INGREDIENTS

Ingredients Glossary

One of the most important things about transitioning from traditional skincare products, beauty and cosmetics to natural, organic, cleaner and greener products is about knowing what differentiates them. Packaging these days can be so misleading and it is easy to get lost with it all, so reading labels and the ingredients list is so important. And of course you need to know what you are looking for and looking at. This is all about the ingredients that make up each and every product. If you don't understand the ingredients, what they do, where they come from and why you might want to avoid them, or even choose them over another, then you won't be able to make the most educated choices. Choices that mean you pick the best products for you, your skin, your health, body and lifestyle. Even for others, say your babies and children. Choices that are even good for your mind.

Ever looked at the ingredients list on a product and only recognised 'Aqua (Water)' and the rest just feels like 'WTF?' 
I have, I Know that feeling all too well!

This means research, and lots of it. 
Google is your best friend. 
Trust me.

But here in this little space I have tried to make it one step easier. This I hope to make a resourceful page of ingredients, both that may be avoided and may be deemed safer, better alternatives. After all it's no good being told what you can't have, without being told what you can.
Of course this list is not the be all and end all. It is not hard fact, it's my research put into a way I understand and hope others find easier to grasp. It is not me declaring that one thing is bad, fact. Nor am i saying this one thing is good, fact. It's to help inform you and guide to in your own personal choices. Please don't end your research here, go out and explore as much as you can, things are constantly changing and it's the best way to keep informed and keep healthy!

I just hope this list makes that first step a little bit smoother and easier!
