ANTI:

• Petroleum Derived Oils, because the extraction of these is damaging to the environment.

• Silicone in moisturisers are generally used as a filler ingredient and don’t have a tangible benefit to the long term health of your skin. They can build up on the skin leading to acne or more sensitive skin with irritations.

• Fragrance or Perfume, synthetic scents can cause skin irritation just as some essential oils alone can (and why we mix small amounts of natural oils together)

• Propylene Glycol is used to increase moisturiser retention in some moisturisers but it can be toxic, its effects can vary depending on the dose. As it absorbs moisture from anything around it and penetrates it deep into the skin it can harm the lipid barrier of your skin, causing irritation. Severe effects can include nausea, vertigo and even seizures.

• Silicones don’t provide any tangible long term benefit for your skin (unless you’re dealing with a wound or burn), therefore they have no purpose in your moisturiser. They’re also difficult to wash off, but when you do wash them off they contribute to the build up of pollution in oceans and waterways. They create a barrier, so they can trap dead skin-cells, oil and dirt as well as block other ingredients from doing their job if you’re into skincare layering.

• Parabens, these nasty little ingredients can cause contact dermatitis or skin irritations. Some studies also state they can elevate cellular level damage caused by UV exposure leading to skin cancer and scientists have concerns they can also disrupt hormones harming the body.
