If you’d spent your life searching for the best anti aging moisturizer that you can get there’s some important facts that you need to know about moisturizers and skin care products generally, including why the best anti aging moisturizer isn’t actually a moisturizer.

The first thing to understand, even know it may come as a surprise to you, is that most big brand-name moisturizers, in fact most skin care products generally, contain ingredients which may be damaging to your health and which generally don’t work anyway. A prime example of this sort of ingredient found in many moisturizers is mineral oil.

Mineral oil comes from crude oil and is in fact a byproduct of crude oil distillation. It is found in many personal, skin care and beauty products and is a petrochemical product. Baby oil is mineral oil. But sadly there are a wide range concerns for our health from using mineral oil in products used on our skin.

You may be familiar with Material Safety Data Sheets. These sheets list a wide range of information about chemical ingredients including potential health concerns. If you look at a Material Safety Data Sheet for mineral oil you’ll notice that it lists health concerns for mineral oil as being a suspected carcinogen and also can cause irritation to the skin, eyes and lungs.

Why would any anti aging company use mineral oil in it’s products where it is a potential health concern? The reason is that mineral oil is exceedingly cheap, costing virtually nothing.

And mineral oil is not an effective moisturizer. There are no active moisturizing properties in mineral oil at all but it is included because it is supposed to form a layer of oil over the skin which prevent moisture loss. This works to some degree but it is much more effective to use ingredients in moisturizers which actively moisturize.

There’s plenty of natural ingredients that are extremely effective as moisturizers and which work well. For example babassu oil, Shea butter, avocado oil and olive oil all moisturize very well and are quite safe to use.

There are also other ingredients used in the best anti aging facial moisturizers which moisturize successfully by different methods. A fine example of one of these ingredients is called Cynergy TK which is sourced from the wool of sheep. Cynergy TK increases levels of elastin and collagen in the skin thereby improving the health of the skin, improving in elasticity and reducing wrinkles and increasing skin moisture levels. Healthier skin holds moisture levels more successfully.

Cynergy TK is found in very few products in the world because it is so expensive. The big name in care companies refused to use it for this reason. But one small niche skin care manufacturer does use it to produce what is the worlds best anti aging moisturizer even though it isn’t a moisturizer.

They don’t produce a moisturizer because all their products use the ingredients mentioned above so all their products moisturize equally well. What reason is there to produce a moisturizer when any and all of your products moisturize successfully anyway?

There’s some information that you may not have been aware of that may be useful to you in your quest for the best anti aging face moisturizer. The best moisturizer is not a moisturizer but a range of products all of which improve skin health which is the best way to improve skin moisture levels.
