Hylunia Philosophy | Compare Products | Clinical Proof

Since 1988, Hylunia has been dedicated to researching and developing skin care products that minimize irritation, inflammation and free radical damage. It has been known for many years that free radical/DNA damage leads to premature aging and can potentially lead to cancer. A five year study conducted by a respected dermatologist and published in The Journal of The American Academy Of Dermatology linked contact dermatitis (inflammation) to fragrance/parfum, parabens, lanolin and its derivatives, dyes and propylene glycol.

Hylunia uses only the safest and purest United States Pharmaceutical grade and natural organic ingredients, specifically formulated to minimize irritation and inflammation at both clinical and sub-clinical levels. Hylunia products are ideal for all ages and skin types, especially those with sensitive skin. Our sister company, Hymed, offers products exclusively for physicians and is also free of all potential irritants.

A team of leading edge scientists came together in 1987 and discovered the following ingredients affect your health on a long term use:

Paraben: Preservatives such as parabens (Methyl, Ethyl, Propyl and Butylparaben) are found in 95% of all personal care products. Parabens mimic estrogen and are linked to breast cancer, lowered sperm count, lowered testosterone levels, testicular atrophy, infertility, increased testicular cancer and undescended testes.

Formaldehyde: Diazolidinyl Urea, Imidazolidinyl Urea and Quaternium 15 are widely used as preservatives. They decompose into formaldehyde and are considered carcinogens.

Grapefruit Seed Extract: The chemical structure of grapefruit seed extract is similar to that of paraben.

Phthalate: Dibutyl Phthalate is linked to cancer and is present in nail polish, perfume, soft plastics and skin care products.

Triclosan and Resorcinol: Used as an anti-bacterial agent and a preservative, these ingredients are known to be hormonal disrupters.

Laureth Sulfate and Polysorbate: Cleansing agents Sodium / Ammonium Laureth / Laurel Sulfate and Polysorbate may contain carcinogens such as Ethylene Oxide and Dioxane.Diethanolamine (DEA) Free: Cleansing agents such as DEA and its derivatives like DEA Sodium Laural Sulfate are considered carcinogens.

Propylene Glycol: Propylene Glycol, a commonly used solvent and humectant, is a known allergen and may be contaminated with carcinogens such as Ethylene Oxide and Dioxane.Pesticide Free: Pesticides, like parabens, are hormonal disrupters and are linked to cancer.

Dye: Some FD&C and D&C dyes are considered carcinogens.

Fragrance: Fragrance causes inflammation and slows the wound healing process. Additionally, almost 5,000 chemicals used in fragrance can react with other ingredients present in skin care products to become indirect carcinogens.

Nitrite: Nitrite present in skincare or food can react with other ingredients to form nitrosamine, a carcinogen.

Lead, Mercury and Arsenic: Heavy metals affect the nervous system and are considered neurotoxins.

Lanolin: Lanolin, derived from sheep, can be an endocrine disrupter because carcinogens such as Dioxan and DDT may be present in the grass that the sheep ingest.

Alcohol: Alcohol dries and irritates the skin which causes inflammation.

Cruelty: Hylunia products are not tested on animals.
