Why Mice, And Millions Of American Women, Should Use Natural Moisturiser.
There’s very good reasons why mice should be using a natural moisturiser. And many of those reasons also apply to people, including the millions of women who use moisturisers in America.
Recently a study was published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. In this study scientists were interested to find out if caffeine could cause cancer in mice. As a part of the study each mouse had a moisturiser applied to it’s skin 5 times a day for 17 weeks.
The scientists were very surprised when they came to a conclusion that was not what was expected. The conclusion was that applying these moisturisers to the skin of the mice “increased the total number of histologically characterized tumors by 69%”. Or in other words that applying moisturiser to the skin of mice very significantly increase the risk 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.
Dermabase, Dermovan, Eucerin, or Vanicream were the moisturisers applied to the skin of the mice. All of these moisturisers containing sodium lauryl sulphate (SLF) and mineral oil.
Mineral oil is a petrochemical product that comes from crude oil. It is found extensively in a very wide range of personal products such as skin care and anti aging products, cosmetics and other personal products. It is used so widely because it is incredibly cheap. Mineral oil is also found in many moisturisers, and has been linked to cancer and other serious health issues.
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.
Of course the fact that moisturisers containing mineral oil and sodium lauryl sulphate were used on the mice, and that the mice contracted skin cancer, doesn’t prove that the sodium lauryl sulphate or the mineral oil caused the skin cancer. Nevertheless it is still a worrying conclusion. To establish the exact cause of the skin cancer would require more study. But it may have you sufficiently worried to more seriously consider using a natural moisturiser that doesn’t contain sodium lauryl sulphate or mineral oil in the future. But there is one more fact about which you should also be aware.
This is the fact. The conclusion from the study, namely that the rate of skin cancer in the mice was significantly increased, surprised the scientists, so much so that they decided to do the experiment again using a more natural moisturiser that didn’t contain either sodium lauryl sulphate or mineral oil. And when they redid the study using a more natural moisturiser 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
The good news is that it’s perfectly possible to buy excellent natural skin care products which don’t use sodium lauryl sulphate or mineral oil or any of the other chemical petrochemical ingredients which are commonly found in mainstream skin care products and which, in many cases, have been linked to various health problems. These natural skin care products use natural ingredients which are safe to use and which work extremely well.
