Face creams without harmful additives

Face creams without harmful additives contain a maximum of natural ingredients. Sometimes women prepare such products personally, according to their own recipes. But the cosmetics industry does not lag behind consumer demand and produces more and more organic products that meet the criteria of naturalness. It is precisely such cosmetics that best preserve youth and beauty.

Face creams without parabens

Parabens are chemical substances, although they are present in oak bark, blackberries, lingonberries, and blueberries. However, the vast majority of parabens used in cosmetology are synthetic. They are formed from para-oxybenzoic acid.

Why are parabens so popular? The fact is that they have a detrimental effect on fungi and microorganisms, that is, they have preservative properties, and this is of great interest to such areas as the food industry, pharmacy, and cosmetology. With the help of parabens, manufacturers of food products, medicines, and cosmetics prolong the shelf life of their products for a long time, which without the use of preservatives quickly spoil, bringing losses instead of profits.

The main harm of synthetic preservatives is their carcinogenicity and allergenicity, which is why their quantity is limited by European standards.

As an alternative, brands that want to lead the market are releasing organic products. In paraben-free face creams, they are replaced with plant-based preservatives, which include:

• vitamins E and C;
• propolis;
• oak, birch, pine bark;
• seaweed;
• extract of grapefruit, birch leaves and bird cherry;
• eucalyptus and tea tree oils.

These substances provide a two-year shelf life for face creams without harmful additives.

The Natura Siberica brand produces 95% natural creams, the quality of which is confirmed by laboratory tests.

• Day cream "Moisturizing and protection"

Contains lavender water, rice powder, shea butter, apricot, jojoba. The cream is quickly absorbed, softens, soothes, moisturizes, nourishes the skin, provides elasticity and matting.

The product is intended for women over 18. The advantages are that the cream combines at least three factors: naturalness, efficiency and safety. They note its economy, pleasant consistency, efficiency for dry and sensitive skin.

The disadvantages include the high cost; some people don’t like the smell and the feeling of the film on the skin.

• Cream concentrate for the first signs of aging

Contains northern black caviar extract, 3D collagen, polypeptide, hyaluronic and ferulic acids, etc. These components activate cell renewal, smooth out expression wrinkles, improve tone and protective properties of the skin.

The cream is designed for women over 25. Advantages - active components provide action in four directions: replenishment of energy and water balance, enhanced hydration and nutrition.

Disadvantages are not described.

• "For sensitive skin" with Rhodiola rosea

Contains Rhodiola rosea, vitamin P, allantoin, hyaluronic acid, lemon balm and chamomile extracts, SPF-20. The cream has a moisturizing, soothing, softening, protective, anti-inflammatory, strengthening effect.

The disadvantage of the cream is some deterioration in quality, compared to previous samples, noted by consumers. This applies to products manufactured in another country.

Natural biocosmetics for sensitive and allergy-prone skin are produced by LOGONA Germany. The British company REN produces noteworthy cosmetics without parabens and other synthetic components. One of the leaders in organic cosmetics is also the Dr. Hauschka brand.

Silicone Free Face Creams

Silicone is extracted from sand using chemical transformations. It has gained popularity among industrial cosmetologists as a component that makes products flexible, durable, and convenient to use. Silicone consistency is very delicate, facilitates easy absorption, without stickiness on the skin surface.

When using cosmetics with silicone in hair, a film remains on the skin, which prevents it from breathing and absorbing the necessary microelements. Accumulating, silicone clogs skin pores and provokes comedones.

Face creams without harmful additives, namely without silicones, are produced by many companies that want to eliminate these shortcomings.

• The Modum brand offers a wonderful cream called “Sakura Branch”

Recommended for daily care as a universal rejuvenating product.

"Sakura Branch" contains extracts of the flowers of the tree of the same name and ginseng, which are active antioxidants. The substances eliminate toxins, regulate cellular renewal, eliminate "cobwebs" around the eyes and lips. Nutrient components support cell membranes and intercellular structure, due to which the natural elasticity of the skin increases. The face becomes even, smooth, and resistant to adverse external influences.

The cream is useful for women over 35. Clients appreciate the remarkable quality of "Vetka": when applied twice, the product acts on the skin almost around the clock.

The disadvantages include the smell; it disappoints those who, instead of the aroma of the sacred Japanese tree, feel a cucumber aroma or a chemically sharp jasmine.

Disadvantages: none found.

Face cream without glycerin

Glycerin is widely used in medicine, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. It is a colorless viscous substance of liquid consistency. Glycerin is obtained in two ways - from plant materials or by synthesis.

