Since I do not have a negative reaction with my current moisturizer, does that mean it is safe?

This does not necessarily mean that the product is safe for you. What we do know is that some of the most common ingredients in skin care industry have been linked to allergies, reproductive issues and other unwanted effects. We know that these ingredients eventually accumulate within our bodies as they are absorbed through our skin. An ingredient may not cause an immediate negative reaction after you apply it to your skin - however that does not mean the culmination of that ingredient over time will not have a harmful effect.

Yes this is true. Material absorbed by your skin through a skin care product is eventually fed into the bloodstream. The skin is the body's largest organ and has amazing absorption abilities. Most people view their skin as a barrier to the internal body, but the reality is our skin is like a sponge: completely soaking up the environment around it.

You'll be doing your body a great favor. Healthy skincare is something that is so easy to choose. Just do it - its just a matter of choice.
