Recently, people have been leaning more towards natural ingredients, for their ecofriendly properties.
Natural ingredients are often more gentle on the skin than synthetic ingredients and don’t strip away natural oils and moisture. Aloe vera, coconut oil, vitamin C and hylauronic acid are examples of common natural ingredients found in skincare products. While they have many great properties and are more gentle on the skin, if the ingredients are sourced directly from nature, without synthesizing or stabilizing in a lab environment, they are more likely to go bad faster. When using a product with natural ingredients, it is best to use it as soon as possible before it goes bad.
Synthetic ingredients in skincare products can be more beneficial than natural ingredients due to their stability and consistency. They will last much longer than natural ingredients. Examples of common synthetic ingredients found in products would be sulfates, silicones and retinoids The downside is that some of these ingredients can cause irritation or allergic reactions.
