"100% Natural Active Ingredients" is not natural at all

As I'm starting to choose more natural products I particularly look for words like "Naturals" or "Organic" on the labels. I was raged when I discovered my shower gel from Bangkok that says "100% natural active ingredients" contains all those harmful stuff, SLS, PEG,.....etc. Having a second thought, the claim may be right, the active ingredients can be 100% natural but that doesn't mean they don't put in those other unnecessary and harmful stuff!
Beware of claims on packaging and it might be a good idea to review your cabinet and you will be amazed by the tricks those manufacturers did just to sell more. Afterall, your skin doesn't love these products, be smarter!

  2. That is so right!!! Companies put a few natural ingredients and then call themselves natural... what about parabens, mineral oil, etc?
    Oh.....

    Have you ever heard of Arbonne? Well, I am working with them and using these phenomenal products - no harmful chemicals (that's what we should be looking for - 'no harmful chemicals', not 'natural')

  3. Hi Romualda, yes exactly! "Natural" can be very tricky nowadays so we should tell everyone about such kind of misleading claims.

    Have not heard of that brand yet but will keep an eye on it :)
