innovative products, but it also creates the perfect scents to go with each one.

6. Good for your skin!

Conventional creams often contain artificial fragrances and preservatives. Certified natural personal care products on the other hand contain only natural ingredients which follow the example of nature. Natural personal care products are always a good choice, because the skin-similar substances they contain provide intense nourishment to the skin and strengthen its protective barrier. 

7. Time for a switch!

Silicones such as those found in conventional products, can form a film on the skin and fill wrinkles and pores. Certified natural skin care products are free from silicones and use only natural, skin-similar substances (such as lecithin) which are absorbed into the skin, providing lasting care. The skin learns to regenerate from within. 

8. Good for the environment!

In addition, silicones get into the groundwater not only via shampoos and conditioners, but also through face creams, make-up removers etc. Natural personal care products are formulated with ingredients which follow the example of nature and can safely be returned to the environment. 

9. Good packaging!

10. The colourful world of natural personal care!

It’s plain to see from shelves stocked with natural personal care products that they now include every product category you could possibly think of. From shampoo and body wash to anti-ageing treatments, there is something for every (skin and hair) type. lavera has 250 products in its range. From foot cream to make-up, the variety of natural products is endless.
