Why Should Mice And Millions Of Women Consider Using A Natural Moisturiser?
There are some very powerful reasons why millions of American women, as well as mice, should be seriously using a natural moisturiser, and why so many women should junk the moisturiser they may have used today.
A recent study was set up to investigate whether caffeine could cause skin cancer in mice. As a part of that study each mouse had moisturiser applied to it’s skin 5 times a day for 17 weeks. The study is reported in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.
Although this was not being studied, the researchers were surprised to find that the application of these moisturisers on the skin of the mice “increased the total number of histologically characterized tumors by 69%”. In other words the mice that received the moisturiser had a very significant increase in their rate of skin cancer.
Lets look at this a little more and find out some more details, and in particular why the mice, and all those women in America who use moisturisers daily, should be using a natural moisturiser.
The moisturisers that were applied to the skin of the mice were Dermabase, Dermovan, Eucerin Original Moisturizing Cream (Eucerin), or Vanicream. Each of these moisturisers contains sodium lauryl sulphate and mineral oil.
