How to Rate a Natural Skin Care Company
Each and every skin care company has its own brands which we tend to look up to and rely on when we choose products.
And they have objectives which vary and these usually are central to making a profit.
Your concern should be to what extent, at what cost, what risks to you or, better, benefits are they are willing to have a fat bank balance.
And this is the part where you need to know your ingredients - what they are capable of.
Ingredients to look out for: You can't afford to have most kinds of alcohols in your products.
Some of these alcohols are notorious for scrapping off the skin's essential oils, its natural acid mantle and making it prone to infections, making the skin dry and irritant.
Harmful alcohols include ethyl, ethanol, methanol, benzyl alcohol isopropyl and SP alcohol.
But there are safe alcohol such as stearyl and cetearyl alcohol.
Another ingredient which has been proven to be harmful is Acrylamide which is found in many hand and face creams.
And there are parabens if you have already heard of them.
Many of these ingredients are toxic because of the fact that they are carcinogenic or cancerous and have many more toxic effects on your health and skin.
Hence, ingredients used in products are the ones which should be relied on in the task of rating skin care companies not the brand or the advert.
Now let's discuss what a good natural skin care company will use in its products.
I believe that it is about organic, natural, effective ingredients.
And it is.
Take Active Manuka honey, this is a natural extract.
It has natural anti bacterial and anti oxidant properties that are extremely helpful to the skin.
Then there is grape seed oil - it is also a powerful antioxidant.
It is shown to reduce stretch marks on the skin, keep moisture in and repair the skin around the eyes.
Plus it contains Vitamin E.
Lastly, Phytessence Wakame.
It is a 'Japanese beauty preserver' and is derived from Japanese sea algae.
That detail just explains how natural it is.
Scientific research shows that it can produce quite a dramatic anti wrinkle effect, as it can increase collagen and elastin production in the skin.
Therefore, these ingredients should serve as a guide to what a natural skin care company should be focusing on including in their products.
