Most skincare products from large, commercial manufacturers have ingredients derived from petroleum, animal fat or animal sebum (such as musk, keratin, parabens, sulfates, and phthalates). These chemical ingredients can cause or worsen allergies, inflammations and chronic diseases and have even been linked to cancer.
Vegan cosmetics are made with only natural ingredients that are not tested on animals. Here’s the important part…they contain natural preservatives, emollients and fragrances from essential oils. Vegan cosmetics are carefully handcrafted and completely safe and the really good ones don’t even use natural products that are allergy forming (such as soy). These products are formulated for people that really care about the environment, high lifestyle standards and mind-body consciousness.

Did you know that throughout China, the use of facial masks for skincare is a huge craze? Thin plastic facial masks that look something like a hockey mask are usually coated with natural herbal ingredients and placed onto the face for several hours…sometimes overnight! The results are clear to see in the beautiful skin of the Chinese women. In the West, facial mask balms tend to be applied directly onto the skin without an outer “mask” to hold the ingredients onto the face. Either way, it’s no doubt that the facial mask is a key to cleansing and moisturizing that should not be overlooked.

What’s more important than finding that perfect anti-aging formula or the latest exotic ingredient from Brazil or China?
