Continued growth ekosoznatelnosti, the desire to eat organic foods, natural cosmetics and use every possible way to protect themselves from synthetics and other harmful "chemistry" makes people attentive to what they acquire. Close inspection of the composition of cosmetic products is not a cause for concern, especially if they are names that at the hearing because of his controversial reputation. Propylene in cosmetics relates to such. He is credited with the ability to not only cause irritation, but also increase the risk of chronic diseases of internal organs and even cancer tumors.

Humidifier and absorbent

Propylene Glycol - a substance is colorless and odorless, which is the result of synthesis of refined petroleum products, and of course, this origin can not but cause questions concerning the potential destructive impact on the human body.

It's hard to find an inexpensive cream, serum or mask for the face with moisturizing properties that would not contain a substance that has the ability to bind moisture and does not allow her to leave the surface of the skin, thereby providing long-term hydration and protection. Is not the purpose of the use of humidifiers, which is recommended to use a woman from adolescence to youth preservation Keeping youth - proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle   Skin and beauty Beauty skin care and healthy   and delaying the signs of aging?

Disturbing signs

The alarm sounded American professionals who first almost indiscriminately and very unwisely accused the propylene glycol in the destructive qualities, attributing to him the toxic and carcinogenic properties. As proof of the undeniable harm propylene cited research conducted back in the eighties. During the experiment, scientists have observed the animals that ate food containing propylene glycol (the substance does to a certain point was part of the animal feed).

As a result, it was found its negative effects on the body: the females produce offspring with abnormalities of development in males decreased levels of sperm, all animals were observed metabolic disorder Metabolic disease . Such findings could not pass unnoticed, and in scientific journals began to appear articles warning women of the use of cosmetics containing propylene glycol. It has long been known that the substance is included in most cosmetic creams used by women on a daily basis.

Concerned community members related to the supervision of the safety of cosmetic products, began to conduct their research. And monitoring of women who used cosmetics containing propylene glycol, showed satisfactory results. As it turned out, when the primary experiments using 100% of the concentration of propylene glycol. He played a negative role and method of ingestion, which is, of course, has a high concentration in the body is much more devastating impact than external application.

False Accusations

In cosmetics, propylene glycol is used in lower concentrations - its chemical properties in a small amount is enough for good moisture retention within the epidermis. According to the study it was shown that women who use such cosmetics, do not put themselves at risk of cancer, and propylene glycol does not cause liver and kidney damage, as stated in earlier scientific articles.

A side effect under the rules

Toxic effects of propylene glycol in cosmetics is really not alien. Due to the devastating effect on the cell membrane, it can contribute to the development of allergic reactions, irritation, contact dermatitis. For this reason, cosmetics propylene glycol at high concentrations is not recommended to use for people with hypersensitive skin prone to allergies. If not applicable to cosmetics hypoallergenic, the rejection reaction can cause almost any component thereof, especially natural, naturally occurring, and even in eco cosmetics. This is another reason that should not be demonized propylene glycol.

To protect your skin and provoke negative reactions, you should not use moisturizers containing propylene glycol on the skin with the existing signs of irritation - with acne, allergies, rashes from the mechanical irritation. Pick agent with a therapeutic effect, and as the chief mate treat skin moisturizer hyaluronic acid.
