The shortlist of active ingredients to avoid (for your skin... and for the environment)
Unfortunately, we could not list everything because each family of ingredients can have a lot (really a lot!) of variations. So we grouped the most encountered and easily identifiable ingredients on a label.
Sulphates Sodium laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate
Silicones Dimethicone, dimethiconol, cyclopentasiloxane
Mineral oils paraffinum liquidum, petrolatum, mineral oil
Parabens isopropylparaben, butylparaben, methyl parahydroxybenzoate
Triclosan trichloro, carbanilide, triclosan, diphenyl hydroxyl ether
Aluminium salts Aluminium chlorohydrate, aluminium zirconium pentachlorohydrate
We keep a cool head: it is not so much the incidence of a single active ingredient that can pose a problem: it is the famous "cocktail" effect that one must fear more, that is to say the accumulation of several problematic ingredients, but also their use on the long term. So there is no need to panic and throw away the entire contents of your shelf ;-)
