24 Toxic Ingredients to Avoid
As a skin care company that prioritizes safety and efficacy, we always stay up-to date on toxic ingredient lists. Over the last few years, we’ve been paying a lot of attention to preservatives, in particular. There are good reasons to avoid parabens, but the substitutes for parabens used by many companies claiming to be organic, natural and toxin free are also problematic. Specifically, preservatives like phenoxyethanol and/or sodium benzoate may be contaminated with carcinogenic compounds or react in the presence of other molecules to produce carcinogens.
This comprehensive list was developed to help you navigate your product labels for the safest skin care yet.
