We live in a time when ethical choices are no longer just an optional extra, but an urgent necessity. Climate change challenges us to make conscious choices, and this is surely true in the world of beauty.

If you want a lifestyle in which the well-being of your body and hair can embrace the health of the planet and the community, then our Ethical products is the answer you are looking for, so you can embrace your well-being and that of the planet we live on.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRODUCTS

For an increasingly attentive and aware consumer, it is important to read product labels and inquire about ingredients and packaging quality. Especially when it comes to cosmetic products that come into direct contact with a person’s skin and hair. See below five characteristics of INSIGHT’s ethical products;

1.) International Certifications

Lines such as Sensitive and Lenitive have Cosmos Natural certification, while the Skin and Man lines boast ICEA Eco Bio certification. The Vegan OK certification of all products promotes the use of vegetable components, avoiding those of animal origin.

2.) Raw materials of natural origin

Thanks to constant effort to improve our formulas and production processes, and work on reducing our impact. INSIGHT’s formulas contain a high percentage of ingredients of vegetable origin. Up to 98% for the Sensitive and Lenitive lines certified Cosmos Natural, guaranteeing effectiveness and respect for the environment.

3.) Ozonated water without chemical residues

The innovative “ozonation” process used by INSIGHT makes mains water a suitable ingredient for cosmetic products. This eliminates viruses and bacteria without releasing chemical residues into the environment.

4.) Sustainable palm oil

INSIGHT’s participation in the RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) programme includes the use of Certified sustainable palm oil in its products because this helps avoid uncontrolled palm oil production, and as a result is endangering rainforests.

5.) CO2 Neutral Company

Real changes, starts with our daily actions. Which is why INSIGHT reduces its environmental impact with responsible, green practices. An example? All the energy used comes from renewable sources or photovoltaic panels.

For us, sustainability means many things. It is about the environment… 
Environmental sustainability is a permanent goal for INSIGHT. We have taken a path that leads us to do our best every day to reduce our impact on the environment, with this awareness to our production methods and our finished products.

We are a carbon neutral company, our products are Vegan OK Certified, our production chain undergoes numerous quality and safety checks, and our product formulas are all 100% made in Italy. The path towards sustainability is a journey, and we are on our way, at a good pace, trying to improve every day and ready to adopt the most eco-friendly solutions that technology can offer, time after time. We want to make things better together, one step at a time.

Want to know the perfect body routine for your daily care during the winter? Consistency really makes all the difference!

Good habits have been known to make a difference only when applied consistently. Yet, we often lose interest in a practice when we don’t see immediate results, and we abandon it after a few initial attempts. But as with all things, patience and consistency always pay off, especially when it comes to body care.

A regular body routine, using the right products will bring its results after a few weeks: the skin on the body will appear more toned, hydrated and firm, especially during the winter months, when dehydration and dryness are always around the corner.

The steps to follow are not many, and simpler than you may think. Let’s go through them together!

The ideal body routine starts with exfoliation

Whether it’s a scrub, a peel, mitt or brush, the goal is always the same: exfoliate. There are many ways to get rid of dead cells sitting on the surface of the epidermis, and make room for new ones, rediscovering brighter, firmer and more even skin.

Body Scrub. Probably the best known and most widely used option. It consists of a cream that contains suspended particles with mildly abrasive power, which are able to remove the surface layer of dead cells from the epidermis. These particles can consist of sugar, oat or almond powder, or cherry kernel and quartz powder, as in the INSIGHT Body Scrub, the perfect product for gentle but effective exfoliation.
Dry Brushing. This is a practice that involves brushing the body with a special brush with semi-hard bristles to promote microcirculation, oxygenate the tissues and at the same time perform a gentle “dry” exfoliation of the body. It is recommended to do this operation in the morning, perhaps before showering, on dry skin, so as to awaken circulation after the night hours.
Chemical exfoliation. Performs the same function as mechanical exfoliation, but instead of doing it by friction, it does so through the action of chemical molecules. The most commonly used exfoliants for this purpose are certain fruit acids, such as glycolic acid or lactic acid, which help speed up cell turnover. Another ingredient also increasingly used for body products is retinol. Within lotions or cleansers, it helps eliminate the topmost layer of the epidermis, improving and evening out the skin’s texture and complexion.

Step 2: An invigorating shower

After exfoliating, it’s time for a nice invigorating shower. Choose an effective but gentle cleanser, and prefer lukewarm showers to long, hot baths, which could weaken the skin barrier in the long run.

Looking for a shower cleanser with a gentle formula that will leave your skin cleansed and hydrated? INSIGHT has created a body cleanser formulated with non-ethoxylated surfactants. What this means is that its formula is more gentle and highly dermocompatible. It also contains plant-derived glycerin and skin-friendly ingredients to reduce any irritation caused by cleansing.

Next stop: Hydration station!

Moisturising your body’s skin after a shower is crucial to keeping it supple and healthy. Choose a moisturising cream or lotion, depending on your needs or preferences. If your body skin feels particularly dry and tight after showering, it means it needs a little extra nourishment. In this case, prefer creamy and nourishing consistencies, with a soothing and comforting action on the skin. If, on the other hand, your skin is normal, you can choose a lighter and fast-absorbing lotion, even with a liquid texture.

Extra pampering for dry areas

The skin of elbows, knees, feet, needs more nourishment than the rest of the body. They are notoriously drier areas and subjected to more friction, so it’s a good habit to dedicate an extra care to them. To do this we can choose a nourishing body butter, or an oil with nourishing and protective properties. These few steps, repeated consistently, will help to keep the skin toned and compact.
