Why Natural Skincare Feels Different to Conventional Skincare

Sometimes at Nakin we see reviews from customers describing how Nakin’s products do not feel the same as their usual face products. This is quite rare, and it usually happens when a customer has been using skincare that is filled with synthetic ingredients, such as PEGs and silicones. Our products will feel different on the skin to synthetic face creams, as these usually have many ingredients that are on our banned list, including PEGs and silicones. These ingredients feel lovely on the face, but we believe they have no real benefits to skin, instead Nakin’s range is packed with natural plant actives and extracts that all have rejuvenating benefits. We believe that our range the best skincare products and we are passionate about natural skincare, as we feel that it provides skin with so many benefits when compared to using synthetic face products.

At Nakin our cleansers, treatments and creams are formulated to be amazing for our face and neck, treating them with amazing beneficial natural ingredients. They sink into our skin and work their magic healing, improving and enhancing. Synthetic moisturising ingredients such as Polyacrylate-13, Dimethicone, Polyisobutene and Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer are all on our banned list. These types of ingredients form a film on our skin, but we believe they have no beauty benefits and are alien to our natural skin function. Instead, we use as much natural skin boosting ingredients as possible, which have excellent biocompatibility with our skin and seep into the cells for better rejuvenation.

Why Natural Skincare Feels Different to Conventional Skincare

At Nakin we use very high-quality natural ingredients in our products and are pleased to say that they have mostly five-star reviews, plus have won many awards. Most of our customers are really happy with our products, but of course we understand that everyone has such unique skin and preferences. There are so many face products out there and most of them are incredibly unique, and so switching to a new product can take a while to get used to. Lots of us like things that are familiar to us, and so using some new face care can take a while to get used to.

One of the other common comments that we receive is that Nakin smells differently to a customer’s usual skincare. This again is due to Nakin’s natural formulations and means customers might also find that the smell of Nakin is different to a synthetic beauty brand. If you are used to using products that are heavily perfumed with synthetic fragrance, then switching to Nakin with our mild delicate natural scent might be new to you. The reason that we do not use synthetic fragrance in our natural skincare products is because it has lots of controversial safety issues. Our natural fragrance is also used mildly because even natural fragrance can be sensitising to skin. Fragrance in skincare products has no real beauty benefits, and so we prefer to fill our range with anti-ageing ingredients instead.

Why Natural Face Products Often Contain Lots of Synthetic Ingredients

Although natural face products are marketed for their use of plant-based and organic ingredients, many of them also include lots of synthetic components to make them feel better on our skin and give the impression of enhanced functionality, along with better stability, and shelf life. Natural ingredients on their own can degrade quickly, losing their effectiveness or even becoming harmful over time without proper preservation, so they still need to be preserved. However, strong synthetic preservatives, emulsifiers, and stabilisers are often added without need to prevent spoilage, ensure even texture, and prolong the product's usability. Additionally, some active compounds derived from nature may need to be replicated synthetically to ensure consistency across batches and to maintain ethical sourcing practices. Some synthetic ingredients are often an essential compromise in developing safe, effective, and reliable skincare products. However, not all synthetic ingredients are created equal, and some may have questionable safety profiles or environmental impacts. It is crucial to research and understand the ingredients in their natural skincare products to make informed choices about what they put on their skin.

We hope that our feature is helpful explaining how the feel and scent of Nakin might differ to some of the conventional skincare brands. This is something that we are proud of, as our products look and feel natural, as they are meant to. We believe that natural ingredients do so much more for skin than synthetic ones can. Our skin is a living organ and reacts to everything that is put on it, and we believe that natural products offer skin harmonious organic nourishment that cannot be replicated with synthetic ingredients.
