2nd June 2010 - Huge support for natural skin care products

Research from natural beauty expert Janey Lee Grace found that women care more about natural ingredients than using a famous skin care brand.

The survey of 1,000 women investigated attitudes towards natural skin care, with results showing that many hold such products in high regard.

Two thirds of respondents said that they use organic skin care products because they prefer cosmetics that are made without synthetic chemicals. Around half said that they use mineral make up, whilst 70% said that they regularly use organic shower gel or soap.

The survey also revealed the items of makeup that women value the most: their lipstick and their foundation. When asked which cosmetic they would keep if they could only have one, 40% chose foundation, whilst 30% went for lipstick.

"Beauty, glamour and style"

Janey Lee Grace commented: “The words ‘beauty’, ‘glamour’ and ‘style’ can be linked with the word ‘natural’ without a thought of sackcloth! We can still have our lipstick and a clear conscience.

“There a 100 percent natural alternative to everything from nail polish to self tan so in fact it’s now easy for women to save their skin, their cash and the planet while still looking gorgeous.”

Only 6% of those surveyed said that they were not committed to using natural skin care products.
