Today more than ever, it is important to know what we put on our skin, and here we want to urge you to always read the ingredients listed on every product package you purchase very carefully.
It's important precisely because we are now surrounded in our daily lives by artificial foods and materials (e.g., clothes) that increasingly trigger allergies, intolerances, dermatitis, and so on. Therefore, what you use directly on your skin (soaps, creams, makeup, etc.) must receive your utmost attention.
Below, I will list not only the active ingredients to avoid but also the reasons and scientific explanations.
You will understand that underestimating this information can be a real risk to your health!
Parabens:
Chemical substances that can cause contact dermatitis. Some recent studies associate parabens with the pathogenesis of a type of cancer affecting the mammary gland.
Silicones:
Silicones are synthetic silicon-based substances. They can cause a "sauna effect" as they form a layer, preventing both skin and hair from breathing. And they are harmful to the environment.
Petrolatum:
Petrolatum are hydrocarbons produced from petroleum refining. Over time, they also cause occlusion and generate a proliferation of bacterial flora in the epithelial tissue, reducing microbiological balance.
Benzoyl Peroxide:
An antiseptic bactericidal agent. Primarily used in medications and artificial nail products. Benzoyl peroxide (frequently referred to as BP or BPO) has antimicrobial activity against numerous bacteria, especially Propionibacterium acnes, which plays a crucial role in the development of acne.
Following topical application, it is absorbed by the skin where it is metabolized into benzoic acid and subsequently excreted as benzoate in the urine.
It kills everything it finds. The bad and the good on your skin. The adverse side effects it can cause include irritant dermatitis, discoloration of linens, clothes, and hair.
It can cause swelling and blisters on the skin.
Salicylic Acid:
Known as beta hydroxy acid, or BHA, salicylic acid is an exfoliating ingredient capable of penetrating your skin to remove and sweep away everything it encounters.
It can be very irritating to the skin. Some reactions that may occur include hives; itching; difficulty breathing; headache; swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and throat.
Therefore, in cosmetics, it has been replaced by more delicate and natural molecules, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), natural active ingredients derived from fruit.
Now that you know what to avoid when making your purchases, discover the Active Ingredients you should look for on Labels for Your Well-being!
What They Are, What They Do, and How They Work
They exist in nature and help your skin to stay balanced, preventing allergies, rashes, and dermatitis:
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs, fruit acids):
In addition to being excellent natural moisturizers, they also have a keratolytic/exfoliating action that generates an increase in the elasticity and compactness of the epidermis.
Products with ALPHA-HYDROXY ACIDS are not peels, but thanks to naturally gentle exfoliation, they restore skin compactness, provide more radiance, smooth, and promote skin well-being and a healthy and beautiful appearance.
Niacinamide - Vitamin B3:
Well-tolerated by all skin types, it has antioxidant properties and protects against free radicals. Lipid production is stimulated by niacinamide, as is the formation of collagen and elastin.
The result is more elastic, smooth skin and a firmer complexion. It has a regenerating effect on damaged skin. It reduces enlarged pores and prevents irritation.
It significantly reduces impurities, regulates sebum production, and mattifies oily skin.
It has an antibacterial effect and ensures visibly smoother skin.
Niacinamide is a derivative of vitamin B3; by inhibiting melanin synthesis, it is able to make pigment spots and pimples disappear, as well as make the complexion shine again.
Pay attention to high concentrations to avoid unwanted redness. During the first uses, we recommend a concentration of 1-5%.
Hyaluronic Acid:
It is a substance naturally present in our body. It serves to hydrate and protect tissues. It keeps our skin elastic and resilient. Also called "the fountain of youth," it helps fight viruses and bacteria.
It also stimulates the formation of collagen and connective tissues. It is a precious active ingredient. It has anti-inflammatory and healing properties.
It is used to treat acute skin lesions such as erythema, irritations, burns, and minor wounds.
Panthenol – Vitamin B5:
Also known as provitamin B5, Panthenol has a low molecular weight and is able to penetrate the epidermis and metabolize quickly, becoming vitamin B5.
It repairs and soothes, relieves itching and redness, and promotes tissue regeneration. It keeps the skin soft and elastic.
Panthenol is one of those vitamins called water-soluble; they are not accumulated by our body but must be conveyed through diet.
This is where it becomes useful for us to combat acne as a youth phenomenon.
All "junk food" rich in sugars and refined flours are low in Vitamin B5. So we can say that a deficiency of Vitamin B5 can cause acne.
As you will have understood, it is very important to learn to read labels to take care of your skin and, even more, of your face: our business card to the world around us.
And of course, reading labels cannot disregard making the right choices regarding cosmetics and everything you put on your skin and, everywhere, on your body.
And this is our priority and mission because our product collection was created especially for YOU, respecting everything you have read so far.
