Natural Skin Care

Ageing bedevils us all and so many people, as they age, want to find a solution to looking older and feeling older. For this reason there is a massive market in anti aging products. Aging people, however, are usually unaware that many anti aging skin care products on the market today contain ingredients which may be damaging to their health. Fragrances are a good example.

Estimates are that there are some around 4000 different fragrances used in so many of the personal products that we use today including anti aging skin products. After all everyone wants to smell nice and it’s well known that adding a fragrance to a personal product helps it sell. So what’s the problem with smelling nice when you’re applying the latest anti aging skin care product?

The problem is simple. The vast majority of fragrances are simply nice smelling chemicals produced in laboratories. Whilst there’s nothing immediately wrong with producing a chemical the studies are showing that many of these, when applied on our skin, can have serious health implications. If you started to read some of the studies about the risks of fragrances you’d be very surprised.

Not every fragrance has health implications, there are some very good fragrances made from essential oils that do not, however these are usually too expensive and the anti aging companies always opt for the cheap alternative.

If you search the Cosmetic Safety Database you’ll see that fragrances are linked to cancer, immunotoxicity and neurotoxicity, allergies, disruption of the endocrine system, irritation to the eyes and skin and lungs and more.

When you apply that latest moisturizer that smells so nice to your skin you are covering a reasonably large area of your skin with the chemical fragrance. Your skin absorbs the fragrance and it gets into your system just as if you ate it.

It’s just the same with perfumes but when you use a perfume you use it only on a very small area of skin.

All this may be a shock for you. It’s a sad fact that so many personal, beauty and anti aging skin care products that so many of us use every single day contain chemical ingredients that may well be dangerous to your health and which you are not warned about.It’s not just fragrances, there’s many more examples.

There is an opportunity here and some small niche companies have taken advantage of it. One now uses no fragrances at all for this exact reason and commits to making products that are safe enough to eat.

Billions of dollars are spent on anti aging skin care products every year, but the buyer must beware. There are serious risks to so many ingredients in these products and the companies that make them won’t warn you about the risks.

I write a website to educate about the risks of ingredients in modern personal products including anti aging skin care products and attempt to point people towards safe and effective alternative products.
