Hypoallergenic Skincare - what exactly does it mean? Let's take a closer look at the word - Hypoallergenic skincare. Hypo is a Greek prefix meaning "below normal", when used with allergic it means a product that does not cause allergy.
Today's world is full of products comprising of ingredients that can cause allergies and other skin related problems. For example most skincare companies try to make their products fragrant. This is very harmful to skin because fragrances are nothing but combination of chemicals that can lead to allergies.
Skincare companies also use Parabens as preservatives to increase the shelf life of their products. Parabens are used in weed killers and are potential carcinogenic substances. Do you know that European Union has banned the use of Parabens in skincare products long time ago?
Other most common harmful ingredient that most companies use is Mineral oil - it's a gasoline by-product. Companies use it as a moisturizer base. It is supposed to lock the natural moisture but actually it stops your skin from breathing and getting rid of harmful internal toxins.
Hypoallergenic skincare comprises of fragrance free and paraben-free skincare i.e. products that are odorless and made using natural ingredients without any trace of parabens. They use effective Ingredients like:
Grapeseed Oil It is a powerful antioxidant that retains the natural skin moisture by creating a protective film on your skin. This oil is very effective in reducing wrinkles and stretch marks on the skin.
Crodamol OP It is a light emollient that helps in making skin soft and smooth Its small molecules do not block the skin pores making the skin suppler.
Natural vitamin E (Alpha-tocopherol ) It is a natural antioxidant, known to reverse the effects of aging on the skin.
This is not all - there is a huge list of ingredients that are used in hypoallergenic skincare. You need to get out there on the internet and find out companies who manufacture paraben-free skincare products.
In the end I urge you not to fall in trap of glossy TV commercials who try to lure you with fragrances and beautiful models. When it comes to skin care trust only you and take your own decision.
