  Product Review - MAC Cosmetics

  From what I could find, MAC does not claim to be a natural skin care line. They do claim to be cruelty free. However, since I received a call asking me about the ingredients in the MAC Cosmetics, I will review one product here and provide the link to the ingredients for the rest of their products.

  Finding the ingredients for this product line was not easy. Below I have listed the ingredients for one of their skin care items. The ingredients in red are the objectionable ingredients and the reason why I do not recommend MAC Cosmetics.

  Green Gel Cleanser:
  Water (Aqua Purificata) Purified, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, TEA-Lauryl Sulfate, Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, Cocamide MEA, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Extract, Laminaria Saccharina Extract, PPG-5-Ceteth-20, Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), Pantethine, Butylene Glycol, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Benzophenone-4, Octyl Salicylate, Sodium Chloride, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Fragrance (Parfum), Sodium Citrate, Trisodium HEDTA, BHT, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Blue 1, Yellow 5

  What you put on your skin is absorbed into your bloodstream. So you want to make sure that your skin care products are truly natural, preferably organic. The skin care products you use should feed and and nourish your skin with the same kind of healthy ingredients you would find in your kitchen. The best natural skin care products are made from food-grade organic ingredients and are certified by the USDA National Organic Program.

  Yours in health,

• Product Review - Decleor

  06May
  Categories: Natural Skin Care, Natural Skin Care Ingredients Comments: 0

  A recent review of the Decleor Product line called it “Solution-Based Holistic and Natural Skincare.”

  Decleor is described as a natural skin care product line that “combines Aromatherapy to purify the skin, and Phytotherapy to protect it from environmental damage” resulting in “high-quality products that support the skin and delight the senses.”

  Looking at the ingredients in a couple of these supposedly natural products in this new skin care line quickly demonstrated that their definition of holistic and natural skin care was NOT natural and holistic at all.

  Take for example the ingredients in the Decleor Cleansing Gel:

  Water (Aqua), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Water, Sodium Lauroyl Oat Amino Acids, Acrylates Copolymer, Triethanolamine, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Fragrance (Parfum), Propylene Glycol, Tetrasodium Edta, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Propylparaben, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone

  The ingredients listed in red should never be found in a truly natural product. The best natural skin care product lines will contain truly natural ingredients. The ultimate best natural skin care brands that are those that are also certified organic.

  Don’t be fooled by misinformation about the healthfulness of organic and natural skin care products. It is abundant. Protect yourself by learning the simple basics of reading product labels.

  Yours in health,

  Product review for Glimpse natural skin care line from Xango

   

  The company website says that Glimpse is “a wholesome, natural, botanical line of skin care products that works in harmony with the needs of your body.”

   

  The ingredients in natural skin care products, to be considered “wholesome,” should be healthy ingredients. Because a great deal of what you put on your skin is absorbed into your bloodstream, the ingredients should be ingredients that you want in your body, like the ingredients in foods that you would eat.

   

  Their moisturizer contains hydrogenated oils from soy and canola. Hydrogenated oils are unhealthy. They contain trans fats that are associated with heart disease. In addition, not only are soy and canola oils bad for your health, but they are among the most commonly genetically engineered crops.

   

  Furthermore this product has ingredients derived from corn, also commonly genetically engineered.

   

  The only way to be sure these ingredients are not GE, if it’s not stated on the label, is to buy natural skin care products that are 100% organic. Better yet, choose products that are both organic and do not contain soy or canola or any other hydrogenated oils.

   

  In addition, the product is preserved with sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate. While potassium sorbate is one of the less harmful preservatives, sodium benzoate is not. If there is vitamin C in the product, a possibility because some of the ingredients in this product may contain vitamin C, sodium benzoate can react with vitamin C and cause the formation of benzene, known to cause cancer.

   

  The best natural skin care product is certified organic with healthy ingredients that you would find in your kitchen, ingredients that you would feel great about eating.

   

  Not only is the Glimpse product line less desirable than the best certified organic skin care products on the market, it is also quite a bit more costly. Why pay more for lower quality and inferior ingredients?
