Understanding Natural and Organic Skincare Ingredients
"Natural" ingredients are derived from nature—plants, minerals, or animal by-products—while "organic" ingredients are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. However, these terms aren't strictly regulated in the beauty industry. At Be Delighted, we partner with brands that prioritize transparency, ensuring their products are both effective and safe.
