Never trying plant base ingredients should be a crime. We are living in an ingredient conscious world and learning to be aware of what we eat and apply on our bodies.

With the rise in popularity of plant base ingredients, many commercial products have began to get a bad reputation. The incredible benefits that come from plant base products are undeniable and help our health in the long run. While plants are simple they provide a lot of results that can transform your skin for the better.

Below are four reasons why you have to try plant based products 

The ingredients are simple to understand and safe

Often times we don’t know what we are using, especially with the way many of the commercial products have been formulated. Regardless of what products you prefer it is important to research your ingredients some of them are harmful. Some of these formulas can cause health concerns due to the harmful ingredients which can potentially lead to cancers, reproductive issues and other health problems. However depending on what product you use sometimes the names of the ingredients are foreign then when you research it you still don’t understand if it benefits or hurts you. While not all preservatives or chemicals ingredients out there are as bad as they seem, plant base ingredients simplify the level of intricacy that comes with trying to understand what we are using and reduce the chances of absorbing harmful substances. 

The results can be fast and effective

Often times a person can be struggling to relieve a problem area for years and run into little to no results or the area can worsen with the usage of certain products. Many plant base ingredients have a tendency to not only increase the chances of effective results that show improvement of the problem area, but the results also occur in a quicker more timely manner.  

It is an affordable way to maintain healthy skin and hair

Spending sucks, especially when there is a more affordable way to achieve great and effective results. There are products that cost $50-$100 or more to benefit the skin alone and the results may not even be to your liking after the investment.

Many plant based ingredients improve the quality of not just the skin, but also the hair. Plant based ingredients can serve multiple purposes, this way you are accessing a variety of functions (not just one) that serves to benefit the health and appearance of the skin and hair. This allows you to save a lot more. Shea Butter for example can reduce the appearance of acne, fine lines and firm the skin. For the hair Shea Butter can strengthen the hair follicles, reduce dandruff, promote hair growth and more. These attributes eliminate the need to buy multiple products, because this one ingredient tackled multiple hair and skin issues and improved those areas. 

No more getting catfished by big companies 

While commercial products can incorporate plant ingredients such as Shea Butter, Aloe Vera and more in their formula, the ingredients will only really contain a small percentage of what is being promoted and then about 90% or more of the other ingredients will encompass water and other substances. So while the product has a plant base ingredient promoted on the label or within the commercial only 2%-10% of that ingredient will actually be in there and your skin is really just absorbing everything else. You don’t have to worry about this when you seek products that are primarily plant based as you are positioning yourself to be able to benefit more from the majority of that ingredient.

If you have never given plant based ingredients a try, these four benefits are a great representation of how beneficial plant they can be.
