Pimples

Pimples represent a single type of inflamed skin blemish, while acne describes a broader chronic skin condition involving multiple blemishes over time.

Conventional Pimple Treatments 

Conventional products for pimples work by drying your skin out to shrink the bump. This leads to peeling and a longer healing time. Instead, the products listed here are made with natural ingredients, they heal by nourishing and purifying the skin.

  • ​❌ Salicylic acid: common pimple fighter that causes irritation
  • ​❌ Benzoyl peroxide: common pimple fighter that causes irritation
  • ​❌ Tretinoin: common pimple fighter that causes irritation

Greenwashing Pimple Treatments

Avid greenwashing pimple treatments that pretend to be natural, safer, and organic when they are not

They may contain natural ingredients mixed with controversial or harsh ingredients such as:

  • ​❌ Salicylic acid: common pimple fighter that causes irritation
  • ❌ Sodium Benzoate: irritant preservative

Organic Pimple Treatments 

Here you will find the safest and most natural spot treatments, blemish products, and natural pimple and patches designed for surfaced pimple and whiteheads,  for “hot spots” like your chin, nose, and cheek where pimple clusters break out. 

 

  • 🌿 Lavender: is great for both oily and dry skin. It is able to balance the oil production of the skin. Lavender regulates the production and over-excretion of sebum (oily/waxy substance that the body produces to moisturize the skin). Over-production and excretion of sebum causes oily skin and clogged pores which can lead to acne and other skin issues. Lavender can reduce pimples, especially on the back, forehead, and chin where Sebaceous glands are more prevalent. Lavender also promotes skin healing and rejuvenation and can reduce scarring.

  • 🌿Rosemary: has anti-microbial and antiseptic properties. It is beneficial in skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, oily skin, and acne. Consistent use can tone the skin and give it a healthy, even glow.
