Aunt Odie Organic Skin Care Products

There’s a reason to go organic when it comes to your skin care. Many, if not most moisturizers and skin creams, contain ingredients that are truly harmful to your skin. If your skin is sensitive or if you’re worried about breaking out when using a cream, then you need to understand what your skin creams should NOT have.

#1 – Mineral Oil

Mineral oil isvused in hundreds of skin care products. Mineral oil is also known as petrolatum, liquid paraffin, and paraffin wax on the label.

It is used in skin care products for one reason… it’s incredibly cheap, so the companies that use it make more money!

But guess what… mineral oil causes your skin suffocates, clogging your pores.

It disrupts your body’s ability to get rid of toxins, and can lead to serious acne flare-ups. Mineral oil also irritates your skin if you use it for a prolonged period of time.

Your skin can also become dependent on it, which can lead to chapping and dry skin. Last, but not least, it can cause your skin to age faster. Isn’t it amazing that this substance is even allowed in skin care products at all?

#2 – Fragrances

Fragrances can smell nice, but your skin care products shouldn’t contain any fragrances at all.

Why? Many fragrances are made from ingredients that are toxic or carcinogenic, and who wants that on your skin??

Your skin is the largest organ of your body, so you have to remember that anything you put on it will be absorbed into your body. You don’t want dangerous fragrance chemicals to be absorbed by your body.

#3 – Dioxane

Dioxane is a synthetic derivative of coconut. It is widely used in skin care products. You will find that it usually contains high concentrations of 1,4-dioxane, which is easily absorbed by your skin.

1,4-dioxane is considered by the state of California to cause cancer. Avoid it.

#4 – Parabens

There are many different kinds of parabens, they are butyl, ethyl, propyl, and methyl paraben. Many lotions, creams, and moisturizers use parabens as a preservative, so their products can have a longer shelf life.

The reason they use parabens is purely for economical reasons. Recent studies suggest that parabens may cause cancer and interfere with your body’s endocrine system. On top of that they may also cause allergic reactions and skin rashes.

#5 – Alcohols

The different alcohols you’ll find are ethanol, ethyl alcohol, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, and SD alcohol. These alcohols dry and irritate your skin.

They strip away your skin’s natural acid mantle, making you more susceptible to bacteria, moulds and viruses.
