A Simple Guide to Reading Natural Skincare Labels

Natural skincare labels can be confusing. Instead of judging a product by one buzzword, look at the full ingredient list and the product’s intended use.

What to compare

• Fragrance and essential oils, especially if your skin is sensitive
• Active ingredients and their position in the ingredient list
• Preservatives and packaging instructions
• Patch-test guidance and the manufacturer’s usage directions

“Natural” does not automatically mean suitable for every skin type. Introduce one new product at a time and stop using it if irritation develops.
