Are The Best Anti Aging Products Necessarily Safe?
November 20, 2009 2:54 am skin careIf you’re a woman starting to experience the signs and symptoms of skin ageing you may have spent quite some time searching for the best anti aging products on the market.
Those captivating television ads and glossy magazine ads just seem so convincing that those anti aging creams must be great.
But if you’ve reached that stage in your search for the best anti aging products then you’ve missed one question that’s most important to ask before deciding how good those products are. You need to ask yourself how safe they are for you to use.
The reason is that there is a massive range of chemical ingredients that are found in in almost all of the big name skin care products you might even be using right now. Oof those ingredients is named Propylene Glycol and it’s Propylene Glycol that I would like to tell you about today.
In fact you might have Propylene Glycol in your cars radiator right now. That’s because Propylene Glycol is the active ingredient in anti freeze. And the FDA also tells us that if you’re handling Propylene Glycol you need to wear protective gloves as well as protective goggles just in case you get some of it on your skin.
If you search at the Cosmetic Safety Database you will find that Propylene Glycol is listed as an ingredient in 1118 facial treatments, 945 anti aging moisturizers and 690 other anti aging products as well as a wide range of other personal products.
And the Cosmetic Safety Database links Propylene Glycol to cancer, developmental and reproductive toxicity, allergies and immunotoxicity, irritation to the skin and a whole host of other nasty health repercussions.
Whether it is advertised as the best skin care product on the market it should be avoided if it contains Propylene Glycol or a whole host of other suspect chemical ingredients that are found in so many of our personal products.
They are found in our products because the FDA is not required to satisfy itself about the safety of any ingredients used in these products, and so the manufacturers put them there because these ingredients are very cheap, and they can get away with it.
So, you’re a woman who is starting to notice all of those irritating signs of skin ageing such as skin wrinkles and sagging. Do you swear off all anti aging products and just except your fate, and your wrinkles? No you don’t.
There are small companies that compete in this massive market but which have a demonstrated ethical commitment to making high quality products using ingredients that are known to be safe (and highly effective at aging skin care).
One of these companies in particular makes extremely high quality products. They use natural ingredients all known to be safe and which are also known to have excellent skin care properties but these natural ingredients are very very expensive.
So it would be fair to assume that the anti aging products made by this company must also be very expensive, but in fact they’re not. That’s because this company chooses not to spend lots of money on television or magazine advertising and so does not need to factor advertising and marketing into the price of the products, and this is invariably the major cost of any line of skin care products. Therefore their anti aging products are in fact very price competitive.
The good news is that the best anti aging products are made by a company you’ve probably never heard of. But when you do you’ll be amazed at how good (and how safe) these products are.
