Why Should You Use A Natural Moisturizer?
Posted on 27. Nov, 2009 by Peter Albertonach in Women's Health
Natural moisturizers and other natural skin care products make up the fastest growing segment of the skin care and anti aging market, and for good reasons. There are powerful reasons why more and more consumers are turning to natural skin products that are, in most cases, more effective than the products that you may be familiar with now, and which may also be safer. Lets examine the reasons to use a natural moisturizer.
Modern skin care products including many well-known moisturizers and other anti aging products contain petrochemical and chemical ingredients. A good ingredient to highlight 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 has no moisturizing properties. It is used to coat the skin with a film of oil with the expectation that this will prevent moisture loss. Whilst this is effective it means that the user risks all the health concerns previously mentioned and also increases the risk of acne.
There is a wide range of naturally occurring ingredients which are extremely effective as natural skin moisturizers. Ingredients such as olive oil, shea butter and macadamia nut oil as well as many others are all known to be excellent natural moisturizers. However they are rarely used in mainstream anti aging skin care products because they are much more expensive than the chemical alternatives.
What I have previously outlined is gradually becoming much more well known and this is why there is a growing and powerful movement away from chemical and petrochemical laden skin care products towards more natural alternatives which use safer and more effective natural ingredients.
Some consumers are choosing to source these natural moisturizers and are using them in their raw state. Whilst some are available in their raw state some are not, and that can be messy and awkward to make up your own facial moisturizer or body moisturizer in this way.
But there are companies, usually small niche skin care company, which recognise the opportunity in this problem and who choose to manufacture natural skin care products with known safe and effective natural ingredients. These companies produce excellent products such as natural moisturizers which are very effective.
Obviously if these natural ingredients are so expensive the products in which they are used must also be extremely expensive. Correct? No in fact that’s not the case. The reason is that these companies, well one in particular, chooses not to advertise on television and as the cost of television advertising is about the major component of the price of most anti aging products, by refusing to advertise this company is able to market it’s natural skin care range at highly competitive prices. And it backs up its products with a money back guarantee.
So as you can see there are very strong reasons for this powerful and growing movement away from chemical laden anti aging skin care products advertised on TV. The movement is towards natural skin care products which are both safe and effective 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’ve recently discovered the problems with mainstream skin care products and are searching for a high quality natural moisturizer the good news is that they are available. To find out where they are available visit my website.
