Over The Counter Cosmetic... Secret Harmful Ingredients

What you don't know about the Drug Store Cosmetics....
                    That can actually hurt your skin!!!

It turns out that sometimes cosmetics may contain harmful or hazardous substances. 
The worst part is that not all of them are listed on the label, which includes only the basic ingredients.

Here are some hidden secrets... with natural alternatives.

Alcohol is not right for everyone
Lotions containing alcohol can safely be recommended to anyone with oily skin prone to inflammation. Alcohol has drying and disinfecting properties(amount should never exceed 15-17%.)  Consider DNA SuperNatural Vitamin A Serum the natural Vitamin A (Retin-A) won't cause redness, peeling or sensitivity and the serum will not cause oil build up. 
If your skin is dry, you should avoid using alcohol-containing cosmetics. Otherwise your skin will start flaking and will feel tight and stretched on your face. Try Kiss My Face Potent & Pure Ultra Hydrating Moisturizer it uses Vitamins A,C, E & Organic Jojoba Oils to keep your skin on track.
And Forget about alcohol lotions in the winter when the skin is subject to so many unpleasant influences – cold weather, sudden changes in temperature, dry air, etc.
Paraffin aids the formation of blackheads
Paraffin is often an ingredient in anti-aging cosmetics. You won't find Paraffin in any of NaturalOrganicBody.com Age Corrective products. However, it is not recommended for problem skin – oily or mixed type. It creates a thin coat over the skin which prevents the disposal of toxins through the pores and hinders the access of oxygen. As a result, the skin loses its smoothness and elasticity.
Paraffin, however is irreplaceable when it comes to softening the hands. It has a warming effect and speeds metabolism.

Mineral oils clog the pores
This is why they can cause inflammations and allergic reactions. The film that they create over the epidermis protects it from dehydration but it also prevents additional moisturizing. Besides, mineral substances are harder to absorb and hinder the cellular exchange processes. Let’s not forget that paraffin and mineral oils are derivatives of petrol! No worries... the cosmetic products featured on NaturalOrganicBody.com don't have any mineral oils in them. In fact, only vegetable oils and essential organic oils.

Glycerin dehydrates
In days past glycerin was considered an excellent moisturizer. It is now known that in large amounts it can be harmful, especially to dry skin, because it draws moisture from the deeper layers of the skin. If you have a need for moisturizing, Opt for a Collagen Restorative Moisturizer w/Rejuvinating Anti Wrinkle properties and no signs of Glycerin. Forget about glycerin soap which was so popular at one time. Using body gel or liquid soap from our NaturalOrganicBody.com Body Products is way pleasanter and better for the skin.
