Avoid Petrolatum In Your Moisturizers. Look For Synergy TK.

If you been buying skin care and anti aging products like moisturizing creams and lotions for a long time you've probably heard of petrolatum. You'll see on the labels of most of the bottles. However you've probably never heard of Synergy TK.

Many big brand-name skin care products such as moisturizing creams and lotions contain petrochemical ingredients such as mineral oil and petrolatum. These products are derived from the distillation of crude oil. The reason they are used in most well-known products is that they are very cheap to buy.

Petrolatum is petroleum jelly. It is also known as vaseline. It propels moisture and the principle behind its use, like that of mineral oil, is that it will stop moisture evaporating from the skin by forming a film of moisture repellent oil across the surface of the skin. Neither mineral oil or petrolatum are moisturizers themselves, they are just intended to stop moisture loss.

Sadly petrolatum and mineral oil are both linked to a range of health problems including the formation of breast cancer. Petrolatum is banned in Europe in such products but it is still legal in skin care and anti aging products and cosmetics and others in the US.

The best natural skin care products in the world do not used any petrochemical products but rather use any ingredient called Synergy TK. This is a natural ingredient made from the wool of sheep. It is patented and highly expensive and it contains a type of keratin that is very important to maintaining levels of collagen your skin. This keeps your skin healthy and healthy skin is well moisturized skin.

Synergy TK is completely safe to use and works, in conjunction with a range of other natural moisturizers such as jojoba oil and Shea butter, as an extremely effective ingredient at promoting optimum skin health. Effective moisturizing can only be achieved in healthy skin.

Very few skin care products contain Synergy TK. The reason for that is that most of the big companies try to minimise the cost of ingredients in their products and maximise the marketing budget to spend on such things as TV advertising.

However it is possible to buy natural skin care products which contain Synergy TK and which work exceedingly well and at a price that is extremely competitive with the big brands. This is because the company that makes these products does not spend any money on marketing but pours it's money into product quality.

So if you're using moisturizers that contain such ingredients as petrolatum or mineral oil avoid them. They may be bad for your health, and they don't work very well.
