The Case For Oil as a Moisturizer Instead Of Cream

IS YOUR SKIN CREAM REALLY THAT BAD?

Would you be shocked to know that years of using skin cream has actually aged your skin?

Why? Because CREAM IS TERRIBLE for your skin.

Creams contain ingredients you don’t want or need on your face:

Here's How Cream Works:

Basic creams are made with waxes, water based ingredients, emollients and emulsifiers. Without chemicals, cream would sit on top of the skin, rather than being fully absorbed. Because of this, most cream based moisturizers contain abrasive acids and chemicals to exfoliate the skin and make it feel soft. This breaks down the skin’s protective barrier and softens the skin with EXFOLIATION instead of MOISTURIZING.

Chemically exfoliating your skin on a daily basis exposes your skin to sun & wind damage, because it strips the skin of the natural protective barrier, causes long term damage by never giving the skin a chance to heal.

Over time, your skin gets STARVED OF NUTRITION from the inside, and it gets STRIPPED DOWN on the outside.

‘ACTIVE’ ingredients and preservatives are used in cream- these ingredients are usually chemicals that may have great short term skin benefits, but long term many common ones are linked to cancer, heart disease, endocrine disruption birth defects & more.

PLUS:

PRESERVATIVES

Many of which are extremely harmful, dangerous chemicals causing reproductive damage, birth defects, skin damage & linked to CANCER

PETROLIUM

Seals and suffocates the skin LIKE A PLASTIC COATING

FRAGRANCE

In the highest class of CARCINOGENIC chemicals & endocrine disruption

AND THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING...

Do you now understand that SKIN CREAM is a CHEMICAL COCKTAIL for the skin, but not nutrition?

Even 'natural' creams have many of these harmful ingredients and are allowed in Certified Organic products. Plus, there’s no guarantee that you have safe cosmetics because the skincare industry lacks regulations.

WE SUFFER FROM THESE CHEMICALS!

BIOACCUMULATION

Bioaccumulation is what happens when these chemicals accumulate in your cells and make you sick with diseases that are usually dismissed by doctors as autoimmune disease,leaky gut, hormonal imbalances, fibromyalgia to cancer. But the root of it all stems from toxic chemical overload.

CHEMICAL BURNS

Most of these chemicals are so harmful in full strength that cosmetic chemist in laboratories have to use respiratory masks, and full body suits or they could risk developing a chemical burn on their skin. So what makes a small amount ok for my skin? They are not safe in any amounts.

HERE ARE A FEW OF THE TOXIC INGREDIENTS THAT COULD BE IN YOUR SKIN CREAM:

Pthalates, Parabens, Polyethelyne Glycol (PEG),Formaldehyde, Oxybenzone, Artificial Fragrance (Parfum), Sodium Lauryl Sulfateare just to name a few of the ingredients to avoid in skin care.

Besides being bad for your skin, these TOXIC CHEMICALS can lead to SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES, not just skin related problems. For years, you’ve been using cream and sunscreen on your skin, not knowing that at BEST, they did nothing positive, but at worst, THEY ARE AGING YOU AND MAKING YOU SICK FROM THE INSIDE AND OUT.

Second, You Need To Understand Oils.

OILS ARE EFFECTIVE MOISTURIZERS:

"In your late 30s, wrinkles suddenly look deeper because the skin's natural oils decrease, the moisture barrier breaks down, and the skin dries out. Most creams contain a little oil, but not enough to make a big difference in water loss. Because oils are lipophilic, or fat loving, they pass though the lipid layer of the skin faster, preventing water loss and plumping skin with moisture more effectively.”

-Dermatologist David Colbert, ALLURE MAGAZINE

“Facial oils are an excellent way to get antioxidants and vitamins quickly into the skin, Oils are absorbed quickly, and soften the appearance of fine lines.”

-Celebrity dermatologist Dr. Gervaise Gerstner

SCARLETT OLSON, founder of SOCO Botanicals, Austin, TX.

"Using oil instead of cream is a little counterintuitive. People have to take a chance and try it out, but when they do, they get the results. People ask me if it will make their skin oily or break out. It doesn't at all. In fact, it does the opposite! It soaks into the skin in about 10 minutes, leaving no greasy residue and it does not clog pores- it moisturizes and balances oily skin when it absorbs. In fact, many oily skin clients are our biggest fans, because it works better than products that dry out the skin, which causes the skin to produce more oil.

My mission when I created SOCO Botanicals was to create the highest quality face oil blend on the market, with the best skin superfoods available: Sea Buckthorn Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil, Raspberry Seed Oil, Neroli Essential Oil, Jojoba Oil. I found the best quality sources for these ingredients, and it took 3 years to even find a manufacturer who was willing to make the product with such a high standard.

Most cosmetic manufacturers I met with not only refused to work with natural ingredients, but they had terrible skin themselves, from using their own toxic products.

"I believe SKINCARE SHOULD BE SIMPLE & NATURAL. Let’s go back to what humans used originally: OIL."

So this is our gift to you: Years of experience and research to create the HIGHEST QUALITY, MOST CONCENTRATED, ANTI AGING ELIXIR that will change your skin forever. It is affordable, yet powerfully concentrated with everything the skin craves,

A wonderful moisturizer! I was initially skeptical about using an oil for a facial moisturizer, but decided to try it: the reviews were favorable and I am a big fan of essential oils. What a wonderful surprise! I have been using the product for two months and love it. The oil absorbs quickly with no greasy feeling and has made my skin soft, and younger feeling and looking. I now recommend this to friends, family and coworkers. Thank you for such a healthy and effective product.
