If you're interested in good skin care you're probably looking for the best moisturiser you can get. If so you will be interested to learn a bit more about the sorts of ingredients that go into many mainstream moisturizing creams and the ingredients to look for in the best moisturizing lotions.

Sadly many big brand skin care products, and other personal and beauty products such as cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, baby products, deodorants and much more, contain many synthetic chemical and petrochemical ingredients. The reason for this is simple. They are normally extremely cheap.

Moisturizing lotions are a fine example. Look at the label of most moisturizing creams and lotions and you will see mineral oil there. Mineral oil is a byproduct the distillation of crude oil. It is a petrochemical product and is in fact a waste product.

Mineral oil exceedingly cheap, in fact it costs less to buy it than it does to dispose of it. Mineral oil is used in a wide range of personal products, and many baby products, however it is not an effective moisturizer and is not safe to apply to your skin.

Here is a quote from a mineral oil material safety data sheet:

WARNING! HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID AND VAPOR.

If you visit the Cosmetic Safety Database you'll find that it links mineral oil to immunotoxicity, cancer, skin allergies, skin irritation and organ toxicity.

Mineral oil is used in moisturizers that help prevent moisture loss. Mineral oil forms a thin film of oil across the skin and this is intended to help prevent moisture loss from the skin. And to some extent it does. But at what price to your skin and to your health?

Mineral oil clogs the pores of your skin and can produce skin reactions such as acne and psoriasis.

If you're looking for the best face moisturizer it is important to avoid any mainstream skin care product with mineral oil listed on the label. The worlds best moisturizer creams do not contain mineral oil.

There is a 2nd chemical ingredient that you should avoid which is parabens. Parabens are a class as preservatives. Sodium Methylparaben is an example. At the Cosmetic Safety Database it is linked to organ system toxicity, biochemical or cellular level changes, neurotoxicity, endocrine disruption and allergies.

Avoid personal products with parabens listed on the label.

There's so many other chemical ingredients to avoid that there are too many to list.

So now you know what to avoid when looking at the best moisturizer. But what you look for?

There are in fact many naturally occurring ingredients that can be used in top quality moisturizing products and skin care and anti aging products in general that work exceptionally well as moisturizers and which are also safe to your skin and your body.

Japanese women have the worlds best skin and it has now been confirmed by science that Phytessence Wakame is packed with a wide range of minerals, vitamins and anti oxidants essential to skin health.

One company that makes the worlds best moisturizer does not make a moisturizer. That's because there entire range in care products all use the same natural ingredients as I have mentioned above and so they do not need to produce a moisturizer. All their products moisturize equally successfully.
