Did you know that some of the most widely recommended face and body creams, including many from "natural" brands, contain harmful ingredients like alcohol, phthalates, parabens, petroleum, formaldehyde, and synthetic fragrances? These substances can dry out skin, cause irritation, disrupt hormones, and even pose serious health risks.
Alcohol (often listed in skincare products as 'alcohol denat.' or 'ethyl alcohol') not only ages the skin prematurely by drying out its natural moisture but also hampers the absorption of vital anti-aging nutrients like Vitamin A.
Phthalates, found in many cosmetics, are known to seep into the body and have been linked to various health issues, including cancer.
Parabens, especially chlorinated variants, mimic estrogen and are significantly toxic.
Petroleum derivatives (i.e. petroleum jelly), often contaminated with carcinogens, and formaldehyde, a notorious irritant and potential carcinogen, are commonly found in skincare despite their known risks.
Fragrances, though they may mask unpleasant odors or even earthy aromas in natural skincare brands, are a leading cause of skin allergies and respiratory issues as they are typically synthetic.
