Beware Dry Skin Care Products Advice: It May Not Be the Best

I recently read an article in which a dermatologist said that if you have really dry skin you have to use a really thick moisturizer. It was suggested that nothing you could buy in a bottle, rather than a jar, was thick enough. The author went on to recommend several products all of which were heavily laden with various combinations of petroleum, mineral oil, paraffin and other waxes, propylene glycol, and lactic acid that has been neutralized with ammonium hydroxide. In fact, the presence of these ingredients in dry skin care products is among the major reasons why the incidence of eczema and dry skin continues to grow and why thousands of doctors now recommend a shielding lotion for dry skin care instead of traditional creams and moisturizers.

In the 1930s, several women's eyes were damaged or blinded by Lash Lure, a coal-tar-based mascara. So in 1938, Congress passed the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act regulating chemical colorants.

Today, those FD&C dyes remain the only cosmetic ingredients regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It has banned nine others after investigating consumer complaints.

"If we had to approve every cosmetic, it would be mind-boggling," said Joan Lytle of the agency's North Brunswick office. "Cosmetics firms are responsible for substantiating their claims."

How well do they do that job? In the past 30 years, the industry's Cosmetic Ingredient Review Panel has completed studies on just 10 percent of some 10,500 synthetic, multisyllabic ingredients in products sold to us so we can cleanse, beautify and deodorize
