By increasing skin hydration – over hydrated skin smooths out wrinkles.

Marketing name, like nutraceuticals.

Yes.

>Lift Powder: Corn Starch, Albumen, Methylparaben, Silica, Whole Dry Milk, Panthenol, Allantoin.

Presumably designed to stretch the skin as it dries.

>Marketing name, like nutraceuticals.

…and pharmetics.

A made up portmanteau word to describe a product with made up performance claims.

is watching daytime tv bad for you?

yes

nighttime tv is bad for you as well

They claim to care for your skin, but they’re basically moisturisers. Dry skin ages you plus, if it’s bad enough, can allow infection to creep in.

It’s a marketing name designed to sound more sciency than cosmetics but as they’re not actually proven to work, they can’t call them pharmaceuticals.

Hells yeah, unless you’re watching something funny because laughing is good for you. There you go, bottle funny and you’ll make a fortune.

Also, most people probably pronounce it “cosme-cuticles”, which makes it sound cute.

Anyone who would consider pronouncing it like that probably looked at it and thought, “Word too long, didn’t read”.

>>>bottle funny and you’ll make a fortune.

Yeah it’s called alcohol.

Well the hair’s cut. And Tom the unreliable antique shop man won’t be delivering the dresser until Saturday for some reason.

And I’ve just had to tell myself to stop whining, after whining because the new moisturiser bottle wouldn’t open properly (“Why do I always have to get the fucked-up one? How come other people can buy simple things like this that work as they’re supposed to but I can’t, whine, whine whine”)

That was for Chat, whine grumble mutter moan

Egg custard! Well, corn starch, albumen and milk is custard. So it’s custard with some other bits.

That reminds me- why are parabens suddenly the bad guy? A lot of ads now explicitly state the product contains no parabens.

Up until quite recently parabens were considered to be safe preservatives. Eg,
From http://www.cdc.gov/biomonitoring/Parabens_BiomonitoringSummary.html
CDC said:

Human health effects from parabens at low environmental doses or at biomonitored levels from low environmental exposures are unknown. Parabens were not found to be acutely toxic nor was toxicity noted when they were administered for several weeks by oral or intravenous routes to animals (CIR, 2008; Matthews et al., 1956). In animal studies, parabens were found to be non-allergenic, and they did not sensitize skin (Adler-Hradecky and Kelentey, 1960; Sokol, 1952). When applied topically, parabens may produce irritation in previously sensitized or damaged skin in humans and in laboratory animals; sensitized individuals may also react to parabens (Aeling and Nuss, 1974; Fisher et al., 1971; Marzulli et al., 1968; Smith, 1991). In addition, chronic skin reactions have been reported, including urticaria and angioedema (Soni et al., 2001). Despite evidence that parabens are non-allergenic, sporadic human cases have been reported of anaphylactic reactions following paraben exposure (CIR, 2008; Nagel et al., 1977).

At levels producing maternal toxicity, parabens were not teratogenic in animal studies (Daston, 2004; Elder, 1984, Moriyama et al., 1975). Butyl paraben may alter male reproductive organ size and sperm numbers and activity, but animal studies have been inconsistent (Fisher et al, 1999; Oishi, 2001; Taxvig et al, 2008). Other parabens have not shown reproductive toxicity in animal studies (CIR, 2008; Shaw and deCatanzaro, 2009). The estrogenic activity of parabens is extremely weak: butyl paraben, the most potent of the group, is 10,000 to 100,000 times less potent than naturally occurring estradiol (Golden et al., 2005). Safety assessments of maximum estimated paraben exposures have concluded that estrogenic effects are unlikely in humans. (CIR, 2008; Elder, 1984; Golden, 2005; Soni et al., 2001 and 2002).

However, they may be carcinogenic.
From http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18484575
pubmed said:

This toxicology update reviews research over the past four years since publication in 2004 of the first measurement of intact esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (parabens) in human breast cancer tissues, and the suggestion that their presence in the human body might originate from topical application of bodycare cosmetics. The presence of intact paraben esters in human body tissues has now been confirmed by independent measurements in human urine, and the ability of parabens to penetrate human skin intact without breakdown by esterases and to be absorbed systemically has been demonstrated through studies not only in vitro but also in vivo using healthy human subjects.
Using a wide variety of assay systems in vitro and in vivo, the oestrogen agonist properties of parabens together with their common metabolite (p-hydroxybenzoic acid) have been extensively documented, and, in addition, the parabens have now also been shown to possess androgen antagonist activity, to act as inhibitors of sulfotransferase enzymes and to possess genotoxic activity.
With the continued use of parabens in the majority of bodycare cosmetics, there is a need to carry out detailed evaluation of the potential for parabens, together with other oestrogenic and genotoxic co-formulants of bodycare cosmetics, to increase female breast cancer incidence, to interfere with male reproductive functions and to influence development of malignant melanoma which has also recently been shown to be influenced by oestrogenic stimulation.

“Eureka”!!! I’m gunner be rich, I’ve just invented “Wankerceuticals” my revolutional new products contain NO, repeat NO! protons, neutrons or electrons with only traces of some sub atomic particles.
