Common
Terms
Emollients - Are substances which soften and soothe the skin. They are used to correct dryness and scaling of the skin.
Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) - Fatty acids are required in the
human diet; and they must be obtained from food or through topical application,
as human cells have no biochemical pathways capable of producing them
internally.
Free Radicals - are atoms, molecules or ions
with unpaired electrons on an otherwise open shell configuration. These
unpaired electrons are usually highly reactive, so radicals are likely to take
part in chemical reactions. Because of their reactivity, these same free radicals can participate
in unwanted side reactions resulting in cell damage. Many forms of cancer are
thought to be the result of reactions between free radicals and DNA, resulting
in mutations that can adversely affect the cell cycle and potentially lead to
malignancy. Some of the symptoms of aging such as atherosclerosis are also
attributed to free-radical induced oxidation of many of the chemicals making up
the body. Free radicals may also be involved in Parkinson's disease, senile and
drug-induced deafness, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's.
Humectants - Increases the water-holding capacity of the skin, and attracts moisture from the air.
Phyto-nutrients – Means any chemical or nutrient derived from a plant source.
Sebum - Sebaceous glands secrete an oily substance called
sebum. Sebum acts to protect and waterproof hair and skin, and keep them from
becoming dry, brittle, and cracked. It can also inhibit the growth of
micro-organisms on skin. Over-active sebaceous glands are involved in skin
problems such as acne.
Commonly Founds Toxins to Avoid:
Sodium
Formaldehyde - Formaldehyde can be toxic,
allergenic, and carcinogenic. At concentrations above 0.1 ppm in air
formaldehyde can irritate the eyes and mucous membranes, resulting in watery
eyes. Formaldehyde inhaled at this concentration may cause headaches, a burning
sensation in the throat, and difficulty breathing, as well as triggering or
aggravating asthma symptoms. It is found in many synthetic fragrance blends and
should be avoided.
Isopropyl Alcohol – This chemical is used to thin
lotions and creams, and to increase glide with application. It is oxidized by
the liver into acetone. Symptoms of isopropyl alcohol poisoning include
flushing, headache, dizziness, CNS depression, nausea, vomiting, anesthesia,
and coma.
Methylparaben - Or other ‘paraben’ ending
compounds –is an antifungal that is widely used as a preservative for food,
drugs, and cosmetics. Parabens are readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal
tract or through the skin. It is hydrolyzed and rapidly excreted without
accumulation in the body. Acute toxicity studies have shown that methylparaben
is practically non-toxic by both oral and parenteral administration. In a
population with normal skin, methyl paraben is practically non-irritating and
non-sensitizing; however allergic reactions to ingested parabens have been
reported.
Mineral Oil – This petroleum derived chemical
is a commonly-found ingredient in baby lotions, cold creams, ointments and
low-grade cosmetics as an alternative to more expensive oils. According to some
sources, use of mineral oil cosmetics commonly leads to acne. It has low
reports of allergic reactions but is viewed as a ‘cheap’ alternative.
Oxybenzone (Benzophenone-3) – This chemical has been known to
cause developmental and reproductive toxicity, skin allergies, and immunotoxicity.
It is not easily excreted and creates bioaccumulation, enhanced skin
absorption, and biochemical or cellular level changes.
Propylene Glycol – This chemical is used as a
moisturizer in low-grade skin care products and cosmetics as an alternative to
more expensive oils. It causes allergies, immunotoxicity, organ system toxicity
(non-reproductive), and irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs).
Toluene - Toluene is a common solvent, able to dissolve
paints, paint thinners, silicone sealants, many chemical reactants, rubber,
printing ink, adhesives (glues), lacquers, leather tanners, and disinfectants. Unfortunately,
it is also found in many synthetic fragrances. The toxicity of toluene can be
explained mostly by its metabolism. As toluene has very low water solubility,
it cannot exit the body via the normal routes (urine, feces, or sweat). It must
be metabolized in order to be excreted, which may severely damage cells.
