Many companies claim to be 100% natural, but use synthetic preservatives or unnatural fragrances, or just market their product as being all natural. When purchasing any skin care products always be aware of the alcohol content and the harsh preservatives. Most chemical cosmetics contain alcohol (stearic acid, cytol alcohol), which draws collagen out of the skin, and as we get older we produce less collagen, making the skin less elastic. Also, alcohol strips the skin of all the vital nutrients and minerals which can cause the skin to become dehydrated, acneic, age prematurely, and become allergic.
Important: Many chemical beauty products contain Phthalates (a large family of industrial chemicals), these are found in many body lotions, hair products and deodorants. They can be harmful to women, especially pregnant women. Phthalates have been found to cause birth defects, such as malformation of the reproductive system of male offspring. For more information please read the research done by Jane Houlian, Charlotte Brody, Bryony Schwan "Not Too Pretty: Phthalates, Beauty Products & the FDA".
Many non-natural products contain animal products such as lanolin (sheep fat from the skin), spermaceti (whale fat).
Natural products have ingredients not only to treat different skin issues, but also to provide health and beauty to your skin.
Be careful, many companies give the appearance of being all natural but they are not! If they are not all natural they will not provide your skin with the proper nutrients, but will rather give your skin temporary benefits, while destroying your skin in the long-term.
Using all natural products will allow you to use all the gifts given to us by Mother Nature. We all know that no artificial substitute can replace the real thing!
The comparison between AYU products and non-natural skin care products is like eating an apple instead of a handful of chips. They may provide the same amount of calories, but in terms of nutrition an apple has 100 different nutrients, the chips probably contain some nutrients (from the potato) but have been destroyed by the deep frying process. The apple, like AYU products, will be provide immediate results and gratification, but will also sustain your well-being and improve your health.
