美肌產品質素與成份安全性

您有想過怎樣定義“質素”嗎? 一般來說,我們常說的“高質素”及“低質素”,又是什麼?您們量度“質素”的準則又是什麼? 由名牌產品以至到快餐店,每個品牌背後都有一套維持質素的哲學。

現在就讓我們認識怎樣去尋找有質素的健康及美容產品。在市面上現時有很多有機及天然的產品。若您對草本成份安全性沒有認知,您便不能正確地選購安全的護膚品。

您對美容產品的標籤是怎樣釐定嗎? 產品的標籤一定要列明所有有關產品的資料。通常最容易遺漏的資料是草本成份的安全性。您可能會在產品標籤上看見類似“不含有害化學物質”的聲稱,但您有否看過關於草本成份安全檢測的資料? 當一間公司於護膚品採用草本成份,您又怎樣知道那些草本植物沒有被污染,沒有受真菌或細菌感染, 或沒有天然植物毒素呢? 只有有良好研發背景的公司才有能力及技巧處理這些問題。若那間公司沒有標明成份的安全認證,那您大可對那些產品質素作出保留了。

一件高質素的草本美容產品應進行過草本成份安全測試。以後每逢購買任何美容產品,最好問清楚美容顧問關於成份安全檢測的資料。畢竟,每當您做多一步,都是為自己長遠的肌膚健康投資。


Beauty Product Quality and Ingredient Safety


Have you ever thought about how to define “quality”? In general, we always say “good quality” and “bad quality”. But what are they? Do you know what your quality parameter is? From designer goods to fast food corner, every brand has its own way to maintain its quality.

Now let's us understand how to look for quality in health and beauty products. These days the market is offering a wide range of organic or natural products. Without understanding about herbal ingredient safety, you cannot have the right product.
 
Do you ever understand the format of beauty product labelling? Product label must describe all about the product to the consumer. The most common thing missing from the label is herbal ingredient safety. We have seen product clams using no harmful chemicals, but have you seen products claiming that their ingredients are checked for safety? When a company uses herbal ingredients, how do they know that the herbs are not polluted,not infected with fungus and bacteria, or do not contain any natural plant toxins? Only good companies with proper research and development background have skills and are able to address this key issue. If ingredient safety is not addressed, you can keep your reservation about the product quality.

A herbal beauty product with good quality should come with a herbal ingredient safety test. From now on, whenever you buy any beauty products, it is better to ask the beauty consultant about ingredient safety. After all, you are investing in a long-lasting beauty for yourself.

做個精明消費者

今時今日,市面上有很多健膚及健髮產品,每隔一段時間又有新產品湧現。有很多時候,每當一個品牌活躍於市場兩三年,您可能會發現會有報告指出某些品牌產品被驗出含有有害物質, 例如致癌物。我們是時候反思一下,是我們當初淪為了那些品牌效應的犧牲者,還是我們在選擇產品時不夠精明?

為了我們的生活質素,我們要成為健康關注消費者(Wellness Aware Consumer),注意所買的產品對環境及自身健康是否安全。

要成為健康關注消費者,我們要...

-核對產品廣告,文章及優惠上所用的字句及聲稱
-檢測產品由受到國際認同的組織發出的質素及安全証明
-留意產品標籤上有沒有有害化學物,添加劑,防腐劑,及致癌物質
-閱讀產品的生產日期,成份及營養資料
-查核品牌的公司背景
-留意近日市場上對不同產品及致癌物質等等的化學成份的調查
-不要盡信廣告上的聲稱,必需要有科學証明

JOVEES是一個關注環境及消費者生活質素的品牌,我們鼓勵消費者對生活方式及所用的健膚產品同樣作出精明的選擇。

我們會在今個星期六下午於旺角西洋菜南街舉行Roadshow,介時會送上免費贈品及推廣屈臣氏優惠。跟我們親身會面,深入認識JOVEES這個綠色品牌。


Be a Smart Consumer

Today, there are so many skin care and hair care products while new products keep appearing in the market over a certain period. Most of the time, after a brand is active in the market for 2 or 3 years, you may notice that according to some reports, some kind of harmful ingredient, such as carcinogen, is found in some products of some brands. It is time for us to think about whether we are the victims of branding effects or whether we are not smart in enough when choosing products.

