That is why I decided to try oil on myself. Let's investigate this popular product.
Clever cover
Modern packing of oil for babies is a reliable and qualitative bottle. Very much I like these "clever covers". In appearance the usual screwing-up lid, and actually – the reliable mechanism which locks a neck. Oil will never spill, with such cover it can be shaken, overturned upside down, to store horizontally. Do with a bottle that you want – the product will not pour out. It is checked! I like such "clever covers", not the first time them meet, and they did not bring me yet.
Works simply: to twist it is necessary (to close) as usual and to open a bottle, it is previously necessary to press on a cover.
For children – the safest products
Children's cosmetics suddenly became incredibly popular. And, not at children, and at adults. The reason is that the ideas of safe and non-toxic structures and also environmentally friendly products became relevant more than ever. Too much recently it is revealed vrednost in cosmetics. That is why children's cosmetics attracts us. For children the least dangerous products are created, it is dictated also by ethics of the producer, and fixed at the legislative level.
It is possible to check safety and naturalness, having analysed structure of a product. Here the list very short, and it will allow to consider everything nearly under a microscope.
Structure: Paraffinum Liquidum, Isopropyl Palmitate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Parfum.
Paraffinum Liquidum is a liquid paraffin, it is also called vaseline oil. In terms of toxicity and carcinogenicity – substance safe. But whether here skin needs it? Vaseline oil creates the film holding moisture on the surface of skin. The film lets in nothing skin, but also does not release. It leads to the hammered time, delay of processes of self-cell renewal. At incidental and single application the effect of mitigation and smoothness of skin of this ingredient will be. But here at prolonged use also undesirable reactions are possible. Liquid paraffin can even be useful to children's skin as protects it from external influence. But its action on adult skin is ambiguous. Naturally, much more the best alternative would be made by any vegetable oil. If for babies it can cause an allergy and excess of necessary vitamin norms, then for adult skin it is much better, than Paraffinum Liquidum. That is why it is not really clear why Johnson and Johnson position the oil both as children's and as adult.
Isopropyl Palmitate – one of the safest softening substances for skin, it it is possible to apply even to skin around eyes. It is instantly absorbed by skin, forms an invisible protective film. Again this film! But this time a time is not hammered with this means.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract is extract of leaves of an aloe. There is a lot of it judging from the fact that ingredient not at the very end of the list. The good moisturizing, antibacterial and calming substance. The necessary ingredient both for infantile, and for adult skin.
Tocopheryl Acetate is synthetic vitamin E. Probably, the real vitamin E more allergenic for children. And tocopherol acetate safe component.
Parfum is a fragrance. It is not really clear why it is necessary for a children's product. Many aromas cause dryness and an allergy.
Whether children's oil is necessary for adult skin?
The producer insists that this oil it is possible to soften and moisturize the skin, and not just infantile. The main argument – at application on moist skin holds this oil up to 10 times more of moisture.It is necessary to apply on skin so: to apply to moist skin, and then to wipe a towel dry. It very much confused me. In what state will a towel there be if to them to wipe an oil film? It should be erased at least at once. Therefore this council was not pleasant to me at all.
Means, it is necessary to wait for absorption of oil in skin. But! It does not occur. Here I apply oil to skin. It is not absorbed. And all because of this notorious protective film. On the surface of skin an oil layer.
The film really very well keeps on skin. If atop to wet skin, then moisture gathers in droplets as though it is not skin, but plastic any more. That is the film really protects from external influence, but also does not allow skin "to breathe"!
My opinion is as follows: this oil for massage, for infantile skin which needs to be protected from external influence just. For these tasks film means is useful. Especially, gentle skin of babies should not be subjected to rough intervention of the environment, it is necessary to protect from friction about clothes, diapers, diapers. And such oil is not suitable for adult skin, especially, if skin fat and inclined to formation of pimples. A time will be hammered, sweat will not evaporate from the surface of skin, skin fat and oils will also remain on a surface – the detox will not occur.
In general, means good and qualitative, smells very pleasantly, texture and packing excellent. But oil should be used only for babies. This my opinion. For adult skin there are more successful humidifiers: vegetable cosmetic oils, lotions, milk, body cream.
