Cosmetic Ingredient Safety - Part Four

Here is the complete skin care safety article.



Skincare Lines for Sensitive Skins

There are several skincare lines that cater to people with very sensitive skins or those who are concerned about the inclusion of particular ingredients like dyes and fragrances. Unfortunately, there are only a few that have developed anti-aging and age-reversing lines.



Arbonne is one of the best-known. Arbonne uses no artificial dyes or fragrances (in non-fragrance products), no animal by-products, no mineral oil and does not use animal testing. The prices are on the high side because of the multi-level marketing sales force which the company employs; but you can get around that by signing up as a distributor. Arbonne allows people to sign up just to get their own products at 35% off retail. I think they’ve found that many of these people start supplying friends and relatives and end up becoming distributors and making a business for themselves.



Another such skincare line that I am just beginning to look into is made by Revitol. Revitol has been a supplier of herbal supplements for 15 years. More recently they have expanded into skincare. Their stated goal is, “to provide retailers and vendors with the finest quality supplements ever made at wholesale prices barely above our manufacturing costs”.



It seems they have extended this goal to their anti-aging skincare line because the prices are very reasonable, yet the products contain some of the finest, most advanced ingredients found in higher priced brands. I will put up a full review of Revitol’s anti-aging skincare line as soon as possible.



The Bottom Line on Skin Care Safety

You stated that "If it means my health over a wrinkle, I would rather have my health." In my opinion, skin care and cosmetics products should never be the cause for concern.



So, if the use of skin care products causes you to worry about your health, don't use them. It is not worth it for you and that is a perfectly sensible conclusion for you to reach.
