April 18, 2012 - PRLog -- What you see on television and in magazines is that Americans should eat a healthy well balanced diet and exercise more in order to avoid dieses and chronic illness. What isn’t being discussed is the importance of avoiding exposure to the overwhelming number of toxins and chemicals contained in a wide variety of everyday products you use in your home, including skin care and beauty products.

Buyer Beware: Cancer causing ingredients in your lotions
You shouldn’t need a masters degree in chemistry in order to decipher the ingredient labels of your favorite skin care products but sadly in most instances, this is the case. High quality natural ingredients are expensive to use and can cut into a companies profit so to keep your attention and your dollars in their pocket big skin care companies are constantly developing new low cost wonder ingredients or creating new chemical formulations. What you may not know is that these ingredients and chemical formulations are largely unregulated by the FDA and very little is being done to ensure your safety or the safety of your family.

Why isn’t the FDA protecting your safety?
Skin care is a multi billion dollar a year industry and big skin care companies have the money and power needed to help shape and influence policies regarding regulation which could explain why the US is so far behind Europe in banning certain chemicals for use in personal care and beauty products. The European Union has banned over one thousand chemicals that were widely used in personal care products while the US has banned only ten.

What you need to know to protect you and your family from cancer causing chemical agents
If the FDA will not tell big skin care companies what ingredients are unsafe to use, it is your job as a consumer to become educated and protect yourself. Know what is in the products you are purchasing and send a message to big corporations who use toxic ingredients that they need to reformulate by buying natural products that are safe for you and your skin.

Five carcinogenic ingredients to avoid in your skin care products labels:

1. Phthalates - This plastic softening chemical is commonly found in lotions, deodorants, and other personal care products. Chemicals in the phthalate family have been linked to birth defects, damage to reproductive organs.

2. Lauryl sulfate and Sodium laureth sulfate - This frequently used foaming agent is often found in toothpaste, shampoo, and shower gels. These chemicals have been linked to eczema and dermatitis and is known to inflame skin.

3. Paraben preservatives - This popular preservative can be found in hair gel, facial masks, lotions, deodorants, and sunscreen. These chemicals can disrupt the bodies natural balance of hormones and has also been linked to skin rashes.

5. Formaldehyde - This cheap and versatile chemical is used as a preservative, defoamer, and disinfectant and appears in everything from nail polish to body lotion. It can cause allergic reactions resulting in contact dermatitis. It has also been linked to headaches, joint pain, depression, fatigue, dizziness and even immune dysfunction.

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion: A safe option for you and your family

Small United States based skin care company, 21st Century Formulations put together a collaboration of noted dermatologists, a surgeon along with a world class chemist who spent six years developing Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion. Their shielding lotion features super-premium quality ingredients and natural plant extracts that are free of fragrances, colorants, parabens, and other toxic ingredients. Skin MD Natural is the lotion that protects healthy skin and heals dry skin by strengthening the skins own natural protective barrier that protects your skin from environmental toxins and irritants. Dermatologist Dr. Lisa Benest explains that, "We live in a much more toxic environment today and our skin bears the brunt. When we are exposed to harsh conditions in the environment it can have a very negative effect on our skin. The reason shielding lotions are so effective is that they replace the protective barrier and allow the skin to heal from within. A shielding lotion bonds with the outer layer of the skin and protects it from outside irritants and chemicals, so it will prevent skin conditions from developing or it will help an existing condition to heal."
