List of "bad" cosmetics ingredients

pfal6

So I am finally ready to remember what the ingredients are that I should stay away from. I have already bought some Whole Foods shampoo and conditioner. But honestly I have no idea if they are actually EF or not. I am just going on WF's reputation.

 

Also what is no 'poo?

Personally, my body/cosmetic products have to met the following criteria

-no SLS (DH is allergic, plus we just don't like chemicals)

-no parabens

-no animal testing or animal ingredients

-no synthetic dyes or fragrances.  Most of my body products are scented with lavender essential oil (EO).

"no poo" is when you don't use shampoo, you use baking soda or some such.  I don't do it so I don't really know what's going on with it.  Hopefully someone else can help you with that.

Here are the personal products I use:

Avalon Organic lavender shampoo and conditioner

I'm trying to follow pp list of ingredients to stay away from.

Basicaly no-poo is eliminating or reducing using shampoo to avoid stripping your hair of natural oils.  This explains it in detail:

Supergreen,

What is SLS? Also, is it $11 for one toothbrush or for the subscription where you get 4 in one year?

Thanks! You are always so helpful when I post
