Why Only Use Certified Organic Oils

 

Certified Organic oil must be certified by third parties in order to be free of conventional pesticides. This means the oil was made from organic farmers who did not use pesticides or artificial chemicals.

Why not choose organic oil whenever possible? Organic oil is better for the environment than conventional oil. Organic farming practices improve soil health and prevent harmful chemicals entering water sources such as streams. The use of conventional pesticides can also result in a decline in wildlife diversity and the population.

Organic farming is also less likely to produce greenhouse gases than traditional farming, and it is more efficient in terms energy consumption.

 

Organic oils are better for the environment and for our health.

However, there is one caveat. It is possible to still use organic oils. Many growers don't use pesticides, but can afford organic certification. Pesticides are not required for most plants that are strong and resistant to pests, such as olive trees. It is not necessary to be certified. Certification as Organic is a way to be certain that your oils are free of harmful chemicals and additives.

What to Avoid?

Essential oils should not be used in excess. Instead, you should dilute them with carrier oils to avoid side effects. You should not use diluted oils if you are using pure oil such natural Argan oil for your skin. Some brands are known to mix low-quality oils with cheaper ones. This is similar to what you will find in grocery stores. These oils won't be as beneficial for your skin as organic oils.

To avoid this, choose a brand that's USDA Certified Organic. You can be sure that only organic oils are used and not low-quality, refined oils by checking the ingredient list. Make sure there are no fillers. Other than a natural preservative, your oil doesn't need any other ingredients.

Face Vs. Body oils

Oils can soften the skin. Some oils are better for your skin and body than others.

Some heavier oils can make your pores clog easily. These oils are richer in oleic acids (think avocados or marula oils). These oils can be used for oily skin and those with sensitive skin. These skin types can use oils with higher levels Linoleic Acid. There are many options for oils that can be used to moisturize these skin types, including grape seed oil and organic castor oil.

Organic oils are safer than synthetic ones, no matter what skin type. Because there are no potential side effects or harmful chemicals, you are less likely to have a reaction. Organic jojoba oils are a good option. It replicates the natural skin structure and restores your moisture barrier.

These 6 tips will help you choose and use organic oils.

1. During the winter months, oil can be used to seal in moisture. Winter skin can be especially dry, so you may need more occlusive oils.

2. To complement your anti-aging efforts, look for oil that is rich in vitamin A, C, or E. Vitamin A and C are high-in rosehip oil, while vitamin E is high on sunflower oil.

3. Avoid mineral oils. These oils are not organic and are made from petroleum. They can be too heavy and greasy to use for many people and can clog pores.

4. As your first step, use pure oil from plants. This oil can help to remove and dissolve any makeup, so your skin can be clean.

5. A few drops of oil can be added to your moisturizer. Your moisturizer can be more occlusive if you add oil. This tip works well if you don’t have to separate oil and moisturizer.

6. Your organic oil should be used in the last stages of your skincare routine. If your oil is light and absorbent, you can use it before your moisturizer. If your oil is more heavy, you can use it after.

Organic oils are beneficial for all skin types, no matter what season it is. It is crucial to select the best oil for your skin.
