Do You Know What Paraben Free Face Care Is?

Summary by Tara Mathews, edited by Ferdinand Rinaldy

What are parabens? A paraben is a synthetic preservative that gives skin products a longer shelf life.

You will find parabens in many different products including cosmetic products, food products and deodorants. Are your skin care products paraben free lotions and creams? A good skin care product should contain natural ingredients not chemicals. For your safety, choose paraben free face care products.

It is time to stop applying these harmful preservatives to your skin. Breast cancer is also linked to estrogen as well. Makers of products containing these harmful additives counter that the preservatives are not absorbed into the skin. Imagine if you have been applying these inferior products to your skin for years. Paraben free face care products are available on the market today thanks to the research that has been done. In the mean time, turn your attention to using paraben free lotions and creams.

4 Surprising Tips about Organic Face Lotion

Summary by Tyler Treskin

Just because the label says “organic face cream” does not mean that you can assume the ingredients are safe.

Warning Labels

If the organic face lotion that you are considering bears warnings on the label, don’t buy it. Labeling like this indicates that the product you are about to buy contains known allergens, skin irritants or toxic compounds. Linalool, for example, is an ingredient that you will commonly see in antioxidant face cream organic products.

Sunburn protection factors or SPF ratings are often found on organic face cream. Oxybenzone, benzophenone, dioxybenzone and titanium dioxide are some of the organic ones.

Actually, I’d recommend that you avoid any antioxidant face cream organic or otherwise that has an SPF rating.

Preservatives

Preservatives, such as parabens, are technically antioxidants. The best organic face cream contains grape seed oil, an antioxidant and an effective preservative. Other important ingredients to look for in antioxidant face lotion organic creams include tocopherol (Vitamin E) and ubiquinone, which is coenzyme Q10. Hopefully, these suggestions will help you find safe and organic face cream that you can really live with.
