Why Should Mice And Millions Of Women Consider Using A Natural Moisturiser?
There are excellent reasons why mice and millions of American women should be using natural moisturisers.
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 surprised to find a result that they hadn’t expected. One of the conclusions that they drew from the study was that applying these moisturisers to the mice “increased the total number of histologically characterized tumors by 69%”. Or, in layman’s language, that using a moisturiser on the mice dramatically increased their 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 very common ingredient in many personal products that you may use every day including cosmetics, skin care and anti aging products. It is a petrochemical product which means that it comes from crude oil and it has been linked to various cancers as well as other health problems. The reason mineral oil is used extensively is because it is extremely cheap.
Sodium lauryl sulphate is well known as a common ingredient in many soaps and shampoos and has also been linked to cancer and other health problems as well. For this reason many consumers specifically look for soaps and shampoos that do not contain sodium lauryl sulphate. But many consumers are unaware that other products, such as moisturisers, also contain sodium lauryl sulphate.
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.
And this is it. The scientists were so concerned about the result that they decided to do the study again using a more natural moisturiser which didn’t contain either sodium lauryl sulphate or mineral oil. When they did the study a second time using this more natural moisturiser they found no increase in the rate of skin cancer in the mice at all.
So you can see that there are some worrying conclusions to be drawn from the study, and you can also see why so many American women, as well as mice, might be more seriously considering using natural face moisturisers rather than a moisturiser they may be using now which may well contain sodium lauryl sulphate and mineral oil.
Hundreds of our personal products contain chemical and petrochemical ingredients, many of which have been shown to cause cancer and other health problems. This extends to a wide range of moisturisers currently available and which you may use right now.
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.
