What Are Hypoallergenic Skin Care Products And Non Comedogenic Skin Care Products? Or Are They A Con?
Anyone who’s had an allergic reaction to anti aging skin care products would be forgiven for looking for hypoallergenic skin care products. Similarly anyone who’s had their acne exacerbated by modern skin care products would also be forgiven for looking for non comedogenic anti aging products.
Most modern anti aging skin products contain petrochemical and chemical ingredients that can produce health problems including allergies and skin reactions. And many also contain mineral oil which clogs the pores of the skin and can create acne.
But there is no definition of what hypoallergenic skin care is or for that matter what non comedogenic is and if you see skin care products labelled as hypoallergenic or non comedogenic they may or may not be.
This is because the FDA is not required to examine any claims made on the labels of anti aging skin care products. The industry is entirely self regulated and as a result there is no requirement that any manufacturer prove any claims that it makes on the labels of its products.
There are powerful reasons for consumers to look for hypoallergenic skin care and non comedogenic anti aging products but there are many traps for the unwary and it is likely that products labeled as such may still contain many of the chemical and petrochemical ingredients that you should be avoiding.
So if you’ve had an allergic reaction from an anti aging moisturizer for example, how do you successfully find a good hypoallergenic moisturizer if this is the case?
What you need to do is to find the company that clearly and publicly demonstrates its commitment to the safety of the ingredients used in it’s products (as well as to the effectiveness of it’s products).
There are a number of companies, one especially, that publicly evidences a corporate philosophy and a commitment to producing natural skin care products which use high quality natural ingredients which are known safe and do not produce allergies. There is an organisation called the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and it is possible on their website to sign a compact that publicly commits the company to producing products with only known safe ingredients.
And there are also companies, including this one particular company, which strive to make it totally clear on their website that they have a corporate philosophy that all products produced by that company shall be totally safe to use. This commitment to product safety comes before all other commitments.
Unusually the company that produces natural skin care products in this way does not label them as hypoallergenic skin care products or non comedogenic skin care products at all though in fact this is what they are.
In other words you need to go beyond the claims made on the label and look behind the corporate philosophy of the company that makes the products to find a dedication to making safe products before all else.
And you would usually find that a company with such a stated commitment to product safety makes equally effective skin care products as well.

The Hype Behind Anti Age Skin Care Products
Research and development are what should be the cornerstone of any effort to formulate an anti-aging skin care product. The difficulty is that many times corners are cut and you end up with less than desirable ingredients in your anti-aging skin care creams.
Why would a major cosmetics company use inferior compounds in their anti aging skin care product, yet still charge such a unreasonable price? It may be because it has the moniker of a certain fashion designer or one of the ‘hot today gone tomorrow’ young celebs on the label.
If this is the case, then it’s simple to see why there’s less to their anti aging skin cream, or at least this one. It’s because with the use of a famous image or name comes licensing costs to that person, and they must make up that money somehow.
Of course, the company can not afford to raise the cost of their anti-aging skin care creams to the point where they price themselves out of the well-liked market, so the only possible way left in order to lower their cost is to use cheaper ingredients.
Celebrity endorsements are not the only element that can affect the cost of an anti-aging skin care product. Even without the famous name, there’s still advertising to be done. Print and television adverts are a large piece of a cosmetics company’s yearly budget.
If there were some way to convince these companies that if they were to direct much of the cash that’s spent on marketing over to their research and development wing, then they could enjoy the resources to provide higher quality better anti aging skin care creams.
that is not the way that it works for most corporations. They for some reason would rather depend on slick sales of an inferior anti-aging skin care product. Apparently half truths and exaggerated claims are forgiven as long as the consumer is completely convinced.
the majority of these anti age skin care creams essentially contain very few active ingredients, and even they can only be found in low concentrations. This affects both the quality and the effectiveness of the product, but you’ve got to economize somewhere, right?
The primary ingredient used is generally nothing more than purified water. Then the developers add a clutch of chemicals, dyes, and perfumes. In the final analysis there is not too much space left for a high concentration of active components.
The best anti age skin creams on the market today aren’t sold in retail shops or in dept store. You’ll most likely never see a broadcasted ad for them either. The best products are the ones that are available direct from the manufacturer.
You will get natural substances in higher concentrations, because the ‘fillers’ are left out. Their all natural product contains significant antioxidants like CoQ10, vitamins, moisturizing oils, vegetable wax and restorative proteins.
This is the sort of anti age skin care product worth buying. No celebrities, no fillers, no lies.
