There is a general assumption among consumers that “natural” products are better or healthier than similar ones using synthetic ingredients. Often, however, these “natural” ingredients are no different in chemical composition than their synthetic counterparts. In fact, a synthetic substance which mimics a natural one can sometimes provide a purer, more stable ingredient which gives the product a longer usable life.

Health Canada considers both natural and synthetic ingredients to be equally suitable for use in cosmetics.
