Women and men around the world owe the vitality of their skin to moisturizers. However, the seemingly unobjectionable cosmetics, moisturizers, could be a cause for developing skin cancer, suggests a recent study, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.

But are the results of the study a presume to be scared of moisturizers? Even though the study has surprised one and all, many have questioned the validity of the study and have expressed that there's no need to worry for now.

Mice

As always is the case, the mice used in the experiment have hogged all the limelight, when four randomly chosen moisturizing creams were applied on bald mice. Which later caused tumors to fabricate fast on these mice. And the mice not treated with moisturizers didn't show this effect.

The fact that bald mice were experimented upon and not humans means, that the findings aren't exactly applicable to humans. And the authors themselves put forth this very viewpoint. an additional one presume that goes against the study is that type of skin cancer found in humans is pretty distinct than those found in animals.

Further, one of the cream's manufacturers have been skeptical about the study and have opined that their goods has been used for over 30 years with great results. At the same time, there are pointers that the components, namely mineral oil and sodium lauryl sulfate, known to cause irritation might be the culprits. Because when they were removed from the moisturizers the tumors didn't seem to fabricate so rapidly.

The non-melanoma skin cancer that developed is quite tasteless in humans, and for the most part is curable surgically and with cancer drugs And it is fatal only rarely.
While, there's a lot of skepticism surrounding the study's findings, the findings can't be thoroughly shunned outright. Maybe the best option is to wait and watch as more study throws light on the issue. As the author's of the study have stated that this study should encourage experts to verify and have more conclusive evidence about the cancer risk moisturizers pose to humans.
