Fragrances In Skin Care Products Can Trigger Brain Damage

Posted: Sep 02, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

This is a alarming statement. How in the world might a fragrance possibly cause you any harm, not to mention cause brain injury? That's a good question. Right now I want to look at the hazards of chemical scents in personalized products such as skin care products, makeup and more.

While it may be romantic to imagine somebody someplace stirring an enormous pot of rose petals to produce perfume nothing could be more wrong. In fact a scent, or one of many 1000's that are presently being used today, is simply a chemical which smells good.
Usually they're created in a lab by a chemist, and when you read the chemical name it would sound no different to any one of thousands of other chemicals. Not many have ever been analyzed for safety to be used on human beings.

A perfume is simply a chemical. And you will not even find read the chemical name simply because companies which manufacture personal products such as skincare products and cosmetics usually are not required to put the complete chemical name on the content label to protect their so-called "trade secret" chemical fragrance.

Usually scents in merchandise is just shown as "fragrance" with no more. Often they aren't even shown.

Studies have shown that when you put some thing onto the skin it's usually distributed around your body in a comparatively short time period and can be found in your blood stream quite fast. So many of our modern skin care products and anti-aging products are applied to huge areas of the body including on the hands, neck, face and more.

And when products, as they normally do, include a chemical scent it's applied to a sizable part of the skin and it is absorbed into the blood stream like any other.

Now obviously nothing is wrong with smelling nice, but doing this by smearing chemical fragrances over the skin is not always recommended.

But how about the brain damage? Dating back to 1986 the US National Academy of Sciences recognised the possibilities of chemical perfumes to trigger brain damage due to their possible action as a neurotoxin.

Of course this won't mean that anybody who uses a scent will get brain damage. It just signifies that the US National Academy of Sciences recognises the danger is there.

But do you want to take that risk?

The good news is that we now have fantastic niche skin care companies that make outstanding natural skincare products that won't contain any scents at all. The main reason they do not include any chemical fragrances is due to what I've just layed out above.

If you wish to smell nice then make use of a little pat of perfume, preferably on your clothes rather than the skin, because scents in perfumes aren't any different.

    The differences between Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy and the more traditional Synthetic Hormone Therapy. Sermorelin (Bio-Identical) is designed to stimulate the pituitary gland's hormone growth hormone production. Once your body produces more human growth hormone, Sermorelin will also stimulate your liver's IGF-1 (insulin growth factor).
