The Straight Goods in Dry Skin Cream
When skin is dry, flakey or chapped, here are some of the main ingredients skin care companies prepare for you in a dry skin cream:
- Petroleum/petrolatum/mineral oil: derived from crude oil, clogs pores to impede water loss
- Urea: synthetic preservative, toxic and highly irritating
- Cetyl/Stearyl alcohol: synthetic emulsion stabilizer said to be moisturizing. Can cause contact dermatitis and/or eczema
- Propylene Glycol: synthetic 'moisturizing agent' also used as antifreeze. Increases 'smooth' feel of emulsions
- (Isopropyl, methyl, propyl) Paraben: most widely used cosmetic and food-grade preservatives in North America. Endocrine disruptors (mimic estrogen) and linked
to breast cancer
Rather than these toxic ingredients, dry skin cream should use ingredients that are purely beneficial for your skin as well as your body. Pure, natural ingredients give your skin--and your spirit--the nourishment it is craving in the knowledge that they are healthy and skin friendly.
