How to Go Natural Skin Care Shopping

Let’s face it. If you were sent to go natural skin care shopping would you really know what to look for? The reason that I am asking this question is that many people don’t really know what it is that makes a cosmetics product truly organic. There are numerous products on the market that are advertised as being natural, but the majority of the ingredients they contain are decidedly not.

It is difficult for those without a working knowledge of cosmetics ingredients to tell the difference between organic and synthetic ingredients. The labels on these products fail to give the novice any clues, because all of the ingredients are listed in the International Nomenclature for Cosmetics, which means that everything is called by its scientific title.

This makes natural skin care shopping difficult, because if a product were to contain a specific natural oil it might not clearly say so on the package. There are many cases also where consumers have become convinced that certain ingredients are naturally occurring, when it fact it is man that creates them. So it is with petroleum based moisturizers.

These moisturizing agents, mineral oil, paraffin wax, and petrolatum, are byproducts of crude oil production. They are not qualified to be called natural ingredients, because if man did not possess a need for gasoline, oil, and other such products then petroleum based moisturizers would never have come into existence.

People often become confused while natural skin care shopping when they come across a product containing ingredients such as collagen and elastin. These ingredients are all natural, as they are the connective tissue of animals such as cows, pigs, and chickens. Where we get confused is in believing that these ingredients are going to be effective.

The molecular structure of these animals is different from our own, and so it is impossible for their tissue to mesh with our own. Of course, none of that really matters when you consider the fact that both collagen and elastin are too dense to enable them to pass through our skin. Effective topical collagen and elastin treatments are nothing more than a hoax.

If you want effectiveness you need to ensure that when you go natural skin care shopping that you are buying products containing plant based oils, waxes and extracts. These ingredients can of course be supported by natural proteins and enzymes, which have been clinically proven to cause changes in the skin. An example of such an effective protein is Functional Keratin.

This ingredient may only make up a small portion of the powerful antioxidant Cynergy TK, but the difference that Functional Keratin can make in your appearance is far from insignificant. This compound has been proven to stimulate the production of the special cells necessary for the formation of collagen and elastin. You can eliminate your wrinkles by growing your own new tissue.

Make no mistake about it. Success when natural skin care shopping comes from knowing what to look for, and then recognizing quality when you find it. Get to know the ingredients that will enable you to change the way that your skin looks, and feels. Once you find the right products your life will get a whole lot better.
