4 Dangerous Skin Care Ingredients

We all want flawless skin, but some skin care brands use harmful skin care ingredients that can be detrimental to your health. Because the only regulation cosmetics face is that they must be safe when used as directed, there is almost no oversight of most beauty products. Cosmetics do not need FDA approval before going to the market. What is your current skin care hiding?  

Skin Care Ingredients to Avoid 

Because of the relatively unregulated state of cosmetics, some other skin care brands use ingredients that may compromise your health. Here is a list of four skin care ingredients to avoid – ingredients you will never find in Éclatant Botanicals. 

Sulfates

The most common sulfates, sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate, provide the foaming action in most lathering skin care products. While not hazardous to your health, sulfates present their share of problems. Sulfates can cause eye and mouth irritation and may have contaminants shown to be carcinogenic in small animals. For people with sensitive skin, sulfates may actually clog pores and cause acne. If you have sensitive skin, sulfates are definitely skin care ingredients to look out for. 

Phthalates 

Phthalates are not often listed in the ingredients, but that makes them no less dangerous. Phthalates are also known as plasticizers because they are used to make plastics more bendy. As skin care ingredients, they are used to dissolve other ingredients. Although no health effects from phthalates have been detected in humans, animals have shown adverse reproductive effects. 

Parabens

Because many skin care ingredients are organic, they are subject to biodegrading. As a result, skin care companies have included preservatives in their products to increase their shelf life. One kind of preservative sometimes used are parabens. Parabens can be found in almost every type of personal care product from moisturizers to deodorants to sun screens. Unfortunately, they also cause hormone imbalance, so best to avoid them. 

Metals 

The FDA has only tested for certain metals in cosmetics once and did not find an amount that would pose an immediate health risk. Still, other health risks, those that develop over time, still may exist. One example is aluminum (which the FDA did not test for), a common deodorant ingredient, that may be linked to Alzheimer’s disease and breast cancer. 

Conclusion 

This is not a complete list and is only a fraction of the harmful ingredients you will never find in Éclatant Botanicals. You will also never find DEA, MEA, TEA, propylene glycol, formaldehyde, and a long list of synthetic skin care ingredients. Because of a general lack of oversight and safety testing of cosmetics, your cosmetics may contain skin care ingredients that are bad for your health.
