Missing Ingredient in Skin Care Products

What is the missing ingredient you should always look for when purchasing and using skin care products? Think about the number of products you use everyday, or every week, that come in contact with your skin. It may be more than you realize.

Start from the top of your head and work your way down. Hair care products (yes, your scalp is skin too), facial creams and cosmetics, firming anti-wrinkle creams for neck and hands, soaps and moisturizers for the body, fragrances and colognes, deodorants and anti-perspirants, and even foot sprays and powders. On top of those there could also be sunscreens and bug repellents. With all those products in mind, have you looked at the ingredient lists lately of those products that you put on your skin? What you find will probably surprise you.                                                                                                                       

The Missing Ingredient

It has been estimated that we expose our skin to at least 300 chemicals every day. Most ingredients are innocuous such as oils or water. Others may be hard to pronounce, unnecessary, or questionable. However, there’s one very important ingredient that should be in all skin care products – yucca. Why yucca? Nature’s treasure from the desert contains resveratrol, yuccaols, and saponins that science has discovered can be very beneficial for protecting and soothing the skin. In several studies the resveratrol alone has shown the ability to fight against skin cancer and skin inflammations. The benefits don’t stop there though.

More Than Skin Deep

Besides being an incredible topical antioxidant, the resveratrol, when combined with the naturally occurring yuccaols and saponins in the yucca plant, is absorbed deeper into the skin and has been shown effective in easing arthritis pain and the ache of sore muscles. Going deeper still, certain studies have also indicated that the components of yucca may also help regulate blood sugar and cholesterol.

Remember when orange was the new black and retinol was the trending ingredient in skin care products. Well, now there’s one ingredient that should be in all skin care products that can benefit the young and young at heart alike – yucca. Yes, that prickly desert plant is proving to be more of treasure than we once thought.
