Foreue – Natural Skin Care (Handmade & Vegan)

I just opened the container of the Foreue product, Jasmine Butter Creme, and while reading the ingredients on the Foreue website, I enjoyed the pleasant aroma.  I put a drop of the Jasmine Butter Creme on my foot and I like the way it feels on my skin.  It’s pleasant and soft and moisturizing, like the Hydrate product.  It’s nice and moist; not oily.

After finishing my shower, I wanted to try the Foreue Hydrate product.  I’m highly sensitive to scents, even natural scents, so I was very cautious at first.  I’m asthmatic and chemically sensitive so I am always very careful with what I expose my nose and lungs to. I opened the container of foreue Hydrate and I reviewed the list of ingredients on the foreue website.  I was pleasantly surprised to see and smell all the lovely pleasant plant essences that the product contains.

As I have said before, many products that claim to be natural, like natural skin lotion, are really not. Sure they may contain emollients, emulsifiers, and humectants, which can be derived from natural sources, but sometimes they are chemically made(read: not from natural sources).  How do you know the difference? Do your research and read the labels. Here is some information to help you.

Emollients are often found in lotion in skin care products, like natural skin lotion. The difference is that natural emollients are biodegradable and synthetic emollients are not. Natural emollients are found in plant oils (such as avocado or rosehip oils), shea butter, or cocoa butter.
