THE TRY: Understand ingredients

After two or three weeks I finally publish a post. The reason is that I have at the moment a time where I want to do things but can't do them, anything discourage me. When I come home, the first and last thing for this day is lying in bed and read a book. Homework, my blog and so on nothing I couldn't have do. It sounds really strange. Ok, I won't bore you with my silly reasons for not posting anything. Let's start with this post.

My nivea cream

Maybe you are a person who asked the same question like me, what the hell are these ingredients from the cosmetic products. There stand complicated words nobody will understand them without any chemistry knowledge. I have chemistry since two years but the only thing I've understand before my researches is Aqua. In Addition to that I've started my researches about These complicated names on the bottom of my Nivea cream. It was a surprise for me what effect the ingredients have. If you are interested, should read the following text. This is a German nivea cream but I think nivea have taken the international names for the ingredients.

Aqua:

As I said,I've knewn before the research. It's water. How spectacules.

Paraffinum Liquidum:

This one is a byproduct of petroleum production. In Addition to that it's an oil. I've learned in Chemistry that oil is a hydrocarbon with the typical characteristics of fat-loving and water hostile.

Furthermore it's antistatic and make your skin smooth and soft. Another effekt is that this substance protect your Skin however it also can clog your pores.

Cera Microcristallina:

It's also a hydrocarbon, but in another form than before. It is about a mineral wax named Ester ( in Germany). The Task for it is to bind the ingredients and dull the cream.

Glycerin:

It's also a substance I've learned in Chemistry thought I haven't known what it search in a cream. Glycerin has a simular effekt like the ingredients listed above. Furthermore is can dry out your skin.

Lancolin Alcohol: is a emulsifier for water and oil.

Phanthenol:

The effect for the Skin of panthenol is smothing, regenerative, protecting, elastic and promotional for cell neoplasm.

Magnesiumsulfate:

One question I asked myself when I'Ve read it is why they industry done in their creams a substance that make the hair easy to comb. It makes more sence in conditioner or Shampoo but not in a facial cream. Magnesiumsulfate spreads easily the cream in your face.

Decyloleate:

Is a substance that care your skin and supple it.

Octyldecanol:

The effect is also suppleness. Furthermore Octyldecanol is a solvent and parfum the cream.

Aluminium Sterate:

The Name says it it is a Aluminium compound which is water solube. These ingredient prevents sticking together, make durable the cream and it's a dye stuff for the cream.

One thing we should know about Aluminium in cosmetic products and in gerneral is that it could damage the nerves, you can get Skin irritations and can clog your pores.

Some studies says also that Aluminium could be carcinogenic. For this reason we should be careful with it.

Citricacid:

Let the cream looking good, because of the metal ion binding. Citricacid inhibit the smell of the cream and stabilized the ph value.

Magnesuim Sterate:

This Sterate also prevents sticking together of the whole cream. Furthermore it increases the water of the Skin and dye the cream.

Limonene:

Limonene it is like a parfum, inhabits the smell of the cream and cover these smell with another.

Geraniol:

You may also take it as Aroma for backing. Makeing a pleasant skin Feeling and parfum ther cream is the mainly effect of Geraniol.

Hydroxcitronneal:

It's a parfum that have the smell of flowers.

Linalool:

Linalool have a slightly effect like Deodorant for the user of the cream. Deo for the face? Strange Things exist.

Citronellol:

It's also a parfum.

Benzyl Benzoate:

It's a solvent with the side effect of cleaning the Skin from bacteria and parfum the Skin.

Cinnamyl alcohol:

Another really strange thing about the ingredients is this substance. It improve the taste of the cream.

The question is who eat a facial cream that it have to tast good? Have anybody of you at the other side of the world behinde the sceen done it? I doubt that but if yes, thell me if a cream taste good.

Parfum:

Ok, everybody know parfum.

This research have shown to me that the ingredients are an really important thing of the cosmetic industry. I mean in this Little one are a lot of things in that we don't need in creams. I buy a cream since I think it's good for my dry skin and there is a Need for. The ingredients Show to me that the mainly cream component is alcohol and any type of parfum. I'm disappointed because creams aren't as good as for the skin, I thought before the research. What do you think about this Little ingredients secret?
