Are Hypoallergenic Skin Care Products And Non Comedogenic Skin Care Products A Con?
Anyone who’s had an allergic reaction to anti aging skin care products would be forgiven for looking for hypoallergenic skin care products. Similarly anyone who’s had their acne exacerbated by modern skin care products would also be forgiven for looking for non comedogenic anti aging products.
The reason for this is that almost all anti aging skin care products contain petrochemical and chemical ingredients that have health implications and can produce allergies and skin reactions in many people and they can also contain ingredients such as mineral oil which clogs pores and leads to 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.
This is because the FDA is not required to examine any claims made on the labels of anti aging skin care products. The industry is entirely self regulated and as a result there is no requirement that any manufacturer prove any claims that it makes on the labels of its products.
As you can see there are strong reasons to look for hypoallergenic skin care products and non comedogenic skin care products but there are also good reasons to be extremely suspicious and it’s not likely that products that you see labelled like this are in reality either hypoallergenic or non comedogenic. Many such labeled products still contain the same chemical ingredients that you should be avoiding.
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 that do this, one in particular that evidences a powerful corporate philosophy of commitment to using only safe and effective natural ingredients in it’s high quality natural skin care range. These ingredients do not produce acne or allergies. And this company has signed the compact on the website of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics which publicly evidences this commitment.
And there are also companies, again one in particular, that strive to make it clear on their website that the safety of all of their products is superior to all other considerations.
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 you need to go beyond the claims made on the label and look behind the corporate philosophy of the company that makes the products to find a dedication to making safe products before all else.
And you would usually find that a company with such a stated commitment to product safety makes equally effective skin care products as well.
