There are wonderful paraben free facial moisturizers on the market, but some of them aren’t that great. The same is true for paraben free hand cream.

In response to the call for paraben free facial moisturizers and other products, some companies jumped on board by changing the artificial preservative that they use in their products. What we really wanted was products free of artificial preservatives.

Synthetic preservatives have been show to cause respiratory and other health problems. They are the most common cause of allergic and adverse reactions in skincare products and they are totally unnecessary.

Yes, natural oils need to be processed correctly and natural preservatives need to be added to prevent their rancidity. Using a rancid essential oil can cause a serious infection. But, we have natural vitamin E, an effective preservative and a wonderful antioxidant that is important to the skin’s health.

You really need to be an expert to protect yourself from the hazards included in products that we use every day. I’ve done enough research to consider myself an expert. You might need a little bit of help. Hopefully, I can provide some of the help that you need.

Avoid Sunscreens

I was looking at the ingredients in one paraben free hand cream and saw that it contained oxybenzone. Oxybenzone and benzophenone are organic sun-screening compounds. They are not the most effective sunscreens and researchers have shown that when exposed to sunlight, they increase free radical activity, which makes them probable carcinogens.

Many paraben free facial moisturizers have an SPF rating because they contain synthetic or organic sunscreens. Products that are light enough to wear every day cannot be effective sunscreens. The only safe and effective sunscreen on the market is zinc oxide. If you expect to be outside for extended periods of time, use it.

Look for Antioxidants

A paraben free hand cream should contain natural vitamin E, as I mentioned above, but other antioxidants are also important. You see, antioxidants are our natural defense against free radical damage, which is responsible for skin-cancer, wrinkling and an aged appearance.

The best paraben free hand cream contains coenzyme Q10 and manuka honey. COQ10 levels are quickly depleted when the skin is exposed to UV radiation from the sun. Your hands are exposed to sunlight more often than any other part of your body. The paraben free facial moisturizers for nighttime also contain manuka honey and coq10, because they repair damage done during the day.

A paraben free hand cream should also contain vitamin B5, because it provides natural protection against sunburn. Other ingredients are just as important, including olive oil, jojoba and grape seed.

By the same token, there are many other ingredients to avoid, including petrolatum, paraffin and mineral oil. The use of these ingredients is supposed to moisturize, but they do not penetrate and eventually cause excessive dryness.

Hopefully, you will be able to find safe and effective paraben free facial moisturizers, as I have. It could be very important to your long-term health.
