4 ingredients of cosmetics which you should not take in the 21st century

The cosmetic market – one of the most innovative. Formulas of cosmetics are improved and change constantly. And it occurs even quicker, than change of new models of smartphones or cars. Shampoos or powders from the 2000th – already are outdated.

And in vain we think that we should live constantly with preservatives or silicones. Cosmetics of 21 centuries, most likely, will get rid of much that we have now. Such "pillars" should move even as sulfates, wax, emulsifiers. Now we think that without them it is impossible to create worthy shampoo or gel. But life goes forward. And, most likely, very soon, we will be able to enjoy novelties without these four ingredients:

1. Lauretsulfat of sodium.
This ingredient is a part of very large number of means for byyuti-leaving: shampoos, shower gels, face foams, toothpaste. Producers like excellent foam SLS properties and low price. Lauretsulfat of sodium – one of the cheapest surfactant. That is why it is so difficult to producers to pass to less harmful alternatives.

But in products of the future of lauretsulfat should not be. These SLS irritate the skin of people, and are the reason of oral and perokulyarny dermatitis. These states are characterized by reddenings, peeling and a nagrubaniye of skin around a mouth, on centuries and around a nose.

Shampoos without sulfates are more expensive, they are made by still mainly luxury organic brands. So, available shampoos without SLS – business of the future.


Council: make a choice towards laurylsulphate, it is less toxic ingredient in comparison with lauretsulfaty.

2. Citrus essential oils.
Did you sometime hear about such phenomenon as "phytophotodermatitis"? It is reaction of skin which arises when using citrus oils on skin for a long time and under the influence of sunlight. It is shown in the form of redness, pimples and sometimes even hems on skin.

Oils of a lemon, lime, grapefruit and other fruit possess excellent smells and therefore cosmetologists could not bypass them when made a compounding for means with effect of an aromatherapy. But, unfortunately the side effect in the form of phytophotodermatitis is a little considered. Only sometimes it is possible to see in structure along with citrus oils the calming ingredients.

Generally, citrus oils – not the really necessary ingredient for face skin, especially if long to leave them on skin.


3. Voski-emulgatory.
The emulsifying wax is a solid substance which is used to create dense cream texture of cosmetic. But, unfortunately, not such it is harmless. Apply such term as "ethoxylated" to it that means the content of carcinogens. And carcinogens, as we know, are one of the reasons of cancer diseases.

It would be good if the cosmetic industry found safer alternative to the emulsifying ingredients, such as various "PEG", ingredients with the termination "eth" or with figure on the end somewhat quicker.


4. Fragrances.
The synthetic fragrances (which are often disappearing under Parfum ingredient) – can become nutrient medium for such dangerous components as oil products, phthalates, benzene.

For very large number of people synthetic fragrances are the trigger for allergic reactions, headaches and decline in production of work. Say even that synthetic fragrances can influence a hormonal background. Much less often similar symptoms are observed when using natural fragrances, such as essential oils.


The most interesting that cosmetics without these 4 ingredients already exists. It is produced by brands of organic cosmetics. And still – all this our house alternatives which we sometimes do. And as for the budgetary brands of a massmarket, they so far on the way to safe and organic means.
