Why are face creams without chemicals and silicones better for the skin?
Face creams without chemicals and silicones offer numerous benefits for natural skin care, mainly because they are less irritating and support the skin barrier. Here are the main reasons why such creams are often considered better for the skin:
- Compatibility: Creams without harsh chemical additives and silicones tend to be gentler on the skin. This makes them ideal for those with sensitive skin or skin conditions such as eczema or rosacea, as they are less likely to cause allergies, skin irritations or breakouts.
- Natural ingredients: Natural cosmetic face creams often use plant-based ingredients that are rich in vitamins, minerals and natural oils. These nutrients promote skin health and help nourish and regenerate the skin rather than just treating it superficially.
- environmental friendliness: Products without synthetic chemicals and silicones are not only good for the skin, but also for the environment. They are more biodegradable and their production has less impact on the environment. In addition, many brands that do not use such additives also avoid other environmentally harmful practices, such as excessive packaging or unsustainable raw material sources.
- Non-comedogenic: Many silicone-free face creams are non-comedogenic, meaning they won't clog pores. This is especially important for people with acne-prone or blemished skin, as it reduces the risk of blemishes and acne breakouts.
- promoting skin respiration: Unlike silicone-containing creams, which can form a barrier on the skin, silicone-free creams allow the skin to "breathe". This helps the skin to maintain its natural regulatory functions such as sweating and sebum production, which is essential for healthy skin function.
These aspects make face creams without chemicals and silicones a preferred choice for those who want to make not only their skin care but also their lifestyle more sustainable. You can find products like these in the Taiga Shop, where the focus is on environmentally friendly and sustainable cosmetic products.
How does using sustainable face creams contribute to protecting the environment?

- hydrogenating components: Ingredients like aloe vera, hyaluronic acid and vegetable glycerin are excellent for hydrating the skin. They help to retain moisture and keep the skin supple.
- antioxidants: Substances such as vitamin E, green tea extract and pomegranate extract provide antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from environmental damage and reduce the signs of aging.
- Essential oils and plant extracts: Essential oils such as lavender or rose and extracts of chamomile or calendula can have soothing properties and improve skin care while smelling pleasant.
