Why Mice, And Millions Of American Women, Should Use Natural Moisturiser.
There are some very powerful reasons why millions of American women, as well as mice, should be seriously using a natural moisturiser, and why so many women should junk the moisturiser they may have used today.
The Journal of Investigative Dermatology has published a very interesting study. In the study scientists wanted to study whether caffeine could cause cancer in mice, and as a part of the study each mouse had a moisturiser applied to it’s skin for 17 weeks, 5 times a day.
Although this was not being studied, the researchers were surprised to find that the application of these moisturisers on the skin of the mice “increased the total number of histologically characterized tumors by 69%”. In other words the mice that received the moisturiser had a very significant increase in their rate of skin cancer.
Lets examine this a little more closely and find out why mice, and millions of women in the US who use moisturisers everyday, should be much more seriously considering using a natural moisturiser.
There were 4 different moisturisers used in the study. These were Dermabase, Dermovan, Eucerin, or Vanicream. All 4 of these moisturisers contain sodium lauryl sulphate (SLF) as well a mineral oil.
Mineral oil is found in a wide range of personal products such as skin care and anti aging products and cosmetics and it is also found in moisturisers. Mineral oil is used so extensively because it is incredibly cheap. Mineral oil is a petrochemical product, which means that comes from crude oil. And mineral oil, when applied to the skin, has been linked to cancer and other health problems.
You also find sodium lauryl sulphate in a wide range of soaps and shampoos and many consumers are aware that there are health risks from using products that contain sodium lauryl sulphate. For these reasons there are now soaps and shampoos available which advertise that they do not contain sodium lauryl sulphate. Sodium lauryl sulphate has been linked to cancer and other health problems as well. But many consumers are completely unaware that it is also found in many modern moisturisers.
The mere fact that these moisturisers increased the risk of skin cancer in the mice by a very significant amount doesn’t prove that the mineral oil or the sodium lauryl sulphate caused the skin cancer. Much more serious investigations would need to be undertaken to establish the exact cause, however one more fact should lead you to worry about your moisturiser, and also suggest you that you should be seriously considering using a natural facial moisturiser in the future.
This is the worrying fact. The scientists were very surprised to find the rate of skin cancer in the mice increase as they did, particularly given that this was not what they were studying. So they sourced another moisturiser that was a much more natural moisturiser, and which didn’t contain any mineral oil or sodium lauryl sulphate and they redid the study. This time they found no increase in the rate of skin cancer in the mice.
As you can see this study suggests powerful reasons why mice, and millions of women, should seriously consider using a natural face moisturiser in the future.
There’s hundreds or even thousands of personal products such as skin care products that contain chemical and petrochemical ingredients, many of which are known to have health implications. Some of these ingredients have been shown to cause cancer and may well be found in the moisturiser, as well as well as other skin care products that you may have even used today
There are very good natural skin care products available which do not use these chemical and petrochemical ingredients, and which use ingredients which are safe for mice, and women, to use and which work very well as a natural moisturiser.
