5 Natural Skincare Ingredients You Should Know About

In the era of clean eating, savvy women are increasingly looking for clean and natural options to look after their biggest organ – the skin. Our bellas are no different, and you’ve told us time and again just how much you love natural skincare. But you also want results, which is why what has got us so excited about the Neutrogena Naturals range.

While some plant-based ingredients might not live up to their hype, there are some that absolutely do! If in doubt, read on for the run down on the Fab 5 of natural skincare ingredients, all found in the amazing Neutrogena Naturals range which we’re sampling this month.

Tara Seed

Skin feeling a little parched? Rich in Vitamin C, B and complex sugars, Peruvian Tara Seed boosts flagging moisture levels for a healthy, happy complexion.  

Willowbark

Willowbark is valued for its naturally detoxifying properties. Beneficial for acne and congestion, it boasts salicylic acid. This beta hydroxy acid (BHA) helps to unglue dull, dead skin cells from the skin’s surface and reduce breakout-causing blockages.  

Inca Inchi Oil

By now, you’ll know that oils are not the enemy! In fact, nothing beats an oil to deeply nourish skin and boost your glow. Inca Inchi Oil is another powerhouse Peruvian ingredient, feeding the skin with essential omega fatty acids – essential for soft, supple skin, as well as vitamins and bionutrients.

Yerba Mate Leaf Extract

This powerful antioxidant contains bionutrients and skin-loving Vitamins B, C and E. Found in South America, the anti-inflammatory extract helps minimise the signs of a less-than-saintly lifestyle (sun loving, smoking, drinking) by helping to neutralise free radical damage.

Lemon Peel Extract

The nemesis of dull, uneven skin, Lemon Peel Extract is a bionutrient with powerful skin brightening and unifying benefits.

With ZERO harsh chemicals, sulfates, parabens, petrolatum, dyes or phthalates, Neutrogena Naturals products contain an average of 94% natural ingredients. The 10 allergy-tested products enhance the skin’s beauty by combining the best of nature with the clinically proven expertise we’ve come to expect from Neutrogena.

As for those fluffy bunnies? You can rest assured no Neutrogena Naturals products are tested on animals. They also use up to 50% post-consumer recycled content in their bottles, their cartons are made from 100% recycled paper, and they’ve partnered with the Nature Conservancy to protect natural sources of clean water.
