In the world of skincare, we are seeing so many chemically altered products that make skincare tough and, in some cases, make people’s skin worse. To make things worse, many of these skincare products have contaminants and toxic substances products by even the simpler things like the fragrance. 

A study shows us that since 2009, 595 cosmetics manufacturers have been using chemicals that have been linked to things like cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. That’s where the importance of sourcing ingredients comes in. 

In this blog, we are covering the importance of why ingredient sourcing matters in skincare and why Shâwelle remains committed to purity, sustainability, and natural sources. 

Dangers of Chemicals in Skincare

While skincare is a vital part of most people’s lifestyle, not all products are created equal. Oftentimes, many skincare items are packed with synthetic chemicals that guarantee quick fixes, but instead, they have long-term risks to them.

From getting your skin damaged by skin barrier penetration to getting complex diseases like skin cancer, there’s just so much we need to take into consideration. When it comes to the most harmful synthetic ingredients that are harmful, there are some of them:

  • Parabens: Parabens are used as preservatives and can cause hormonal disbalance that could produce the effects of estrogen. This gives birth to many complications, such as a risk of skin cancer. 
  • Sulfates: Sulfates can take away natural oils, causing dryness and irritation to your skin. 
  • Fragrances (Synthetic): Synthetic fragrances could also trigger allergies, headaches, and sometimes, even respiratory issues. To make things worse, they have some chemicals that are not even mentioned on the box sometimes.
  • Artificial Colors: While the packaging for most skincare products does look enticing, artificial colors aren’t really good for the skin since they are linked to many other issues, like skin cancer. 
  • The short term effects of these chemicals might be irritation and breakouts but when we include the long term effects, it could lead to problems like skin barrier damage, premature aging, and hormonal disruption, which is already common in so many teenagers. 

    But that’s where the power of ingredient sourcing comes into play. You see, at Shâwelle, we make sure that our customers know exactly what they’re getting and what they can expect from our products. To make it simpler, let’s take a deep dive into our own ways of restoring skin and making it better.
