In the event that title has you wondering a little then continue reading, because mice with skin cancer have lots to do with natural skincare.

A study has been done where 4 moisturizers, each containing Sodium Laurel Sulphate (SLS), were placed on the skin of rodents five times each day for 17 weeks.

As a consequence of the research it was concluded that the application of these moisturisers to the skin of the rodents caused a statistically significant increase in the rate of cancer of the skin in the mice who had the moisturizers applied, and in particular that this application "increased the total number of histologically characterized tumors by 69%".

What surprised the researchers was that they were not actually researching the connection between using those moisturisers on skin cancer in rodents, they were really researching something different. However they were so astonished at the results that they then ran the same test using moisturisers that didn't contain Sodium Laurel Sulphate, and found no statistical increase in the incidence of cancer of the skin in the mice.

This really is scary stuff. Sodium Laurel Sulphate can be found in many of our personal care products such as shampoos and soaps along with many moisturisers.

The possible health risks of SLS have been recognized for a while. As far back as 1983 the Journal of the American College of Toxicology described a study about the effects of Sodium Laurel Sulphate on rabbits, and reported irritation to the eyes, serious irritation to the skin and at a concentration of 15% around 20% of rabbits exposed to Sodium Laurel Sulphate died.

You would expect therefore that none of our personal products like moisturisers would include Sodium Laurel Sulphate. The unfortunate fact is that they do, together with a number of other dangerous chemical ingredients.

Equally depressing is that we now have quite effective natural moisturisers obtainable such as avocado oil and macadamia nut oil which are highly successful at moisturising skin and which are completely safe. However the big name anti aging companies don't use them because they are more expensive.

In fact so many potentially dangerous chemical ingredients are now found in such a wide range of our personal products such as soaps and shampoos, makeup and skincare products such as moisturizers that we now have entire organisations set up to combat this.

There is a powerful move happening amongst consumers who're now turning away from well known products containing these chemical ingredients toward much safer, and in many cases more successful safe and effective skin care products that do not include potentially dangerous chemical ingredients.

Of course where you can find shoppers voting with their feet there are businesses catering for this need by producing high quality natural skin care products that don't contain such chemical components as Sodium Laurel Sulphate.