Cosmetologists use glycerin due to its moisturizing properties, that is, hygroscopicity: it attracts tenfold amount of moisture and retains it for quite a long time.

However, in reality, this property is a double-edged sword. The fact is that glycerin "doesn't care" where to get water from. Therefore, at low air humidity, the substance begins to take moisture from the skin, so instead of additional moisturizing, it dries it out. To prevent this from happening, the amount of glycerin in the cream should be moderate (optimally 7%). But usually companies do not declassify their recipes, so the concentration of a particular ingredient is judged by its place in the list: the higher it is, the more substance there is.

• Glycerin-free face cream "Olive oil, red grape" is classified as an organic product

Created on the basis of olive oil, with the addition of grape, lemon, lavender, sea buckthorn and rose water extracts. Moisturizes deep layers, has antiseptic and healing effects, acts as an antioxidant.

The disadvantage of the cream is its relatively high price.

The advantages of face creams without harmful additives are naturalness, excellent moisturizing and nourishing properties, delicate consistency, thanks to which the creams are absorbed without residue or greasy film.

The only disadvantage that can be considered is the price, however, natural cosmetic products made in this way are not cheap a priori.

Another source of living organic cosmetics are preparations from Greece, the creators of which used ancient recipes of phyto- and aromatherapy. Modern specialists have created eight product lines for all occasions, including for skin with special needs, as well as a men's line "restoration and balance".

Greek cosmetics contain essential and natural oils, plant extracts, vitamins in specially selected proportions. Infusions of ecologically clean herbs growing on the fabulous island of Crete replace ordinary water. It is no coincidence that the lines are named after mythical goddesses and gods (Hera, Athena, Artemis, Demeter, Hermes, Zeus).

Alcohol free face cream

Alcohol in cosmetics is designated by the word alcogol. Alcohols come in different types, and they also act on the skin in different ways.

Regular ethyl alcohol for organic products is obtained from wheat, sugar cane, grapes. A group of fatty alcohols is also used (the most common are cetyl, cetearyl), which are produced from palm or coconut oil. They act as thickeners, so in recipes they are considered technical ingredients.

Cosmetologists and pharmacists use denatured (with a toxic effect), aromatic (essential oil components), propylene (petrochemical products) alcohols. The latter are best avoided.

In short, alcohols have their pros and cons. When choosing cosmetics, you can't be blindly afraid of this word. It's better to understand the composition correctly, giving preference to face creams without harmful additives.

Chemical-free face cream

Chemical-free face creams are every woman's dream, but unfortunately, in modern industrial cosmetology it is practically impossible to achieve. For such simple reasons:

• firstly, the completely natural cream is poorly absorbed and leaves a shiny surface on the face;
• secondly, depending on the composition, it may have an unpleasant odor;
• thirdly, without preservatives it spoils quickly.

However, this does not mean that there is no way out. Some women resort to recipes that can be made at home. After all, homemade face creams without harmful additives can be prepared as needed, in small portions, and always used fresh.

Industrial production requires a reasonable combination of natural and synthetic components. Since high-quality products are impossible without emulsifiers, emollients, preservative ingredients, the main thing is that these additives are safe for health - non-allergenic, non-toxic.

According to experts, in cosmetic production it is possible to do without smell and color, that is, dyes, flavors, fragrances. Moreover, it is these components, which give an attractive marketable appearance, that most often provoke allergic reactions.

It should be kept in mind, however, that natural substances have their own smell and shade, and this, accordingly, is reflected in the appearance and aroma of organic cosmetics. But, as a rule, these are mild aromas and pastel colors.

The general rule when choosing cosmetics is to focus on the composition. If the chemical components are located at the end of the list, it means that their concentration is low or completely negligible, so they do not pose a danger to human skin, nails, hair.

Lanolin Free Face Cream

Lanolin is a viscous fatty substance, almost identical in composition to human sebum. It is obtained by purifying fat from sheep wool. Cosmetologists use purified anhydrous lanolin, which has excellent properties: it nourishes, softens and moisturizes, protects from the external environment, and retains a large amount of moisture in the skin.

However, it is not recommended to use lanolin in its pure form. What properties have an adverse effect on the skin?

Lanolin forms a film on the skin that stops metabolism and the removal of by-products. The film glues together dead cells, prevents the skin from breathing, and clogs pores. It is also an allergen, so the skin becomes inflamed, reddens, peels, and then gradually loses moisture and fades.

It is because of its harmful properties that baby creams should not contain lanolin. Some women take advantage of this and use the product for babies as a face cream without harmful additives.

What kind of lanolin-free face creams does adult cosmetics offer?
