Are Hypoallergenic Skin Care Products And Non Comedogenic Skin Care Products A Con?

by Peter Geraldson on December 1, 2009

If you have had a nasty allergic skin reaction to modern anti aging in care products then you’re in good company and you may be forgiven for looking for hypoallergenic anti aging products. Or perhaps you’ve had your acne exacerbated by modern anti aging products and so you’d be equally forgiven for searching for non comedogenic skin care products.

Most modern anti aging skin products contain petrochemical and chemical ingredients that can produce health problems including allergies and skin reactions. And many also contain mineral oil which clogs the pores of the skin and can create acne.

But there is no definition of what hypoallergenic skin care is or for that matter what non comedogenic is and if you see skin care products labelled as hypoallergenic or non comedogenic they may or may not be.

This is because the FDA is not required to examine any claims made on the labels of anti aging skin care products. The industry is entirely self regulated and as a result there is no requirement that any manufacturer prove any claims that it makes on the labels of its products.

So you can see there are powerful reasons to find good hypoallergenic skin products and non comedogenic skin products and you can also see the problem and the reasons to be suspicious. You should not believe claims made on the labels of any skin care products, they may contain all the same chemical ingredients as any others.

So if you’ve had an allergic reaction from an anti aging moisturizer for example, how do you successfully find a good hypoallergenic moisturizer if this is the case?

What you must do is find a manufacturer that publicly and clearly demonstrates a commitment to the safety fo their skin care products it manufactures (as well as to the effectiveness of it’s products).

There are companies, one in particular, that publicly evidence a corporate philosophy that commits the company to producing products which only use high quality and known safe ingredients. For example there is an organization called the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and it is possible for companies to sign the compact on the website of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics which publicly evidences the intention of the company to use only safe ingredients in it’s products.

And equally there are companies, again one in particular, that makes it quite clear on their website, to their total commitment to product safety above all other considerations.

Strangely the natural skin care products manufactured in this way are not label as hypoallergenic skin care products or non comedogenic skin care products. The reality is however that this is what they are.

In other words you need to go beyond the claims made on the label and look behind the corporate philosophy of the company that makes the products to find a dedication to making safe products before all else.

And usually you will find that a company that commits itself to making totally safe products will also make the highest quality skin care products available.

To find out which company has such a publicly stated commitment to product safety and makes the finest hypoallergenic and non comedogenic skin care products get over to my website.
