The 4 Best Natural Eco-Friendly Face Moisturizers
In our last blog post, we looked at the best eco-friendly face washes with which you can treat your skin. It is a great habit that can lead to a healthy skincare routine. It freshens you up at regular intervals during the day, making you more productive and alert. If you stick with it for an extended period of time then you are going to reap the benefits of skin that looks young and full of life. It can make a huge difference to your skin’s health as the years stack up and the passage of time has its effect on the body. Today we are going to look at another item that we recommend that you incorporate into your skincare regimen.
Moisturizing is a very underrated skincare method that has enormous returns for a very low cost and time investment. All it takes is a few seconds a day and you can prevent your skin from drying, fight acne, protect the skin from the sun, and slow down the signs of aging. It is especially recommended if you have sensitive skin. A lot of people assume that moisturizing is not going to help them. We used to feel the same. After the research, we are kicking ourselves for not picking up this habit sooner.
About Hyaluronic acid
Now you are going to come across Hyaluronic acid a lot when you look for natural face moisturizers. Almost every one of our choices lists it and its benefits. Now, if you are like us, then you might feel a little apprehensive about using acid on your face. We want to let you know that you shouldn’t worry! Most substances are either acidic or basic. The range is described on the pH scale which is a way of quantifying the acidity or basicity of a chemical.
So just because something has acid in its name, doesn’t mean its bad! To come back to the start of this segue, Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally produced by the skin. It actually helps to keep the skin healthy. It heals wounds and keeps it soft and supple. So don’t worry about it being a synthetic chemical. It is not! You can trust it to be natural and good for your skin!
With that bit of information out of the way, let us dive into our list. We have picked out the best natural eco-friendly face moisturizers that you can buy on Amazon to keep your skin amazingly soft and lively.
Cardon Men’s Face Moisturizer
We are going to start off a moisturizer that has been made especially for men’s tough skin. It is recommended to be used at night before going to sleep. It contains plant-based ingredients like cactus extract and vitamin-enriched, anti-aging rosehip oil that hydrates and regenerates stressed skin. The gel formula forms a natural protective layer that prevents loss of moisture. The product is made paraben-free, sulfate-free, silicone-free, 100% cruelty-free in Korea. The packaging is simple and classy. The brand also makes a companion SPF+ Moisturizer which is recommended to be used before leaving the house during the day.
Aloe Infusion Body and Face Moisturizer
This one is made with 100% natural super-plants & organic seed/nut extracts like aloe vera, shea butter, coenzyme Q10, grape seed oil, manuka honey, and kukui nut oil. That is a very loaded ingredient list. Needless to say, the product delivers on the promise of its ingredients! Let us look at the ingredient list a little closer.
Organic aloe vera is the main ingredient used here. We are great fans of the herb. After bamboo, it must be the second most versatile plant that we come across in our research. The benefits of aloe vera on eczema have been known for centuries. It has over 75 vitamins and antioxidants which act in healing inflammations on the skin. It can soothe seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and other forms of eczema and psoriasis. Along with the aloe vera, the kukui nut oil and grape seed oil enrich the skin to heal acne and eczema without clogging pores or feeling greasy.
Era Organics Tea Tree Oil Face Cream
Tea tree oil has been used as a natural remedy for acne for centuries. This is one of the best natural eco-friendly face moisturizers that captures its qualities to moisturize the type of skin that is most susceptive to acne – oily skin. Thus it becomes effective against blemishes, blackheads, cystic acne, and redness. Other ingredients included are St. John’s Wort, pomegranate seed oil, salicylic acid, zinc, burdock root, dandelion root & goldenseal. That is an extremely exotic and eclectic selection. We love the idea of treating our skin to an almost potion-like creation.
This product also makes the bold claim of a 60 Day “Love It Or Your Money Back” manufacturer’s guarantee. Call us skeptical but it is not easy to prove or disprove that moisturizer has had an effect on the skin in such a short time. We will take the company’s word for it and let you know that in case this one doesn’t work out for you, a refund is an option.
Alba Botanica Hawaiian Oil-Free Moisturizer
This one is Amazon’s choice for its great price and excellent product reviews. It is made with antioxidant green tea, Gotu kola, cucumber, and aloe vera. It reduces the appearance of pores while lightly hydrating the skin. The moisturizer is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. It has been Leaping Bunny certified that assures the customer that the product was not tested on animals. Even the bottle that it comes in is made from 100% post-consumer resin. No synthetic fragrances and parabens are used in its manufacture.
That was our list of the best natural eco-friendly face moisturizers that use only the best ingredients. If you are going to start moisturizing then these choices are going to help keep your delicate skin away from harmful ingredients. Mother nature has blessed us with all the tools we need to get great care of ourselves. Scientists and researchers are extremely efficient at harnessing that goodness. All we have to do is make informed choices and to support the right products!
