How many times have you seen a shower gel with bamboo, lavender or orange blossom extracts in the beauty department?
Take out your magnifying glass and read the label: most of the time, the formula is conventional and includes polymers, silicones and solvents (methyl, propyl, etc.).
It's called greenwashing, or making an anything but clean product look like the snow queen. In the same vein, we completely forget skincare that highlights a plant ingredient on top of the label and we trust our instincts: if this brand floods the market with new products every three months, that's a bad sign and not the guarantee of a slow and eco-friendly cosmetics label.
And if we talk about clean beauty, it's because clean means clean, and therefore, the label of the ingredients contained in your day cream must be made up of names that you know.
Moreover, the first 5 names on the list are crucial: if in 1 it is written vanilla and in 2 it is written ethoxylated, flee!
Could it blow up in my face? No, but it won't do you any good.
Some examples:
Ethoxylated compounds are made from a toxic gas, ethylene oxide. Its impact on your skin is simple, it will clog your pores.
Silicones are harmful to the planet and window dressing when it comes to their effects on the skin. Otherwise, perfumed fragrances are in the vast majority of cases allergenic and synthetic.
So, do you still want to spread this super 200-ball cream on your skin?
Do you think you are prepared for all unpleasant surprises? Beware again of the notes on your packaging! Because if, if, as if it were not complicated enough, we must also pay attention to the names: “green”, “organic”, “certified”, present on these.
These are not quality evidence. On the contrary, in order to ride the trend, several brands claim to be lasting beauty, but are not at all.
And noting this info on the packaging does not mean much. Indeed, a certified organic label means that the product comes from an agriculture that respects the environment and the production is ensured without the presence of toxic substances, silicones, preservatives or allergenic substances.
A labeled product from a recognized organic organization is composed of 95 to 100% natural and organic ingredients as well as a maximum of 5% of ingredients approved in a so-called positive list and tested by the label.
It is for example a preservative that is not harmful to the skin. There are, for example, Nature & Progrès, EcoCert, Cosmos Natural, BDIH… all of the recognized organizations have strict standards to guarantee the quality of treatment.
