At Alma Eko, we believe that taking care of yourself should be a pleasure for you and the planet. When you choose non-toxic products, you're offering your skin, your health, and the environment many benefits:

• Healthier, happier skin : Products free of parabens, silicones, harsh synthetic fragrances, and toxic preservatives help reduce irritation, allergies, and hormonal imbalances.
  
• Respect for your body : By avoiding harsh chemicals, you allow your skin to breathe, your pores to remain unclogged, and the natural ingredients to work their magic without interference.
  
• You're acting with environmental responsibility : less chemical waste, less water pollution, biodegradable products, more sustainable packaging. It's a way to align your care with conscious consumption.
  
• Visible results without compromising on quality : more radiance, hydration, softness... and best of all, without sacrificing organic and effective cosmetics.

The big difference is in how they are formulated and the impact they generate .

While many conventional products contain endocrine disruptors and harsh chemicals like silicones, sulfates, parabens, and petroleum derivatives, at Alma Eko we focus on natural and eco-friendly products that safely care for you and your loved ones while also protecting the planet.

• Natural and safe ingredients → Instead of synthetic additives, we select products with, for example, vegetable oils, butters, plant extracts, and minerals that nourish and respect your body.
  
• Better tolerance on sensitive skin → as it does not contain artificial fragrances or harsh preservatives, irritations and allergies are reduced.
  
• Real long-term benefits → Conventional products sometimes "mask" the problem, while natural cosmetics help regenerate and balance your skin and hair over time. Our skin accumulates chemicals over the years, so the less toxic and more natural the better.
  
• Positive impact on the planet → Biodegradable formulas and sustainable packaging, compared to single-use plastic packaging and polluting compounds found in industrial cosmetics and household and everyday cleaning products.
  

In short: the difference is choosing between what works only "on the outside" and what truly takes care of you, inside and out, and the environment at the same time . 🌱✨

When you decide to switch to a natural skincare routine, your skin may need some time to adjust. During the first few days or weeks, it's common to experience a "detox" phase where your skin eliminates residue from previous products. This process may include mild breakouts or changes in texture, but it's a sign that your skin is returning to its natural balance.

Tips for a smooth transition:

• Introduce products gradually: Start with just one product and wait at least two weeks before adding another. This allows your skin to adjust without feeling overwhelmed.
  
• Be patient and consistent: Visible results usually appear between 2 and 4 weeks, as the skin renews itself approximately every 28 days.
  
• Listen to your skin: If you experience irritation or dryness, you may need to adjust your frequency of use or combine products with proper moisturizer.
  

Remember, with a little patience and consistency, your skin will get used to natural skin, and you'll enjoy its long-term benefits. 🌿✨
