Chances are you use a moisturizer every day. It’s a good idea to take care of your skin and there’s hundreds of different anti aging skin care products available. However it may be news to you that many skin care products, such as moisturizers which contain chemical ingredients like sodium lauryl sulphate, may be putting your health at risk, and that there are powerful reasons to use a natural moisturizer.

Sodium lauryl sulphate works very well as a degreaser. Mechanics use it to degrease engines and because of its properties it is used in many well known brands of soaps and shampoos, and consumers are becoming more and more aware that finding sodium lauryl sulphate in your shampoos and soaps is not good.

But it’s not nearly so well known that so many big name moisturizers also contain sodium lauryl sulphate, (as well as many of the chemical ingredients) and using these products regularly may cause skin cancer.

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology reported a study done on mice. The researchers were intending to study the effects of caffeine on the mice but as a part of the study the researchers applied a number of commonly available moisturizers to the skin of the mice. And the mice were also given UV radiation to simulate the effects of sunlight as well as having moisturizer replied 5 times a day for 17 weeks.

All the moisturizers used in the study contain sodium lauryl sulphate. They also contained petrochemical ingredients such as mineral oil.

The researchers were surprised to discover that the mice exhibited an increase in the risk of skin cancer and an increase in skin tumors of 69 percent.

So they decided to study this again using a moisturizer with no sodium lauryl sulphate or mineral oil. And they found that this time there was no increase in the risk of skin cancer to the mice.

Perhaps now you’re beginning to see the link between moisturizers, sodium lauryl sulphate and skin cancer and are beginning to wonder whether you should be considering a natural moisturizer next time you’re looking to buy your anti aging skin care products.

Or maybe you’ve even decided to throw out the moisturizer that you used this morning.

The sad fact is that there is a wide range of chemical and petrochemical ingredients such as sodium lauryl sulphate used in so many of the big brand-name skin care and anti aging products that so many women use every day. There are many natural alternatives which make excellent moisturizers. There are many oils from various fruits and nuts that have excellent and well-known moisturizing properties, however these are not commonly used because chemical ingredients such as sodium lauryl sulphate and mineral oil are much cheaper.

There are some wonderful natural moisturizers available. They use ingredients which are highly effective ata moisturizing and which are known to be safe, and which will not put you at risk of skin cancer. One company in particular makes an outstanding range of natural skin care products that are highly effective and totally safe. Chances are you’ve never heard of them.

It’s about time to consider throwing away those big name anti aging skin care products which you may be using right now and which may be putting you at risk of skin cancer or worse. There are excellent natural alternatives such as natural moisturizers which work equally well and generally better and do not risk your health at all.
