What Do You Know And Don't
Know About Skin Care Products
By: Claudia Budu
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.
