 Cosmetic products have been used for thousands of years in
the whole world. The manufacture of cosmetics is presently dominated by a small
number of corporations founded in the early 20th century. The manufacture of cosmetic
products is profitable business. Thousands of brands compete for the favor to
win the hearts of women and they use various tools to be forward. In conditions
when the cosmetic products of all big brands have similar efficiency, the
competitive approaches are practiced in regards to chemical content of products
to make shampoos and shower gel more attractive to consumers.
The cosmetic manufacturers do everything to please the
consumer. The latter goes shopping and looks for the shampoo and toothpaste to
foam and the manufacturers add more sodium laurel sulphate (SLS) – the agent
which is used to wash off greasy car details and garages. The substance causes irritation
to the skin, stimulates seborrhea and the most terrible thing is that the
substance that is accumulates in our tissues and internal organs then provoking
the number of diseases. It may seem ridiculous to match the eye cataracts with
regular use of shampoo with the strong synthetic aroma, and thus, Sodium Laurel
Sulphate is still the popular element to use in production of cosmetic
products.
Sodium Laureate Sulphate is used for the same purpose but the
detergent quality of the substance is minimized. The lavish foam merely creates
the illusion of density and concentrated content. The substance perfectly interacts
with other chemicals as components of the same cosmetic product producing
nitrates and dioxins. Moreover, it is too cheap and the shampoo on base of this
agent is too cheap for the producer thus the sale on the announced price is like
the sale of air to the consumer.
It is told that the skin ageing is conditioned with decrease
in collagen production. Look at shelves with the cosmetic products of the
medium class and you will see that collagen is the component of any anti-ageing
cream. This idea is brilliant from the marketing aspect though it is useless in
regards to cosmetology effect. Collagen exists in these products though it is
animal-based collagen, produced from the skin of the cattle. The size of
molecules of such collagen does not allow penetration into the skin and it
stays on the skin surface. However, the effect of the lifted skin presents. How
come? The cream produces a thing film on the surface of the skin which tightens
the skin in some areas and makes it smoother in other. Yet, under the layer of
the useless collagen the pores are blocked, bacteria grow and the skin stops
breathing well.
It is told that the skin needs to be moisturized regularly.
However, currently glycerin is the most popular component of most moisturizing
creams. The scheme of glycerin effect is too simple: it raises the moister from
the deeper layers of the skin to the surface and as a result we have pseudo-moisturizing
effect which lead to simple dehydration of the skin. And again and again we go
to buy the new product, more effective.
Vaseline and magical Mineral Oil are often the components of
nourishing and moisturizing creams. Both ingredients are the products of oil
products re-processing. They are useless and cause harm not health at all.
There is another popular moistening component that is propylene
glycol. And this element is the nightmare for all dermatologists. This is
extremely toxic substance and it is still used in cosmetic production. These
components penetrate the blood immediately and then destroy liver and kidneys.
Furthermore, it stimulates acne and comedone development.
By the way, the investigations on comedone are interfered
and suspended at first stages. It is easier to make money on problematic skin and
any manufacturer will make any attempts to impede the independent
investigations.
Nevertheless, in 2006 a small list of components causing acne
was prepared.
First of all, the red pigments matter like xanthet,
monoazoanylin, indigoid, and so forth. The cosmetic products attire the red
shade due to these pigments and so the lipstick and rouge you use should be of
the highest quality.
The elite cosmetic products contain pigments but they are
not harmful.
The next enemy to the skin is isothropyl and its
derivatives, like isopalmitate, isopropyl, isostearate, isostearile, isocetyle,
dekyl oleate, octyl palpate, butilstearate. These substances found in the foundation
are more harmful since they block pores, make the skin breathe worse, and the
skin is exposed to toxic substances and make sure you have all the possible
skin diseases.
The other comedo component is lanoline and its derivatives
like Corona 9, Solan E, cryolane and polyethylenglycol.
And, last remainder for women. Pay attention to the abbreviated
components on the cosmetic product packaging. The toxicological services, like the
regular acting US National Toxicological Program, prepare blacklists of the
prohibited components and the components appear abbreviated in the other manner
in a couple of months.
And the information you seek online is enough to learn about
such components.
The consumer philosophy should smoothly move to the new
level when we spend more funds and stay healthy than we save some amount of
money for lower quality products and expose ourselves to various problems.
