The earth is made up of ecosystems, complex and multi-faceted, and the world is underpinned by them; the food chain, sea systems, grass systems. How does the human society fit into that, and how does our culture relate to or conflict it; how does it come into dialogue with it? Can advanced human society remain part of the ecosystem and the chain, or is it destined simply to draw from it?

When it comes to the meditations that the human can no longer fit within the ecosystem, one must look hardest at material culture and material culture comes down to a number of factors and genres, but one large one is hygiene culture; skin care, for example.

Hygiene culture and skin care products have, since the advent of mass production and material culture, hygiene has been dominated by artificial ingredients and chemical components, removing production from the natural cycle, making human society a reaper but not a contributor.

The answer to that problem, of course, was the introduction of natural and organic skin care, which takes ingredients from the ecosystem - replenishable goods - and uses them for their good of the human society. So the ecosystem benefits and society benefits to; rather than taking from those replenishable goods and creating harmful substances from them in synthesis, they take  natural and organic products and leave them as they are, meaning that the ecosystem is intact, and that humans decidedly benefit.

Is there a difference in the effects? The answer is that natural and organic products are equal if not better than artificial products when it comes to the rejuvenating and invigorating effects of skin care, but they certainly do have the added benefit of the moral issue.

So really, there’s no excuse to negate the natural and organic skin care movement, and more and more people are moving steadily toward that camp.

The movement, then, is on the rise, and the importance of natural and organic skin care cannot be undermined; its benefit to the natural world and the human world - and indeed its importance in bringing those two worlds under one sphere - is that it provides growth and kinship in both sectors.

Scin Boutique are one of the primary exponents of the natural and organic skin care philosophy. Their website is a prime example of the importance of natural and organic skin care, and they outline it themselves:

“At Scin we like to keep things simple. Natural and organic skincare ranges for men and women where you won’t find any gimmicks but you will find products that really work. The natural and organic skincare ranges at scinboutique.com have been chosen for their ingredients and for the results they have on the skin from experience gained at our Massage and Spa in London.

The skin is the largest organ in the body and therefore a percentage of what you put on it is absorbed into your system. At Scin we know that clients are becoming increasingly aware of the ingredients in skincare products and that is why scinboutique.com chooses natural and organic skincare ranges that try to minimise the amount of parabens, lanolin, mineral oils and other nasties. ”

As one case in point, then, Scin Boutique shows just how fundamentally important natural and organic ingredients can be.
