Moisturizer is one of the 3 basic skincare products in a skincare routine, used right after toners (with cleansers before them). It is the last step as its job is to lock in all the goodness from the skincare products before as well as moisturising the skin and acting as a form of protection.
The difference between a normal moisturizer and an organic moisturizer is the ingredients. Normal moisturizers contain a lot more chemicals while organic moisturizers contain ingredients that are grown without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and genetic modification. The term “organic” is often loosely used in products as they can range from just 1 ingredient to 100% of the ingredient list.
