What are the benefits of exclusively using organic / natural personal care products?
I just researched all the ingredients in my regular haircare and skincare products and I'm really shocked at how many of them are classified as possible carcinogens! Will I benefit from choosing organic / natural / herbal / homemade personal care products? Just wondering as I've been using synthetic products all my life and haven't suffered any ill effects. Although natural is probably best in the longterm. What do you guys think?
There are none (well some people seem to feel good about paying more for inferior products).
There are probably just as many possible carcinogens in 'organic' products anyway (hell, practically everything is a possible carcinogen, it just depends on the dose). Realistically if you feed a lot of something to a lab rat you'll probably be able to induce cancer but the amount given to the lab rat will be a lot higher than what you'll end up eating, to the point at which there's no need to worry about it (and naturally occurring foods tend to have a lot of nasty things in them, they aren't the good, healthy, clean foods their proponents would like you to think they are).
You haven't suffered any ill effects because synthetic products are in general safer than natural products (which typically haven't even been tested properly).
