I would like to ask for your opinion on some skin care products as I am not yet fully aware of the harmful ingredients from Ray Peat's point of view and I am trying to review a line of products that I am familiar with. Thanks in advance.
The first is a tranexamic acid cream:
> Aqua (Water), Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Glycereth-7 Triacetate, Sodium Polyacrylate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Bisabolol, Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Theobroma Grandiflorum (Cupuaçu) Seed Butter, Alpha-Arbutin, Phospholipids, Panthenol, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Phytic Acid, Disodium EDTA, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ethylhexylglycerin, BHT, Tocopherol.
< niacinamide, cupuaçu (is a type of palm fruit, saturated fat) are peaty. Unfortunately there is sunflower oil though, what about the other ingredients? This Tranexamic Acid (Cyklokapron) is used to stop bleeding, could this have adverse effects on the skin?
The other product is an mandelic acid cream:
> Áqua, mandelic acid, alpha-arbutin, allantoin, hydroxyethylcellulose, ammonium hydroxide, sodium benzoate, propylene glycol, disodium edta.
< I couldn't find any information about mandelic acid on this forum, so I think it's important to ask about it. I found this site explaining a little about it:
“Mandelic acid is a natural brightener. It inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production to prevent pigment formation. It also helps to fade existing pigment by increasing cell turnover to disperse excess pigment from the skin’s surface.”
And the final product is a glycolic acid cream:
> aqua, glycolic acid, stearic acid, niacinamide caprylic/capric triglyceride, bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, glycerin, sodium benzoate, cetyl alcohol, prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil,, polysorbate 60, ammonium hydroxide, cyclopentasiloxane, bisabolol, xanthan gum, phenoxyethanol, cetearyl alcohol, ethylhexylglycerin, disodium edta.
again thanks in advance
