Choosing safe and natural skin care products can be tough.   It isn’t that companies don’t “claim” to provide them.  It’s just that their claims are not always honest.

Safety is truly the big issue here.  If you are like most people, you would like naturally occurring ingredients, because you believe they are safer than artificial ingredients.   In most cases, you are right.   But, there are a few exceptions.

Lead, mercury, cadmium and other heavy metals are naturally occurring compounds.   They may not be on the list of ingredients in your favorite cosmetics, they can be present as contaminants in natural plant extracts.

1000’s of contaminants exist in tap water, which is why water must be refined before it is used in skin care products.   Purified water is not a naturally occurring substance.   You can see the contradictions and the confusion. 

We should be able to believe in the producer’s ability to produce the safest all natural skin care creams.   How can you find a company worthy of your trust?

Look for a proud signer of the “Compact for Safe Cosmetics”.  Companies signing the compact agree to follow the European Union’s stricter standards for skin care ingredients.  Large companies were given the chance to sign.  Not one has agreed to sign.  

The EU has tightly regulated or banned thousands of ingredients, because they are known to cause birth defects, cancer or inherited mutations.  The US has restricted only a few compounds.  

The latest article from the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is warning against fragrance ingredients.   Whether chemical or naturally occurring, fragrances can trigger asthma attacks, cause wheezing and headaches.   They are also common allergens. 

By law, cosmetic producers are not allowed to sell anything that can cause trauma to the wellness of the user.  But, they are not required to prove the safety of the ingredients they use.   Any company that uses chemical preservatives is actually breaking the law, because they are known to cause allergic reactions.  That is harmful to the user’s health.

As you continue your search for anti aging skin care products, be sure to look for manufacturers  that have signed the compact.   That way, you’ll be safe.
