Our skin absorbs 60% of what is applied to it and hence the chemicals in products that it comes in contact with, going directly into the bloodstream. What we apply to our skin should be good enough to put inside our body as even in tiny amounts these chemicals can have a huge impact on our health and hormonal balance.

Our Ingredients
How harmful chemicals like sulphates parabens etc make their way into our products Our skin absorbs 60% of what is applied to it and hence the chemicals in products that it comes in contact with, going directly into the bloodstream.

It is crucial for you to understand what goes into your products and take steps towards Safe, Clean and Responsible beauty. But, the beauty and skincare industry is highly unregulated with claims, labels and ingredients lists being very deceptive. Brands also do not share their entire ingredient list and share only the key ingredients and manage to hide several harmful chemicals and preservatives. Some of the most harmful ingredients even if they are present in low amounts that you should be vary of are: 1. Silicones Ubiquitous is most beauty products, silicones are polymers with multiple names making it hard to identify their presence in skincare products. They act like a barrier on skin blocking pores and trapping debris, bacteria, sebum and dead skin cells. 2. Parabens Used as a preservative in several products, presence of Parabens has been linked with breast cancer, reproductive disabilities and general irritation of skin. It reacts with UVB leading to additional damage and aging of skin. 3. Sodium Lauryl Sulphate Being an inexpensive chemical added to most foaming beauty products it Is also found in pesticides, car batteries. It is linked to cause irritation of eyes skin and has corrosive properties. 4. Petroleum based or Mineral Oils Being extracted from crude oil, they are contaminated with several toxic impurities. Potentially carcinogenic and can disrupt endocrine hormonal balance. 5. Phthalates Linked to reproductive toxicity, endocrine disruption and cancer. High presence of phthalate is seen in color cosmetics and artificially fragranced products. Also, keep an eye on presence of high concentration of heavy metals like Zinc, Cadmium in your products.

Avoiding all these will have a positive impact on your skin and your long-term health and well-being.
