More women could be tempted to choose natural skin care in the future, after it emerged that many currently don't know what ingredients are in their usual cosmetics.
A survey at the Portland State University in Oregon discovered that two-thirds (63 per cent) of the women polled said that they didn't know about what was in their make-up and personal care products, which could leave them at risk of suffering bad reactions to some chemicals.
The report also found that women between 17 and 30 use at least 10 different products each day, including moisturisers and shampoo, with many using them on a daily basis, despite not knowing what's in them.
Here at Green People, our natural skin care is just that – we provide certified organic products and no harsh chemicals like parabens or SLS.
