also every time I talk about “clean” and “dirty” products, I get people like “clean beauty is a scam”, which is so. You’re getting caught up on the KEYWORD. We’re not talking about brands using the word Clean on their label and charging $50 for moisturizer. I’m not talking abt buzzword Clean, I’m talking about Risk Of Harm type Clean.  It’s legitimately helpful to be able to check your, idk, conditioner, and not only see what’s in it, but actually understand the ingredients. You can get so much info. Like, is this ingredient classified as dirty because it’s a skin irritant? Or because it’s an endocrine disruptor? Or because it’s a known and proven carcinogen? Like, beauty and hygiene products can have so much Shit in them, it doesn’t hurt to check.  Also, maybe this is just bc I’m nosy, but I like getting all the info. Like you can get so much shit on A Single Ingredient. I just pulled one up at random, that is in a conditioner I’ve used before. 

It gives you so much info right off the bat. How this ingredient would be more likely to cause harm/irritation in sprays or powders that can be inhaled or ingested. What it is for (a preservative). What it does NOT do (does not cause cancer, does not trigger allergies, etc), what it CAN do, and what are other names for it that you might find on a label. Like idk! I think it’s interesting! We’re just out here learning stuff! It’s not supposed to Scare you, it’s supposed to help you make Informed Decisions abt what goes in and on your body. What you should be scared of is the stuff in Head & Shoulders. 

#I picked this ingredient specifically bc it's NOT rated highly on the Potential Harm scale also. #it just CAN be harmful. but what's important is that you know about it. #sergle.txt #long post #like idk man I just think it's kind of fun #and it's good for my peace of mind #also I used to get hives almost every time I took a shower #bc I used to use just the most. like. just whatever we picked in the aisle at the store. for shampoo/conditioner/bodywash #and you assume that like. it's in a store so it can't be bad for me #well first of all yes it can #second of all there are some ingredients that are more likely to be allergens than others #and my ass just avoids those allergens. and now I'm ok!
