Overview
Nature's Gate is an organic skincare line whose philosophy is to provide all-natural skin care products to the everyday consumer. They derive most of their products from herbal and botanical research, and clearly this approach is working -- Nature's Gate is still popular after 30 years, making it one of the top organic skin care lines in the country. The manufacturers promise that each product is completely safe and is made with quality, organic ingredients proven to make skin radiant, flawless, and free of wrinkles.
Due to its popularity, Nature's Gate can be found nearly everywhere, including retail stores and through their official website. Their products range from facial creams to rejuvenating washes, each packed with amino acids and herbs. This line is very enticing to everyday consumers, and the affordability of their products is another huge plus -- a typical cream will only cost you between $9.00 to $15.00. Some question if this is just all hype, especially considering the lack of testimonials found about their products. Still, all-natural formulations are a plus for skin and consumers, and it may certainly offer some skin-healthy benefits.
Product Details
Browsing their official website, there is an obvious commonality in their skin care products -- the use of amino acids. They claim the use of amino acids reduces wrinkles on the face, along with protecting skin from further damage. Is this true? According to several sources, it is. Some amino acids, especially protein-building amino acids, are essential for promoting healthy skin, and an abundance of it helps de-age your skin, reducing wrinkles and patchy, dry skin. Supplying your body with these important building blocks will not only improve your health, it will improve your appearance as well! All is not perfect, however -- there are no studies concluding that amino acids will have this same effect when applied topically. If Nature's Gate provided more testimonials on their website, it would help benefit consumers wary of their products.
Otherwise, the natural ingredients appear safe for topical use. The only concern with natural products are allergies, so check the label before purchase. Grape seed oil is an irritant also, but it does not appear that Nature's Gate uses this ingredient in any of their products.
The Good
- Nature’s Gate contains all-natural ingredients.
- Very inexpensive.
- Available nearly everywhere, making this easy to purchase -- and their generous money-back guarantee is quite helpful as well.
The Bad
- Seems too focused on using amino acid complexes exclusively.
- No studies that we could find have been conducted on amino acids' effectiveness when applied topically on the skin.
- It is better to eat foods rich in amino acids to gain their anti-wrinkle benefit.
- A lack of testimonials to reference might make consumers wary of purchasing their product.
The Bottom Line
Combined with its affordability, Nature's Gate really caters to the everyday consumer. Although consumers should check with a doctor before beginning a skincare regimen, this product line could be beneficial – just be wary of allergen concerns.
