What you should look for (and what should not have) The best moisturizer

Does your moisturizer to be dangerous? What a silly question. Moisturizers are designed to benefit our skin are not. How could a moisturizer possibly be dangerous?

There are many ingredients chemicals and petrochemicals found in moisturizers as well as a wide range of other personal hygiene products such as cosmetics, bath and beauty products. Examples include mineral oil, a petrochemical derivative extremely common and sodium lauryl sulfate.

Many of these ingredients are produced in laboratories and are used in personal care products and products of skincare, as moisturizers, as they are particularly cheap. Mineral oil, for example, is cheaper to buy be eliminated.

There is an organization called the Environmental Working Group, which maintains a database of ingredients used in such products. This is called Cosmetics Safety Database and provides information on the wide variety of chemical ingredients used in many of our personal products, including moisturizers.

If the pursuit of sodium lauryl sulfate in the database Cosmetic Safety see that it is linked to cancer, toxicity body system, developmental toxicity and reproductive, neurotoxicity skin irritation and more. You will see a similar concern whether the search mineral oil.

Studies have shown that many of these ingredients are commonly found in skincare and anti aging products, such as moisturizers can have adverse health risks. For example, a study recently published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology called "tumorigenic effect of some commonly used moisturizers when applied topically to UVB-pretreated high risk mice "demonstrated that a number of moisturizers that contain mineral oil and sodium lauryl sulfate, when applied 5 days a week for 17 weeks, "significantly increased the rate of tumor formation and the rate of increase tumor size per mouse. "

Interestingly, after the results of the study were established, (which were a surprise because the study was to see if caffeine causes skin cancer in mice), the researchers asked the manufacturer to manufacture a proven moisturizer moisturizer, without oil sodium lauryl sulfate mineral in it. This was also tested and the results showed no effect on tumor formation or growth in mice.

If you view the search results for Safe Cosmetics database to search for any of these chemicals, (or any of a wide range of ingredients chemicals found in the fight against modern products of aging such as moisturizers), you see all the studies are based on the results quoted are there for you reference.

Although he never could have happened to you is a wide range of health risks you may be exposed because of the use chemicals and petrochemicals in the ingredients moisturizing and anti-modern other products for aging skin, it is clear that there are risks to health.

Does this mean you should swear off moisturizer? Should avoid all anti-aging skin care altogether or you can find moisturisers and other anti-aging products that do not expose the health risks you are exposed to through the use of many of the products manufactured by the big brands? Not at all.

There are small niche companies that recognize the problem with the mainstream anti-aging chemical laden skin products and see this as an opportunity to manufacture skin care products safe and effective, containing none of the chemical ingredients commonly found in leading Skin care and moisturizers.

Of course it is extremely difficult for the company from a small niche skin care to compete with large multinational companies in the market for skin care, where billions of dollars are at stake. However, these companies, one in particular, manufacturing high-quality line of skin care that are extremely effective and are made known only safe, natural ingredients such as fruit oils and nuts. Reputable companies do not use these ingredients because they are more expensive than chemical alternatives.

If you take the time to find some of the products made by these companies against the small niche of aging, and test the products, you will be pleasantly surprised by the result. You will not be risking their health because these products are made with natural ingredients that are known to be safe for skin and body and are also very effective for hydration. However can be hard to find these products as natural moisturizers because small businesses that make them unable to compete with the marketing budget of major actors and not advertised on television.

So the bad news is that if you use moisturizers modern popularity it is likely that they are loaded with chemical additives that, although very cheap for the manufacturer to use, may be putting your health at risk. The good news is that there are natural products skin care available that are very effective in producing better health of the skin and do not use the chemical ingredients.

On my website I write about these issues and offer my readers to find a more secure, more effective and natural anti-aging products that provide the desired results without the risks.
