In this episode, you're going to learn about five groups of widely used but problematic ingredients in personal care products: Formaldehyde Releasers, Parabens, Butylated Compounds, Petroleum-Based Ingredients, and Ethoxylated Ingredients.
I will explain what these ingredients are, why you should avoid them, and how they are regulated. (Or, in most cases, how they are NOT regulated.)
I’ve also created a downloadable list of 85+ toxic ingredients to avoid in personal care products for you!
Ingredient labels used to make zero sense to me. But the more research I did on this over the years, the less confusing it got.
My hope is that this episode and the list I’m sharing will help you understand ingredient labels without having to research this topic for years yourself.
