Green Skincare Products for Women
Long before modern day laboratories provided synthetic compounds to soothe aging skin and replenish moisture and nutrients, women all over the world used natural remedies to accomplish much the same things. Today it's possible to reap the benefits of those long sought after natural elixirs without having to wander into the woods with your gathering basket and clogs. Many natural products such as willowbark that are found in nature provide bionutrients that naturally detoxify and protect our skin, helping to restore it to its youthful glow. There's no need for manufactured formulas filled with synthetic chemicals and preservatives that damage our environment and may pose significant health risks. Today, being naturally beautiful and being beautiful naturally can be one and the same.
Beware of Harmful Ingredients - Many of the ingredients used in popular skincare products are known to pose health risks. Even though the U.S. Food & Drug Administration requires they be listed on ingredient labels, their use has not yet been prohibited. Paraben , for example, is commonly used as a preservative in the cosmetic industry. It has shown a possible link to breast cancer. It may also be listed on ingredient labels as Methylparaben , Propylparaben , IIsoparaben or Butylparaben . Phthalates are another group of carcinogens that are common in skincare products. Dibutylphthalate (DBP) and diethylphthalate (DEP) are used to help lotions absorb into the skin.
What are Bionutrients ? Bionutrients are chemical compounds found in nature. They include vitamins and minerals, amino acids and peptides, essential fatty acids, anti-oxidants, and sugars. Bionutrients provide the components essential for healthy skin without the health risks associated with manufactured ingredients that are used in a variety of skincare products.
