Comparing and trying the multitude of skin care products on the market is nearly impossible. You will find that many of the products are designed as such that it is difficult to distinguish between those that are natural, organic, or simply have nice packaging designed to look organic. Many packages will lead you into the false conclusion that the ingredients inside are all natural, herbal, gentle and safe for the skin. In reality that maybe far from the truth. With that said, the best all natural skin care products contain natural and or herbal ingredients helping to reduce irritation to your skin. Be aware, some products might also contain carcinogens, which can cause skin cancers. Lack of regulations in the industry might be the reason for the lack of consistency in skin care products which at times borders on overt fraud.
Obagi and PERSONA products are two of the best on the market.
For other products here's a quick guide on how to read the label to help you distinguish between the best and the rest:
- Go through the product ingredients. If ingredients are not mentioned or contained in the packaging then the product is in violation of FDA regulations. Needless to say, if that is the case skip that product and move on. In most cases, the ingredient names are in small print where unfortunately sometimes you would require a magnifying glass to go through it.
- You might not know about the ingredients printed on the label of the herbal product. Get the help of chemist if that is the case. Before going for the product you must know if the ingredients present are safe, untested, harmful or questionable.
- Some products contain "parabens", which may cause problems for individuals with certain allergies. Parabens are known to cause disruption in the endocrine system, which is responsible for hormonal balance in the body. Parabens could also cause allergic reactions which could even prove fatal for your skin.
- Reject the products which contain amines. This ingredient in particular is responsible for cancer.
- Reject products which contain talc. Talc is commonly found in talcum or baby powders. If the talc is combined with asbestiform fibers, it becomes carcinogenic (ingredient which causes cancer).
- Products that contain fragrance should be brought with proper caution. Often the ingredients of a fragrance are not disclosed on the label and these could contain 100's of chemicals in which some might be hazardous to your skin. The ingredients present in the fragrance could be carcinogenic.
- If the label of the product says "and other ingredients", be aware as these might be the ingredients which could be very questionable and manufacturer is not willing to divulge the name to public.
- Chemical preservatives are other nuisance of herbal products. These may cause contact dermatitis or local irritation.
