What You Should Know Before Buying ANY Skin Care
A lot of skin care companies will not provide their ingredient lists. In the case of at least one household-name skin care giant, the ingredient lists are aggressively guarded by online customer care departments. You have to ask what they are trying to hide.
If you have allergies or skin problems then you should check the ingredients of every cosmetic product before buying. Most developed countries require by law that product ingredients be listed on the label or packaging so that’s one place to find them if you are buying in person at a store.
When buying via mail order or online you’d be recommended to only buy from retailers who are upfront about the ingredients in their products and freely provide the complete ingredient list (not just the ones they want you to know about) for inspection on their website.

There are some blantantly wrong facts in this article, as well as misleading statements. Propylene/butylene glycol is NOT "rose ether". Perhaps the rose ether comment was meant to be included with phenoxyethanol (which would be correct). And as for the comments on phenoxyethanol, while in its concentrated form it may be (or may not be) toxic, harmful if inhaled or swallowed, cause reproductive defects, . . . it is not at low levels used in personal care products. In fact, phenoxyethanol does occur in nature and is found in high grade green tea and as an airborne material in the vicinity of cotton fields. While not concrete proof, this does suggest a long history of low-level human inhalation-ingestion without obvious problems.
ALS and SLS are abbreviations for ammonium lauryl sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate, NOT laureth sulfate. The abbreviations you are looking for are ALES and SLES.
It is also confusing that you begin by making a claim that a lot of skin care companies will not provide their ingredient lists and aggressively guard them, and then in the next paragraph comment that in most developed countries are required by law on labels. Comparing "silicone-laden" cosmetics to a plastic bag on the skin is also an over-dramatization. It's no surprise that the author of this article is also selling their own line of "natural" products. And as for leaving a comment, if you want an answer in the form of a number, use numbers in the question. If you ask what four + five is, the answer is nine - not 9.April 16, 2008 13:05:08 |
