Is It Really Possible That Your Anti Aging Products Are Damaging Your Health?
Did you know that Ralph Nader has said that "Over the last 100 years, the rate of cancer in the U.S. has sky-rocketed from 1 out of 800 people diagnosed, to 1 out of 3 today." Do you have any idea why? Of cause there is no definitive answer however there is a reasonable chance that one of the causes may be dangerous ingredients in personal and beauty care products such as skin care and anti aging products and cosmetics and more.
Doubtless many of the ingredients found in so many products that most of us use every day are dangerous. And it's not just anti aging skin care products, it's even true of so many foods.
Here's a quick example of an ingredient that you may find in many personal products that you would be well advised to avoid. Mineral oil.
Mineral oil is a petrochemical product which means that it comes from distilling crude oil. If you buy baby oil you're getting a bottle of mineral oil.
Look on the label of many skin care products and anti aging products and you'll see mineral oil listed, often under a range of different names. It's there because it's supposed to be a moisturizer, however mineral oil doesn't moisturize. What it does is to form a layer of oil over the skin to prevent moisture loss. This works.
You may be familiar with Material Safety Data Sheets. A Material Safety Data Sheet is a document that lists everything that a user of a particular chemical ought to know about that chemical, for example for safety reasons. A Material Safety Data Sheet on mineral oil says that "mineral oils are suspected carcinogens of the skin and scrotum, larynx, lung and alimentary tracts". On top of this it also says it "may cause eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation" and also that "pre-existing skin disorders may be aggravated by exposure".
So mineral oil cause cancer and skin conditions.
Mineral oil isn't all. There's many other ingredients that you may see listed on the label of anti aging products that may well be dangerous. Why is this so and why aren't we protected from this?
The FDA isn't required to protect us. It's not their job to test how well anti aging products work or how safe they are for us to use. And of course big companies are known for their concern about the well-being of their customers. A fine example is the cigarette companies. If the company is allowed to use these ingredients then it will.
These ingredients are commonly used because they're cheap. Cheaper ingredients means more profit. There's excellent ingredients that they could use which are well known to promote better skin health but they're more expensive.
However some clever people have seen an opportunity here and have started small skin care and anti aging companies that produce excellent quality products, however because they put their money into product quality they cannot afford to advertise and compete on price. So you'll most likely never hear about them.
My website is intended to inform about the risks of modern big brand anti aging and skin care products and point you in the direction of these small companies that you've probably never heard of.
