Small budgets: how to go organic?

Consume locally, favor organic products, choose brands that respect people and the environment… There is no shortage of good intentions when it comes to taking care of your beauty and defending your ecological commitments. But how can you adopt an organic beauty routine while preserving your budget? How to have fun in complete transparency? Centifolia has many solutions!

What is an organic cosmetic product?

Unlike the regulations around natural cosmetic products which can seem vague, the regulations around organic cosmetics are very well regulated. A cosmetic treatment of organic origin has a formula free of pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers, GMOs and artificial flavors. These components, which are often found in conventional cosmetics, can have consequences on our body.

By opting for certified products, it is above all our health that is preserved. To formulate its cosmetic products, the Centifolia brand refers to the Cosmos organic certification which requires that 95% of the formula’s ingredients from agriculture be certified organic. Centifolia places great importance on selecting natural ingredients that are certified organic and as often as possible of French origin.
Different certifying bodies exist to control and guarantee the application of these requirements, such as Ecocert, for example, which carries out rigorous checks several times a year on the companies and brands involved.

The eco-design of packs is also at the heart of concerns when designing organic products with a limitation of excess packaging and the use of packaging made from recycled plastic. This is particularly the case for the range of shampoos which uses 100% recycled and recyclable PET.

Beyond formulation and packaging, there is an entire business philosophy that revolves around organic cosmetics with concrete commitments to the environment, the promotion of well-being at work and the desire to offer products exclusively designed and manufactured in France.

When beauty routine rhymes with low prices

Contrary to popular belief, adopting an organic and committed beauty routine does not necessarily mean exceeding your budget. From shower gel to shampoo to body, hair or facial care, it is entirely possible to reconcile your commitments and your budget with inexpensive organic products, formulated from ingredients from organic farming, which are truly healthy and transparent.

To save money on your organic beauty budget, you can:

• Favor large containers, for example by choosing shampoos or shower gels that you can share with loved ones.
• Make your own products: Vegetable oils, floral waters, clay or aloe vera gel: Centifolia offers you a DIY cosmetic range which brings together all the essential and natural ingredients to make your own cosmetics.
• Opt for simple formulas such as clay beauty masks. Mixed with water, our clays make excellent facial masks to eliminate impurities. Yellow, pink or white, each of them is suitable for a skin type, even the most sensitive. You can add a delicate fragrance to this homemade cosmetic product by replacing the water with one of our floral waters such as rose floral water for example. 100% organic and vegan vegetable oils are products with many advantages. They are ideal for gently removing eye and lip makeup and are also an excellent treatment to nourish the body and hair on a daily basis.
• Take advantage of sales periods to treat yourself at low prices
• Finally, the best advice is to remain reasonable in your purchases, to only buy the essentials that you will be sure to use in the coming months. For example, a vegetable oil is a natural cosmetic product that can be used in different ways: for facial care as a substitute for day and night cream, to nourish the body, the hair and even to moisturize the lips! It is also important to favor local commerce and local shops.
