What are Natural Products? 什麼是天然產品 ?
Why should we choose natural products in our skincare routines?
We must have asked ourselves these questions many times before and now let’s explore our understanding…
The definition of natural products, varies depends on the fields to which they are applied. Within the field of cosmetics, natural products refer to products that are produced from natural resources without artificial ingredients. Natural resources can further be categorized into “Renewable” and “Non-renewable” resources. “Renewable” resources are constantly available or can be reasonably replaced or recovered while “Non-renewable” resources are resources that cannot be replaced once destroyed. Examples of “Renewable” resources include water, plants, land, soil, forests…etc. These are resources that exist in nature. Examples of “Non-renewable” resources include fossil fuels, minerals…etc. Natural resources form the basis of life.
Did you know that most of what we put onto our skin enters our blood stream within 26 seconds? Additionally, it is estimated by the Environmental Working Group that the average woman’s daily personal care products contain over 160 chemicals. Since some of the chemicals that go into the skin care products are not regulated, it is still unclear on the risk and impacts these chemicals may bring to our bodies. So, shouldn’t we be concerned and be more selective on the ingredients as used on our skin care products?
That’s why use of natural ingredients in our skin care products is hitting the home tuff and gaining popularity globally over the years.

我們為什麼耍在護膚程序中選擇天然產品？
我們一定問過自己這個問題很多次，現在讓我們探討一下我們在這方面的理解……
天然產品的定義取決於它們應用的領域。在化妝品的領域，天然產品是指由天然資源生產而不含人造成分的產品。天然資源可進一步分為"可再生"和"不可再生"資源。"可再生"資源是不斷可用或可以合理地替換或恢復，而"不可再生"資源是一旦被破壞就無法替換的資源。"可再生"資源的例子包括水，植物，土地，土壤，森林……等。這些是自然界中存在的資源。"不可再生"資源的例子包括化石燃料，礦物質……等。自然資源是生命的基礎。
你是否知道我們搽在皮膚上大部分的物質會在26秒內進入我們的血液中？此外，根據環境工作組估計，婦女日常用的個人護理產品平均含有160多種化學品。由於用在護膚品的一些化學物質是不受管制，因此目前還不清楚這些化學物質對我們身體帶來什麼影響和風險。那麼，我們是否要關注我們護膚品中使用的成分？這因素正是令天然護膚品在全球越來越受歡迎的原因。
