Like all women I love cream, shower gel and fragrance and cosmetics in general colored ... but WARNING, very often what we spread on the skin is bad for us, the environment ... and for our pockets!
We should learn to read the ingredients on the back of the pack, namely the INCI.
Since 1997, every cosmetic on the market, must include a list of ingredients on the package, which is drawn up in descending order, ie in the first place is the ingredient with the highest percentage, and to follow the other, until get to the last ingredient.
The ingredients of vegetable origin, which have not undergone chemical processes, are given in Latin (as botanist), followed by explicitly use in English (eg oil). The ingredients that have undergone a chemical process are given in English. The dyes are identified with the initials IC (colur index) followed by a number, usually are placed at the bottom of the list. Eg hair dye colors are denoted by their chemical name in English.
To understand what our loved ones are made cosmetics do not have to be chemists, mainly because there are sites that can help us to decipher the various acronyms, the only thing you need is a little 'patience and will. Let me quote the famous Italian biodizionario site, which lists ingredients with the next shot, the red, yellow and green (like traffic lights) that indicate the brevity and the harmfulness of the ingredient and the site skin deep (in English) where you can find a description of the ingredients, also , gives a score from 0 to 10 for each component.
I hope I've at least somewhat aware ', the only advice I would give you is to pay attention to these chemicals as they damage the environment, affect us directly that we use them. I would also like to remind you that each of us can make a difference, because fewer chemicals and it will use less product!
soon
