Holistic beauty products are made using active ingredients that currently exist in nature, including minerals, plants and essential oils. Free of synthetic chemicals that can cause irritation, “these products incorporate ingredients that are 100 percent good for the skin and work with the body’s natural healing process, not against it,” says Barbara Close, founder of Naturopathica. “Many product lines use good active ingredients, but then choose base materials like preservatives and emulsifiers that are proven irritants, which can cause inflammation and skin aging.”
