Are Your Anti Aging Products Giving You Cancer?
Ageing is something no one can avoid and so there are huge numbers of people looking for a solution to looking older. The market is doeshuge for sales of anti aging products. Ageing people, in most cases, don’t realise that so many of the anti aging products available today contain ingredients which may be dangerous, and fragrances are a fine example.
Estimates are that there are some around 4000 different fragrances used in so many of the personal products that we use today including antiaging skin products. After all everyone wants to smell nice and it’s well known that adding a fragrance to a personal product helps it sell. So what’s the problem with smelling nice when you’re applying the latest anti aging skin care product?
Unfortunately most fragrances are just chemicals that are produced in a laboratory and whilst there’s nothing wrong with producing chemicals that are safe to use unfortunately there are plenty of studies showing that many are not. It might scare you to know about it if you read the studies.
Not every fragrance has health implications, there are some very good fragrances made from essential oils that do not, however these are usually too expensive and the anti aging companies always opt for the cheap alternative.
If you search the Cosmetic Safety Database you’ll see that fragrances are linked to cancer, immunotoxicity and neurotoxicity, allergies, disruption of the endocrine system, irritation to the eyes and skin and lungs and more.
When you apply that latest moisturizer that smells so nice to your skin you are covering a reasonably large area of your skin with the chemical fragrance. Your skin absorbs the fragrance and it gets into your system just as if you ate it.
Of course the same will apply to so many of our perfumes however at least when you apply a perfume you do so in only small amounts. Skin care products are applied over a quite large area of your skin.
All this may be a shock for you. It’s a sad fact that so many personal, beauty and anti aging skin care products that so many of us use every single day contain chemical ingredients that may well be dangerous to your health and which you are not warned about.It’s not just fragrances, there’s many more examples.
There is an opportunity here and some small niche companies have taken advantage of it. One now uses no fragrances at all for this exact reason and commits to making products that are safe enough to eat.
The market for antiaging skin products is worth billions of dollars and it’s a case of buyer beware. Though there may be studies showing the risks to so many ingredients in anti aging products the skin care companies are unlikely to warn you about them.
I write a website to educate about the risks of ingredients in modern personal products including anti aging skin care products and attempt to point people towards safe and effective alternative natural anti aging skin care products.
Naturally if you're going out to get an anti aging skin care system, whether you wish to stick with an organic anti aging skin care system or you do not care, you're going to need to make certain that you
