Tips on Selecting Cosmetic and Skin Care Products

Did You Know?

No cosmetic or skin care product can honestly be termed 100% natural. A “natural” cosmetic or skin care product is generally a product containing a small amount of “natural” ingredients. The rest of the product, simultaneously, is a combination of synthetic ingredients. Yet, the ingredients in these “natural products” may have greater safety than their synthetic counterparts!

Besides plants, the ingredients in “natural products” are usually minerals or animal-derived ingredients, such as crushed insects, fish scales, snail slime, or swine brain cells. These ingredients are often given nicer names, an example being carmine, a common red colouring agent in lipsticks and foods, which is obtained through insects. Similarly, another colourant, guanine, is acquired from fish scales. There are skin care products with added snail slime or cerebrosides (derived from the cells of animals) that claim to be beneficial and hold moisture-retention effects.

Health and safety should be of utmost priority. Various ingredients can bring instant results, but may also stress the skin and body. This can occur when elements are ingested (orally) by accident or absorbed through skin like serum, essence, lotion and toner (externally). As a result, please do your research before making any decision to purchasing products from unknown sources online and review the company’s background to reduce the risks of damage to your health or skin.
