Dangerous Brand Names: Posing a Threat to You and Your Family?

VERDUGO CITY, CA, May 18, 2012 (Press-News.org) Harmful ingredients masked in product labels affect the unaware
The National Skin Care Institute wants to warn consumers of the risk toxic products poise to their skin and overall general health. There is not enough transparency being seen from big brand names and consumers are often unaware of the harmful chemical ingredients contained in the products they are bringing into their homes and exposing their families to. The worst part is that many of these products are being marketed as safe for use on the smallest and most vulnerable of us all - babies.

Big brand name products: Dangerously toxic to the young
Recently in the spotlight for marketing chemical heavy products to mothers for use on their children are several top baby shampoo products. For those of you who may have purchased it unknowingly, just check the ingredients label. Look for two potentially cancer causing chemicals - dioxane and quaternion-15 that release formaldehyde. Big name laundry detergents are also popular with moms because it is marketed as a healthier choice over regular detergents. And although these top-selling laundry detergent names imply that they should be free of harsh chemical ingredients, the truth is it also contains problematic levels of dioxane. Those are just a few examples of potentially dangerous products, but as consumers begin to question the brands they have grown to trust more and more, other products will be exposed as harmful.

The point is, rather than directly point the fingers at these companies and outright name them, it is easier to just have you take a look and see for yourself the risks you have been taking with your children without knowing it. Having you take the time to inspect the labels for yourself, educates you and makes you more aware of what's out there and safe to buy. The fact is, most of you do check the ingredients labels of the food you eat. Unfortunately, now you need to do that with other household products just to ensure your family is safe from needless and potential cancer-causing toxins.

Products that destroy your skin's natural defenses
The overwhelming number of chemicals you and your skin come into contact with on a daily basis is down right scary. Your body has a natural skin barrier made up of skin cells and lipids(fats) that protects you, but with the constant bombardment of chemicals it undergoes your skin begins to become damaged. A damaged skin barrier can lead to anything from dry skin to eczema. The best way to protect yourself and your skin from these chemicals is to try and avoid them and the products they are in. However, this approach can be a hard feat to accomplish. Your second option is to use a new dermatologist recommended and developed skin care product shielding lotion.

Shielding lotions: How you can now protect the health of your skin
Shielding lotion is a totally new type of lotion designed with your skin in mind. Shielding lotions work with your skin to help strengthen and restore its own natural barrier, offering you and your skin greater protection from toxic chemicals and irritants. Shielding lotions are able to heal dry problematic skin by sealing in vital natural oils that keep your skin soft.

"Shielding lotions are lotions that form a protective shield with the outer layer of skin and help keep out irritants and chemicals. They also allow the natural oils and moisture to remain in the skin so it can heal better. It is a big advantage that shielding lotions are light and go on without a greasy mess. Your skin needs help to keep out these moisture-robbing irritants. A fundamental difference between Shielding Lotions and traditional lotions are that Shielding Lotions enhance the skin's own natural protective abilities by turning the outer layer of skin into what could be described as a hydrating invisible shield making them many times more effective than mere protective lotions and moisturizing creams." --Dr. Brain Zogg, Board-Certified Dermatologist
