      Actually, the EWG app does account for the percentage of the ingredient (i.e.-under 1% phenoxyethanol) to determine the rating. And Sephora's clean standard does also. You have to read the fine print because the formulation, where it's used, and amount of the ingredient in the product are also relevant, unless you are a strict adherent, and any sight of a specific chemical makes you uncomfortable. That's probably why Amy saw a green score next to some products with certain ingredients in them.

    Its crazy I watched the “Not so pretty” documentary on Netflix and it opened my eyes to how many products I was using that was awful for my body. I looked at the ingredients I had and threw out a giant garbage bag of products and at the time I worked at bath and body works while in college so I was near toxic fumes daily. Once I left there and stopped using carcinogens in my products and cutting down on using products with endocrine disrupters my health changed for the better, my menstrual cycle and thyroid issues disappeared and i went from having migraines weekly to only having one maybe once a year. If your reading this PLEASE look at what your putting into your body, it’s a long process but it’s worth it in the end!!

    @phillygdev Год назад +9

    Be careful not to oversimplify an ingredients list. The concentration level of the ingredients will also factor into their scores because certain concentration levels of some chemicals (like phenoxyethanol) can be deemed to have minimum risk. And in many cases scientific-based non-profit groups like EWG are confirming the source origin of some questionable ingredients. Also, Sephora explains in their clean requirement that they also account for the percentage of certain ingredients before they label a product green. That's probably why you notice certain products with those ingredients still meeting the "clean" requirement. Most importantly, do your due diligence. If you are uncomfortable with an ingredient, don't use it, but also don't be hasty throwing things away.

    My only thing with this video, you are calling POTENTIALLY toxic things "toxic". You should be able to differentiate endocrine disruptors, irritants, pollutants etc. I'm not going to be one of those "everything a chemical!" people lol. You still have an immune system :) Please consider donating items to women in shelters who don't mind the products. I have allergies and sensitivities to MANY things lol, avoid fragrances is the main toxin along with formaldehyde releasing ingredients. Glad you're keeping it clean.

    • @RoseSimeus
      @RoseSimeus Год назад +1

      Exactly!!! A lot of the ingredients can be potentially toxic to certain groups of people depending on current health conditions. Someone who doesnt have sensitive skin can use an ingredient with a health impact of possible skin irritation. If it doesn’t irritate you, it’s not toxic for you.

    I’ve been in the process of cleaning out my products over the last year as well! I absolutely LOVE the brand Attitude! Their shampoos and conditioners are really good although just being transparent, I do find my hair gets greasier with more “natural/cleaner” shampoos. My hair doesn’t lasts as long as with other regular shampoos. But still worth it for cleaner ingredients! Their household cleaning products work great as well.
    I recommend going to healthy planet or Whole Foods for these types of products! P.s. they have hair dye with cleaner ingredients too

  • @yeahumkay
    @yeahumkay Год назад +1

    I am allergic to phenoxyethanol and it is in EVERYTHING, esp the 'natural' products. I went full on granola crumcher products, no silicones or anything, and wowser. I had so many skin and hair issues. Some of the stuff is really harsh, and I started to look not so good. So I now get the good stuff for bigger things, like body wash, and body cream but allow myself to buy some of the other things I love - like I use Burts Bees gloss, and other organic cheek products, but non-natural concealer and mascara. Avene although not natural, has a line of products that put their stuff in containers that don't allow air in them, so they don't need preservatives. Shoppers always has sales, and the stuff saved my skin. Alot of natural stuff also uses waxes etc, that can give you legit blackheads. So I am now all about balance :P Good luck in your journey! ps. Check out weleda pricey but some good stuff.

    Thank you Amy for highlighting some insight to the dangers of toxic chemicals that are, unfortunately in many of our favorite products. I work in beauty and this is a top priority with the focus on moving towards pure, clean products including the packaging. I see some of your subs may not embrace this advice but the toxicity will do more harm in the long run. Some companies have or will have no choice but to make changes. It's not just in beauty products, it's the cars we drive, the products we clean with, the food we eat, our cookware, its in the aur we breathe. We want to look good on the outside but its what we put in and on our body that we need to rethink. Amy keep sharing this content. I'm purging and replacing my products 👍🏼🤗

    @BeautifulBlueSky26 Год назад +1

    This is really great! Just a note that some xenobiotics do enter the body and can cause adverse health effect when ingested or inhaled, rather than through skin exposure (dermal exposure). Hoping the studies associated and brought up by the app you're using show this too. Also, in some situations, it really does build up over time and is not a large risk when you're exposed for a short amount of time. Not saying you should risk it, but a reminder to not be too frightened if you notice specific chemicals listed in your products, as adverse health effects usually are not immediate. But again - this is really great!!

    Maaaaan. I am doing this. For a while, I had been experiencing my hair coming out in clumps like the size of a small box braid when I washed my hair in the shower. I had a hair ball the size of almost 2 wool dryer balls once I have a good amount of hair so luckily it wasn't as noticeable. I found out today that there is a class action lawsuit for shampoo and conditioner brands that I had been purchasing. They were making peoples hair fall out. I had been buying them because it made by hair feel soft and curls pop. I'm a mom, so of course, I try to save where I can to use for other things. I had been using Aussie's Moist and Curl products as well as the Tresseme's Biotin line. I will be going to use natural hair products from now on. I had recently purged my skincare products and use Mad Hippie mostly along with Derma E for now but yeah making that switch is a smart move. Working on my makeup. I use Pur cosmetics and gradually buying LYS beauty. I know the same person created both lines but that's what I' m working on until I can do better. Maybe my hair will thicken up now. It use to be a lot thicker. Oh and yes the macadamia conditioner is the bomb. It melts your hair like butter but I guess I'll be looking for a nontoxic dupe.
