Skin Care Ingredients

As well as causing low-level irritation when applied topically to the skin, some skin care ingredients can have a systemic build up in the body as they are able to be absorbed by the skin.
Systemic toxicity means that when a substance is absorbed into the body, it can then travel through the body by means of the bloodstream and can therfore reach the major body organs.
Studies have shown that the levels of the ingredients can build up over time and therfore have an accumulative effect on the body. Skin care ingredients are often tested at high levels for a short period of time and not studied for their long term accumulative toxicity.
It is therefore advisable to keep your skin care products as free from ingredients that may be toxic in the long term – the Skinsaviour range is free from ingredients that may be cause for concern. Visit – http://skinsaviour.com.au
