So beauties, we know a little more about why we should avoid Sodium Laureth and Lauryl Sulphates in your products, it is time to move on to Tip Two: No to Parabens!

As we discovered with SLS, we are pleased to see that many natural cosmetic and beauty companies are going to the effort to cut Parabens out of their products. However, as ‘Paraben’ is a blanket term for a whole host of chemical preservatives and fragrances, it can be a tricky one to spot and worse still, will have your tongue tied in no time.

This little nasty was one of the first chemicals that I black-listed back in the early days. Thankfully, clean-conscious product companies are clearly labelling this one, so it is easy to recognise when it has been excluded (or when it’s included if you look carefully).

So lets get down to business beauties.

Ever noticed how your shampoos or body washes get that fun foaminess to them? All that foaminess comes from our friends Sodium Lauryl and Laureth Sulphate.
