Mainstream moisturizers, in common with so many other skin care and anti aging products, contain a wide range of chemical and petrochemical ingredients in many cases. A good example of this is mineral oil.
Mineral oil comes from crude oil and is a petrochemical product which is found in hundreds if not thousands of moisturizers. If you search the cosmetic safety database you’ll find that mineral oil is linked to allergies and immunotoxicity, cancer, skin irritation and bioaccumulation and more. The one reason mineral oil is used in so many anti aging products is because it is extremely cheap.
Mineral oil doesn’t moisturize your skin. Rather it coats your skin with a film of oil that prevents moisture loss. However in doing this it exposes the user to all the health risks I have mentioned, and it also clogs pores of your skin increasing the incidence of acne.
There are many naturally occurring ingredients which are excellent natural moisturizers. Olive oil, macadamia nut oil and shea butter are all natural moisturizers but they are rarely found in mainstream anti aging skin care products because they are far more expensive than chemical ingredients such as mineral oil.
However these health problems from the use of modern anti aging products are becoming more well understood and there is a fast growing movement away from mainstream anti aging skin products towards natural skin care products, including natural moisturizers, which utilise safe and effective natural ingredients.
Some consumers choose to source these natural moisturizers in their raw state and use them as they are. Whilst some can be found in their raw state others cannot and it can be difficult and messy to make up your own body moisturizer or facial moisturizer like this.
However there are dedicated companies which recognize the problem with chemical ingredients in skin care products and which seek to take advantage of this by producing natural skin care products, including natural moisturizers, which utilise these ingredients to produce high-quality safe anti aging products.
The obvious conclusion is that if ingredients like this are very expensive the products must also be very expensive but that is rarely the case. This is because many of these companies, and one in particular, chooses to direct the majority of their budget towards product quality rather than television advertising, and as television advertising makes up the vast bulk of the product price by avoiding this cost the company can market it’s products at a competitive price, and include a money back guarantee.
As you can see there are powerful reasons for the movement away from mainstream anti aging skin care products and towards safer more natural alternatives such as natural moisturizers and other products which are more effective than the well-known brands and which are safe to use.
However because the companies that make these products are small niche companies, and because they do not advertise, it is quite common that consumers are unaware that these products exist. However when they do discover these ranges of natural skin care products, and when they try the products and discover their effectiveness, they are routinely surprised and usually become a customer for life.
So if you’re beginning to understand the problems with modern chemical anti aging products and you’re looking for a good natural moisturizer that is both safe and high quality then visit my website to find out where these products may be sourced.
