And Why It Matters More Than Ever

Why Natural Skincare Is Becoming So Popular. In recent years, natural skincare has moved from a quiet niche to a powerful movement. More and more people are turning away from synthetic ingredients and choosing products made with plant oils, herbs, and time-honored botanical remedies.

But why?

Because people are waking up.

They’re reading labels.They’re questioning harsh chemicals.They’re realizing that what we put on our bodies matters just as much as what we put in them.

And honestly? That shift makes my skin very happy.

1. Simpler Ingredients = Happier Skin

Many conventional skincare products contain long ingredient lists filled with preservatives, fillers, artificial fragrances, and petroleum-based compounds. While these ingredients may extend shelf life or enhance texture, they don’t always support long-term skin health.

Natural skincare focuses on:

·       Cold-pressed carrier oils

·       Herbal infusions

·       Essential oils (properly diluted)

·       Botanical extracts

·       Beeswax, butters, and plant-based ingredients

When your skin recognizes what you're giving it, it responds beautifully.

2. Botanical Ingredients Have a Long History

Plants have been used for centuries in skincare. Calendula, aloe, lavender, frankincense — these aren’t trends. They’re traditions.

At Crafty Kim’s Corner & Make Scents Aromatherapy, I focus on small-batch, thoughtfully crafted skincare rooted in those traditions.

Here are a few favorites:

Aloe Vera Face Cream

Aloe Vera Face Cream

A lightweight, deeply hydrating moisturizer that supports soft, supple skin.

Benefits:

·       Hydrates without feeling greasy

·       Soothes dry or irritated skin

·       Great for daily use

·       Suitable for most skin types

Aloe has long been treasured for its calming and cooling properties. This cream is especially loved by customers who want moisture without heaviness.

Calendula Soothing Balm

Calendula Soothing Salve

Made with calendula-infused oils and nourishing beeswax, this balm is gentle yet effective.

Benefits:

·       Helps comfort dry or stressed skin

·       Ideal for hands, elbows, and rough patches

·       A family-friendly staple

Calendula has traditionally been prized for its skin-supporting properties, making it a wonderful botanical to keep on hand.

Frankincense & Botanical Facial Oils

All-Natural Facial Oil

Facial oils are becoming incredibly popular — and for good reason.

Benefits:

·       Support skin elasticity

·       Help balance moisture

·       Leave skin glowing and nourished

Using oils like jojoba, argan, and sunflower helps mimic the skin’s natural sebum, making them suitable for many skin types — even combination skin.

Hydrosols & Botanical Mists

Organic Rose Hydrosol

Gentle plant distillations like rose, lavender, or chamomile hydrosols are a beautiful addition to a natural skincare routine.

Benefits:

·       Light hydration throughout the day

·       Skin-refreshing mist

·       A calming sensory experience

They’re simple, pure, and refreshing.

3. People Want Transparency

Why Natural Skincare Is Becoming So Popular. One of the biggest reasons natural skincare is growing in popularity is transparency. People want to know:

·       Where ingredients come from

·       How products are made

·       Who is making them

That’s one of the blessings of small businesses. When you shop handmade, you know the heart behind the jar.

Every cream, balm, oil, and botanical blend I create is made in small batches, carefully measured, and personally tested by family and friends before ever reaching your doorstep.

4. Skincare Is Self-Care

Natural skincare isn’t just about ingredients — it’s about slowing down.

It’s about:

·       Taking a moment to massage oil into your skin

·       Mist your face with rose hydrosol

·       Light a calming candle

·       Breathe in lavender before bed

Skincare becomes a ritual instead of a routine.

And in today’s busy world, that matters.

The Beauty of Going Back to Nature

Natural skincare is popular because it feels honest. It feels grounded. It feels safe.

And in a world filled with artificial everything, people are craving something real.
