nbsp; The truth is that a formula only has to contain a couple of natural ingredients for it to qualify for the all natural label. This is why you often get stuck using formulas where the only natural compounds present are collagen and elastin, or petroleum based moisturizing compounds.
I will talk about the downside of these compounds in a moment, but first I want to clue you in on what your product will more than likely contain other than these natural substances. The average skin care product is developed using mostly synthetic versions of the ingredients you need for good skin health, and chemical agents better kept at arms length.
What the typical anti aging natural skin care formula contains is a wealth of chemicals known for causing a variety of very serious ailments in humans, including cancer. Look at the ingredients label of nearly any of the anti aging skin care formulas on the market, and you will see a long list of these agents. Let me tell you about a few of them that you should take extra care to look out for.
Ingredients such as Acrylamide, TEA (triethanolamine), DEA (diethanolamine), MEA (monoethanolamine), dioxane, padimate-O, polyethylene glycol, and methyl, butyl, ethyl, and propyl parabens are all known carcinogens. Other chemicals such as phenol carbolic acid, toluene, and triclosan can cause organ toxicity, central nervous system damage, circulatory collapse, and respiratory failure.
The petroleum based moisturizers commonly found in anti aging natural skin care formulas are mineral oil, paraffin wax, and petrolatum. None of these compounds will provide your skin with moisture, as they are all too dense to effectively penetrate your skin. They also do not contain the essential vitamins, minerals, or fatty acids necessary for maintaining healthy skin that plant based oils and waxes will provide.
The other thing these types of formulas don’t offer you is compounds effective in reducing the lines and wrinkles in your skin.&n
