This contains alcohol,
is irritating to the skin, so it should not be used!
This is added with preservatives,
is not natural and gentle at all, don't let it go!
And this,
taste, color,
a look at the flavors, coloring agents out of tune,
deceive the consumer By!
I hear more and more words like this, which means that the child knows how to consider the ingredients of skin care products when he is older. It is not just blindly following the trend, which is a good thing~
Nitrogen should not be too alarmist. If you keep staring at the alcohol preservatives in the ingredient list all day long, you will feel that you will ruin your face as soon as you use it.The existence of others is also very valuable!
or you can check it on some apps that can view the ingredient list, Many big-name skin care products also contain ingredients such as alcohol, preservatives, and fragrance _strong79, _strong79, Will they smash their own signs, right?
The No. 1 contestant alcohol
should be the most "rotten face of alcohol" among all the "rotten alcohol" ingredients. Meaning, but many people call it heinous, causing many sisters who just started to avoid it, and the criticism continues to be persecuted.
But the fact is that most of the lotion , whether it is a first-line brand or a niche brand, contains alcohol. (The difference lies in the content of the ingredients)
Is it spicy? Let's first rectify the name of alcohol and talk about its advantages. After all, in skin care products, alcohol is still very useful.
The first is as a solvent ,Because some raw materials are neither soluble in water nor soluble in oil, they must be dissolved in alcohol with the help of alcohol.
The second is as a penetration enhancer . Alcohol can quickly penetrate the stratum corneum, so it can pass through the stratum corneum with some active ingredients to better promote the absorption of skin care products.
The third is to have a slight antibacterial effect .
fourth can be used as an astringent and refreshing agent , For oily skin, alcohol can provide a very good skin feel, and it can also reduce the shine, but it can’t inhibit the shine. Oil secretion.
In terms of irritation, Alcohol is indeed irritating, but only high-concentration alcohol _strong 79 _strong 79 . The alcohol added in conventional skin care products is within the normal range. If the skin is healthy and there are no wounds, you can hardly feel it; and if there is a damaged barrier or the skin has small wounds, using alcohol-based skin care products can indeed feel "spicy" "Spicy" is a slight tingling, but the damage to the skin is actually very, very small.So everyone really doesn't need to talk about alcohol discoloration!
Of course, if you have sensitive skin or are allergic to alcohol, then please stay away from alcohol, don't make it casually.
of course can’t be overused, because it is a double-edged sword. The other side of unclogging pores and removing cuticles is (possibly) hurting our skin barrier .
No. 2 contestant preservative
_span_strong is the preservative in strong
_span_strong span_strong
_span_strong.
This is to control the proliferation of microorganisms and extend the shelf life of the product reasonably. Without preservatives, many skin care products will not last a few months .
If there are no preservatives, the nutrients in skin care products are equivalent to bacterial culture dishes. Every time we touch it with our hands,It is equivalent to inoculating bacteria invisibly. Therefore, the use of preservatives is not only to protect the product, but also to protect our skin.
In this case, are products claiming "0 preservatives" credible?
really! Some products can indeed be preservative-free, such as moisture-free pure oil skin care products (not easy to breed microorganisms), capsule products and ampoule (small quantity, tight packaging, short shelf life) and so on.
In addition, other products on the market that claim "preservative-free" may be rubbing the edge ball, referring to "there are no preservatives included in the Cosmetic Hygiene Code, but added Other anti-corrosion ingredients" products . In other words, these products still contain anti-corrosion ingredients, but they are just "non-staff" ingredients.
In fact, in my country's health regulations, there are clear regulations on the types and concentrations of preservatives used in cosmetics. So as long as it is a regular product and the amount of preservatives used is within the specified range, there is generally no problem.
No. 3 contestant essence
is suspected to be harmful.The flavor itself is a mixture, composed of a variety of flavors and additives (such as solvents, carriers, antioxidants, emulsifiers, etc.). Adding flavors to skin care products is a normal thing, just like adding cinnamon and star anise when cooking. There are thousands of flavors and fragrances, is allowed to be undisclosed by law, ( is a secret recipe for many big-name premium fragrances)
is a fragrance of . Main allergens, so why are brands still happy to add flavors?
That is because some raw materials in skin care products are really unpleasant. The same product with or without spices, and with what flavor of spices, often decide whether consumers will pay for it or not _strong79 . Moreover, people are sensory animals, and the fragrance will increase the product experience and make people feel happy.
In addition, the International Perfumery Association stipulates the use range of safe fragrances, which are generally followed by regular major brands. The European Union also lists some fragrance ingredients that may be allergens. If skin care products add these Spices are all marked, so you can use them with confidence~
So which fairies want to say goodbye to the essence? After allergy testing, fairies who are allergic to aromatic compounds; cute little ones in the barrier-damaged stage,For example, dermatitis and skin after medical treatment should be avoided.
Are non-irritating ingredients really not irritating to the skin?
The "non-irritating ingredients" promoted by merchants mostly refer to the absence of common allergens such as alcohol and flavors. But everyone's allergens are different. Even if you do not add these alcohols and flavors, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be allergic to other ingredients .
So Xiao Cuihua suggests that if you see products that claim to be "no irritating ingredients", don't rush to start, you can do a behind-the-ear test.
Summary: No additives and no preservatives are not necessarily synonymous with safety and high quality; products without irritating ingredients may not necessarily be non-irritating to the skin. I hope everyone will not talk about alcohol, flavors, preservatives and other ingredients. , After all, mature product formulators have to go through multiple proofing tests. As long as it is a prescribed formula, there is no safety What a big problem.
Of course if you are allergic to certain ingredients,Then these XXX-free products may be more meaningful to you. But if your skin is very healthy and normal, then there is really no need for you to blindly pursue XXX-free products.
