🌿 10 Fascinating Facts About Cosmetics You Probably Didn’t Know

1. Cleopatra Used Ancient DIY Skincare
One of the earliest recorded cosmetic users, Cleopatra reportedly used natural ingredients like honey, milk, and olive oil to maintain her skin’s glow—long before the word “skincare” existed.

2. Lipstick Was Once Made with Crushed Bugs
Historically, red lipstick got its rich color from carmine, a pigment derived from crushed cochineal insects. Today, many natural brands use beetroot or other plant-based alternatives.

3. The Skin Absorbs Up to 60% of What You Apply
Yes, your skin is your body’s largest organ—and it drinks up a lot of what you put on it. That’s why clean, natural, and toxin-free ingredients matter.

4. Expiration Dates Aren’t Just for Food
Cosmetics have a shelf life too! Using expired products can lead to skin irritation or breakouts. Keep an eye on that tiny open jar symbol—it's there for a reason.

5. Sunscreen Is the #1 Anti-Aging Product
More than fancy creams or serums, daily sunscreen protects your skin from premature aging caused by UV rays. It's a non-negotiable step in any effective skincare routine.

6. Your Skin Changes Every 28–40 Days
Our skin naturally renews itself about once a month, which means consistency is key when it comes to skincare products. Don’t expect miracles overnight!

7. Eco-Friendly Packaging Is the Future of Beauty
More brands, including Well Natural, are shifting toward biodegradable, refillable, and recyclable packaging to reduce waste and protect the planet.

8. You Can "Feed" Your Skin
Many ingredients in natural skincare—like avocado oil, chamomile, and green tea—are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. It’s like a healthy diet for your face.

9. Less Is Often More
A minimalist skincare routine can be more effective than a 10-step one, especially if you choose high-quality, multi-functional products.

10. The Clean Beauty Movement Is Booming
Consumers are demanding transparency, ethical sourcing, and safe ingredients. And we’re here for it. At Well Natural, we believe that beauty should never come at the cost of your health—or the environment.
