Clean Beauty: Safe Vs Toxic Ingredients

Learn about harmful and beneficial ingredients in your beauty products. Your skin will thrive and truly thank you. List of top 4 most toxic and safe ingredients to look for when selecting a cream

Choosing skin care products nowadays can be quite tricky. With so many different options at our disposal and the marketing convincing us that their product is the best and most effective option, it can quickly become overwhelming for most consumers.

In addition, in the last couple years, we have become much more aware and cautious with the type of ingredients found in our products. This, for many, adds an extra step to their decision-making process and makes selecting a product much more time-consuming and difficult.

It can be grueling to navigate and truly understand the long list of ingredients on most cosmetic labels. One rule that experts have often expressed is: because it is sold on the shelf does not make it safe. In fact, according to the FDA website, although companies have a responsibility for the safety of their product, cosmetic products do not require FDA approval before making it on the market. Therefore, many harmful ingredients such as parabens, phthalates, and sulfates may be present in your beauty products and constantly absorbed daily by your skin.

To help you decipher the ingredient list of your next beauty product purchase, we’ve identified what toxic ingredients you should avoid, and which ones are considered clean and safe. This short but insightful guide will hopefully make your ingredient search and analysis much simpler.

Toxic Ingredients to Avoid

Parabens: Parabens are preservatives in skin care that are often found in the form of methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethyl paraben. This chemical can harm reproductive organs and affect fertility by disrupting hormones.

Phthalates: Phthalates are a family of chemicals that also have profound negative effects on the reproductive system as well as trigger organ toxicity for the liver and kidneys. There is also a link between phthalates and asthma. But it is mostly associated with disruption of the hormone endocrine which leads to neurodevelopmental problems for unborn infants.

Sulfates: Sulfates are often found in beauty products and cause frequent skin irritation.

Fragrances: We often choose our beauty products such as cream and shower gel based on the smell they emit. However, we should be avoiding these fragrances. Synthetics fragrances have been shown to produce skin allergic reactions, rashes, skin irritation and even headaches.

Clean and Safe Ingredients

Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is effective for both dry and oily skin and does a great job at properly moisturizing. It is also powerful at reducing wrinkles and fine lines and activates tissue regeneration which helps heal wounds.

Retinol: Retinol is a jack-of-all-trades. This vitamin A, like Hyaluronic Acid, also reduces wrinkles and fine lines but also boosts collagen production. It works as an antioxidant which, studies have shown, can reverse the effects of sun damage.

Argan Oil: Argan oil is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory oil that promotes skin healing and effectively moisturizes skin. It is a plant oil that also reduces the appearance of wrinkles and also stretch marks.

Vitamin C: Vitamin C, like Argan oil, is also an antioxidant that promotes UV protection and protects skin cells from damage. It also plays an important role in collagen production and evening skin tone. It is important to note that any vitamin found in skin care products, especially vitamin C, are safe ingredients that are necessary for the proper functioning of the body.
