If the fearmongering were true, then we wouldn’t have to eat anymore. We could just rub food on our skin and then we would absorb all the nutrients directly from the skin to our bloodstream.

Saw some messages in the ResearchGate stating we could consider daltons and g/mol interchangeably. If so, and molar mass of SLES is 420g/mol, it could be potentially absorbed (which I do not think happens but am having a hard time to understand)... what am I missing?

The very short contact time and low input of SLES means not much gets absorbed. Please don't forget contact time has a big impact on whether a substance gets absorbed or not. I hope this helps, happy formulating!

There are strict regulations in place over the use of fragrances - and essential oils, I must point out, as they are extremely similar chemically speaking - and even stricter regulations over the use of preservatives to ensure safe use by consumers. Remember the tinier the substance, the further it has to travel compared to its size (the pin in the soccer field analogy) - just because it is small doesn’t mean it will get through. The regulations are put in place by considering size, degree of penetration and metabolic consequences should penetration occur. Where regulatory authorities have set limits, they have set them to ensure safe use by consumers, even when considering cumulative totals on daily use and multiple exposures. In other words, you do not need to be concerned about the safety of fragrances or the preservatives used in cosmetics as they have been extensively investigated to ensure safe use in cumulative daily exposures. Other considerations need to be made in providing you an answer, such as the formulation base used and other ingredients present. Serums typically have poor delivery as they have low or no content of amphiphilic substances. You can enjoy your products with confidence where the manufacturer and brand has complied with cosmetic regulations.

Are there any cumulative effects of these cosmetics? Could there be any side effects after long term of usage?

All of the products listed on the absorption chart we use everyday, if not multiple times every single day. I'm as curious about nutrient based products as the ones that contain harsher chemicals.

How long does it takes skincare ingredients to get absorbed into skin? Like kojic acid or alpha arbutin. Can i wash my face after applying kojic acid cream for 1 or 2 hours? Will the product has done its function in 1-2 hours? Or do we have to keep it on our skin for 4-5 hours to get maximum absorption?

It depends a lot on the formula and if penetration enhancers have been used. You could also conduct product evaluations to ensure the required performance for your products before you launch.

Some warnings need to be given for too much optimism that may result in neglect. We do know quite a lot of chemicals that actually do penetrate skin quite fast. That may not be the common chemicals in cosmetic formulations, true. But be carefull to build your reasoning too much only on the fact that skin is a protective barrier. It has quite some 'specific leaks'. Pharmaceutical companies producing pharmaceuticals as cream are well aware of this. Occupational hygienists emphasizing use of gloves do as well.

If 10% or less is penetrating into our bloodstream isn't that still really bad for you? I'm not talking about the risk of cancer, i'm talking about the quality of your health, 10% still sounds like a lot to me surely that will have detrimental effects?

@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401

2 жыл бұрын

Please note the video says less than 10%, and it totally depends on so many other factors, like size and skin compatibility - and that is just the outer layer of the epidermis too. The biggest challenge we have as cosmetic chemists is to get actives to the lower layers of the epidermis where they have their whitening or anti-ageing benefits, for example - which is why so many consumers out there aren’t totally happy with the results of their products, because they can’t reach the site of best activity. Products like your shampoo and conditioner, for example, don’t penetrate at all because they aren’t even present on the surface of the skin long enough. Even if they were, they’d get itchy and irritate the very outer layers of the skin so you’d want to wash them off. Skin creams are designed to get some penetration to the mid layers in many cases (epidermis) and often do achieve this, for a lasting moisturising effect. Beyond the mid layers, it is very hard to get small actives any further.

Except in America we don’t nearly the amount regulations like the EU and no testing required

Loved this. Here's my thought: cosmetics need to go back to a 'tribal supply' where communities make and supply them to their people using artisan labour that cares about natural ingredients and botanicals from the area (thus learning what their skin's needs are and actually providing custom solutions). That means, amongst other things, using preservatives that are gentler (products would be used quicker, supply is near, no need to preserve for long periods of time). Educating people to treat their skin as well as other things in their lives they worry about would be a must, of course. The idea here is not that we put a stop to current methods of production as much as recognising there's a general need to reconnect with nature (not just with skincare, think nutrition) and activate that very power (we've all got it) from within. If we use cosmetics the way we take a headache pill we don't really get the true benefits of the 'whole' plant and its wisdom. There's no connection with the source of the product, the product becomes a soul-less means to an end. In other words, a dead product. Life has been sucked out of it because the consumer uses it without really knowing how was it really made, who (person) made it, where it was made and why was it made (what did they speak about at the business meeting when pushing the product?) etc etc. More and more people are interested in making natural skincare and I've seen how this is growing, over the years, and if many people learn, we can make this happen. Thanks again for a TRULY FANTASTIC video.

She is speaking about absorbing into the blood stream. While I feel absorption into the top layer of skin is bad enough. To suggest Formaldehyde is safe to put in products because it cant reach the blood, is silly, because its absorbed into the top layer of skin and is a toxic chemical. Why SHOULD we use it? It matters whats in your products and the appearance of skin is absolutely affected by products you use, your diet, and the way it is cared for.