For the sake of the quality of our life, we need to become a wellness aware consumer. We have to beware whether the products we buy are safe for the environment and ourselves.

To be a wellness aware consumerwe have to...

-Check words and claims which appear in product advertisements, articles, and promotions.
-Check for quality and safety certifications from internationally approved organizations.
-Watch out for harmful chemicals, addictive, preservatives and carcinogen.
-Read the manufacture date, ingredients and nutritional facts.
-Do some background check on company background of the product brand.
-Pay attention to the latest research about different products and chemicals like carcinogen.
-Do not believe everything product advertisements claims. Everything should be supported by scientific proof.

JOVEES cares about the environment and consumers' quality of life. We encourage consumers to make a smart choice of lifestyle and products.

In this Saturday, we are going to have a roadshow in Mong Kok Sai Yeung Choi Street. We will give away freebies and have promotion about Watsons. Meet us and know more about this green brand JOVEES.

染髮安全嗎?


市面上的染髮產品種類繁多,除了顏色、包裝、 品牌和價錢之外,會否有其他因素去考慮呢? 有朋友會關心的是染髮劑有否含有害的致癌物質他們會選擇不含阿摩尼亞的染髮劑。 但不含阿摩尼亞的染髮劑是否表示安全呢?


阿摩尼亞是什麼?
  • 在染髮劑的作用是製造鹼性的環境
  • 有強烈的氣味,可刺激呼吸系統
  • 染髮劑不含阿摩尼亞,看似會減少刺激性,但一般會用乙醇胺替代,而乙醇胺也是刺激物質,雖然氣味沒有阿摩尼亞強烈,但有毒性,如用量較多,仍可能對健康構成威脅

除此之外, 一般染髮劑都含有苯二胺(p-Phenylene diamine﹐即PPD)、阿摩尼亞(Ammonia)、雙氧水(Hydrogen peroxide)﹐還有具殺傷力的乙醇胺(ethanolamine)和對位甲苯二胺(toluene diamine﹐簡稱PTD)。這些物質是能引起皮膚過敏反應和多種疾病的有害物質,有小部份人更會有可能引起過敏性皮炎,而長期使用會可能引致癌症。

那怎麼辦?? 難道要完全不染髮??

  • 盡量減少染髮的次數,最好最多1個月一次,染完後應及時洗頭,以免頭皮累積藥物
  • 染髮或燙髮最好只處理頭髮中、尾段部分,減少頭皮對藥物的吸收
  • 染髮前一定要做皮膚測試,確定沒有過敏反應,才試用該產品。測試時把染劑抹在手上或耳朵後面,觀察最少1天,留意有沒有紅腫等不良反應出現
  • 如果要染髮,最好改用無副作用的天然染髮劑,這是防止染髮劑副作用的最有效方法

市面上出售的天然染髮劑,大多數的染料是從植物提煉出來。當中的天然染髮劑較多人知道的是海靈草。海靈草是天然的染髮成份不傷頭皮,除了為髮絲外層締造一層保濕護髮膜,同時顯現自然的顏色, 不損髮梢表層,並且強壯髮根,讓秀髮更見光亮豐盈


海靈草染髮
好處
缺點
不傷害皮膚: 染髮可直接用手塗在頭髮上
時間長: 整個染髮需要至少2個小時
不怕擔心因染髮時間過長而引起的皮膚敏感
顏色選擇少
可重複染髮

不會造成環境環境


市面上大部分可買到的海靈草都屬粉狀, 需要用家自己去調教份量或額外需要其他材料配合
JOVEES的海靈草過長沙保濕護髮膜用法簡單, 放在家中什麼時候都可以染髮 而且其獨有的嶄新水漾蒸餾萃取科技確保鎖緊活躍成份內的純淨度和至佳效果. 來自活躍成份內的每一個納米分子配合水漾配方直接滲入皮膚底層, 潤澤肌膚


活躍成份 : 海靈草, 過長沙, 楝樹, 醋栗果, 石榴枝

使用方法: 使用23小時,將護髮粉末混和暖開水形成膏狀, 可以調配護髮膜後或使用前的時間長短來控制其色澤,時間愈長則色澤愈深。  洗頭後用毛巾擦乾, 帶上手套, 將護髮膜塗勻於髮根至頭髮底部,帶上浴帽 (附設於套裝內), 然後用熱毛巾裏著頭髮1小時後以洗水徹底沖洗
