You Need To Avoid Petrolatum In Your Moisturizers, And See Synergy TK
If you been buying skin care and anti aging products like moisturizing creams and lotions for a long time you've probably heard of petrolatum. You'll see on the labels of most of the bottles. However you've probably never heard of Synergy TK.
Most big name anti aging products like moisturizing lotions and creams contain a chemical ingredients such as petrolatum and mineral oil. These are formed in the process of distilling crude oil. They are used in many big name products as they are extremely cheap.
You may know petrolatum better as vaseline or petroleum jelly. The idea behind its use in moisturizers is that, as it repels moisture, it will form thin-film over the skin to prevent skin moisture loss. The same with mineral oil. Neither mineral oil or petrolatum have any moisturizing properties themselves.
There's no particular problem with this except that both mineral oil and petrolatum have been linked to various health concerns including breast cancer. Petrolatum, for example, is now banned as an ingredient in the European Union however it is still legal as an ingredient in skin care products in the US.
The best natural anti aging products in the world do not contain any petrochemical products. Rather they contain an ingredient called Synergy TK which is made from the wool of sheep. It is highly expensive, patented, and extremely effective at promoting optimum production of collagen in the skin, which leads to improved levels of skin elasticity which in turn allow for better moisturizing and reduced incidence of wrinkles
Synergy TK is completely safe and works with a range of other naturally occurring moisturizers such as Shea butter and jojoba oil. These products promote skin health and optimum skin health is the best way to achieve successful moisturizing.
It is only a very narrow range of skin care products that contain Synergy TK. This is because most of the big companies reduce the cost of ingredients in their products as low as possible to maximise the marketing budget for such things as TV advertising.
But it is possible to source natural anti aging products that contain Synergy TK at a comparable price to the products you probably use now. The reason is that there is a small niche company that has made the decision to spend its money on product quality rather than marketing. That's the reason you've probably never heard of Synergy TK.
So if you're looking for great quality skin care products that moisturize successfully and which promote optimum skin health reject any that have petrolatum or mineral oil listed on the label. They don't work well and it may be bad for your health.
