The Best Anti Aging Products Aren't The Best. Why?

By Peter Geraldson

Women who are beginning to see the first signs of skin ageing on their face often spend so much time searching for the very best anti aging products on the market.

Those captivating television ads and glossy magazine ads just seem so convincing that those anti aging creams must be great.

But if that describes you and you're searching for the best anti aging products you need to ask yourself a preliminary question before deciding if the products work well. You need to ask yourself whether those anti aging skin care products are safe to use.

The reason is that there is a massive range of chemical ingredients that are found in in almost all of the big name skin care products you might even be using right now. Oof those ingredients is named Propylene Glycol and it's Propylene Glycol that I would like to tell you about today.

You may have some Propylene Glycol in your car right now because it's the principal component of antifreeze that goes in car radiators. The EPA suggests that people working with Propylene Glycol wear protective clothing including gloves and goggles to avoid it coming into contact with their skin.

If you search at the Cosmetic Safety Database you will find that Propylene Glycol is listed as an ingredient in 1118 facial treatments, 945 anti aging moisturizers and 690 other anti aging products as well as a wide range of other personal products.

And you will also see that it is linked to cancer, allergies and immunotoxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity and skin irritation as well as other worrying health conditions.

Whether it is advertised as the best skin care product on the market it should be avoided if it contains Propylene Glycol or a whole host of other suspect chemical ingredients that are found in so many of our personal products.

They are found in our products because the FDA is not required to satisfy itself about the safety of any ingredients used in these products, and so the manufacturers put them there because these ingredients are very cheap, and they can get away with it.

So if you're beginning to see the start of wrinkles and skin sagging should you just avoid all anti aging products and leave those wrinkles to get worse? No that's not necessary.

There are small companies that compete in this massive market but which have a demonstrated ethical commitment to making high quality products using ingredients that are known to be safe (and highly effective at aging skin care).

One of these companies in particular makes extremely high quality products. They use natural ingredients all known to be safe and which are also known to have excellent skin care properties but these natural ingredients are very very expensive.

So it would be fair to assume that the anti aging products made by this company must also be very expensive, but in fact they're not. That's because this company chooses not to spend lots of money on television or magazine advertising and so does not need to factor advertising and marketing into the price of the products, and this is invariably the major cost of any line of skin care products. Therefore their anti aging products are in fact very price competitive.

The good news is that the best anti aging products are made by a company you've probably never heard of. But when you do you'll be amazed at how good (and how safe) these products are.
