Things You Won’t Like About Hypoallergenic Skincare And Things You Will

Hypoallergenic skincare and parabens-free skincare are gaining a lot of popularity these days. But with the availability of a lot of brands, it is important to separate the grain from the chaff. Your vigilance is important if you want to avoid waking up to some rude shocks!

So what truly qualifies as the right hypoallergenic skincare? As a rule of thumb, a true hypoallergenic skincare is the one in which you can literally "eat" the product! Anything less than that cannot really be called hypoallergenic. It means that the ingredients so be 100% natural and safe enough that you can literally consume them without the fear of any side effects.

Even parabens-free skincare products might not be totally hypoallergenic. Even though they do not contain parabens, but they might contain other artificial and synthetic preservatives. Thus, they cannot be called 100% safe for our skin.

Parabens are the favourites of skincare product manufacturers. They are the cheapest preservatives available. Parabens help in giving them fatter profits as they improve the shelf life of their products. But parabens cause a lot of health problems for the consumers.

They interfere in the functioning of the endocrine system. They cause hormonal disruptions and are known to cause cancerous breast tumors! They are found in these forms: ethyl, butyl, methyl, propyl and isobutyl parabens. Avoid them by all means in any skincare products that you use.

The best thing to do for getting the right parabens-free skincare products is to look for those products which contain natural ingredients; as well as only natural preservatives, not synthetic ones. Grape seed oil and natural vitamin E are the best natural preservatives. Besides that, they are extraordinary antioxidants too and make the skin healthy, supple and radiant.

Another test for effective hypoallergenic skincare products is whether they are safe enough to apply on a wound. If the answer to this question is No, then it is not truly the best hypoallergenic skincare product.

Look for cutting edge natural ingredients such as Phytessence Wakame, active Manuka honey and macadamia oil.

Phytessence Wakame is a Japanese sea kelp which is rich in minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and calcium (its calcium content is 15 times more than milk). It revitalizes the skin and makes it young, smooth and creamy complexioned.

Active Manuka honey is sourced from the Manuka bushes in New Zealand. It is rich in active enzymes and is known for its extraordinary antibacterial, antioxidant and healing properties. It makes the skin soft, pliant and beautiful.

Macadamia oil is also called the luxurious oil. It has a composition very similar to the sebum (natural oils of our skin). It performs a deep skin moisturization and heals the skin naturally.

Unfortunately, the local drugstores and department stores do not have true hypoallergenic skincare products with such amazing natural ingredients. These are only manufactured by niche skincare companies which sell their products online.
