Are Hypoallergenic Skin Care Products And Non Comedogenic Skin Care Products A Con?

Recommended:

If you have had a nasty allergic skin reaction to modern anti aging in care products then you’re in good company and you may be forgiven for looking for hypoallergenic skin care products. Or perhaps you’ve had your acne exacerbated by modern anti aging products and so you’d be equally forgiven for searching for non comedogenic skin care products.

Most modern anti aging skin products contain petrochemical and chemical ingredients that can produce health problems including allergies and skin reactions. And many also contain mineral oil which clogs the pores of the skin and can create acne.

But there is no definition of what hypoallergenic skin care is or for that matter what non comedogenic is and if you see skin care products labelled as hypoallergenic or non comedogenic they may or may not be.

The FDA does not examine and is not required to examine any claims made on the labels of cosmetics or anti aging products and these industries are entirely self regulating. Manufacturers do not need to justify any claims made on the label of the products.

So you can see there are powerful reasons to find good hypoallergenic skin products and non comedogenic skin products and you can also see the problem and the reasons to be suspicious. You should not believe claims made on the labels of any skin care products, they may contain all the same chemical ingredients as any others.

So if you’ve had an allergic reaction from an anti aging moisturizer for example, how do you successfully find a good hypoallergenic moisturizer if this is the case?

What you need to do is to find the company that clearly and publicly demonstrates its commitment to the safety of the ingredients used in it’s products (as well as to the effectiveness of it’s products).

There are companies, one in particular, that publicly evidence a corporate philosophy that commits the company to producing products which only use high quality and known safe ingredients. For example there is an organization called the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and it is possible for companies to sign the compact on the website of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics which publicly evidences the intention of the company to use only safe ingredients in it’s products.

And there are also companies, including this one particular company, which strive to make it totally clear on their website that they have a corporate philosophy that all products produced by that company shall be totally safe to use. This commitment to product safety comes before all other commitments.

This one company produces a range of natural skin care products that are, strangely, not labeled as hypoallergenic or non comedogenic skin care products at all, though they are.

In other words if you’re searching for safe skin care products you need to go beyond believing what is written on the label of the products and look at the corporate philosophy of the company that makes the products to find evidence of their commitment to producing safe products.

And usually you will find that a company that commits itself to making totally safe products will also make the highest quality skin care products available.
