Most health and beauty products have unnatural and unhealthy
alcohol ingredients.
The list of ingredients of cosmetics, health and beauty
products will show additives from highest (first) to lowest (last) on the jars
and bottles. Many are now asking for all natural ingredients, so users are not
exposed to harmful by-products. There are a number of alcohol derivatives in
many creams and lotions. There is also new evidence that these compounds are
detrimental to skins health. They will not only create dry skin with alcohols,
but even do much more major skin damage.
Dermatologists indicate there are a number of ways in which
alcohol can be damaging to the outer lay of the skin or protective layer called
the mantle. The mantle keeps out germs, bacteria and other detrimental
invaders. Many health and beauty products add alcohols in part to break down
the mantle layer of the skin so vitamin C, oils and other ingredients can enter
the skin. Science says this action will
destroy the skins surface and actually dry's out the skin. It will also cause a
chain reaction by creating free radical damage, inflammation with the dryness
which evaporates the skins moisture. The higher the concentration of alcohol in
a compounds ingredient list then the more damage it will cause. It can also
cause long term damage of premature aging as the skin will be more exposed and
susceptible to the environment and also sun damage. These alcohols glycols
which are used as humectants that delivers ingredients into the skin. When fats
and oils fatty acids are chemically reduced, or are less dense then they become
fatty alcohols and become cleansing agents. There are even more aggressive and
damaging health and beauty alcohol additives like ethyl, methanol, benzyl, and
isopropyl alcohols, which not only can be extremely drying and irritating to
skin, but may be cytotoxic, which means toxic to the skin cells.
This why so many people are looking at DIY (Do It Yourself)recipes. People see that there are many additives such as these alcohols,
parabens, and other unnatural fillers that can be harmful, damaging and
prematurely age the skin. Blue Planet Organic created a DIY e-book available
for free with each purchase of its Shea Body Butter. The company indicated
