So what's a better alternative? Natural cosmetics! Consider switching to completely natural products, which perform to same standard as their non-natural counterparts. Whether you are a makeup artist or an esthetician that may use cosmetics every day or a consumer who applies occasional moisturizer, we may not see any immediate effects from current products we are using. Even though we are all dying for beautiful skin, keep in mind healthy alternatives. We only have one skin, so care for it properly. By Maggie Ng, Make-up Artist

Great looking skin does not mean flawless, masked skin. Rather, lets reconstruct our notions of what constitutes 'beautiful skin' and 'beautiful faces', because perfection does not exist in natural world, nor does it exist in human beings. Computers, cameras, lighting and other sophisticated technologies create "flawlessness", to create an ideal image no one can attain. Instead, beautiful skin and natural beauty is skin that is free from harmful chemicals, hydrated from within and on surface, fed with balanced nutrition and wise food choices, and regulated with reasonable exercise. A positive outlook on life and an optimistic perspective also contribute to natural beauty, inside and out. How organic make-up company Can Help You Achieve Your Own Natural Beauty Our products are made fresh for you once we receive your order. We do not stock inventory, so our cosmetics do not require powerful shelf life lengtheners or potent synthetic preservatives. The preservatives we use are natural, such as wheatgerm oil, grapeseed oil, tocopherol acetate (vitamin E) and/or ascorbic acid (vitamin C). While our products do not need refrigeration, our creams, as they contain water, are best stored in a cool, dark place, away from steam, light or unnecessary exposure to air. Our packaging is simple, without fancy and unnecessary labels, boxes or inserts. We believe very strongly that purchasing power of your money should be directed towards a natural, high quality product, rather than wasted on packaging. We invite you to give our natural products a try. We do not make any unrealistic or unscientific claims, such as anti-aging or wrinkle elimination, which are impossible in any cosmetic. We develop our products based on sound scientific principles and physiology of skin. Our products will convince you on their own merit, since they are natural, vegan and an excellent alternative to conventional cosmetics and make-up. If you have any questions, please contact us at www.organicmakeup.ca. Interested in selling our products?
