Ever wondered why you’re starting to see so many more oil beauty and cosmetic products? There’s a good reason for that and the word is starting to get out in the mainstream beauty world.
Start by taking a look at the ingredients on the label of your favourite moisturizer. Chances are the list is long and that many of the ingredients are hard to pronounce. Here’s the ingredient list of favourite classic brand that’s been built on being natural and pure.
Flagship Moisturizer: Ingredients: Water\Aqua\Eau, Mineral Oil\Paraffinum Liquidum\Huile Minerale, Glycerin, Petrolatum, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Oil, Urea, Lanolin Alcohol, Triethanolamine, Hordeum Vulgare (Barley) Extract\Extrait D’Orge, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seedcake, Propylene Glycol Dicaprate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Butylene Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, Trisodium Edta, Phenoxyethanol, Yellow 6 (Ci 15985), Yellow 5 (Ci 19140), Red 33 (Ci 17200) <ILN39477>
I don’t know about you but there’s a bunch in there that I can’t pronounce. The first ingredient on the list is pretty straightforward since it’s water. In fact lotions are usually comprised of up to 70% water. When you check the price tags on some of those products that becomes some very pricey water. And if a cosmetic product has water in the ingredients it must have preservatives as it will mould and go bad without them.
There’s a few preservatives out there that are natural but for the most part it’s another chemical that is being added to the other chemicals and artificial ingredients you’re slathering on your skin.
If you’re just getting started understanding the different cosmetic ingredients that are being used I’d recommend spending some time on https://www.ewg.org
It’s a great place to learn about just how many chemicals and preservatives we are exposed to on a daily basis. Stay natural as much as possible and try to minimize your exposure whenever it’s possible.
There’s a lot of great reasons to use oil products instead of lotions but one of the main factors is oil products when properly formulated do not require preservatives. So you can enjoy the great benefits without the chemicals.
