Looking for Safe Cosmetics? Say YES to “No Toxics Please”Let’s admit it. Using personal care products (e.g., skin care items, cosmetics, and hair care products) has become a huge part of our daily grooming routines. We’ve gotten used to using shampoo, conditioner and soap when we take a bath, applying lotion before we put on our clothes, and spraying ourselves with perfume before we get out of the house. But do we care to know what’s in these products before using them? Are we aware that these may contain toxic substances that can potentially cause serious health issues?

When it comes to using cosmetics, we have to bear in mind that not all cosmetics and grooming essentials are created equal. Yes, all of them can highlight our best physical features (e.g., high cheekbone, plump lips and deep-set eyes). But not all of them add nourishment to our skin. It’s those chemical-based products that we should be wary of because these can trigger allergic reactions and other skin concerns.

The Risks of Using Too Much Make-up

For those who say they can’t leave the house without wearing layers of cosmetics, today’s the perfect time to ditch artificial colours and go the natural way. Several researches link cosmetics as one of the leading causes of skin problems, three of the most common of which are the following: Unnaturally oily skin – Those who’ve tried using oil-based cosmetics, especially foundation, may have observed the sticky look and feel of this product on the skin. Instead of bringing out your natural, youthful glow, oil-based foundation and face powder will only give your face a think and oily sheen. The best way to go if you like to achieve a healthy glow is to go natural. Those with dry skin can follow these six tips to relieve dryness1 and those with oily skin can pick up these beauty routines to manage oily skin2.

Skin Reactions – The presence of preservatives and fragrances in beauty products can trigger skin reactions, which can either be irritant contact dermatitis3 or allergic contact dermatitis4.

Clogged pores – Certain types of cosmetics (especially those oil-based ones) clog the pores, trapping in acne-causing dirt and bacteria inside the skin. In the long run, this can cause chronic appearance of pimples, face redness and swelling. Experts recommend the use of non-comedogenic or non-acnegenic make-up to avoid clogged pores and acne.

5 Harmful Chemicals to Avoid When Shopping for Cosmetics

Now what exactly are the chemicals that cause these skin troubles? Based on lab experiments, the following toxic substances are the most harmful to the skin:

1. UV-blocking chemicals – Although we love sunscreen lotion for their capability to protect our body from direct sunlight, these products may also contain a range of chemicals that can harm the skin. The UV-blocking chemicals in sunscreen creams and lotions can disrupt endocrine system, which is responsible for hormonal functions. Specifically, the most commonly used UV-protection substances include Benzophenone, camphor, para-animo benzoic acid and octyl-methoxycinnamate.

2. Fragrance – Yes, we like to use perfumes, lotions, colognes, shampoo and conditioners with refreshing smell. But without our knowledge, these products contain artificial fragrances that can impair our cells’ defence mechanism, hampering our body’s natural way to detoxify.

3. Phthalates – Usually found in deodorant, nail polish and hair spray, this chemical can also disrupt physiological processes (e.g., fetal development, endocrine functions). Besides, a research also discovered that women who use cosmetics with high phthalate content are more at risk of diabetes.

4. Parabens – Although these are commonly used to preserve foods, parabens can also be found in cosmetics to extend a product’s shelf life. Many lab experiments show that the presence of parabens contributes to the development of food sensitivities, high stress hormones in expectant mothers and susceptibility to airborne allergies.

5. Triclosan – Otherwise called as Irgasan DP-300, Ster-Zac and Cloxifenolum, this chemical is most common in hand sanitizers, toothpaste and deodorant. Despite of its germ-killing properties, Triclosan can also get into our system.

Tips to Choose to Toxic-Free Cosmetics

Knowing the chemical content of regular cosmetics and its adverse effects on the body, it is practical for us to be wary of these chemical-based products. To ensure you’ve bought the right items, apply the following tips the next time you go shopping:

Read the label’s fine print. Beware! Not all cosmetics company stay true to their promise of producing “organic” or “natural” products. So to clarify things, take

a look at the ingredients list and see if the foundation, powder or lotion you’re planning to buy do contain any harmful chemicals (e.g., parabens, triclosan, fragrance). Look for a Certified Organic Logo.

Consult the experts and research first before shopping. Before you order cosmetics online or visit the nearest grocery store, make sure to educate yourself regarding cosmetic products. Read up on the latest scientific discoveries about certain components in make-up items. Better yet, consult a dermatologist to help you choose the right cosmetics suited to your ski type, complexion and other needs.

Opt for products made by reliable manufacturers. Don’t be an avid fan of fad beauty products. To be safe, choose supplies manufactured by reputable companies – those who’ll bother to apply patents for their products and let third-party authorities check their items first before launching these on the market. Yes, it’s certainly a practical decision to say YES to non-toxic beauty products. Doing this is the best way to protect your health, especially from the adverse effects of the disease-causing, and probably carcinogenic, chemicals present in some cosmetics. By steering clear from products with toxins and applying the shopping tips above, you can be more confident in using the items you’ve just bought.

