Virgelina Exclusive Brand

We love these products and can’t say enough about their non-toxic benefits! Just wonderful.  

What a treat. All natural and they smell great. I've bought for my entire family. 

Organic products are the best cosmetics on the market today. I recommend them to everyone.

Summarizing, here are the pros and cons of both natural and regular cosmetics In either case, whether one chooses natural or regular cosmetics, it is wise to check whether ingredients in any product cause skin irritation or allergic reactions.

Pros of natural cosmetics

• contain natural ingredients found in nature
• have fewer/no harmful synthetic ingredients
• generally safe to use on sensitive skin usually eco-friendly

Pros of regular cosmetics

• longer shelf-life
• brighter due to synthetic pigments
• larger shade/colour selection
• less expensive and widely available

Cons of natural cosmetics

• shorter shelf life from a lack of synthetic preservatives
• natural pigments less vibrant than synthetic dyes

smaller shade/colour selections usually more expensive

Cons of regular cosmetics

• linked to unfavourable health effects
• contains more potentially harmful synthetic ingredients
• higher risk of allergic reactions
• may be harsh on sensitive skin
  

Check the packaging to ensure that you’re not sensitive to the ingredients.
