Organic Cosmetics by Dr. John | Why regular cosmetic products harm your skin and solutions for it

Are you aware of what you're using?

It is critical to understand the potential harm you might be doing to yourself, by looking through the lens of a microscope we have been able to identify which ingredients generate positive reactions and those that are in fact harming millions around the world.

The beauty and cosmetics world is filling with the newest devices and pioneering ingredients, but when it comes to handling some of the most common skin care problems, newer isn't always the best option. In some cases, simple natural options might be as effective as scientifically engineered products.

"Most of my clients already have an healthy life and want to extend that way of living to their skin care routine", says a dermatologist from US that works with us. "Finding effective clean beauty products isn't as simple as finding organic products at the grocery store, but it's easier than ever before to find something that will fit your needs."  

Here are some examples of what the ingridients within regular cosmetics products can do to you: 

  • Parabens are common in shampoo, shaving cream, moisturizers, and other makeup products. They can harm your skin.
  • Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) are preservatives often used in lipsticks and moisturizers. The US Department of Health and Human Services says BHA is "reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen," given what it does to animals.
  • PEG (polyethylene glycol) compounds are petroleum-based and used to make cosmetics absorb more quickly into the skin.
  • Talc and asbestos are commonly found in makeup in trace amounts. Asbestos, a known cancer-causer, was found in makeup sold by the regular stores this year.
