Ingredients that can be harmful to your skin

The main reason to use herbal natural skin care cosmetics is that so many products these days contain ingredients that can be harmful to your skin. Some creams and lotions have been found to contain ingredients that are potentially harmful to your skin, such as mineral oil, fragrances and parabens. These ingredients are all harmful to your skin in some way.

Mineral oil is mostly used because it is one of the cheapest additive on the market. It will make your skin feel soft. But natural skin care oils will not contain any type of mineral oil, as it will clog your pores, which can lead to acne breakouts.

Fragrances are usually added to give the cream a pleasant smell. However, fragrances are often associated to skin irritations and allergic reactions.

The worst of the lot are parabens. They are preservatives that are added to give the product a longer shelf life. This means it will stay on the store shelf until someone actually buys it. The problem is parabens have been found in the breast tissue of women suffering from breast cancer. Although, it is inconclusive as to whether the parabens caused the cancer. It is still advisable to avoid any product that contains this potential carcinogen.
