In the United States, the cosmetic companies are fully aware that they can be successful at practically doing anything they want. The Food and Drug Administration allows them to use any ingredients, except for a few off limits substances. They are only off limits because they endanger the health of factory workers.

The companies' are not concerned about the customer's health or the unsafe use of ingredients. Fortunately, the online database for cosmetic and anti aging skin care review certainly lists the ingredients and rates products according to safety.

All this free service asks you to do is sign up for their newsletter, but because they are a non-profit organization they do accept donations. You can freely search for an anti aging skin care system by name in the database. In addition, you can search by category and products. The products will be listed from safest, to most hazardous.

You'll be surprised how many products fall in the hazardous category. For instance, did you know that your lipstick may contain lead, a toxic metal that causes brain damage, neurological problems and birth defects?

Thirty three different brands were tested and 61% contained lead. Companies that you may count on for safety, like L'Oreal, Cover Girl and Christian Dior tested positive. This is a very serious health threat, but the cosmetic companies say it is safe.

Some ingredients are not hazardous but they should not be included in an anti aging skin care system, even though they are not hazardous. For instance, the use of paraffin as a "lip plumper", in the customer review that I scanned, it was the wrong ingredient to include because mineral oil byproducts and paraffin interfere with the skin rejuvenation process.

The fact that I discovered from a dermatologist's viewpoint on safe and effective creams and lotions is that paraffin impedes the skin's renovation process. One of the customers that wrote the anti aging skin care review mentioned that the product was ineffective, but even if it had worked, it would have produced a negative result which would have been dryer, and damaged looking lips.

How about the Avon anti aging skin care system? That has to be safe, right? I looked at the ingredients in Avon's Ultimate transforming cream. The first thing that I noticed was titanium dioxide, a sunscreen that has recently been listed as possibly carcinogenic.

10 The anti aging skin care review at Skin Deep ranks the Avon anti aging skin care system as highly hazardous. It contains compounds that are known to cause developmental and reproductive toxicity. Other ingredients in it are neurotoxins, endocrine disruptors and irritants.

The Avon anti aging skin care system is "enhanced". When a cosmetic product is "enhanced", it means that it is easily absorbed into the skin's layers. This enhanced quality sounds like a good thing, but in reality creates new complications, because it can enter the bloodstream easily and constitute a higher risk.

The most important consideration is the realization that Avon's anti aging skin care system does not seem to have anything in the ingredients that might be beneficial except vitamin A, and that's not the most beneficial vitamin for the skin. There are a few, although very effective anti aging skin products in the market, but you likely won't find an "anti aging skin care review" that mentions them, because there is little or no advertizing. Please take the time to learn about them, you'll be glad you did.
