You probably use a moisturizer on your skin every day. There’s nothing wrong with taking care of your skin and there’s so many different skin care products, like moisturizers, available. But you may not be aware that many skin care products contain chemical ingredients such as sodium lauryl sulphate and this includes modern moisturizers. This may risk your health you may be better advised to use a natural moisturizer.
Sodium lauryl sulphate works very well as a degreaser. Mechanics use it to degrease engines and because of its properties it is used in many well known brands of soaps and shampoos, and consumers are becoming more and more aware that finding sodium lauryl sulphate in your shampoos and soaps is not good.
But it’s not nearly so well known that so many big name moisturizers also contain sodium lauryl sulphate, (as well as many of the chemical ingredients) and using these products regularly may cause skin cancer.
There was a study done on mice reported in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. In this study the scientists were looking to understand better the effects of caffeine on mice. As part of the study a number of moisturizers were applied to the skin of the mice 5 times a day for 17 weeks and the mice also received some UV radiation to simulate sunlight.
All the moisturizers used in the study contain sodium lauryl sulphate. They also contained petrochemical ingredients such as mineral oil.
In a surprising result, given that this was not what was being studied, the researchers discovered that the risk of skin cancer in mice who received an application of moisturizer was increased by 69 percent.
The scientists were interested in this result and decided to rerun the study using a different moisturizer with no sodium lauryl sulphate or mineral oil. And when they did this they discovered that there was no increase in the risk of skin cancer to the mice.
Perhaps now you’re beginning to see the link between moisturizers, sodium lauryl sulphate and skin cancer and are beginning to wonder whether you should be considering a natural moisturizer next time you’re looking to buy your anti aging skin care products.
Or maybe you’ve just thrown away the moisturizer you have in the cupboard now.
It’s sad to say but there are many chemical and petrochemical ingredients such as sodium lauryl sulphate mineral oil used in so many of the big brand-name anti aging skin care products that you may take for granted and use every day. There are excellent and very safe natural ingredients which are well known to make excellent natural moisturizers. For example there are many oils from fruits and nuts which work well as natural moisturizers. But the big brand-name companies rarely use these because chemicals like sodium lauryl sulphate are much cheaper.
And there are some outstanding natural moisturizers on the market. They use ingredients which are known to be safe and will not put you at risk of skin cancer. One company in particular makes an outstanding range of natural skin care products and chances are you’ve never even heard of it. None of their products contain sodium lauryl sulphate or any other known harmful ingredients.
It’s about time to consider throwing away those big name anti aging skin care products which you may be using right now and which may be putting you at risk of skin cancer or worse. There are excellent natural alternatives such as natural moisturizers which work equally well and generally better and do not risk your health at all.
