Ok, so we all know that we want to stay away from chemicals and keep things natural. What people might not know, is what specific natural ingredients to look for when it comes to skin care. Things sometimes get a little tricky, and we at Turo think this list might help. Here is Turo's top 5 best natural ingredients that will positively impact your skin. 

Blue Green Algae 

Blue Green Algae is a natural retinoid alternative that helps smooth skin, increasing its density, and reducing wrinkles. Containing high levels of Vitamin B and Amino Acids blue green algae will also help to restructure the skins surface. It's a great sign if you see this on the ingredient list. 

Sea Mayweed 

Sea Mayweed is another great ingredient to look for in your skincare products. This type of chamomile has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that protects and soothes the skin. This will help prevent cell damage for an improved complexion. 

Oat Extract 

Oat extract is a natural ingredient clinically proven to protect against UV damage. It also improves extrinsic signs of aging, promotes healing, increases skin moisture, firmness, elasticity, and smoothness. It will even stimulate immune defense and promote fibroblast growth and collagen synthesis. Basically, oat extract is amazing and is really great for the skin. Definitely something to look for when shopping for skincare products. 

Licorice Root Extract 

Licorice Root extract might not be something you're to familiar with but it is great for the skin. Licorice root works as an anti-inflammatory and soothing agent to treat skin irritation. It is one of those helpful ingredients that goes a long way in skincare products. 

Shea Butter 

Shea butter is a natural moisturizer and emollient. It is powerful in small doses and is great for the skin. Mostly being produced from trees in West Africa shea butter is a luxurious and helpful ingredient in skincare products.
