So why is it so important to use organic body care, anyway? Aside from the obvious benefits to the environment, organic products are also better for you. Studies have shown that ingredients grown with organic practices actually retain more vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants than those grown conventionally. The skin is the largest sensory organ in the body, and while it is a protective barrier, it is also tasked with absorbing nutrients, and getting rid of toxins. Healthy skin is a reflection of a healthy you. You know the saying "you are what you eat." Well, you are what you slather too.
