Everyone uses a moisturizer of some kind on a daily basis and there are hundreds of them to choose from. Products are being sold by brand name cosmetics companies and are marketed for use exclusively on your face or body. Some are reasonable in price, others are incredibly expensive, and the vast majority of them are chemical in composition.
A growing number of people are questioning the safety of the colors, synthetic preservatives, fragrances, and other chemicals these products contain. Their concern is leading them to seek certified natural moisturizer, a safer alternative.
If you are thinking of dumping your brand name face and body lotion in favor of one that contains all natural ingredients, there are more than a few to choose from—some are all natural, while others come close. Natural has become a marketing term that has lost much of its real meaning. What you want to unearth during your search is a genuinely natural lotion that does more than nourish, condition, hydrate, and rejuvenate. You also want it to protect your skin from aging.
What never ceases to amaze me is how the hundreds of lotions and moisturizers on the market seem to be missing the mark when it comes to the one thing they should be doing—helping prevent skin aging. Of course, they can only accomplish this when the formula is natural and includes the silver bullet of skin protection---antioxidants.
I am sure you have seen the word anti-aging on the labels numerous skin care products. What they mean is that the products contain some form of antioxidants, usually chemically formulated, that can help prevent excess skin aging. The question to be asked here is do chemical anti-aging ingredients do a better job than natural ones? In my view, they do not, especially when they are combined with additional chemicals with questionable health qualities.
Bioactive natural antioxidants are the latest technological advancement in chemical free moisturizer. Antioxidants act as cell protectors—controlling free radicals that attack the fats, protein, and DNA in our skin cells and break down elastin and collagen which creates excess wrinkles. Excessive free radical damage over a longer period of time can lead to skin cancer.
Antioxidants with bioactivity are more effective because they remain active on your skin and neutralize free radicals for a longer period of time—a real benefit if you only apply your moisturizer in the morning.
An excellent example of bioactive antioxidants in action is the revolutionary combination invented by Peter Zahner for MelanSol® 100% Natural Skin Care. Peter’s antioxidant formulation consists of bio-melanin (melanin extracted from date fruit), green tea extract (with an optimum polyphenol count), and natural mixed vitamin E (full spectrum). When these three natural antioxidants are combined in a specific way, they act synergistically to control the accumulation of free radicals that damage skin cells. Bio-Melanin has 1000 times the capacity for controlling free radicals than vitamin E alone.
The word antioxidant has also become a great marketing term. Unfortunately, antioxidants like coffee, green tea, soy, oatmeal, vitamin C, synthetic vitamin E, and certain natural forms of vitamin E are less protective because they have a low capacity for controlling free radicals on your skin. They are included in formulas because they know many people are looking for antioxidants.
When searching for a natural moisturizer, before investigating its antioxidant mix, save yourself some valuable time by first making sure the entire formula is truly natural. This can easily be confirmed if the product prominently displays the green Natural Seal of the Natural Products Association (NPA) of the USA on its front or back label. The NPA independently certifies that natural products ingredients, and the way they were processed, are indeed free of chemicals.
Going natural is not only good for your body; it’s good for your soul. The positive feelings you experience from using safe and healthy ingredients on your skin are priceless.
