How to choose non toxic moisturizer?

Proper non-toxic moisturizing prevents dry, flaky skin, and is the first line of defense against fine lines and wrinkles. Typically, people reach for a moisturizer when they live in a dry climate or when winter rolls around, but dry skin can be anywhere, anytime issue.

Seasonal dry skin can be tricky. While products are essential to keeping the dry skin at bay, don't forget about the other things you can do for it, too: drink lots of water; mind your nutrition; get your blood pumping; get plenty of rest; stay out of the direct blast of artificial heat, and don't spend too much time in a hot shower. With a mindful approach to skincare and life balance, your skin will remain healthy, happy, and looking its best in bad weather.

What should you look for in a non-toxic moisturizer?  

It’s important to know that while it is required for all ingredients to be listed on packaging labels, it is not required for them to be listed on a manufacturer’s website. A good cosmetic company promise is that they will always list all their ingredients on both,  website and product packaging, though they list the common ingredient name.

Facial moisturizers are classified as a cosmetic, which means there are very few marketing regulations imposed upon companies. Walkthrough the personal care aisles and you may be tempted to pick a moisturizer boasting argan or coconut oil on its label. While these are great ingredients, it is important to not take them at face value; there could be other not-so-great ingredients lurking in the formula. A quick survey of common moisturizers returned a long list of artificial and potentially toxic ingredients sitting right next to the argan and the coconut oil.

How to Spot a Toxic Product without having to memorize complicated language:

Scan the ingredients for toxic red flag warnings, like fragrance (phthalates) and artificial colors (carcinogens). If those are in the mix, there is a good chance other toxic ingredients are in there, too.

Avoid products that contain ingredients that start with Ethyl-, Methyl-, Butyl-, or Propyl-, which tend to be parabens and glycols.
