Naturopathica Review

 Updated On:

Overview

Naturopathica is the name of a holistic, all-natural skin care line founded in 1995 by Barbara Close. Barbara Close founded Naturopathica as her response to ineffective, non-herbal skin creams, formulating her own natural brand developed from 20 years of research as a herbalist and massage therapist. Today Naturopathica is extremely popular, and according to several experts, extremely effective.

What's unique about Naturopathica? Its dedication to all-natural formulas and to using environmentally-friendly ingredients. Not only are Naturopathica products all-natural, but also the packaging is safe for the environment. Very few companies are willing to make their products environmentally-friendly, and Naturopathica is a favorite among environmentalists. Its herbal-based formulas are a favorite also, and many people claim Naturopathica makes their skin feel luxurious and pampered. Naturopathica is sold nearly everywhere, including online, and the only drawback here is their price -- most creams cost well over $50.00 per bottle. Nevertheless, some people are not convinced that herbal formulas are really a cure-all for all skin types, and they might be right – certain herbs found in Naturopathica may be irritating for some skin types.

Product Details

Although it is impossible to list all ingredient information in all products, Naturopathica usually features herbs and vitamins in its ingredients, including rose water, fragrant oils, and plant extracts. As wonderful as it sounds, these ingredients could aggravate certain conditions such as Rosacea. Rose water is known to aggravate Rosacea and is not ideal for those afflicted. Plant oils can also aggravate people with sensitive skin, and unfortunately there are no alternatives offered by Naturopathica.

Furthermore, closer inspection reveals most of these ingredients are only included to add to the feel and fragrance of these products. It would be helpful if Naturopathica added more herbal ingredients that specifically target the skin instead of adding fragrance. There are some herbal ingredients that will help moisturize the skin and help lessen patchy, rough skin, but these are the only benefits -- and considering the price, it might not benefit everyone. People seeking a complete approach to anti-aging skin care are advised to look elsewhere, as Naturopathica only offers some simple skin health benefits, and little to fight wrinkle.

The Good

  • Naturopathica products are all 100% all-natural.
  • Created based on herbal science.

The Bad

  • As an ingredient, Rosewater is known to aggravate Rosacea.
  • Plant ingredients are not ideal for many people with sensitive skin.
  • Only targets a few key factors of healthy skin, such as moisturization.

The Bottom Line

Unfortunately only a few ingredients offer immediate benefits for your skin, and consumers searching for a complete anti-wrinkle cream will have trouble finding it here. If you desire softer, smoother skin, Naturopathica may contain ideal ingredients, especially if you find the idea of an all-natural formula appealing. But for others who need intensive treatment, Naturopathica probably won't meet your anti-wrinkle needs.
