Why choose Oxygen Natural Products over Chemicals?
If you knew your skincare products contained crude oil, hazardous chemicals and dead animals, would you continue to use them? These components are very real ingredients in most commercial skincare brands. The following is a list of how these ingredients, including, mineral oil (crude), parabens, aluminium chloride, sodium lauryl sulphate and glycols, to name but a few, can affect you:
- Allergic skin reactions
- Associated with cancer
- Toxic material absorbed through the skin into the body and stored in our organs
- Cellular structure damage
- Strip skin of its natural moisture
- Pore clogging causing acne and/or dryness due to the moisture not absorbing
- Skin irritation
Why do so many commercial skincare companies use these chemicals? They are very cheap to use and the preservatives such as parabens prolong the shelf life of the products so they can be stored in factories for years. Some of these chemicals are used to make the product smell good and create lathering and gliding textures which is all they do; they are in no way beneficial to your skin or your inner health.
On the flipside, Oxygen skincare products contain only natural ingredients found in plants and essential oils. These will benefit your inner health as well as your outer beauty as the aromas of essential oils are therapeutic and emotionally rebalancing. The benefits of essential oils are:
- Stimulates circulation
- Absorption into the skin provides more therapeutic benefits
- High potency helps warn off acne causing bacteria, fungi and viruses
- Anti-ageing properties promote healthy cellular regeneration
- Helps to break down cellulite causing fat cells
- Reduces inflammation in conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, insect bites and stings
- Anti-scarring and can break up old scars and assist in wound healing
- Anti-cancer which reduces small simple skin cancers according to anecdotal evidence
- Sebum production balancing for both dry and oily/acne prone skin
Studies by UK scientists have revealed that the types of preservatives such as parabens found in skincare products and cosmetics have also been found in breast cancer tissue samples which is proof that these harmful chemicals are stored in our organs.
Would you knowingly do this to your body? Or are you convinced that the use of safe and natural products of the Oxygen skincare range will have only therapeutic and beneficial effects on your skin and body?
We certainly are! Welcome to our world.... free from chemicals. Oxygen Skincare - for freedom.... because natural beauty is healthy beauty!
