Chemical vs Natural vs Ayurveda

The words “chemical” and “natural” are used as if they are vastly different. But in reality, they are usually misinterpreted.

There are many brands out there that promote products labeled as natural but if you think about it, are they any different from the chemical ones? 

Let’s dig deeper and chalk out the differences between chemical, natural, and ayurvedic skincare products.

Chemical-based Skincare Products

If we talk about the composition, chemical-based products are made of synthetic ingredients. These ingredients sure are effective if you’re looking for a temporary fix for your skin but constant use of these chemicals has a downside. 

One can say that chemical skincare products do more bad than good. How? 

The chemicals used in the products are extremely harsh and increase the chances of skin allergies, hypersensitivity, inflammation, and rashes. 

To add more, it breaks down the natural elastin of our body, accelerates the whole aging process and tends to sag your skin. 

Is Ayurveda the same too?

If we talk about Ayurveda, one can say it’s one step further! If natural products are known to use a blend of natural ingredients to provide you with skincare, Ayurveda is known how to exactly use those natural ingredients and in what exact proportion and manner.

Or as we’d like to explain, to make a great dish, you need the right ingredients, but you also need the right recipe. That’s the exact difference between natural and Ayurveda.

Ayurveda is a science that dates back to 5000 years ago. Back then, there were no synthetic preservatives to store a product. So people had to resort to natural ones they found deep in the indigenous forests! 

So one can say, Ayurvedic products are really natural and clean as compared to their counterparts. 

Ingestible ingredients are the cornerstone of Ayurvedic beauty. This 5000-year-old mystic science does not recommend putting anything on your skin that you can’t eat and that is why the ingredient booklet of an Ayurvedic product may seem like a recipe from your cookbook or your garden flora. For example, the ingredients used in Ayurvedic origin’s facial oils may make you feel the same! 

These ingredients are known to nourish and treat your skin in a natural way. They assist your body in slowing down the aging process which creates younger, vibrant-looking skin.

What makes Ayurveda unique, is its approach towards physical ailments, the foundation comprising of in-depth understanding of the human body and focusing more on addressing the cause rather than subsiding the effect.
