Why Cetaphil is Not so Great.

Here it is.  A well-written breakdown as to why Cetaphil is not the life saver so many think it is.  I love dissecting skincare products and Cetaphil was the next on my list but Well and Good NYC did such a great job I don’t feel like I have to!  Enjoy.

“Cetyl alcohol, an emollient used in many cosmetics, is essentially a wax…Propylene glycol is a common humectant (meaning it brings moisture from the air to the skin), but it also enhances product and chemical penetration into the skin and blood stream. Sodium lauryl sulfate is a foaming agent, and skin and eye irritant, that disturbs the healthy lipid barrier of the skin”

Thank you again Well and Good NYC!

    I have seen that many of my cosmetics contain Cetyl alcohol as an ingredient. I don’t have an idea whether it’s good or bad for the skin.

    Cynthia, your question prompted my latest post…details on what exactly Cetyl Alcohol is. I hope it helps inform your decision as to whether or not it is a worthwhile ingredient. Thanks for the inspiration!
