They are everywhere! What am I talking about ? Parabens! They are practically in every personal care product both for men skin care products and also women's that you care to pick up in the shopping mall. It does not matter whether it is a facial cleanser, a sunscreen or just your plain old moisturizer. They are still lurking there.
Let me introduce you to these protagonists which were introduced way back in the 1920’s as a way to preserve any skin cream or moisturizer from becoming mouldy and from becoming rancid.
They do a great job. So much so, that they have never been substituted with anything else, at least by the mainstream cosmetic companies.
These parabens go by various names but they are always there! They are butylparaben, methylparaben and propylparaben. They are known to be highly toxic and can cause allergies and other diseases. They also tend to interfere with our hormonal system and are next in the line for EU legislation.
So what are the safe ingredients that really deserve the accolade as the best natural skin care for men? One of the most effective ones is called Xtend TK which is a sort of functional keratin. That not only can boost our own supplies of collagen but it can block the prostaglandin E2 which can cause redness in men’s skin but which is rarely addressed in men skin care products.
Antioxidants which come from totally natural ingredients are absolutely essential. I am thinking here of natural Vitamin E, A and C but also ingredients like phytessence wakame and nano lipobelle HEQ10 which are powerful antioxidants which are rarely in other men skin care products.
There care also plant derived ingredients which are superb moisturizers because they are fully bio available. The ones I have in mind here are avocado oil and grapeseed oil.
Isn’t it time you checked these out?
