How to detect hormone creams and what hormone ingredients are there in skin care products

During this period, the incident of big-headed babies caused by hormone facial cream has attracted people's attention. Regardless of the exact cause of the incident, let us now understand how to detect whether hormone creams contain hormones?

How to detect hormones in hormone creams

1. Silver ring detection method

If you have a silver ring, you can put the silver ring on the palm of your hand, then squeeze the facial cream on the palm of your other hand, then press the hand with the facial cream on the other hand with the ring, rub it repeatedly, and then observe whether the ring turns black. If it is marked, it contains hormone ingredients, otherwise it does not.

2. Observation method

Generally, if the facial cream contains hormones, red blood streaks, erythema, pigmentation and other phenomena will appear on the skin after use. You can observe the skin for 3-15 days after using the facial cream. If this happens, it means that the facial cream used contains hormone ingredients.

3. Fire test

Generally, facial creams containing hormone ingredients will have black residue after using fire for a while. You can use an iron basin or other materials, squeeze in the facial cream and heat it with fire, then observe whether black residue appears. If not, it means it does not contain hormones or other ingredients.

4. Test card detection

Squeeze the cream into a test tube, add 5 ml of pure water, shake well, and let it sit for a while. Then use a pipette to take out a portion and drop it onto the test card. Wait for 5 minutes and then check to see if it contains hormones.

5. See the effect of use

If your skin immediately becomes better after using this skin care product, then this product probably contains hormones. If your skin becomes particularly bad after you stop using this skin care product, it also shows that the product contains hormones.

What are the hormone ingredients in skin care products?

The hormone ingredients in skin care products generally include flumethasone diacetate, halometasone, mometasone furoate, flumethasone, etc. You can often see words like this in some facial creams, so when buying skin care products, you must check whether the ingredients contain hormones.
