Can Hypoallergenic Skin Care Products And Non Comedogenic Skin Care Products Just Be A Con?

Posted by Peter Geraldson 24 November, 2009

Anyone who’s had an allergic reaction to anti aging skin care products would be forgiven for looking for hypoallergenic skin care products. Similarly anyone who’s had their acne exacerbated by modern skin care products would also be forgiven for looking for non comedogenic anti aging products.

The reason for this is that almost all anti aging skin care products contain petrochemical and chemical ingredients that have health implications and can produce allergies and skin reactions in many people and they can also contain ingredients such as mineral oil which clogs pores and leads to acne.

But there is no definition of what hypoallergenic skin care is or for that matter what non comedogenic is and if you see skin care products labelled as hypoallergenic or non comedogenic they may or may not be.

The reason is that the FDA does not have to examine claims made on the label of any anti aging skin care products. The cosmetics and anti aging industries are self regulated and no manufacturer is required to justify the claims made on the label of it’s products.

So you can see there are powerful reasons to find good hypoallergenic skin products and non comedogenic skin products and you can also see the problem and the reasons to be suspicious. You should not believe claims made on the labels of any skin care products, they may contain all the same chemical ingredients as any others.

So if you are, for good reason, searching for a hypoallergenic moisturizer, for example, how do you find one?

What you need to do is to find the company that clearly and publicly demonstrates its commitment to the safety of the ingredients used in it’s products (as well as to the effectiveness of it’s products).

There are a number of companies, one especially, that publicly evidences a corporate philosophy and a commitment to producing natural skin care products which use high quality natural ingredients which are known safe and do not produce allergies. There is an organisation called the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and it is possible on their website to sign a compact that publicly commits the company to producing products with only known safe ingredients.

And there are also companies, again one in particular, that strive to make it clear on their website that the safety of all of their products is superior to all other considerations.

Unusually the company that produces natural skin care products in this way does not label them as hypoallergenic skin care products or non comedogenic skin care products at all though in fact this is what they are.

In other words if you’re searching for safe skin care products you need to go beyond believing what is written on the label of the products and look at the corporate philosophy of the company that makes the products to find evidence of their commitment to producing safe products.

Usually a company with this sort of commitment will also produce the finest skin care products available as well.
