There is an informative source for an anti aging skin care review that is really useful. There is also a new movement geared towards safer cosmetics. Of course, the best anti aging skin care system will be a part of that movement.

In the U S, the cosmetic companies can get away with almost anything. The Food and Drug Administration allows them to use almost any ingredient in their cosmetics, if not for a few ones. And apparently, the reason for these few exceptions is a concern about the factory’s labor force.

No one seemed concerned about the effects on the consumer’s health. But, now an online database for cosmetic and anti aging skin care review actually lists the ingredients and rates products according to safety.

It’s a free service called Skin Deep. They ask you to sign up for their newsletter and of course they are a non-profit organization, so they accept donations. But, you can freely search for an anti aging skin care system by name. Or you can search by category and products will be listed from safest, to most hazardous.

You’ll be surprised how many products fall in the hazardous category. For instance, did you know that your lipstick may contain lead, a toxic metal that causes brain damage, neurological problems and birth defects?

Thirty three different brands were tested and 61% contained lead. Companies that you may count on for safety, like L’Oreal, Cover Girl and Christian Dior tested positive. This is a very serious health threat, but the cosmetic companies say it is safe.

Some ingredients are not hazardous but they should not be included in an anti aging skin care system, even though they are not hazardous. For instance, the use of paraffin as a “lip plumper”, in the customer review that I scanned, it was the wrong ingredient to include because mineral oil byproducts and paraffin interfere with the skin rejuvenation process.

The customer that wrote the anti aging skin care review said that the product was ineffective, but even if it had worked, it would have been counterproductive. The long term effect would have been dryer, more damaged looking lips.

How about the Avon anti aging skin care system? That has to be safe, right? I looked at the ingredients in Avon’s Ultimate transforming cream. The first thing that I noticed was titanium dioxide, a sunscreen that has recently been listed as possibly carcinogenic.

The anti aging skin care review at Skin Deep rates the Avon anti aging skin care system as extremely hazardous. The compounds included in the product are known to cause developmental and reproductive toxicity. Other ingredients in the product are neurotoxins, endocrine disruptors and irritants.

The product is “enhanced” so that it is easily absorbed into the skin’s layers. This creates additional problems, because it can enter the bloodstream more easily than other cosmetics. So, the risks are increased.

Strangely, I didn’t see anything in the ingredients that might be beneficial except vitamin A, and that’s not the most beneficial vitamin for the skin. There are effective products out there, but you probably will not find an “anti aging skin care review” that mentions them, because they are not heavily advertised. But, if you take the time to look for them, I know you’ll be pleased.
