Discover Saper's award-winning natural and organic cosmetics

Yes, all our products are 100% natural and all have more than 90% organic ingredients and are certified with the BioVidaSana standard, and inspected by Bio.inspecta.

Natural cosmetics are those that contain mainly natural ingredients, i.e. obtained directly from nature, or processed, but of natural origin. Natural cosmetics, therefore, contain conventional ingredients, i.e. they do not have to protect the environment, and they almost always contain refined ingredients, so they will have lost many vitamins and antioxidants.

Organic cosmetics are those that contain mainly ingredients from organic farming, from 80% organic ingredients.

Organic ingredients, in addition to growing without pesticides and taking care of the environment, are first cold-pressed, so they are more effective. This helps us to improve results and fight against premature aging caused by the sun, pollution, free radicals, or stress.

No, it is not the same, in fact natural cosmetics and organic cosmetics are very different. There is a lot of confusion with these terms:

Ecological, organic or bio cosmetics are certified natural cosmetics, which also contain a high percentage of ingredients that come from organic farming.

Certified cosmetics are natural cosmetics, which may or may not contain organic ingredients. Whether natural or organic, it cannot contain: synthetic or petroleum-derived ingredients, endocrine disruptors, parabens, phthalates, kerosenes or silicones, among other ingredients that are toxic to health and the environment.

All certified organic cosmetics are natural, but not all natural cosmetics are organic.

The main difference between natural and organic cosmetics is the % of organic ingredients in the product . Let’s first look at the differences between the ingredients.

• Natural ingredient: they come from nature, but are usually refined, losing many valuable vitamins and antioxidants. The natural ingredients have been produced with pesticides. How? with pesticides? Yes, all certifiers allow natural ingredients from conventional (not organic) agriculture. In addition, in many cases the ingredients will be refined, subjected to high temperatures and organic solvents, so that many of their vitamins and antioxidant power will be lost during the process. That is why it is important that they are environmentally friendly.
• Organic ingredient: it comes from organic farming, i.e. it has been grown without pesticides, but they are also unrefined ingredients, first cold pressed, so they keep their vitamins and antioxidants intact, which is what the skin needs.

It is becoming more and more important to use cosmetics that take care of our health, but also of the environment, so we should all use organic cosmetics.

Without a doubt, all reports point to growth of over 10% per year. Data suggest that the value of natural cosmetics will reach 5 billion euros by 2023.

Natural cosmetics is part of a great change in our habits worldwide. Citizens are increasingly aware of the need to take care of our planet and our own bodies.

The consumer is more aware and respectful: There are many reasons to choose a natural and organic product. These include consumer awareness of animal welfare, respect for nature, and taking care of our own health.

It doesn’t take a genius to know the difference between healthy, nutrient-rich food and junk food, but what about cosmetics?

Ten years ago, most people knew nothing about parabens (which have been linked to breast cancer), toluene (a toxic solvent), or oxybenzone (a chemical that can alter thyroid function). However, now, people are aware that all the synthetic and chemical additives found in most cosmetic products are not beneficial to the body. They can have long-lasting negative effects on our health.

These are some of the reasons that make us bet on natural and organic cosmetics:

1. Environmentally friendly: Natural cosmetics is not only good and respectful to our body but,itis also respectful to the environment.
2. Full of Nutrients: Our skin is our body’s first line of defense. Not only does it protect us from cold, heat, wasps (which are the worst) or bacteria, it also protects us from toxic agents. That is why it is important to choose the right products for skin care and cleansing.
3. It has Anti-Aging Properties: It penetrates into the deep layers, eliminates free radicals, is an antioxidant, and protects your skin from premature aging by improving collagen and elastin production.
4. It is Cruelty Free: It takes into account the animal respect, it is not tested on animals, and in the case of Saper, being Vegan, we do not use any ingredient derived from animals.

Nowadays, it is not difficult to find organic or natural products. In supermarkets, there is a wide variety of organic food. It is also becoming increasingly common to find clothing created with natural fibers.

And in cosmetics it is easy to put “natural” on any product. Technically, there is no definition for natural cosmetic products. Any manufacturer can label its cosmetics as “natural”. This makes the search for quality and authentic natural cosmetic brands more complicated than it may seem at first glance.

How can we know which products are natural and which are not, which cosmetic brands are truly natural, and which are organic?Which cosmetic brands are truly natural, and which are organic?

1. Visit the brand’s website:
   
   If we want to know the composition of the cosmetics of a particular brand, all we have to do is go to their website and do a little research, take a look at the home page, see if they have an official Natural certification. The % of organic ingredients, in addition to increasing quality, is important for improving the environmental sustainability of the planet.

   If it is not well advertised on their website, you cannot see an official seal, and each product does not list all the ingredients (INCI list), you doubt that they are natural products.

   Since its inception, Såper has been committed to the protection of the environment, health and respect for biodiversity.

2. Learn about the ingredients in natural cosmetics brands.
   
   Sometimes, it is quite difficult to read and understand the ingredients of a cosmetic product if you don’t have a degree in biology or science, but don’t worry, it is not necessary to know by heart the nomenclature of the ingredients. of these products, or carry a specialized book on the subject to contrast its meaning. But we should know the most important ones and pay attention to the rest.

   This way, after a period of time, it will be easier to understand the ingredients: what should and should not be in your cosmetic products.

   As a curiosity, the ingredients are listed in order of highest to lowest quantity on the label, so the first ones on the list will be the most abundant in the product.

3. The price

   The expression “you can’t ask more for this price” means that more expensive products are usually of better quality.

   If you find a natural and organic cream for 5 euros, it will certainly be a low-quality product. Although it may seem like you’ve found the deal of the century, don’t be fooled.

   Natural and organic cosmetics will cost a little more expensive, as organic ingredients are more expensive than refined ones, but the product will be of a higher quality, as it will have the active ingredients your skin needs, vitamins, antioxidants, etc.

   Nobody gives anything away. But beware, sometimes a high price is not synonymous with quality either.

4. The amount of organic ingredients

   Sometimes, brands believe that the label “natural” or “organic” is enough to attract the consumer (greenwashing is not enough).

   Consumers should know what is the real percentage of these organic ingredients in the cosmetics they want to buy. Next time, in addition to checking that they have the natural cosmetics certificate such as Ecocert, BioVidaSana-Bio-Inspecta, Soil Association, ICEA, BDIH etc. Take a look at the amount of organic ingredients in the product.

   You have 2 ways to know this organic percentage that will guarantee the purity of the ingredients:

   • Look at the percentage (% of organic ingredients) if the natural cosmetic brand details it. Over 80-90% will be environmentally friendly cosmetics.
     In case it does not appear:
   • Check the asterisks *identifying each organic ingredient. The more asterisks in the first ingredients of the list, the higher the percentage.

As we have already mentioned, all of our cosmetics are 100% natural and contain between 90% and 100% organic ingredients.

You must be careful, because many companies hang the sign of organic cosmetics, Bio or ecological, being the percentage of organic ingredients very low or nonexistent. Therefore, it is necessary to:

• Always look for the certification seal and the % of organic ingredients. If the % does not appear, you should look for the asterisks behind each ingredient to check which ones are from organic farming.
