MINERAL OIL: A mixture of refined liquid hydrocarbons derived from petroleum, mineral oil is the stabilizing ingredient of many skin formulas. Mineral oil forms a film on the skin, blocking the pores and interfering with normal skin. It may, therefore, not only dry the skin, but also be a contributing cause of blemishes.

PETROLEUM: (PETROLATUM) Petroleum products such as Vaseline, etc., do not penetrate the skin, but sit on the surface blocking natural respiration, excretion, and absorption of other nutrients.

BEESWAX: Beeswax is a sticky sealant. It attracts pollutants, dirt and bacteria and glues them onto the skin as it seals the pores.

LANOLIN: An oily excretion of sheep, lanolin is a common lubrication ingredient in skin formulas. Extracted from the wool, lanolin has been indicated as a cause of allergic skin reactions in sensitive people.

COLLAGEN: An animal product, collagen is added to cosmetics as a moisturizing agent. Collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin and can therefore clog pores, and in some cases cause allergic reactions.

ARTIFICIAL COLORS: Formulated chemically from a wide variety of sources, artificial colors are known to cause allergic reaction in some people.

ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCES: Chemical fragrances have been known to create allergic skin reactions and photosensitivity in some people.

ANIMAL PRODUCTS: Animal products, except Honey and Royal Bee Jelly, are not used in Pure Swiss Skin Care.

SOLVENT ALCOHOL: Many skin care products contain solvent alcohol in the form of propyl, Isopropyl (petroleum derivatives) or SD Alcohol (specially denatured ethyl alcohol). These alcohols are very drying and strip the skin of its natural pH level.

BAR SOAP: Strips the skin's protective acid mantle due to the alkaline level in soap. Waxes used to keep soap in a shape, such as a bar, and are very pore plugging, and form a seal on the skin keeping out moisture and interfering with respiration.
