Non-Tox Beauty
On a mission to remove harmful toxins and chemicals from your beauty routine? SAME. I'm personally focused on avoiding harmful preservatives, parabens, ethoxylated compounds, harmful colorants, and chemical sunscreens. Here's what that includes:
Fragrance
Parabens
Benzisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Octylisothiazolinone
Formaldehyde-releasing compounds (Quaternium-15, DMDM hydantoin, Imidazolidinyl urea, Diazolidinyl urea, Polyoxymethylene urea, Sodium hydroxymethylglycinate, Bromopol, Glyoxal)
Chlorphenesin
Japanese Honeysuckle
Grapefruit Seed Extract
Ethoxylated compounds:
PEGs (Polyethylene glycols)
PPGs (Polypropylene glycols)
Polysorbates
Ingredients ending with "-eth" (Laureth, Steareth, etc.)
Colorants:
Red 6
Yellow Lake
Sunscreen chemicals:
Oxybenzone
Avobenzone
Octinoxate
Octisalate
Octocrylene
Homosalate
I've personally chosen, to be okay with Phenoxyethanol (which some people disagree with) in just a few products. So if that is something you are personally trying to avoid, I suggest you double check ingredients.
