Beauty: natural, safe and conscious

Siamo sempre più attenti agli ingredienti contenuti nei prodotti ed ormai sappiamo cosa evitare:

No to silicones that cover the skin preventing physiological perspiration

No mineral oils that are derived from oil and tend to clog the skin

No artificial dyes that have only decorative function and no usefulness for cosmetic effect

No SLES/SLS: surfactants that can be aggressive

No parabens because they can cause hormonal imbalances

Recently there is an ingredient in particular on which a great battle has begun all over the world: the microgranules, also called plastic microbeads, which are tiny plastic particles that are found in scrubs and exfoliants, today of great diffusion.

Plastic microbeads are very popular because they help to exfoliate, acting mechanically during washing, but inevitably during rinsing they pass through the sewage system going to pollute rivers, lakes, seas and oceans ending up in the food chain of fish, amphibians, molluscs and other animals, which humans feed on.

So we have to give up the scrub? No, just prefer those with natural exfoliating systems:

Imagea for example has in its line a scrub product, astringent for the oily scalp: Phytogommage.

One of the functional ingredients present in the formula of Phytogommage is Tamanu powder, an exfoliant of biodegradable natural origin that helps to remove excess sebum in an ultra-gentle way.

Other essential ingredients are proteins derived from barley, natural anti-irritants that create a non-occlusive film that helps protect the scalp and improves the level of hydration.
