Beauty Tips For Body Care
What got me thinking about the excessive inclusion of essential oils was looking at Glossier’s rich moisturizer, and then seeing that under the few ingredients they push as being beneficial, lavender oil is listed as being known to “have skin calming properties”. Modern science have revealed that’s absolutely not true in terms of skincare. Here’s just a couple links talking about it- https://www.paulaschoice.com/expert-advice/skincare-advice/natural-skincare/essential-oils-for-skin.htmlhttps://www.marieclaire.com/beauty/a23622314/essential-oils-for-skin/.A direct quote from the bottom link is “Lavender oil is a popular kind of essential oil: It’s in every diffuser, detergent, mist, and bubble bath, and its revered for its stress-soothing, itch-fighting, anti-inflammatory properties. And yet, despite all of its street cred, lavender oil is a known skin allergen, even in a super-diluted form.”And no matter what, even if your skin personally isn’t sensitive and you feel like it could handle it, there’s still no reason to be putting a potential irritant into a product. That’s inviting more trouble for the user rather than fixing any original skin issues. I just think it’s really irresponsible of companies to be using essential oils like lavender in skincare at all, but to advertise it as a selling point is next level. I know Glossier doesn’t make super great skincare to begin with, but that’s no excuse for them not to try harder and be held accountable for bad advertising and false claims. And really I’m just trying to bring up my frustrations on the essential oil trend in skincare products in general. Does anyone else wish there were less potential irritants in products?
