Exactly What Do Rodents With Skin Cancer Have To Do With Natural Face Skin Care?
Posted on Sep 04, 2010 under Other anti aging resources | No CommentIf that article title has you wondering a little then stay with me, because mice with skin cancer have lots to do with natural anti aging products.
Research has been done where a number of moisturizers, each containing Sodium Laurel Sulphate (SLS), were placed on the skin of rodents 5 times per day for 17 weeks.
As a result of the study it was concluded that the use of these moisturizers to the skin of the rodents caused a statistically important increase in the rate of skin cancer in the rodents who had the moisturizers applied, and particularly that this application of the moisturisers “increased the total number of histologically characterized tumors by 69%”.
What shocked the scientists was that they were not actually studying the connection between using those moisturizers on cancer of the skin in rodents, they were really researching something different. However they were so astonished at the outcome they then ran exactly the same test using moisturisers that did not have Sodium Laurel Sulphate, and discovered no statistical rise in the incidence of skin cancer in the rodents.
This really is scary stuff. Sodium Laurel Sulphate can be found in a wide range of our personal care products such as shampoos and soaps as well as many moisturizers.
The possible health threats of SLS have been known for a while. Way back in 1983 the Journal of the American College of Toxicology described a study about the effects of Sodium Laurel Sulphate on rabbits, and noted eye irritation, serious skin irritation and at a concentration of 15% about 20% of rabbits exposed to Sodium Laurel Sulphate ended up dying.
You’d anticipate therefore that none of our personal care products such as moisturizers would include Sodium Laurel Sulphate. The sad fact is that they do, along with many other dangerous chemical ingredients.
Equally sad is that we now have extremely effective natural moisturisers obtainable such as avocado oil and macadamia oil which are highly successful at moisturising skin and that are entirely safe. However the big name skin care companies don’t use them because they are more expensive.
In reality so many potentially dangerous chemical ingredients are now used in such so many of our personal products like soaps and shampoos, makeup and skincare products such as moisturizers that there are entire organisations set up to fight this.
There is a powerful move taking place amongst shoppers who are now turning away from well known products containing these chemical ingredients towards much safer, and in many cases a lot more effective safe and effective skin care products that don’t contain potentially dangerous chemical ingredients.
Of course where you can find consumers voting with their feet there are businesses catering for this trend by producing top quality natural skin care products that won’t contain such chemical components as Sodium Laurel Sulphate.
