The skin is the system that protects our body from the harmful effects of the environment. We need to cherish it and be
more aware of our skin care routines - what products are safe and nourishing as well as those to be avoided.
What Do You Know And Don't Know
About Skin Care Products
The skin is the first barrier between inside and
outside world. Dust, dirt, environmental agents and skin care ingredients enter the body through this important protective organ providing
significant access to the blood stream. Usually, to protect yourself from all the potentially dangerous factors and to keep your good appearance,
you are using skin care products. Their purpose is to cleanse, nourish, regenerate and protect.
In today’s market the modern cosmetic industry is given us skin care products with splendid texture, appealing color, nice smell and … chemical
ingredients.
You know exactly which is the most active ingredient or ingredients from a skin care formulation: collagen, alpha hydroxyl
acids, vitamin C-ester, testosterone and so on. The advertising is based on the known effect of each primer ingredient onto the skin such as:
Collagen-anti wrinkles, alpha hydroxyl acid- peeling, et cetera.
What you don’t know is how all the other chemical ingredients from a skin care product, even in tiny amount, will affect your health in time.
Even a low dosage at repeated exposure will affect your body as much as a high dosage will affect at one time application.
You are not aware that the chemicals are not recognized by our body and therefore they can not
be used in our metabolic pathway to be destroyed and eliminate. They are stored in fat tissues, in the blood arteries and veins, and ultimately
in organs. On the other hand they can induce alterations at the cellular level. Some of the chemical ingredients have been already proven to
induce cancer and birth defects.
A cosmetic company, developing natural skin care products (And I am not talking of products that have one or two natural ingredients in the list
and they are claiming being natural) is more difficult to establish. The reasons are multiple and I will reveal them in a future article. In
spite of the difficulties, it is very rewarding for a company to offer his customers healthy products with no long term side effects.
What you get is a complex of vitamins, minerals, phytohormons, fatty acids, enzymes everything that the skin needs. It is difficult to eliminate
deep wrinkles, but you can diminish them most of all prevent them! The way to do this is to let the skin cells properly function by giving them
everything they need, the right amount of recognizable nutrients.
What you don’t know about natural Cosmetics is the complexity and difficulty to create a synergy of the active molecules to get the maximum skin
benefit. In order to get these results you must have a deep understanding of the biochemical processes to evaluate and predict how a natural
mixture acts as an entirety. This is a time consuming process and requires long term studies and tests.
I think that in this particular time a returning to the ancient herbs and oils knowledge with a complete understanding of a modern science is one
of the trends that we will have to promote in the cosmetic business as well as in food technology.
