NR Skin Founder/CEO Nancy Ryan Focuses on Educating Consumers
Woodland Hills, CA (PRWEB) November 25, 2014 -- Drawing from more than twenty years of working closely with dermatologists, plastic surgeons, medical spas and consumers around the USA, NR Skin Founder and CEO Nancy Ryan is determined to help people better understand the ingredients that they are putting into their skin and why.
Her newly launched company, NR Skin, is built around the overarching objective to bring “good health, wellness and vitality to people through their skin, with a passion for educating consumers so that they can fully understand the features and functions of skin care ingredients.”
Nancy Ryan envisions a world where consumers will “read their skin product labels with the same interest and knowledge as they now read food product labels in the grocery store.” Based upon years of observation and industry feedback, she recognizes a dire need to help consumers better understand what they are actually putting into their skin and why. She comments, “With all of the complex ingredients listed on skin care products today, it’s easy to feel like you have to be chemist to know what's going into your skin— with the rolling microscopic text, the long chemical names and, of course, the Latin, these ingredient lists can be quite difficult to decipher. I’m committed to help clear this up and help consumers prioritize label-reading on their skin care products so that they can make better choices for skin rejuvenation and repair.”
Ms. Ryan points out that the FDA requires that skin care ingredients on the product label are listed in the order of highest to lowest concentration. For example, if hyaluronic acid is the fifth item in the ingredient list for a moisturizer, it is the fifth most concentrated ingredient in the product.
As consumers may not fully realize, the more ingredients on the list, the less concentration of each ingredient as the list goes down. Therefore, she points out that “it is important to be certain that the active ingredients – the ones you are paying for to improve your skin – are listed near the beginning of the list. “ Ingredients listed near the end of the list typically comprise less than one percent of the total and if so, can be listed in any order.
In all skincare products sold in the United States, ingredients are always listed in proportional order with highest quantities at the top of the list. With that in mind, Ms. Ryan encourages consumers to “look carefully at the list of ingredients on your favorite cream or serum and see if the active ingredients at the top or bottom of the list. Many people are surprised when they do this!”
