Choosing ‘the best cream’

Choosing ‘the best cream’

Yesterday I met with Juliet and Maria (my friends). Juliet (who has a one-month-old baby) looked great, with glowing skin. She said she was using ‘the best cream’ from England. Maria said, ‘Christian Dior preserves me very well darling, I don’t need organics.’ Juliet said, ‘Lucie, why do you pull that face when I mention my fabulous cream?’

I checked out the ingredients in Juliet’s cream – it was full of names which are listed as not beneficial. So I passed on the web links (see below) to her. Sometimes it’s better if people find out for themselves.

I often hear people say, ‘If chemicals and toxins were harmful to humans, the beauty industry wouldn’t be able to put them on the market.’

So why do most beauty products contain synthetic ingredients?

Reasons could include:

to make a profit – often synthetics are cheaper
the chemists creating them have not learned organic chemistry
manufacturers are not aware of the possible long-term harm.

Here are some web links to information about synthetic ingredients and what they do.

When it comes to choosing products, shouldn’t we be truly educated about both the good and the bad? Then we can make a choice based on proven evidence.