Spot the Difference: Essential Oil vs. Synthetic FragranceApart from picturesque scenes, delicious foods

and soothing music, refreshing scents also have

the capacity to help us relax and get over a day’s or

week’s worth of stress and pressures. For instance,

many people find pleasure in taking walking tours

at parks and gardens to smell the subtle scent of

flowers. Others make it part of their daily routine to

spray perfume on their clothes before going to work

or school to smell nice. Still, many others like to take

a bath and go to bed with a lighted scented candle in

their room. If you’re more inclined to use perfume or

scented candles and soap, it might be best to know

how to choose the right scent for you. Basically, you

have two choices; you can either opt for products

with essential oils or synthetic fragrances. Now what’s

exactly the difference between these two?

Essential Oil - What is it?Essential oil is made from the essences and extracts of

aromatic plants. Usually, this is sourced from the skin

of plants, leaves, seeds, fruits, sap or flowers. Apart

from these, some essential oils are also obtained from

resins, roots and bark of certain trees. Experts refer

to essential oils as the “life force” of trees and plants,

knowing these contain therapeutic properties usually

used in aromatherapy. Because these are sourced

from natural plant materials, the types of essential

oils produced may depend on the season and the

availability may vary throughout the year.

The manner of obtaining this type of oil isn’t easy.

It involves a series of labour-intensive, physical

processes1, which usually starts with distillation or

maceration with either steam or water. In this process,

the raw plant material is crushed and steeped in warm

water to let out the enzyme-bound oils. After the

distillation process, the oil is then isolated from the

water phase. This method is commonly used when

extracting oils from wintergreen, onion, bitter almond

and garlic.

Apart from this, essences can also be obtained through

a process called expression or cold-pressing, which is

commonly used to extract oil from citrus peel.

Where and when it’s best used?With its relaxing scents, these are used as oils for

aroma-therapeutic massage and spa sessions.

Some soap, lotion and other beauty products also

contain essential oils, although a series of chemical

processes are applied to mix these with other cosmetic

ingredients. Oils can also be taken internally for

medicinal use.

Synthetic Fragrance - What is it?Synthetic oils or fragrances are usually manufactured.

These are made artificially using a range of substances

and chemicals to mimic a specific, natural scent such as

those of flowers and fruits. Usually used by perfumers,

synthetic fragrances are good replacements for natural

raw materials (e.g., plants, fruits, trees), which are

already diminishing. Producers can copy a range of

natural scents, which cannot be obtained naturally

such as lily or lilac.

Where and when it’s best used?Knowing synthetic fragrances are artificially made,

these are the usual types found in soaps, creams,

lotions, perfumes and other cosmetics that are meant

for mass production. Manufacturers of food flavourings

and candles also add fragrance oils to their products

to enhance the smell. Makers also apply patents for

their signature synthetic fragrances because the

production of these products involves a specific choice

of chemicals and blending processes. Unlike essential

oils, artificial scents should not be taken internally,

knowing its high chemical content.

Aroma - therapeutic properties of some plantsNow that you already know the difference between

essential and synthetic oils, it’s now time to shop for

the right fragrances.

Specific scents and their therapeutic propertiesAlthough there are a plethora of blends on the market

these days, you might like to get started with the

following scents to benefit from their specific aroma-

therapeutic qualities:

Peppermint – can be a perfect mental stimulant, especially for those who would be driving long distances.

Fir – is a good sanitizer and relaxant, which can lower stress levels and help one feel refreshed.

Ylang-Ylang – has a unique kind smell that can create a sense of sensuality and can also give one an instant happiness boost.

Lavender – has a calming, relaxing scent that can greatly reduce stress and enhance mood.

Vanilla – has a relaxing smell that helps reduce stress.

Rosewood – exudes a calming smell that canfunction as an anti-depressant.

Basil – has an upbeat fragrance that uplifts the mood and improve alertness.

Lemon – is another mental stimulant that is perfect for those in the workplace to minimise errors and improve focus.

Why Rosenserien?ORGANIC ROSES Daily Treatment From NatureYour skin’s health depends on your daily skin care routine. Many things affect the condition of your skin and its appearance: diet, genetics, age, hormones, exercise, sunshine, working at computers, stress, etc. In order for your skin to feel and function optimally, you need to treat it well. Correct, adequate cleansing is vital for your skin.

Unclean, dirty skin cannot take advantage of what you apply to it, no matter how good the ingredients are. Most people know that ordinary soap dries out the skin and avoid using it on the face, but a surprising number of people think that ordinary water is an adequate cleanser. If you wash your face with water and then take cotton wool with Cleansing Cream and wipe your skin, you will see that water is not enough. It simply doesn’t remove fat soluble substances. During the day your skin is exposed to air pollution and dust, and possibly make up as well. All of this needs to be removed in the evening.
