Once you get into the natural and organic trend it is really so much better !

Unfortunately, big commercial manufacturers slap marketing words around so people "think" they are good for you. Sypport smaller companies like Lady Emily among others that don't use fancy, expensive advertisements and packaging! Healthy ingredients listed on the label should be very important to consumers.

One must read the label and do the homework to understand what is in the product and whether it is something we want to put on our skin (or in our bodies)! Some natural ingredients (especially essential oils like peppermint, lemon balm, peru balsam - they are extremely irritating) and most chemicals are best kept off the skin, but sometimes they are necessary to ensuring a product is safer for us than if they didn't contain them (eg. a preservative). A healthy balance is what it is all about - read the label and be aware of what you are putting on your skin. Go for natural skin care, but be sure you are getting something effective, not just a pretty botanical soup. Also, be sure the product is well preserved so that you don't end up with germ-contaminated products on your face!
