Ponds Dry Skin Cream - 3.9 Oz 110g

Product Information

According to the EWG , parabens can act like the hormone estrogen in the body and disrupt the normal function of hormone systems affecting male and female reproductive system functioning, reproductive development, fertility, and birth outcomes. How to Use Pond’s Cold Cream? The use of parabens in cosmetics and skin care products is controversial because there is conflicting research on the potential health consequences of long term exposure to parabens. There’s not a ton to write home about with this moisturizer with regards to the ingredients. They are rather simple, but will get the job done if basic daily hydration is what you're after: you’ve got classic emollients like mineral oil and go-to moisturizers like glycerin. I suppose the phrase "less is more" rings especially true with a product like this.

We’ll answer these questions and more in our Pond’s Cold Cream review. We’ll give you the details on all the Pond’s Cold Cream ingredients, including the research that supports (or doesn’t support) their use in skin care. That’s because all fragrance ingredients impart scent through a volatile reaction, and this natural reaction almost always causes a sensitizing reaction on skin. For example, one review says, “I have used Pond’s Cold Cream for over 45 years. It was always a very creamy texture. Now it is more of a Vaseline petroleum consistency, very disappointing I will not be using this product anymore. I hate the texture! Previously I would have given this product all the stars possible now I would give it 0 stars.” We are constantly reviewing the products that we sell, and this product has not been selling as well as expected for some time now. Unfortunately I have to confirm that we have made the difficult decision to discontinue this product, to make way for new ranges.”And another 1-star review says, “’I’ve used Pond’s for over 10 years in the dry winter months. It used to be a simple, soothing product. This last winter I bought my first container of the winter (which here in the upper Midwest lasts about half the year) and noticed it was different. I used it anyways and broke out everywhere I put it in little red, sore spots. I noticed the ingredients changed for the worse. What gives?! Why mess with a perfect product!?” Our Verdict

She didn’t say “this product has not been selling as well as expected since the 1940s”, but I got the gist. It turns out I really am one of the only millennial women to currently favour a WWII skincare regime. But, for now, I remain stubbornly optimistic. Cold cream has been going strong for almost 2,000 years; its popularity may have ebbed and flowed through the ages, but it has never disappeared, and it’s not about to start now. No, Pond’s is not cruelty free because Pond’s is owned by Unilever, a company that tests on animals when required by law. Is Pond’s Cold Cream Vegan? For example, one review says, “I’ve been using Ponds skin care for 35 years. I’m 54 years old now and still use it. Needless to say, it’s working very well for me!”

Want to know the worst part? The brand does not have to disclose which chemicals they use on the label. They are allowed to list this blend as “Fragrance (Parfum)” on the ingredient list. The use of synthetic fragrance ingredients poses even more of a risk because the brand can use a proprietary blend of chemicals to create the fragrance. On average, this consists of 30 to 50 chemicals (but it can have as much as 200 components).
