Cosmetics are very common in our lives. Almost all cosmetics contain some fragrances and preservatives. Usually, few people pay attention to such issues and think that such fragrances are normal. Under normal circumstances, the harm of fragrances to the body is relatively small, but for some people with allergic constitutions, these spices may easily form allergens and cause certain harm to the body. The harm of cosmetic fragrance Many skin care products contain fragrances, including many big brands. Without fragrance, they may not smell good, but fragrance is one of the most important allergens in the eyes of formulators and is very harmful to the skin. Fragrance itself is a mixture, composed of artificial or natural flavors. Some flavor ingredients are major allergens and even cause cancer. There was once a formulator who needed to prepare a large amount of topical skin care agents in the laboratory to prepare consumer tests for different flavors in order to test which flavor was better. The formulator stayed with the test for many days, and later symptoms of redness and itching began to appear on his face. The test believes that this is a facial sensitivity problem caused by contact with new fragrances and long-term exposure to volatile fragrances. Therefore, it is recommended that you choose fragrance-free brands. Although the smell is pleasant, it is unhealthy for the skin, so don’t take the risk of using it. Especially for sensitive skin, if you see fragrance in the ingredient list, you should be careful, as there are many products on the market that do not contain fragrance. What harm will long-term use of skin care products containing preservatives bring to the skin? Next, we will analyze the harm that the ingredients of preservatives in skin care products cause to the skin, so that you can understand the culprits that cause chronic skin problems. Preservatives are substances that exist to prevent changes or mutations in the product's bacterial flora. In other words, they prolong the time it takes for a product to go bad! For some people, especially those with sensitive skin, if they use skin care products containing preservatives, their skin will immediately become sensitive, red, and itchy. Most people’s skin will not become immediately sensitive, but after using it for a period of time, as the chemical components slowly accumulate and penetrate, they will cause damage to the skin, so many people are not aware of the problems with the skin care products they use. But in fact, research results have shown that even trace amounts of preservatives, when used over a long period of time, can accelerate the aging of skin cells and make them sensitive and fragile. In addition, although the preservatives added to a product are only trace amounts, you should know that the skin care products we use every day are of course not just one kind... The total number of skin care products and cosmetics used in the morning and at night can be as many as 6 or 7. The damage caused by the harmful chemical ingredients added together is really not trivial, and it is "chronic damage." |
